This is what I've been doing my whole life. I've never gone into a job qualified to do it. And for the most part I've been honest about it.

I'm with mubs and Handy, and yes, I do. Every once in a great while there is a fork ahead, and you must make the decision rushed and uninformed, then back to "cranking it out"...

Late to the party again....sorry. My suggestion would be to connect the orange on smoothie to one of the LAN ports on your hardware router. That way you are only using the DHCP server and not bothering with another layer of NAT/BS... Just a thought.

"Do they put crack in the coffee here or what?" -My old secretary

I think the winner of the "sensible retail packaging award" goes to Thermalright. Their retail products ship in non-wax covered brown cardboard boxes with minimal inserts and plastic bags. I recently bought a case of OEM ATI Radeon 9800Pros, and they shipped in anti-static bags in a brown box...

Here we are given 3 waste containers, the first is very large and is only for yard waste. The second is 60% of that one's size and is for recycling, all different things that could possibly be recycled are dumped into the single container (they do the sorting). The third can is tiny, probably...

Of the CPU cooler? I'm not sure I understand the question. If you are speaking of the 4U rack linked by BooST, I have no experience. The 3U version that I linked to has nothing above the motherboard tray to the top of the chassis, leaving plenty of room for every cooler I've used.

A couple....ahh....er....nevermind. You want one of these.

I'm using the Antec 3U enclosure almost exclusively, and it has room for both the Supermicro SATA hotswap on the right and a standard DVD burner on the left. This is my standard config and I've built over a dozen of them.

This conversation probably went something like one I was a part of a few years ago, it was kinda one-sided: "We're bother here to make money, let's stop screwing each other and start screwing someone else; that way we both make more money."

But don't listen to me...I have bad taste. Current playlist follows: Cassius - Music Sounds Better CJ Bolland - Electro Power Collective Soul - Gel Collective Soul - December Cracker - Low Craig David - Key To My Heart The Cranberries - Salvation The Crystal Method - The Crystal Method...

Well, not around here. The blues festival is massive, KBOQ (k-Bach) is one of the more popular radio stations (at least of the people that matter). Then again, I'm currently listening to "The Who" doing Pinball Wizard....

Very Serious. I'll put it out here right now. If you want a fun job, give me a call @ 831.206.7395. 9:30AM to 1:00AM PST. Can't promise much money, but it should be a lot of fun.

I tested my MSI K8T800 board with 3GB of Crucial (DDR400) and it posted, but I'm currently only running 1GB (better overclocking)

Panaflo makes a 120mm fan that is very nice @ 7v. I use acoutstic paneling to cover the vents I don't want.

Merc, I'd like to give your post some more attention...but don't have the time right now.

Quite honestly, this has been my dream vacation for nearly a year now. Just globe trotting meeting people I've already spent years getting to know.

Already got you covered ;)

I do actually.

Yes, I said "a job". Not a very good-paying one, but you do get to play computer games on killer systems all day.

Considering that my last migration (from an Antec Sonata to the P160) involved compatible rails, it was massively easy. Also good for doing a PS swap, or changing the master/slave config, or recabling, or any of the other things OCD people do on a semi-weekly basis :o

Opposite? You mean you don't want friends? I was under the impression that you wouln't mind, yet feel disinclined/discouraged by the "slim pickings" and relative lack of social skills. This would make us very, very similar. If the regional dispersion is as clumped as you imply, that would...

Nah, I call up the army recruitment office and say that the person is interested. Good luck hanging up on them :mrgrn:

Considering that my local friends pool has now shrunk to 1, and that she's more of a GF than a F, my social options are beginning to suck. This in addidion to my new business opening very soon and random curiosity have prompted this question: Is there anyone here (in cyberspace) that live...

I can put up a word for the Antec P160 (the version without the window, TYVM). Though the front might be considerd a little flashy, the blue LEDs can be disabled quite easily, and the "fit and finnish" is A+. The case is a dream to work in and has all the things I've grown accustomed to as well...

Considering this involves the replcement of the motherboard, therefore the chipset, therefore the IDE drivers; I'd make sure that you have the latest drivers installed. Did you do a re-install of the OS when you switched? Or did you replace the hardware and let the OS detect the new devices?

Just like to chime in that my DRU-510A doesn't have this probem, either. You might also want to make sure that only one drive is set to maser (and the other slave) on that cable. And of course the important technical questions: Did this work properly at one point? If so, what has changed since...

For quite some time I've been a big fan of Australian wines, in particular the Yellowtail, then the Alice White chardonnays but now I have found the Nobilo Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and it is absolutely awesome. Very soft and slightly sweet, perfect for those evenings where you just need to...

Speakign of artistic liscence, the story I heard was: "NASA today flew their new X-43 test aircraft across the pacific at speeds over 7 times the speed of sound" :roll:

Part of our permit restricts our options here, but candy bars and sodas (Incl, Red Bull and the like) will be available at near cost. Anything to get people to stay longer ;)

:mrgrn: When you install UT 2004 and change all the video settings to maximum, a voice says "Holy Sh*t!"....and I'm still geting 100+ FPS :o

Few seconds? I wonder what the review had to say...

Well, the server is running Win2k3 Advanced Server anyway. I'm not worried about that either way. My question was, do I need to buy another copy of the game (to get another CD-Key) for the dedicated server? Or can the server be installed with the same CD-Key as one of the clients?

I'll have them both tomorrow, we'll see how it looks at max settings. You are all free to stop by and check it out ;)

I'll have my server up tomorrow, and it will be on a dedicated T-1 early next week. Could I find some volunteers to test it? :mrgrn:

I don't think I would be the first...unless you guys spend as large a percantage of your income as I do on geek toys...

My Ingram Micro account is taking forever, but I will be buying 20 copies of every game. Do I need a licence for the server of those games where I will be running a dedicated server?

I just tested BF1942 @ 2048x1536x32 :o Wow, that looks nice. I think this is running pretty sweet. Any particular tests to make sure it's up to the task?

Thanks guys, that'll teach my brin to lay off the refried beans....a very informative post.

What are peoples thoughts on using one of these as the basis for a car computer? Really small and can manage most of the features I mentioned above.

Well, I authored the thing uising FB (now FF), so it better work ;)

The only use I've found is Vicodin and Vodka for long plane trips...it's pain-killing doesn't work very well for me.

...a brain fard I decided to share :eekers: Throughout history, when a disagreement arises in a civilized culture, the more forward-thinking group says "OK, you stay here...I'm leaving". This led people from Europe to the Eastern US, and then again to the western US. One of the more...

I have quite honestly thought this many times.

I've made sure to have several games that are rated "E", as anyone under 18 will need a parental waiver to play anything else. These include WinChess, URU (sequel to Myst/Riven), Nascar 2004 (including a dedicated server), and Need For Speed: Underground (with a local server hack).
