Well maybe help with the case but as others posted it's a personal decision like monitors for the look. Donate one of your old HD's and a DVD burner, I'm guessing you have those laying around?

Hmm, that multiple tab performance is just the reverse of my experience. I only have a couple addons but I found that FF3 is way faster with multiple tabs than FF2 was. I typically have less than say twelve tabs and more than five open at a time. I do have to make use of the undo close though...

So that's nine monitors arranged in a square for a big 153" screen plus one for the break room right? I'm thinking about getting on of the 40 something aquos's but the whole HDDVD/bluecrap war took most of my home theater interest and flushed it. Still I eventually want something bigger for...

Nice. Such a shame really, I remember going there in the mid 90's for reliable info.

Thanks. Actually I am damn impressed. Never used VMware before and it took a while to figure out the install VMware tools to get drivers but after that it was just easy. Fast too, server 2008 the eval link above anyway, installs very quick. I think I had desktop in under 10 minutes. Didn't...

Question: Is there a free or trial virtulization software that this will work under? I want to give server 2008 a try with our software to determine if it works or not (not just take mfg's "it should work") but don't want to dedicate a machine multiple boot etc to try it. Edit: looks like...

I have thought about this a couple times and I am on the edge myself. Something 30-35" with 1920x1080 sounds pretty good until I compare it with the virtual space I already have at 1600x1200 on TWO monitors. Just not ready to spend that much plus take a hit on virtual space but give me another...

Well I am still using AVG free and an occasional run of Spybot and Ad-Aware free for a total package that I think is decent while costs nothing. Best defense has to be knowing what not to do out there though, I simply don't run into trouble anymore. If I paid money it would probably be NOD32...

Symantic/Norton had a big mess with corrupted registry stuff something or other so I heard. Had to apply a patch before you did SP3, course you only find out about it after. Personally I had zero issues so far on personal machines but still holding off on the corporate machine as we use...

Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 ICH8R, running a couple Seagate 750GB drives pretty much flawless except a crash and improper shutdown kicked off a rebuild, which completed no problem. No experience with 0 or 0+1 on it though.

Don't exactly know where you are headed for this? Well for a broadband setup you will need a wireless router and a card in the desktops, the notebook I would assume should be all set. For a cellular solution you would need bluetooth in the phone and you can connect the laptop to the phone via...

Sweet, I did assembly language way back in college on a 8086 or 8085 or one of those variants.

Aren't they still using a hardened 386 for the shuttle flight computer? As this is just an experiment they get allowed to use the "newer" stuff, heh. Still I am impressed, that heat, violent breakup and landing could possibly be the worst treatment a drive has withstood.

Hope that doesn't last long.

Coming in close to zero seems like a victory till you look at that number that was bled off you during the whole year. I am all for withholding to get killed, if people get a wake up call by being presented a bill at the end of the year we will be in full out revolt mode. But then again there...

Just read the whole reply letter. Takes a certain type of writing style I just don't posses to come up with something like that but it's a good read. Monster won't even reply to him I bet, he could grab medias eye with this one easily.

Tax return? I filed way back in the third week of the year and that was absorbed long ago.

All I can say is the system we use is a pile of S and needs to go. Been around for over 15 years now, was based on a AS400 and to this day we still have to access it through a "green screen" AS400 emulator (personal communications AS400 client express anyone?) to reach all the higher functions...

Yes it was. To high? Make an offer, its just sitting here in the box doing nothing... I have been traveling so much recently I was supposed to put it on ebay long before now. Funny how stuff like that just slides, I have a ton of stuff here I need to sell.

Isn't that the whole point of doing reviews, to find that stuff out so people can steer clear? True, so many reviewers have sold out.

I can't answer to performance, I was running RAID5 with eight and later on four disks.

This is from my old server: http://scottjal.ath.cx:85/ebay/Bundles/ScottBundle1.htm I guess I could part it and dicker if you were interested.

One of those Lincolns with the disappearing door sold on ebay some time last year. The seller was saying that most of the demo cars were scrapped/enforced destruction by Ford as usual with a prototype: http://www.ronsusser.com/vehicles.asp?c=da&id=857 Was a damn sweet idea in my opinion. My...

I think in most places thats less than an hour rental for anything decent.

