    Sorry, the germain tainted my opinion. I took 2 years of it in HS while I was dating a German Au Pair. The only thing I really remember is something along the lines of "It's been too long, come to my house" :mrgrn:

    Ferrite rings...do you use them when you assemble a case?

    Thanks Handurin, though the ones I've seen are usually coated in rubber? Some form of virus protection I'd imagine....;)

    Alright, so you link a PDF doc without warning and 2 web links that don't include pictures? If I didn't know what they were, I'd be sensing a conspiracy throery here...

    Ferrite rings...do you use them when you assemble a case?

    I have the bags from 4 Antec Sonatas, 6 Antec Lanboy Deluxe, and 2 Antec 3U Rackmount Chassis on my bench right now. I don't know what to suggest, as I see nothing that could even be called a ring... The Rackmount chassi did ship woth some wire ties :P

    Do you have a picture of one? I've built about 20 PCs this week, and don't know what you're talking about.

    ?? I've seen them on pre-assembled VGA and DVI cables, but that's it. What application are you thinking of?

    Interesting... To disprove this theory, Merc would have to find out what files would be near the end of the first partiton and test them.

    7.1 lbs vs. 132lbs 1024 x 768 vs. 1280 x 720 $4,400 vs. $5,000 Me? The projector. The lack of DVI makes the decision pretty easy. And with that you can get an extra half-TB worth of storage ;)

    How long do CDRs last?

    Yes, it would cost a (small) fortune. Do you have 200 DVDs worth of vital data? My current total of vital data is about 600MB. This includes past invoices, bids, quickbooks files, resumes, permit applications, etc. It does not include my 80GB MP3 collection, nor my DVDs. I cannot afford to...

    How long do CDRs last?

    If you really want to keep data, keep it "live". Keeping it on 2 different hard drive arrays is the only way to guarantee it's survival. Besides the tendency of all removable media to fail, the "stick it in a drawer and count on it being there later" concept just isn't valid. I keep .ISOs of...

    Building a Storage Server Thread

    From my experience, a single proc with gobs of memory and many spindles is the way to go. I'd take a single 2.8 Ghz Xeon (sweet price point), 3GB of RAM, and 4x73GB@15k RPM. There's a nice DB thread @ SR right now....called "sql". How much load are you expecing?

    LOL, I'm having to revert my primary PC to a Dell Optiplex GX100 w/512MB of RAM and a 400BB. I've been playing too many games, this should fix it... All I have to do is hold out for this sucker :)

    Wow, I didn't know so many people were having issues with Ghost. I've been using it for about 3 years now without issue. Haven't even opened a manual.

    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    I'm considering making a light bazooka over my workbench for this reason. I was looking at the other thread and it's discussion of over-driving bulbs and some of the larger 4-bulb fixtures. My workbench is 3 feet deep and about 8 feet long. It would be an interesting experiment to see how much...

    That is actually a pretty cool gizmo. I'm willing to bet my local fab shop could do something similar cheaper.

    The SCO Debacle

    No kidding. The sad part is that this isn't the first time someone has been screwed by not masking their data correctly. IIRC, a while back on slashdot, they had an article about the govornment releasing a "censored" document where you could "un-censor" it by removing the overlay....stupid.
