Nice Nightwish poster! Oh, and setup. :D

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

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...

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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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.

+1 on teh SSDs. Can't wait for 256GB under $100 :)

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

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. :(

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.

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...

Thank you, will look into that. EDIT: what is GenHard and where do I find it?

Hey everyone. I have dabbled in computers since about three years ago, when I was twelve. I know a fair amount about some things, namely Macs and building PCs, but I have no experience with workstations, servers, and networking. So, I decided to pick up some hardware cheap on Craigslist...

Do you really feel better now that you've posted that? Sure, it's kinda silly, but we thought the entire image of the room, etc might be fun to put on [H]. You're also completely inaccurate. First of all, I don't play games. Second, I'm positive someone else has done this, but it's not as if...

That was a HORRIBLE one. You should be ashamed.

Great cleaning jobs guys! They were nasty but now they look great. Went to the dump yesterday and fished out an old Dell that was so filled with dust that some of it came out when I shook it. I might clean it out. :P

Holy crap, how much does that come out to?

Oh, well, I'd get crackin' on the 6400 rig. :)

:eek::eek::eek: Wait, I thought PETA was a bitch-about-animals organization. What do they do to KILL animals?

Your main rig? IDK, I think older hardware is cool. I am hopefully about to get a dual 900MHz Sun Blade 1000 and a dual 3.06GHz Xeon Dell Precision.

I learned the mouse scrolling thing the hard way, haha. Freaked me out.

You mean without a HSF? Harcore shit man.

It was mainly to get whoever asked why I did it to get off my back. ;) Yeah, I did it for about an hour, but it sure looked cool. I'm flattered you all reply to this thread so much. :)

I'm going to Google what you just said, because that sounds cool. That's EXACTLY why they were there in the first place. hooked up the microphone box to the subwoofer. Yeah, I'm just some stupid redneck with a fourth-grade education hanging out in a mobile home. I don't think "internets"...

Sounds like a good idea. Reworked my setup so I might have to extend some cables.

"Proof-of-concept" is fancy talk for "Huh, where can I put these.... hmmm... oh hahaha, this is kinda cool." I guess I was kind of overeager. I can't mod for shit and I like to tinker so any little thing I do I think is cool. :p:(

It was a driver problem but I fixed it. Had to re-install like 5 times. :)

Agh, I really didn't want to leave the house.... OK then, :D

Oooohhhhhh.... I just got burned. Forgive my sloth, I am an adolescent male who hasn't slept in three days, after all. Fucking 3870X2.

Here's my humble setup.

Coaxial.... I think the reciever is really old. On the back it has: Inputs: --Phono --CD Video: --In Tape-1 --PB --Rec Tape-2/VCR --PB/IN --REC/OUT Pre-out Model: Denon DRA-565RD

MX Revolution. Hands down. Conforms to my hand perfectly. Found one on eBay for $30 and never looked back. Honorable mention goes to my red Kensington ci70.

Here we go. Cleaned up as best I could and put the cathodes in. Specs: -- RF case -- Enermax Galaxy 1000W -- Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 -- Q6600 G0 @ 3.6GHz 1.34V -- Thermaltake Big Typhoon -- 2GB dual-channel DDR3 1333MHz -- 150GB Raptor, 200GB WD IDE HDD -- Visiontek HD3870X2 OC w/quad heatpipe...

Hey guys. My dad has bequeathed to me a pair of enormous old house speakers (probably 30" tall) and a Denon AM/FM stereo reciever. I am trying to figure out how to get these things working with my computer. I have absolutely no idea what to do first. If it helps, my motherboard is a...

Well, just spent quite a while putting my rig in the RF and now need to work on cable management. I will post when it's presentable. Kind of hard to do if you don't own means for drilling holes. :p

Black and white! Genius idea! :D Gives me some plans for my RF....
