    Cases in colors other than black and beige

    Somewhat green. I think it would be awesome that you sell a case with the nVidia logo on it. There's no way I'll lower myself to search, much less link, a pink enclosure.

    It is much more complicated than that. It's not only Search Conduit ; the infection redirects you anywhere on their affiliated sites.

    Search Conduit : what a plague.

    Only the search engine of Internet Explorer is affected. I blocked many known malware sites using the immunization of Spybot S&D and SpywareBlaster. Firefox has been cured as far as I can tell. I've told the customer to either use Firefox or I need to reinstall. She chose the first option.

    I only have three computers doing big units. Nothing changed there. When I average ~50000ppd, it's because I don't use the slowest one, while I get close to 70000ppd when I add it. Right now, I use all three. You still outproduce me by a few thousand point every day.

    Router Build

    The more modern WRT160N rev3 can be flashed with DD-WRT. IIRC, it has faster hardware than the aging WRT54G. Avoid rev2 (for the WRT160N) since it cannot be flashed with DD-WRT. The Jetway/VIA C7 combo will consume ~20W with the RAM and hard drive. That's about twice as much as a low-end...

    Why not opt for the Norco RPC-470 instead of the Antec? It doesn't come with a power supply, but it only cost 82$ at Newegg and it has space for 4 additional internal 80mm fans compared to the Antec you linked. With the ~180$ you save compared to the Antec, you can buy a way nicer power supply...

    It's ok for an office computer, but since the top is obstructed, you cannot use it for one of those cases with a top exhaust fan. So it's not for a box that needs to remove a lot of hot air.

    AFAIK, you only need core A5 for big units. If the unit they decided to send you first isn't a big unit, then the client will download a core A3. You installed a Linux flavor or Windows. Apparently, the Linux client is back being faster than the one for Windows. Under Linux, in order to...
