Alright, a little update. I had to scrap the P4, it couldn't handle multiple ESPN3 streams. I ended up using my work M4600 laptop and another spare Latitude I had. Anyways here is what it looked like at the end.

Things I learned last night... My old gaming rig sucks compared to my Precision M4600 laptop. My wife sole the nice monitor and gave me the one that is very warm in color. And thats about it. It was the first time I had turned on my old computer since 2008 and amazingly everything fired up...

So I got this grand idea to attempt to build the perfect bowl game setup in my basement this holiday season. My wife has given me a $200 limit to do this. Equipment I already have: (1) Dell 2405WFP monitor (1) Sharp 32" 720p TV (1) Circa 2005 gaming rig (1) Unfinished 800 sq basement at...

I can't keep doing this, a few days ago I got a couple games for under $10 now I have a total of $25 in my basket who knows what tomorrow will be.... I think this is their plan.

I have a Dell laptop hooked up via HDMI to a Phillips tv in my office and I cannot for the life of me get the audio to work. When I move the laptop to a different tv it works fine, also when I hook something else up via HDMI to that Phillips tv it works fine. I have tried paying around with...

Very true. I was actually surprised that I was able to setup the DD-WRT router to be a client bridge in the first place because according to the FAQ page my firmware release breaks that support. Anyways I got it all setup and running, now I am just tweaking the QOS classifications for the...

Long and the short of it is I use to have a Netgear N router and I bricked it (it sucked anyways). So I am back to two Linksys WRT-54G's (One is a V1 the other is a V5). My primary router (the V1) is running Tomato firmware, the second that is going to be the bridge (the V5) is running DD-WRT...

What about just windows key + L? I use it all the time when I walk away from my computer.

I am finally setting up my home office again and have a Dell 2405FPW that I use to use and would like to again but since it does not match anything Dell currently has (as far as esthetics's are concerned) I am going to be looking on ebay for possibly a 17inch monitor to have in portrait mode...

Thats what I figured but for some reason I thought it was a 4 speed, and it was bouncing off of I think 7,000 RPMS almost like a governor. Anyways it was strange especially with that red light flashing too.

Sorry guys for this stupid question but I just picked up GT4 again last night after not paying for about 5 months or so. Anyways I am trying to get a car that fit a few criteria for upcoming races and settled on a Mustang Mack 1 from 1971. Anyways on the first race it will not shift out of 3rd...

The end of the line for me with Comcast was when I was paying for the top package had all the movie channels and what not and the fastest internet and was playing around $200 a month and one day I had some issue where I couldn't get ESPN anymore so I call up tech support and after a 4 hour go...

Well thought I would give everyone an update. I did the rest of the job this weekend. He picked up a Dell Inspiron desktop that had a Core 2 Duo with 6 gigs of ram. I would have preferred Win7Pro but they got Home Premium, I got all the important documents copied over to the "server" setup all...

The reason that I would like to have a server (actually just a decently spec'ed workstation) is in-case this happens again the workstations would pretty much be plug and play with the server (just add the shares and go). What we are trying to do is get away from what we had before. Also the...

I would agree with you about the specs for the server, but look at the damn Avimark hardware requirements.. http://www.avimark.net/gtka/hardware-requirements Crazy! BTW that program WAS running on a 1 Ghz computer with 512mb of RAM... As for the internet, they have had problems with...
