Dexpot looks interesting, but I think I prefer just having more monitors.

According to Antec, my revised home computer requires an 806W power supply. According to my Kill-a-Watt, it is drawing 550W at full load. That isn't bad. ;)

Nope. The American people are (on average) idiots. The only thing we can hope is that they don't notice. Of course, if we used more modern techniques like a Traveling Wave Reactor, this would be less of an issue.

If you leave the BIOS boot order at "Basic" where you only specify HDD, CDROM, Network, then you're fine. If you go to "Advanced", where you specify devices individually, hardware changes can shake things up.

1. Under volting a laptop can kill it. 2. Netbooks are perfectly capable of dying without help.

Good thing my boat was on it's trailer; 3' storm surge in the harbor. Broke a bunch of boats off their moorings, sunk 3. The water was leaving the harbor at 20kts.

True. Unless you got the highest-capacity drives that still used all the channels. IIRC, they actually did a recall on this problem.

I'm pretty sure that GPU Tracker V2 uses the console clients in the background anyway. And I've confirmed the update to the A5 client on all my machines. My fastest machine (work) is working on a 6900 right now, and will likely finish well inside of 3 days.

Conversely, Buck's shop has always had excellent service.

FuturePowerPC yanked me around for days on the 3tb wd drives. I wouldn't use them again.

Intel 40gb ssd? Depends on the capacity requirements.

Same here, which if a little surprising.

Wow. I understand that the police need to pursue crime, it is what they do and crime is a bad thing, but I wonder what the cost of just your case is.

So the delivery company had put it on your porch, someone took it, opened it, and abandoned it in a public location, where it was brought to the attention of the police, who then sent someone to your house to wait for you to get home? Wow. That is pretty wild.

Then just watch your regular TV cross-eyed and pretend ;) Honestly, I don't feel 3D contributes significantly yet. Give me some real VR goggles and some decent content and we'll talk.

It will be, but I think the RevoDrive is an old enough model to not have them at the moment.

I don't think so.

We don't have (nor need) a system that tracks "useful" posts, so we work with what we have ;)

I hate Paypal, and refuse to create an account or tie it to a bank account. Even though resellers say they accept credit card payments through paypal even if you don't have an account, paypal will refuse to process payments from a card after you've put $10k on that card until you create an...

Interesting. I've seen people use a bellows rig to create a tilt-shift effect of some kind, but this guy made his own lenses and left the bellows on the rail. Probably a PITA to work with, but I'm interested in the results.

Wow. Do I want to know?

Most of this stuff is for clients, but I get to stress test for a while. Also, as it warms, I won't be able to run the stuff at home full-throttle. Edit: It stays cool quite a bit longer where you live ;)

Another 570 showed up today, I'll be seeing you soon ;)

Got it working again, just had to terminate all the FAH processes and try again. Has Fushigi finished for the summer? Edit: Looks like LiamC has stopped as well?

When it was just me it didn't bother me to be self employed. Some months I made twenty grand, some none. Now that I am married with a mortgage, there is no way I could handle the pressure. Just be sure top have a plan "b". Something else you could take up that mightsuck but would pay the bills...

You bet. Or a16x slot for that matter.

I'd like to thank our fearless leader for 8k+ very appreciated and useful posts. Congrats!

So get two and RAID1 them ;) I still haven't had any fail.

They are available in sizes that could be easily large enough for just about anything, and are plenty fast.

Mine start downloading fine, but before all three can finish it stops and returns an error: FATAL ERROR: Could not download clients Check your internet connection, then try Setup -> Download FAH Clients I'm certain if the stupid program would just wait a few more seconds before erroring out it...

Home 1 is completely offline, as FAH GPU Tracker won't download the new SMP client.

IPA ;)

B3, Your post basically says "computers that aren't available now will be faster than the ones that are". While I agree, it isn't particularly...novel ;)

I would stop at the GA-X58A-UD7.

$1.87/MHz is a bit steep, even at these prices. No OCing on this machine at all; CAD, Photoshop, and FSX.

Sounds good to me, of course it doesn't involve much effort on my part ;) I also lack the skills to do much of anything in this scenario. My contribution may just be financial/hardware.

Spiffy onboard audio and networking gear. And the ability to go triple crossfire. The one that supports quad crossfire costs another $100.

I love some of my consulting clients; they seem to be made of money. 5 items in my Newegg cart, totaling $2500: Intel Core i7-970 Gulftown 3.2GHz LGA 1366 130W Six-Core GIGABYTE G1.Sniper LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Kingston HyperX T1 Black Series 24GB (6 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM...

I've noticed that only when the screens where cleaned while still hot. Whatever liquid dries before it can be removed.

HTC is my phone maker of choice.

For less than the price of colo we could manage another business-class internet connection at your place, and even manage some redundancy. If we were able to take the hosting cost and responsibility off Doug, and some of the others can help him with the admin stuff, and make the site stupid...

Sorry for the late response; been out for the day. Nothing in a year. Mainly stupid BIOS defaults and a board that wouldn't support the latest CPU without a BIOS update that required installing a functioning CPU...just a pain.

That is indeed an awesome build. Funny you should post that, I was configuring something similar at the same time ;) I'm still allergic to ASUS, though.

Windex is fine, just don't let it stand on the screen for long.

You were able to step it up for Mark, I'm sure you'll do it again ;) PS: I'll have another GTX560 up soon.

Not sure what to call it? We already have a "changes..." thread as well? Perhaps "2011 refresh"?

We can start discussing ways to make it easier for Doug and faster for all of us. Require registration to start with an e-mail to a mod? Colo a dedicated server? I'm assuming the bulk of the admin duties are dealing with SPAMers? This place is important to me. I would happily send $10-25/mo to...

Well, I'm sure many here would be happy to contribute to keep the place alive (as many have in the past). I would volunteer my services to keep the place running, but I do not have the necessary skills. Perhaps additional steps could be taken to reduce the workload?

Sorry to hear that (twice). Medical issues?

Honestly, the OCZ boards still have an SATA interface between the flash and the RAID controller, but it is optimized better than I could do it, and the install is so darn clean.