Happy to report that the Aten CS1762 works perfectly fine. This is a DVI/USB/audio controller. There are some odd quirks that I don't think are related to this device though. -When powering on a computer the switch MUST be switched to that computer, if you don't it will start up at the adapter...

On new systems I build for myself I tweak a bit and do memtest86 and prime after I get an OS on it. From there I will loop 3dmark to see if the graphics is stable for gaming. I also have this thing called Burnin tester which claims it will find problems, but I don't think I have seen it catch...

Well give it about three weeks and I will likely report back on that Aten, I think thats what I am going to get. Otherwise I am just looking at the reviews on the newegg pages.

I keep hearing they are sneaking up the release date of whatever comes next, looks like they are calling it windows 7 so far. I can wait till second half 09.

I need a plain DVI two workstation switch. Because of the nightmares I have had with USB mice and keyboards with KVM's I want to stay PS/2 because it just works (even in DOS, go figure). I see a slew of options on the egg, very different than a year ago when I looked last. I even see an ATEN...

Yeah for the laptops I have had more memory and a 7200rpm hard drive makes them much more snappy. I have had the seagate 60gig 7200rpm drive in like three laptops now, fairly happy with it.

I hate that Blackberry's don't enable bluetooth wireless access when just about every other phone does. RIM sites security concerns but what the hell if you are on a wireless you know the risks.

I used MS Intellimice for years. A year or so ago I switched to a Logitech G5 and it's pretty nice. I really like its ability to change resolution on the fly so if you have to do something accurate you can crank the speed way down quick and get back to normal at the touch of a button.

Back on subject didn't Warner get paid off to make the switch? http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08012/848675-96.stm

I am so annoyed with the whole hidef war I might be skipping upgrading for a long time. I was planning on a new TV and player but I'm going to stick with my regular old 50"HD WS rear projection TV and up-converting DVD player. Someone really really screwed up in not planning that out, why didn't...

Tyler bundle 2 sold. 7800GTOC is sold. I forgot to mention the memory in tyler bundle 1 is Corsair XMS so there is a misprint I can't correct (thread editing). I also added a 74 gig Raptor to the individual items list, this forums favorite brand hard drive

I have a bunch of things for sale here. Flexible on prices especially if you want a couple things, just ask. Whole bunch of individual items video card, AV capture card etc, prices on the items. http://scottjal.ath.cx:85/ebay/Bundles/IndividualItems.htm These below you can view some details...

Interesting. I use ghost and I will make a note to check this out and see whats up. I have two Seagate 750's mirrored and partitioned. I generally image the OS partition but I haven't done so yet (shame on me). As far as the data stored on the other partition I simply copy it to a USB hard...

3ware just plain rules for maintainability / reliability. Now took my big array down to an on board Intel on board controller. I haven't had any trouble with it yet, why didn't you like yours? Mine is the one included with ICH8 along with P965 north.

I read an update somewhere that they are backing away from blocking the old file formats in response to the uproar.

He doesn't look anywhere near 12! Nor tech savvy!

Did you get a pop up message from the task bar? Sometimes I get something like that saying that the USB power port was overloaded, that can shut down other USB things too.

I know the fan on the x1950xtx is way better than the x1900xtx, think those were dubbed dust buster along with some of the early nvidia's.

Perhaps this is the first indications of "tiered" internet service? You want the big high bandwidth sites to load fast you need to pay more $$.

Actually I am pretty happy with Outlook and our corporate image in general. Not the fastest thing but everything works. I have had this machine for about a year and a half now without a re-image and because I am careful about what I do and generally I couldn't be more happy with it. Now that...

It's dictated by Liebert corporate and Emerson the parent company is Oracle. There was supposed to be a big switchover for Liebert to go Oracle but it's not even talked about any more. Thanks chewy, guess that is what I will have to do.

Outlook is dragging a** a bit on my office machine. I like to keep everything but I brought myself to archiving all my 2006 and earlier emails. I used the compress feature built into Outlook and it's way better now but I noticed that defrag won't touch the *.pst files I have. It used to say it...

Awesome. Getting close to 500 posts of complaining about vista. Quite an accomplishment on such a small board.

They aren't crap compared to what you are sending in. Seagate will send you anything and everything to get the claim done with, even a newer / bigger drive. I sent in a 300g and got back a 400g new drive as far as I could tell. All depends on what they have at the time.
