Server quality stuff is not desktop PC stuff. My X5DA8 is out of date? I'm crushed. Gee, the new ATI 800 XL works just fine in it... Xeon 2.8 ghz processors have dropped about 120 dollars from the time I bought mine, less actually, since that's oem, and mine were retail, at 350, so the...

Will: Video cards are going to PCI-E 16X. ANOTHER AREA of bleeding edge. So, you have a 939 going dark, 64 bit OS not really ready for prime time, SLI not perfected, etc. Too many different technologies that are on the bleeding edge, in short supply, leading to elevated prices. Motherboards...

The H8DCE looks REALLY cool.... s

Mubs: I stand corrected. At that price, now all you need to make sure is the motherboard takes the dual core, which, with my luck, mine won't... :evil: As I suspected, the Nvidia 3 chipset doesn't support, at least on Gigabyte boards, 64 bit X2 processors. So, I'm yesterdays news, today...

MEOW :excl: :mrgrn: :roll: S

Ahh, NO :lol: I have BOTH the S12 600 watt, in the dual machine, and, a 400 watt in the Athlon 3000+. Both machines have Swiftech coolers, but, the 3000+ stays cooler, thanks to being, well, cooler... :roll: I picked up the last 400 Watt from our local frys, with 20% off, it came to 59.00...

Ok: Being cheap is my specialty. First, you you changed to a PCI-E motherboard, that is good. I am typing on a machine very similar to what you want to construct. Great case, same one I'm using. Try and get a 400w or 500w, if you are going dual core, Seasonic power supply. More expensive...

Hmmm. From what I've been able to gather, Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the way to go. Fuji=Taiyo Yuden DVD-R, so either should work well. Guess Sony is ok, but around here, I can't find any of em, so they are out. Check and make sure they say "made in Japan?" Thanks gs

Ny version of kayaks.... http://www.rawsonsurfboards.com/boards.html :wink: s

Actually, this is a far more liberal community then that. We have Dolphins, Orange people, Owls, etc. In fact, we english speaking humans maybe in the definite minority. We even have 15th Century Dead Italians running around... :wink: Computer Generated Babies, Giants, etc. I forgot my...

Hi Thanks to Mercutio, I traded in my single Sony burner for a couple NEC 3520's. They seem to burn Memorex DVD-R's that my sony wouldn't, and overall seem to be much more media forgiving. What are your favorite single layer DVD-R disks for the NEC burners? Thanks s

I forgot to mention: MUCH better to be illegal, then legal here. To actually become a legal US citizen takes years of buercrappacy to get through. s

What ever do you mean? We invite in half of Mexico, and they are now the majority of Kalifornia, and you say we don't include foreigners? We even include illegal foreigners, in particular, giving them celebrity status. They get drivers licenses, never get deported, unless they commit murder...

1988 Toyota Tercel, ez. Has 240 thousand miles, no oil rings, but excellent compression. Homage to Castrol GTX 20-50W oil. I've got a Casati sitting in storage, and a Gitane Tour DeFrance, waiting to get to a place that's safe to ride them, like the beach. Looked at houses in Pacifica today...

I have a Paypal account, but I emptied it, ASAP, and use it only for sold items being paid into the account. Too many times I've had fake emails that are so real, it's hard to tell if they are for real or not. Don't trust it. I would also setup an account just to transfer funds in, our, use a...

Much as I've enjoyed these mice: http://www.razerzone.com/ I will be switching to one of those mice soon. s

Only to a superior mind, like a dolphin :mrgrn: :lol: s

Thanks to all here, I'm delighted with Nod32. Great recommendation! Thanks s

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/productlist/US/EN,crid=2141&categoryid=6 I haven't used one in awhile, but Logitech tends to make cool combinations... s

Giant: Does the 942 case, and power supply, make much noise? Thanks g

Mercutio: Don't get defensive. Apes will be apes :lol: I also have a bunch of stuff I didn't list, that I won't sell, because I can use it in school, and, I guess if you want your kids to have computers, you have to bring, and buy them, yourself. Since I have a home office, I have no problem...

rofl! :shake2: :rant: :viking: :bounce:

It's funny how people don't get the basis of our legal system: People over property. The French/Louisiana/English often put property over people. It's really odd that the DOJ guys would consider that. Wonder if it's spam? It's funny that the Enron execs, and other corporation heads allow...

Mercutio: This looks like a GREAT printer deal. Cartridges, for Laser printers, are relatively reasonable, http://www.samsungtonershop.com/color_laser.html and, it ships with duplex, 128 mb of ram, PPC 266 mh processor?, networking and wireless, and with full real cartridges on purchase...

Just have them pay for the rest of their lives, our Trendmicro bills....or NOD32. Dieing over spam is a bit extreme. However, I know other people that have had blatant disregard for the law, and get away with it all the time, due to either buying the police, or police policy not to address...

HMMM. I think I have a reciever that does a pretty good job of that: Yamaha RX-v995. 600 watts, and 6 channels. When combined with Klipsch speakers, well, it sounds better then most movie theatres. We just got done watching a couple James Bond movies, and it's pretty incredible...

