Well, that copper has been there 8 years already. I'm not sure how that stuff is treated but I'm sure there there are some decent sealers than can be applied when needed. I'll have to look at that when we move in (2-6 weeks from now).

Is there any performance difference between a Barton and a Barton Mobile (at the same clock speed)? C

We're staying in Sterling Heights. The tax rates are low (decreasing every year for ~10 years), and SH is usually in the top 10 safest cities in the US (I'm not sure if that is based on some type of population class or something). Actually, I've lived in SH since I was about 7. We're going...

Hmmm that background now looks strangely familiar.... :)

Thanks for the keyboard. It was nicely packaged and works great!

I built a system for my father-in-law with that SLK 1600. It is a nice case although a bit on the small side. If you have an standard size or larger ATX motherboard with RAM slots @ the upper front location (an ECS K7S5A Pro in this case) , you may have trouble using the lower 5.25" bay if you...

That HEC 6A19 appears to be a clone of the Antec 3700 series (or vice-versa) except the HEC doesn't have the flimsy front bezel/door. Definitly a nice case!

Below a nice case I saw at CompUSA for $50 (no PS). Notable features: (1) 120mm Exhaust fan at rear with (2) 80mm Intake fans at front USB & Audio on Front at bottom (behind a litte door) The ribbed section at the lower front bezel removes easily exposing the filter (no tipping of the case...

I figured this was hot enough to put in the main forum. Enjoy! http://store.westerndigital.com/product.asp?sku=2192891

Sorry to disappoint with the tape! :wink: I've been trying to cut back. C

Howdy- I thought it had a 3.5" drive in there, Merc. A 5,400 RPM WD Protege, IIRC. Anyway, it is pretty cool and looks pretty neat. I took it with me when we went on our cruise because my cheap used laptop has no DVD player and I wanted to watch the rest of the first season of '24' which I...

I have a 420W TTGI that I'm now using in my spare machine (my new case came with a decent Antec 350W which is all I need and I'm too lazy to change it. The 420W TTGI is a great PSU and I assume the rest of their supplies are of the same quality. It has adjustable pots and the variable speed...

Hey Merc- Looks like you got sniped at the end there. If you still want it for $59 (free ship) I'll still give it to your for $59. I'd rather sell it to someone I know rather than a stranger. I'll just tell the winner that my nephew dropped the drive in my driveway and it appears not to...

Hi Merc- I'll throw in an extra layer of DUCT tape just for you... :wink: C

If you guys are looking for a good interest rate, check out Demand Notes. The rate is excellent although not FDIC ensured it is as secure as any good money market fund. Demand Notes have been around for a long time and consistently provide great interest rates. You can use it just like a...

Thanks for the info Primate... KCH

Hey i- Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question. You might try the D2OL forums if you really want the answer. Here: http://www.d2ol.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=3 One other nice thing about D2OL is that your work follows you no matter what team you are on. So, if you...

Hey guys I'm just here to give an update on SR's D2OL team and recruit anbody who might be interested. We're off to a great start and just grew to our 60th member. We've rocketed up to 25th place over the past 3 weeks and are the 4th most productive team participating in the project. One nice...

I can play again tonight..we need a foursome at least though...2v1 isn't that fun

I will be checking the server regularly starting around 9:30PM and should be able to play until about 12:30AM or whenever my eyes tell me it is time to go.

I keep looking for you guys on Blake's server but it is always empty. Doug- Can you e-mail me when you guys set-up a time? Thanks C

If nothing else, it's amusing. :lol:

Merc- With my WGR614 (Netgear) I had frequent disconnect issues when using 128-bit WEP. So, I was forced to use 64-bit WEP for a while. Since I got the latest firmware from Netgear, I can run 128-bit WEP without any disconnection issues whatsoever. So, you might try experimenting if WEP is...

Unfortunately, it looks like our team has nowhere to go but down in the F@H rankings now. It's too bad but it was fun while it lasted. I guess we did the best we could. Soon I'll be down to one or two machines folding. I will be giving one machine away as a gift (Athlon XP 1700+ @ 1850Mhz)...

That's cool. Now I know where you're coming from. I was under the impression you weren't willing to pay for your music but now I see that you are.... C

Oh and Brahms was a really good one too...

Hey Merc- You make a good point that apparently very little (if any) of the music available today is in your area of interest. However, if a download service let you sample tracks of music that you are interested in for free and then let you download it for a per track fee if you wanted it...

Coug- I meant when is that new form factor for motherboards/cases coming.....

Yeah. So I guess it is better to steal it. :-? I'm not sure what music will be available on Napster but I'm sure there will be services like Napster that serve all tastes in music. I really do believe this form of music distribution truely is the future of the music industry..otherwise...

It looks pretty nice. Too back the big form factor change is on the horizon. How soon is that coming, anyway? C

I agree, not many people will use the service, especially among poor college students and the like. But for me, having a place that is convenient/easy to go, has guaranteed quality, and knowing that I'm not stealing anything is worth about $1 per track (the $(whatever) 'monthly' fee is only...

You do have a point there but the population of the US is 292,300,012 and there is a birth every 7 seconds. :o C

I agree and I think pricing will eventually fall to competitive market pressures. I expect it will be a very competitive market. In general, I think the US public is getting sick of hearing about all the potential law-suits the RIAA is talking about and will start using services like the new...

I think the new Napster will do pretty good even against the Apple one and others. It basically has 99.9% name/brand recognition...even by people who have never used a computer as well as outside the US. C

Check out www.napster.com I preregistered. Of course, it is a pay site now but I'm willing to pay $0.99 per track. 5 free for pre-registereing. C

Yes Merc. You are absolutely correct. Everything that has happened to the US and the economy is soley because of GWB. In a measily 3 years he has managed to destroy the US economy and put millions of people out of work. It has nothing to do with the president who was in office for the 8...

LOL And to think Pavlov needed a bell..... :lol:

I'm sure some of you will just love to jump all over this...

BUmmer :o :-? :(

You're right on Pradeep. Those numbers are based on a population of drives that are running. C

2nd That. Great that you finially got some speed Merc. Congrats! You deserve it!

Heh heh . Been there. Done that. :wink: Any other leads? :?: THanks, C

When your not looking for custom loads etc. where is a good place to get ammo online that is inexpensive? I don't reload (and am not interesting in spending time doing it). Just looking for good inexpensive ammo to have some fun with. I'm picking up some CCI Blazer 124gr 9mm shells at about...

Hardley...I highly recommend reading the whole article. Especially how they basically had to re-do the double action design and frame to accept the massive loads of the S&W 500 cartridge. Here is the PM article. Some interesting quotes....
