    Post your workstations 2011

    I LOVE my Anthro Elevate. Yes it cost a small fortune, but as the corvette said, you'll never need another desk again. There may be a nuclear holocaust, but roaches and Anthro desks will remain. The Elevate has motorized telescoping legs. So I can go from sitting to standing in a couple seconds...

    Post Your Workstation 2009!

    Close! SX-626 :D I love it. I'll change it back and forth a couple times a day. And yes, I may replace the speakers, but I will never replace the clickey keyboard!

    Refurbished Dell LCD

    Hey guys, I'm curious if anyone has purchased a refurbished Dell 2007wfp (or any refurbished Dell LCD for that matter) from the Dell Outlet? If so, what were your experiences and how was the LCD once it made it to your door? I can't justify the $400 for a new 2007wfp, but a refurbished one...

    Canon PowerShot S3 IS Digital Camera

    I had an old A40 (2 MP), I think same generation as yours. My wife and I just purchased a Canon Powershot SD600. It's the wee Elph line. It's about 1/3 the size of the old A40, and has an awesome 2.5" LCD. We've only had it for 2 weeks, but it's already a million times better. If you're looking...

    Do I need XP Pro X64 bit edition?

    Woah, simmer down guys. I apologize, I am giving this information 2nd hand and should have said so. I talked in length w/ my father over Xmas break (he's running X2 w/ XP64) and is having at least 1 crash per day. He develops software via .NET and is upping to 64bit, and runs very few other...

    Do I need XP Pro X64 bit edition?

    x64 is too unstable for anything useful (crashes frequently). So unless you're developing 64-bit code, just stick to the standard 32-bit. It's been running just fine on my Athlon64 for 2 years.

    installing xp to sata without floppy drive

    I've had to do the same thing w/ my computer. I hate floppiess and don't want to support antiquated hardware. Here's the tutorial I followed to slipstream drivers in myself. I haven't tried Nlite. http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8892 It's easy to change around the files...

    For open-ended space sim, Privateer beats all.

    What's the best fps game U have played?

    Single player, nothing will beat No One Lives Forever (I and II) in my mind. Hilarious, well plot driven (for an FPS), and LONG (and I enjoyed every minute of it). Multiplayer: when everyone was playing Doom, I was playing Descent (I think it's FPS). And later when I got to college and moved...

    I need suggestions, want to make a moving platform

    A few things we need to know: 1. How much mass do you need to be moving up/down? 2. How much travel do you want? 3. Does it just have 2 positions (top and bottom) or do you want intermediates? 4. Physical area of this platform? As for electronically controlled jacks, shouldn't be too hard...