Time and labor are why I value Supermicro, and Intel stuff, if you'll excuse the pun :mrgrn: By the way, that Dell XPS 400 was a little over 3000 dollars, and looking back, I could have put together a far better computer for a lot less money, if I'd known then what I know now. Or, I could have...

My primary workstation: Yen Yao, or something like that, server box, with 17 drive bays. Supermicro X5DA8 with dual Xeon 2.8ghz cpu, with Swiftech heatsinks. XP, 2 gigs of ram, 2 NEC DVD 16X 3520A( thanks for the recommendations all) Seasonic 600W powersupply( quiet for it's power) ATI 800XL...

Well, I've got a Gigabyte 939 KN8s board with a bad ATA channel. $70.00. Took a month through www.ewiz.com to get the board replaced, and, I replaced it with a much more expensive Ultra model of that board, thanks to my local guys reeming me a new one, $140.00(should have been market price...

Thanks for the recommendation!!! Finally got it, and had it installed. It's about silent, and the only sound is really the SCA box fan, but, that's MUCH quieter then the sparkle 550W that was in it. Thanks again. Greg

Just got done doing a referee camp for high school basketball. Friday night was 2 pm -9PM, starting about 100 F inside, and tapering off to about 90. Yesterday 8am-8:30PM peaking at about 100 starting at 2 PM on. Same today, but we got done at 3:30 after starting at 8:00am. My pulled hamstring...

Of course, I work in Kalifornia public schools :mrgrn: :wink: s PS The good news is I get a change of scenery every year, but never fail, it's either a project supervisor, a principal, a vice principal, a Project Pipeline person, somebody in the equation is seriously whacked. Time to pass...

As has become clear, it's the RICH constituients that tend to be able to 'help' our legislators along. As socialist an idea as the average wage is, I like it. Let the legislator feel that new tax he just passed, or the bridge toll he just increased, on the average guys salary. Excellent idea...

Wow. Guess I'll stick with the older 4000 series printers, and an Epson 3170 Scanner.... s

Arnold got set up on this deal. First off, who cares about advertizing for health food supps? All of a sudden, the Kalifornia legislature does, since the guys making money on the stuff are Arnold's employer. What a crock. "The institute conducted its poll of 2,502 California adult residents...

We've got a conservative assemblyman out here and we are going back and forth on this. I'd like to see legislature saleries tied to the same level as the average teachers salary in the same state. To compensate for the paycut, minimize meeting time, so they can only do a limited amount of...

Hmmm. Just got a note from support at Nero. They DON'T have a raw feature in their software. They suggested www.isobuster.com anyone ever tried it? s

Mayor Daly is supposed to have run Chicago slightly below even Italian corruption standards... :mrgrn: I have hope. Even Barbara Boxer can recognize, and support, the recent socialist decision in Kelo, allowing any city to take your property and condemn it, then give it to a developer, if...

Tannin: "Blaze IS a true story. :eekers: :lol: :excl: Little later in time, and rather then being committed to a mental institution, he'd get the Bill Clinton award. Blaze was much too much of lady to be called a Monica, and, when Long died in 1960, he left 50k to Blaze, who refused to...

PLEASE!!! This is Louisiana :excl: The home of a legal system based on the Napoleonic Code. It' puts property rights over humans, not a shock, considering French History. You trespass, you are fair game, and, this includes police. Despite that, it has very high property crime, last time I...

Hi Anyone know if Nero copies in 'raw mode'? Are you better off using Roxio using 'raw mode' then Nero, for tough to copy disks? Keep in mind, these are cd's, and DVD's, that I legally own, and I'm trying to make a legal copy to protect the original. Thanks gs

I've had no problems with Hypermicro, other then a DOA drive they replaced, ASAP. Also, Seagate has been wonderful to me, and I still have about 98% of their drives, and, they are still working, but, they are all scsi. s

I guess it depends on which Macs you go to. The one in Fremont was using styrfoam cups, and Bloomfield coffee makers, that don't keep coffee under pressure. Keep in mind, that same Macs, about 4 months ago, had a pressure coffee system, as I described above. Also, the one in Pacifica has...

By the way, the holders usually combine a big brewing area, a basket with the coffee in it, and a sprinkler to distribute water. Once brewed, the liquid sits over heat, and a heavy lid is on top of the machine. For the steam to escape, the pressure has to be sufficent to lift the heavy...

Corporate stupidity. Someone probably took a survey of coffee drinkers, and the majority said they like "hot" coffee. Some idiot figured that if 'Hot" is good, scaliding is better. :roll: :roll: :excl: From that, corporate offices probably bought coffee makers, and holders, and...

Jumpster showed me new heights yesterday. She jumped from the floor, to the top of my bathroom door, in persuit of a moth. Catwoman has nothing on this girl. :mrgrn: s

Well, the MW's superheat the liquid, past boiling, by increasing the vibration of the molecules, without disturbing them, unlike an external heat source. When you try and remove it, this changes the position of the molecules, and the molecules are free to vibrate into air, and escape. IIRC...

This is a drive through problem. If you anticipate serving coffee in such a manner, you should provide a proper container, and anticipate that people are going to spill the coffee. If that's the case, then the coffee should not be served at boiling, or very near it, first since coffee is NOT...
