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.

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.
