    iPod/iPhone questions

    Oh yeah, you can just plug it into iTunes and restore with the latest firmware no problem.

    Trying for a cheap complete i7 build.

    I understand what you're saying. See, the thing is, I AM still a kid, meaning I am only doing this because it's fun. I like to take things apart, tinker, etc, and I have been tinkering with the same parts for months and months. I want to get my hands on some new hardware. I don't really...

    Trying for a cheap complete i7 build.

    I honestly don't understand how your seniority gives you free rein to be a complete douchebag. Fixed that for you. How am I doing that? It seems to me like a lot of people on here like to have the latest parts. I am blessed with disposable income, and I intend to use it. Just because I'm...

    Trying for a cheap complete i7 build.

    Well, it's either I do this or I buy a bike. Car later... I live 3 hours away from where it's stored and I can't just mosey on down there to work on it whenever I want.

    Trying for a cheap complete i7 build.

    Yeah, I know the car would technically be a better investment, but I'm gonna need a job just to pay for the gas.... Here she is. http://www.carforums.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=10016 Anyway, yeah, I might go with the Phenom build. Never done AMD before. We'll see.

    Trying for a cheap complete i7 build.

    Well, see, I don't play games enough to buy them. If I have a burning desire to play one I just download the demo. Games are about 4% of what I do. Now, I will get a job at a grocery store later this summer. I will use the $$$ from that to help get a certification (and get my car running). I...

    Trying for a cheap complete i7 build.

    Oh, believe me, I know that. I am 15 and don't need it in the slightest but... what the hell, I can afford it, don't have anything better to do, why not try i7 out? Thanks for your replies, guys, unfortunately can't be on constantly.... banned from my laptop... haha. That $875 build looks...

    Trying for a cheap complete i7 build.

    Hey everyone, Here we go..... 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Probably not a ton of intensive stuff, but I really want to go i7 if possible. Web browsing, listening to music, the odd racing game, POSSIBLY Linux in VMs, etc. Starting a business...

    Just got this free server from work, usable?

    Wait a minute, what motherboard spec do these things use? I have a dual P4 Xeon 1U server that's wayyyy too loud and I'd like to shove it in a normal case.

    Q6600 Temp

    Those are really high temps for idle. Try reseating it first. If they don't drop, then yeah, you need a new HSF.

    Picked up Precision 650 and IBM xSeries 335 server - putting them to good use?

    Ugh. I found 2.5GB of PC2100 that the Dell refuses to use. It should work but I guess it just doesn't like these sticks. :(

    Picked up Precision 650 and IBM xSeries 335 server - putting them to good use?

    Sorry about that, forgot about the price check thingy. As far as the bike.... no, my parents would kill me. I need a new downhill race bike. Sold mine to pay for the jesus box. Xeons are 3.06GHz. SSE2 and Hyperthreading. Gallatin.

    Picked up Precision 650 and IBM xSeries 335 server - putting them to good use?

    Whoops... found it. I am actually considering making it my main machine for about a month. Dual 3.06GHz Xeons. 2.5GB RAM. Can it handle my use? I know what I'm doing but I don't render or play games or anything. I'm considering selling the Q6600 rig and buying a new bike, then, with the extra...
