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.

Dreamweaver is like Frontpage with half the suck removed. You can use it if you need to without getting ill, but it's best to be avoided.

Not very long, IIRC.

I have all the original episodes in a folder around here somewhere...

This is of course very sound advice. What I would like to set up is a bootable partiton on the mechanical drive that is the rescue disk with an automated restoration script (with a single "OK" prompt of course).

It is 4x PCIe. Much better than any SATA IMHO.

"SendBeerTo3204" in a hotel that charged a fortune for internet access.

My wife has never seen any Star Trek. I'm considering doing the chronological thing; starting with the newest movie, the highlights of the original series (tribbles, etc), the first movies, some episodes of TNG, not sure. She did Star Wars 1-6 for the first time in chronological order as well.

I use a powerex with my eneloops. Work great.

You can jump into the RevoDrive pool with me; they are very fast. OCZ is a liability, I understand that, but it hasn't bitten me yet, and I have at least 15 of these things.

I suspect that they have found very few people will pay appropriately more for a higher-quality drive. It simply isn't something that the OC/tweaker/fanboi crowd cares about. The rest of us get to choose between flakey mediocrity and super expensive enterprise stuff.

They only got into the SSD game because everyone else was making real crap. I don't know why they are in there now.

Company computers, yes. Personal computers, no. They can't afford to have me do it every time, and aren't able to themselves.

Wow. Congrats! I'm in for ~$240k on the house and $30k on my car. At least I got one car killed off.

I don't use VBox, but I have the host and guest on an SSD all the time.

I have blown that directory away with 100% success in the past. Take a backup first, of course.

I assume you mean USB3.0 8GB+? I have the 64GB version of this and really like it.

The cheapest if you have time and need more than a few is to get a small miter box and some long frame stock. Taking it to the next level and cutting some glass yourself isn't as challenging as it sounds.

Frames have always been the more expensive option. I find having pictures printed on canvas stretched on frames to be cheaper.

For the record, none of my machines have had any issues. The common denominator seems to be that the machines that broke had previously had infections of some kind.

I'd bet it doesn't support 3TB drives correctly.

Nope. I vaguely remember her from True Lies.

I've just got a bunch of drives sitting on my desk with some USB fans blowing over them. I'm sure I spent less than $2200 ;)

One unit mode runs one unit and then stops. I didn't notice that they were at 100% for days without going anywhere.

My FAH GPU tracker had enabled the "one unit mode" on two of my computers for a couple days.

Just a guess, but there might be something else in your pants as well...

I saw the snow, and then checked the thermometer. At that point, it wasn't sticking anywhere, but you could tell what it was as it fell. It never got below freezing, but there was still some accumulation (a few mm) on roofs and in the grass at one point.

Not me. So few points...I'd rather keep my B.Spec driver doing 24-hour races ;)

The temp is dropping pretty quick at the moment. Good thing I insulated the heck out of this house. Supposed to do some flying in a light aircraft tomorrow morning, hope there isn't too much icing.

50F mid-afternoon. Then it started snowing. Then the temp dropped 15F in 30 minutes. An hour later it stopped snowing and came back to 55F before the sun set.

Heh, at my current rate I'll actually catch P5....in 20 years ;)

No idea.

So far done 5 machines. 2 were flawless, one disabled the add-on video card and went back to the onboard, one can no longer access terminal servers that aren't on it's own subnet, and one went into a BSOD cycle (safe mode too). It seems to be a bit fussy.

Ah, got it. My machines are doing different things at the moment, so Hadruin and sdbardwick will get quite a jump on me.

The stats page I've been using keeps showing 90k+ for the day, but the next day it shows that I did 25k the day before and have another 90k+ for that day. Goofy. Anyone have a recommendation besides XCPU?

Random tip. If you buy the super-cheap Office Home and Student 2010 key card (no disk), the disk from an Office Home and Business 2010 will work fine, and give you 30-day trials of the rest of the software.

From what I understand, they are pretty powerful in the truly-ridiculous SMP machines, so long as the code is optimized.

An interesting Linux machine. They support Itanium, no?

I would agree, B3, except that so many manufacturers are just using the reference design, even the cooling system. All my GTX580s use a better cooling system, but that is the exception.

Got a great deal on it, and the cooling fan thingy actually isn't that loud. Edit: And you can never have enough RAM ;)
