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.

Interesting

Sorry if I was misleading, the 120mm fan PS is not from Antec, nor is it 550W. But it is pretty darn quiet.

The functions I'd want are as follows: Mapping GPS (including 3-D terrain mapping features using USGS Data) DVD/DIVX playback using car stereo for audio 40+GB of MP3s (with Winamp 5's media library for management) Web/E-mail access via open WiFi and/or cell phone integration. Engine Management...

I drive about 10mi a week on washboard roads, to/from client sites out in the middle of nowhere. My Golf handles them quite well, the ride smoothes out at around 45mph. And I get about 40mpg on our "puny" US gallons :P

Although they look cool, I can only imagine what kind of forces these are putting on the motherboard when stood on end and shaken (moved). I'm picturing a backing-plate sized hone and the whole deal on the floor of the chasis. I do like the design, though.

The trick about the 10-key that I linked to was that it included some additional buttons that make things easier.

This monitor is already touch-screen ;) IIRC, 7" wide is about right...I'll take exact measurements again when I find myself in a car with a measuring tape. My ideal was not to have one that motored in and out, but rather that was fixed in the dash.

Well, these systems will be very well taken care of. And they are far from the dusty floor, I'm bolting them to the wall above the 22" CRT monitor. There is a window in the case that shows off the goodies, and the CCFLs will light it up nice. Considering that there will be one of these machines...

I am still a fan of the Antec PSes, though I recently ordered of of those nifty "silent" ones with the single 120mm fan... I would be inclined to set up Motherboard Monitor 5 to log your voltages (High/Low) at a very high update rate, possibly also the interval log, just to see what's going on...

Except in this case it's showing off an Athon64, a Raptor, and a 9800Pro. Rice? Yes. But powerfull rice ;)

Ahh...home at last ;) Re: Software. I've always used Windows XP, though I'm sure a Linux-guru could make something better. Running at a really low resolution and with limited input device (10-key only) is not something windows does very well. The most basic system I've built had no screen and...

Some people have voiced interest in this topic, and I've dabbled some with it, so I figured I'd start a gathering place for information/discussion. I've used the following hardware with much success: VIA EPIA-M motherboards (both the M10000 (1Ghz) and the 600Mhz fanless) 512MB RAM Assorted HDD...

Well, considering I'm not a Linux guy, I'm glad that smoothwall (and it's dead-easy interface) can do it.

No idea, but it does say it supports PATA and SATA (w/RAID)

Mini-ITX has been my friend for quite a while. I've built a few HTPCs out of them, and quite a few car-PCs. But this raises the bar again... http://www.nanode.com All I can say is...Damn. I could have a cluster of these in the exposed 5.25" drive bays of my current chassis :o

Thanks for the help guys, but I answered my own stupid question.... Smoothwall, go into the networking->port forwarding portion, and enter the external address instead of the internal one. Just tested it, works great.

I'm afraid that program has been removed from their main site, and the download is broken.

Yes, this is exactly what I am looking for! Help?

Exactly what I'm trying to avoid. :( So there is no way to simply redirect the traffic?

A friend had no credit, so he went out and got a credit card and a merchant account (for processing credit card orders). He then continued to "buy" things from himself, to the max of the card on a regular basis, and then use the money in his merchant account to pay off the card. It did cost him...

I'm afraid it needs to be all ports, or at least HTTP and SMTP. I can't affford to be down for a day, and building/maintaining 2 exchange servers is a real PITA. Especially when you need to migrate the data :x

Handruin, I'm afraid not, that is for forwarding traffic though a computer (between NICs) to machines on the other side. These IPs are both out on the internet. Let me try to clarify: I currently have my webserver at IP address 65.254.452.12 on a DSL line in Salinas, CA. I am having a T-1...

In the US it is a very strange system, I think made intentionally more confusing to prevent the consumer from understanding how much they are being screwed. Bad credit - Very easy to achieve, prevents upright financial institutions from working with you, doesn't stop cards/loans with intrest...

I'm sure this is a common situation... I currently have several servers at my current office, many DNS records are pointed to the IP address here. I will be moving all the servers to a new location whose IP is known. In order to avoid downtime while DNS switching/replicating is done, I'd like...

Good to know, thanks ;) I'm really fuzzy on beliefs in this area, so I find it hard to get into (for the reasons mentioned above). I don't want to derail this thread, so when I have more time tonight I'll start another one on this topic and see what I can do to sound insensative, callous, and...

The issue that I've been dealing with is that weaking fully-polarized glasses while looking at a LCD screen will not only change the colors, but make it completely black. With one of my 191Ts rotated 90-degrees CW, it appears to be off when wearing my glasses, and the one to the left of it (not...

Indeed JoJo man, enjoy all those milestones, there's plenty more where they came from ;)

flagreen, Sorry if my post seemed to be directed at you, or implied that your arguments wern't thought out or defended well, this was not my intention. I meerly meant to say that when I post on topics, I do feel a burden of sorts that prevents me from posting on issues. It's not the concern of...

I'll reccomend the Steak, Valium, and a Blowjob while making your 1000th post...... ...hey, sounds like a good time to me :eekers:

A good point, my K8 motherboard (MSI K8T Neo - awesome board) still has 2x PS/2, 1x Serial, and 1x Parallel. I can understand about the floppy, as it's required to load the 3rd party storage controller driver (I've ranted about this in the past). But at least they have 4x USB on the back and...

Well, my opinion tends to piss off everyone anyway. It's not that I don't feel free to post my opinion, but I certainly do brace for the responses. Therefore I do only post on issues that I am ready to argue and defend. My issue is that I'm as against banning assault rifles as I am against...
