i bought the ballistix tacer pc4000 ram and it runs pretty good, gonna wait a little while before i overclock anything. and when i do, the first thing i overclock will be my processor. Brandon

soulsaver, i'm gonna get pics up as soon as possible. gotta wait 'til i get home to a digital camera. aratech, i was thinking about starting doing that with my extra comps since most of the time they just sit there. i'll have to see when i get home. and i'm going to game most of the time, along...

yea i just moved up from an 1800+ on a abit kt7a with 512mb of ram. it's going to be my dad's comp, cause he's still using a hp something that's 5 years old, the only thing we've done to it is a new vid card and a processor that still doesn't run at the speed it's supposed to. Brandon

just using the one i had in my old comp. BFG fx5500oc 256mb. Brandon

Got my new mobo and processor in on Tuesday, built it, but waited 'til yesterday when i got a chance to go to office depot and get a 200gig drive for 80 bucks. got it all setup last night and got windows installed. this is kick ass system. couldn't of ever ran farcry on my old comp, but this...

just went and bought one around an hour ago. put it in my new system. it's running pretty good right now. got it split in two partitions for now. Brandon

$7500?? that's a lot of money to blow on a computer. i'd say go dual cvre. i just bought a 3500+ a64. so i'll be good for quite some time. but if you've got that much money, i would definetly say go dual core with sli. but i don't know how much of a performance increase sli is. i think i heard...

hah, i just ordered an xblade case. but it was from some company called JPac. it came busted and i'm not hastling with fedex to send it back through the insurance claim. so i will order yet another new case later at the end of this month. along with some other parts. Brandon

what kind of hardware do you plan on putting in there? Brandon

So, might be installing fedora core 4 tomorrow or tuesday. just wondering what everybody thinks about it. Brandon

i have that case, i just took my server out of it, wouldn't it be a little tough to put a window in it with the case cover being all one piece? there's a mod i guess. cut the case cover so that the other side always stays on and you can just take off the one side. i may do that to mine. also, is...

well, if i getthat 48 bucks back from ups from insurance, i may buy a new psu, or i will be gas money. Brandon

do you actually need two servers? cause if you don't just combine the budget and buy one big system. but i don't know what you need, and it's up to you. Brandon

Well, i ordered my new motherboard and cpu. The MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum along with the AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice Retail box. gonna just use the stock heatsink for a little while until i order the Artic Cooling Freezer 64. also going to order a maxtor diamonmax 10 200gb sata drive later, along...

i don't know when i would mod it, it would probably be a while though. Brandon

you should've just ran the wire when your house was still at the beginning stages like when they have the roof up and the outside on. that way you could've ran like 2 ports to every room and had it done, and it looks like you might want a wireless router to me since you have 4 laptops and 2...

i probably won't ditch my card for now, hell it's only 7 months old. i'll keep it for a little while longer, but i will probably order another 512mb of ram and run 1gig in dual channel. Brandon edit: maybe once i get the money in 6 or 7 months i will upgrade to a 6800, but not for now

wow, i didn't think any game had that much detail for sniping. i'll have to buy joint ops somewhere down the road when i scrape the money together. Brandon

How much ram should I have in my computer to run games for the next couple of years good. i ordered a stick of crucial ballistix 512mb for my new comp that i haven't got all the parts yet. that will be all the ram i have for now, until i get more money or decide to buy more ram. so should i get...

i don't think any game has ever incorporated the drop of a bullet do to gravity. at least i've never seen one that did. but that would be quite a challenge if it did. i know that some older hunting games would require to sight the rifle in, but it still didn't have any drop in it. it's a lot...

everybody has their opinions, i like the case. i may take the xblade things off later, but i'd say for now i'll keep them on there, especially since it's gonna be sitting on my floor where i won't see them all the time, but i may put it on my desk. gotta find the room for it with a desk that has...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811105113 sorry, never thought about putting a link in there, also, for now that psu will have to stay in there cause i'm pretty much draining my money by buying my new comp, have to wait 'til the end of the month to buy my dvd burner, and i...

This isn't really a mod questions, just wanna know what everybody thinks about the a-top xblade case. i've already bought it and it's at my brothers apartment, but just wanted to know what everyone thought of it. Brandon

no, i don't have any reliablity issues, it just sits there and "serves" my files that i kept over there, i tried to get a cd image server working, but couldn't so i just said forget it. probably gonna dedicate it to only music. Brandon

got rh9 running my samba server, just store little stuff over there, getting ready to redo it though. got it running one 18 gig scsi drive right now, gonna add another one and a hard drive for the os and raid the two 18's. don't really need any kind of raid, but what the hell, you got the stuff...

dr k13, what is that little clip from. i know the movie, just can't remember the name of it.

cool looking setup. sometimes them old slot motherboards you got lying around can serve a purpose and you don't even have to buy many new parts for it. got an old slot 1 pII or pIII at like 450-650 serving as my linux server. Brandon

i don't need a new desk but i was thinking about building a cabinet to hold my two servers, my tv an my tv computer (dvd player). Brandon

main: 20 & 40 gig linux: 18gig SCSI server: 80 & 20 gig tv box: 8 gig sister: 2 4 gig, can't remember dad: 14 gig about to upgrade my setup so i'll have a 160gig SATA, then later on the server will have 80 gig on main controller and two 20 gig on raid, they're identical drives, so why not.

also, if i installed mce, could i split the incoming line from the satellite and hook it up to my tv and not need a satellite receiver or would i need a satellite receiver no matter what and then hook the card into that? Brandon

ok, i wanna eventually build a pvr myself to record my directv shows that i can never get around to watching. what are some good parts to use in this? i have some motherboards lying around that could hold a athlon xp processor up to 2.8GHz. would that be a good enough processor if i only went...

msi k8n neo2, 129 bucks from newegg. nforce3, agp, don't know about support for dual cores though. Brandon

cool parts, i'm about to upgrade my computer and the dru-720a is gonna be one of my components, but i don't think i'll have the money for that 'til next month. gotta save some of my money for gas. Brandon

alright, now i just gotta find a place that has it in stock, cause xoxide doesn't and newegg didn't last time i checked. Brandon edit: just found it at jab-tech for 29 bucks, that a lot cheaper than what xoxide had it at, and newegg.!!!

should i get this hs/f over the thermaltake venus 12? Brandon

also for your daily backups. if anybody hasn't said it yet, you need to keep one copy on site and one copy off site for a backup if you have a fire or something. Brandon

extra cables for what? i wouldn't think you would. all the cable you should need should be with all the stuff you're ordering. unless you want th special ones that are uv and glow in the dark. Brandon

nobody's got any opinions?

i've heard 64 bit still lacks in driver support or compatability. and some games don't work. so you might just be better off with standard pro. at least, that's what i would do is go with pro. Brandon

if i were you, i would get a 160gig hdd, at least xp pro if not 64 bit. also, i would look for that case on ebay if you can, you can normally find them for cheaper. but the shipping is a killer. i just bought a case off of there for 10 bucks with 35 bucks shipping and 3 dollars insurance. newegg...
