I went and looked on SR to see if my ancient posts about case dynamatting were on there. Evidently they were pre-crash era.

I'll stick a post in the "Rollcall: who is running what?" thread tonight or tomorrow with a list. Nothing out of the ordinary...for me anyway.

I wish they had already released the R520 when I finally threw down the gauntlet and bought the components for my new gaming machine a couple weeks ago.

That didn't seem possible, David.

Right on the slipstreaming David. However, if you are going to make a RAID array on these boards the RAID drivers either have to be F6'ed in during the beginning of the Win-OS install or slipstreamed onto the CD as a textmode driver using OEM Preinstall. I do slipstreams because I've had good...

Although it took a while, I finally was able to determine that it was the NV-raid drivers causing the havoc. For some strange reason, the newest set along with the last 2-3 iterations before them, simply will not work. Finally using an older v5.18 set worked just great. The real pisser in all...

Emule works exceptionally well for certain items that torrents don't exist for. Some modded client versions are very cool. :mrgrn: I still use it for about 80% of my P2P. Most of my downloads aren't movies/videos though.

Almost a religious experience here at the Groltz household... After fighting with the aforementioned scenario for the last 2 days the machine just booted to the desktop. Bartender, drinks on me...at least until something else fubars on this work-in-progress.

Has anyone in here had the horrifyingly nasty experience of trying to create a bootable SATA Raid-0 array on a Nforce4 board with an integrated NV Raid controller? I'll elaborate if there's any 'yes' votes.

Merc, can you get the same torrent off another site?

Ok, I went over to TorrentSpy and picked out a torrent to download. RESULTS Just finished about 5 minutes ago. It took a little while to kick in but after it did the speeds were decent. I am on Comcast 6MB Down / 768KB up.

...And prepare to be sued for $6,000,000.00 if you're not careful. Use PeerGuardian-2 to block malicious IP's. http://methlabs.org/projects/

Ok Merc, here's my questions: Is she getting her torrent files from membership-only sites? If you get a torrent that belongs to a membership site and you're not a member, they can cut you off via IP recognition. Tell her to try getting one from The Pirate Bay or another non-regulated site. Is...

Congratulations Will. You might try Central Brain Identifier to check your CPU info: http://cbid.amdclub.ru/files/cbid76b.zip (This little prog blows away CPUID) I've pulled all the stops from getting my new gaming machine assembled. Only waiting on ordered parts to come in now.

In honesty, I'm not familiar with it Fushigi. The one thing I do know is that people at my company that want to connect to the network from home (via broadband) must use a VPN-able router. I 'spose the trial by fire will begin once it gets here.

No shortage of poignant depth there, Merc. I hope you weren't inspired to share that due to a new (and unfortunate) personal experience.

Deepest thanks for the acknowledgment, Buck (x4) :wink: I honestly didn't think it was going to be noticed. Cheers and have a good weekend, compadre.

I put a Linksys BEFSX41 on order today along with a bunch of other parts that will make up my new gaming rig. The BEFSX41 has a VPN endpoint with should let me tie my work-issued laptop into the mothership's network from home. Thanks for the advice and experiences. -steve

Horrifying punishment indeed. Way to go, mom.

Tactful as always. :wink:

Will, these are kids that are at least 5-7 years old. Isn't your child quite young? My point was the decline of muscle-powered outdoor toys in favor of these battery powered ones. Fostering sloth and obesity, the American way. :( I could see it being tolerably different, as I hinted, if this...

Bartender! Make sure this hooligan never makes it into our bar. We would all either be broke or alcohol poisoned by the time he got done with us.

GE, RR, and Pratt are the 3 big ones that i know of.

It is a private plane. We have two of them. Pratt engines are more prevalent on US-owned 757's I believe. When I worked at United airlines, all the 757's had PW2037 engines. I went to a recurrent training class at Delta airlines last year and learned all their 757's have the PW2037 engines too.

More like arctic gold or platinum...After all, that is a Rolls Royce product you see me standing in. :wink:

Checking the blades on my new CPU heatsink fan for nicks and birdstrikes.

I was tempted to just revive Joe's old thread but then decided it would be easier to start a new one that did not already have 67 posts in it. Here we are in August '05 now and it is my turn to face, for the first time, gathering a solution as to how to share a home cable-modem among multiple...

I'm starting auctions for these two tomorrow (About 6:00pm Pacific Time). If anyone (in USA) is interested in details/purchasing let me know beforehand. Cenatek Rocket Drive - 4 Gigabyte Sapphire Radeon X800XT - AGP -steve

Bartender! Get our buddy Howell a glass of warm milk with a shot of Bailey's in it, please.

Sorry to laugh Eric, but even with recognizing your normal fanciful method of sprinkling typos through your posts, that one made me bust up.

@tazwegion Our friend Mercutio has had some extraordinarily lamentable life experiences in the last few years concerning the factor you/he mentioned. To be neighborly, it might be suggested to not draw focus on that topic regardless of his occasional references. -- My

The truck, Eric. :wink: I don't think my boss would like me hanging a "For Sale" sign on his 757.

...Still haven't sold it

Here's the machine I am running today. Pic #1 Pic #2 Sure is slow...yet expensive as can be. :wink:

It's bundled with Quicktime Alternative. And yes, it is a handy media player. Plays almost anything you can throw at it.

Just got the case and power supply I ordered from them a day early. :dunno:

Well, I was in an even bleaker mood than usual yesterday evening....

Russia's biggest spammer found beaten to death in home. Just when I thought there wasn't any good news out there today.

Same here, Coug. Thanks 8) After seeing your post and then reading the reviews over at Silent PC Review I knew this is what I wanted for my next gaming beast that I've started acquiring parts for. Ordered one last Friday. I'm going to swap out the fan that it comes with for a Papst 4412FML...

Gosh, it's sure great to be alive.

I'll be glad when summer's over.

@Merc, Well, I have an X800-XT (agp) already. Since the next machine I build will incorporate a motherboard with a PCI Express x16 video card slot, it looks like I'll be auctioning it off. I'll be taking a hard look at the ATI R520-generation cards once they get released.
