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).

Nelson is my father. He's a software developer, and is helping me with the website (custom modules) and with our client management system (CyberCafe Pro). We're also developing a real-time stat gathering engine that will integrate with out SQL server and be delivered to our web site with a cusom...

I'll start thowing some stuff together right now. It will be appended to the website.

This is actually an interesting point, considering that I am not 25 yet :roll: So although we are looking for managers with some maturity, it is not a ard requirement.

RE: Advertising, I've already had an article written about the store in the #1 paper in the area (front page of the local section, above the fold) and am having full-page ads put in all the local high-school papers. Additional advertising at the movie theatres and word-of-mouth will be enough to...

$5/hr for members, $7/hr for everyone else. Membership is $20 and comes with 3 free hours. Booze is a definate impossibility. I was bearly able to get a permit as it is. Monterey county is downright hostile to new ideas.

I am certainly still looking, and would love for you to swing by ;)

Yes, you are PST=GMT-8 EST=GMT-5

I'm not meanign to be a thorn in your side, honest ;) So you're saying you trust a single SCSI drive as much as a RAID-1 of ATA? I just finished repairing a RAID-1 of SCSI an hour ago, after one of the drives failed (9 months old).

Yeah, I realised right after I made the post that it was bad timing. I just finished trying to relocate the server...the T-1 is in, but isn't synching...they should have it licked tomorrow.

In that thread many people are talking about a "premium product", I think mine counts, what do you think? A64 3000+ 512MB PC3200 ATI 9800Pro Raptor GbE 22" CRT 2.1 Speakers or Plantronics Audio.90 headphones Dedicated top-end servers on-site T-1 Internet access The 20 most popular games...

I currently have 2 teeth that are in the state described by the OP. One has been like that for 2 years, the other for only a year. The pain is gone. Keeping them clean is more difficult, but of all the things going on right no, it can wait another year (or until I get insurance, whichever comes...

:wink: I was actually looking at a more adult-oriented market originally, including a full bar and some form of "entertainment", but getting the necissary permits is hard enough as it is.

Thanks, It's already been tons of fun (and quite a bit of work), and the success would be a good thing, too. I'm already looking for more funding to open more of them. As soon as this one is "in the black" I'll be moving towards additial stores locally and franchising.

No, that's what SATA is for. Even enterprises are going this direction. You seem to be going against the flow here. Why?

Oh, I guess all my other threads have been at the other place...so here it is. I'm opening a computer gaming center in Monterey, CA. It will include 20 workstations (with similar spec to mine above), 22" Mitsubishi CRTs, Dedicated servers and a full T-1. I took out a $100,000 loan to make it...

1. Yes 2. Mushkin (cheapest 512MB PC3200 "known" brand at the time) 3. Great, though the speakers they're currently connected to suck (SBS350 2.1). I'll have one jacked into my klipsch 2.1 pretty soon and have a better idea.

Actually, I am the customer for all these systems. It's for my new business. But thanks for the link. Humor is good.

NP, I appreciated the comment anyway :P

My sister (currently attending UofO) doesn't even bother getting DSL when she goes to a new apartment. She's certain she will find an open AP. This also makes going nuts on Kazaa a lot less risky :lol:

Make that a JB...ran out of SATA ports :)

eh, I added a WD2500JD as well...WTF. I'm still not worried about the PS at all. This is a high-end PS with a true 300W and plenty of cooling. It can take a lot more than this.

Well, it's been running about 12 hours now...playing with the DOT (Dynamic Overclocking) too much caused a few crashes, but that's to be expected. I'm really impressed with the set of tools that MSI offers as well, including automatic drive and BIOS updates. Very pleased so far, but I'll be able...

I'll be able to give you some more info on the Raptors in a few months. I've been running 4 of them in my personal machines for quite a while, but I have 25 of them at my feet right now, along with 25 A64 3000+, and 20GB of PC3200 :mrgrn:

I've had it with this Celeron 466...so I'm building my new system right now. AMD Athlon64 3200+ MSI K8T NEO (K8T800) 1GB PC3200 DDR ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 2x Raptor 360GD (the new ones, not in RAID) Pioneer DVR-A07 Sony DRU-510A Sony 52x24x52 Antec P160 Case Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu (CPU) Zalman...

1. Though the screen itself is less visible, the enclosue of a retracting screen is more visible. Plus it's modular design makes it easier to steal. 2. Laptop monitors are too bog 3. The LCD screen itself isn't illegal, but some content is (movies, etc) good luck proving that. And that adds...

Oh, I'm still here. My GbE link goes to 40% on a single file transfer from a WD2500 to a 360GD. Why is maxing a 100base-T so difficult?

Simple. Give it the beer, first ;)

Nope, though I have used the older one. More recent installs have been sans case, that way no fans are required at all. The 7200.7 is the loudest component (hell, the only component that makes sound at all) in the system. And cars are normally pretty good at absorbing sound.
