    Hope to open Lan Center have Hardware questions

    Well, without a budget, I'd reccomend the following. 3 Dell PowerConnect 2324 24 port 10/100 switches with dual Gigabit Uplinks $99 each after $50 MIR. Then I'd hook those into a Dell PowerConnect 2608 8 port GigE switch $109 after $50 MIR. Run 100BaseTX to all the clients, evenly...

    Toshiba v. Emachines

    I've used a good number of laptops in the past year (top of the line, brand new laptops from Dell, Gateway, IBM, and Toshiba) at work. I also own the eMachines m6805. Which do I like most? The eMachines. Its solid, well built, performs like a champ, had traveled around the world with me in the...

    I ran into Kyles favorite brand of HD today!

    Hey, don't knock the DeathStar. I've got one in this rig that has been going strong since they came out. Its a 30Gig 75GXP, and has out lasted a WD 800JB and a Seagate 7200.7 that both died in this box.

    Moving Sale, and things are priced to move

    The only difference between the 9500Pro and 9700 is memory bus BW (128bit vs 256 bit), but the share the same 8 pipeline core. The vanillia 9500 np has a 4 pipeline core with 128 bit memory bus. So through OCing the 9500Pro can just about reach the levels of a stock 9700, but the 9500np is cripled.

    Moving Sale, and things are priced to move

    I can get pics up in the morning, just turned on my camera, got the little blinking battery warning, then it went dead, so they're on the charger now. Specs and a bad pic of the NIC can be found here , and the ram is a matched pair of Kingston with the blue heat spreaders. But like I said, pics...

    Moving Sale, and things are priced to move

    Yup, I'm moving to Korea in a couple weeks and sadly, I won't be able to move my main rig with me. Since it would be a pitty to leave it sitting here un-used, my loss is your gain. All prices include shipping USPS Priority, and I prefer PayPal since I'm not going to be around my apartment to...

    M6805 power requirements?

    I have a 90W cyberpower and it does the job fine. Oh, and I noticed something funny at BestBuy when I bought it. On one end of the aisle with laptop accessories that had a 90W inverter from Targus for ~$65 i think. On the other end, the exact same (and I mean exactly the same) 90W inverter, but...

    Comcast 3mbit

    The standard (3M/192K) package is $55/mo ($40/mo if you subscribe to cable). The premium (4M/384K) package is $95/mo ($80/mo if you subscribe to cable). Basic cable is about $13/mo so you only really get a $2 discount if you subscribe to both, but I don't own a TV so I pay full price. Is it...

    When Kittens Attack

    This is reason number 1 why my wife's cat (and my wife for that matter) aren't allowed in my office near my PCs. Of course I do leave my laptop in the bedroom, and the cat loves to sleep on it for warmth. Sucks that that little furball of doom killed your rig though.
