  1. Dual Xeon Build

    How much do you currently have invested in this? For me, based on what you are outlining, I just don't see moving forward in a direction such as this as a good idea unless you already have all you need to throw it together. Those CPUs are almost 10 years old, so while you'd likely have good...
  2. Looking at putting in a pool

    I have a simple above ground pool. I believe that, no matter what you do, maintenance will come along. I cannot speak to sand/concrete, but just know that a pool weighs a LOT. The ground must be solid. I assume as long as the concrete is poured correctly, the other parts shouldn't matter...
  3. NFL Football 2016

    Free meaning $100 a month service for 2 years. If you truly go minimalistic with all packages, maybe you can get that down to $50 or so, but there is an upcharge for pretty much everything. DVR/HD/multiple TVs/etc. I rode with it for two years, but it is pretty much a giant waste of money...
  4. Where/how do/did you find a good used car?

    For me, if you wind up looking at certain older cars, it becomes more about finding the one you like the best than finding the best absolute price. My wife and I were interested in a Subaru Tribeca, and had several options to consider. We looked at 2, and one was heads and tails in better...
  5. Buying big house vs a small house

    Me, wife, 3 yo boy, 8 month old boy. 3500 sq ft on 14.5 acres. We're not big on crowds. We've lived in neighborhoods with HOAs and cranky old neighbors, and it simply is not for us. We now live at the end of a rock road. All the neighbors pretty much do their own thing. We might have a get...
  6. Maintenance costs over 10 years by brand

    My aunt may be outside the norm, but most folks I know of who have had them seem to run them for a while. I wouldn't say they're good/great cars, but they're cheap and I believe most of them run GM parts. I realize that's a joke and all, but I am genuinely surprised about the Saturn...
  7. Maintenance costs over 10 years by brand

    The Saturn thing really got me. I guess they're no longer around, so parts are more expensive?
  8. What is the fascination with 12 point sockets???

    I was definitely referring to sockets in my original post. I had misplaced the socket to a set, and the only thing I could seem to find in a bunch of stores were 12 point sockets. I'd had a problem or two in the past with stuck bolts and 12 pt sockets, so I definitely wanted a 6 pt and not a...
  9. Strut noise (thump)

    So, I had a flat tire that I needed fixed and of course they jacked the vehicle up to remove the leaking tire. Ever since that trip, it had been making a thumping sound over certain bumps. It didn't take much for this to happen. Eventually, with the wife with me one day we both felt the...
  10. How do we feel about leather and wood steering wheels?

    I have a wood steering wheel on my RX330. I rather like it. My wife does to. As for hot/cold extremes, it never really bothers me. The car as a whole is either hot or cold. When the air runs a few minutes, it's tolerable.
  11. 2016 NFL draft and offseason thread: is Megatron HOF worthy?

    For real? Irsay suggested shocking... most analysts figured it would be the biggest contract the NFL has yet seen. Honestly, it's not anywhere near as bad as some were expecting. Many were thinking 25/season.
  12. Chevy steel bed vs. Ford aluminum bed

    I've definitely been giving pickups some thought, but that commercial does seems a bit, scary. That said, I can never imagine doing that to a $40k plus truck, let alone without a bed liner. If ever I intend to load a bunch of crap like that into a truck, I'll use my beater that has a value of...
  13. Help a Home Improvement Noob Pick a Drill

    I've got a bunch of different pieces in the Craftsman 12v set. All are very good tools and the batteries hold a charge VERY well. They definitely don't have oodles of power, but for 90% of jobs around the house, they do perfect. The impact driver fits in a great number of spaces that my...
  14. Dollar General Motor Oil Lawsuit

    I guess we'd have to know more about his particular application. If he used the wrong type for his application, he's in the wrong. If he used the right type for his application, in the correct usage parameters (for 3000-5000 miles, less than 6 months, or whatever is required) and it still...
  15. Help a Home Improvement Noob Pick a Drill

    I realize everyone is pimping the 18V+ train, but I did wind up getting a set of 12V Craftsman for odd jobs in tight places and they have plenty of oomf for most jobs. I still reach for bigger drills when I can, but the Craftsman 12V series I have laying around are pretty much always ready for...
  16. How is Amazon for pc parts?

    True on all points. I do feel bad for 'using' Newegg in that way, but prime is simply that much more convenient. It'd be great if Newegg partnered with Amazon on the computer segment... best of both worlds.
  17. Dealership wants me to resign contract

    Curious as to how exactly this would help out the op at all. You first inconvenience the buyer a 2nd/3rd time (depending on how many hoops he jumped through to get the initial deal), and for what? Something that only benefits the dealer? I am sorry, but a good sales guy is a guy who is...
  18. How is Amazon for pc parts?

    Like others have mentioned, amazon is great. Even if Newegg has a better price, I still go with Amazon most of the time simply due to the ease of returns and free return shipping.
  19. Dealership wants me to resign contract

    This for sure. But beyond that, if there is no benefit to the consumer, what is the point of re-signing paperwork. As has already been discussed in this thread, you never know when they might try to slip something in to take advantage of you on something. When you go through the sales...
  20. Dealership wants me to resign contract

    I'd be inclined to agree with you. If you're happy with your deal, leave it. If it doesn't benefit you in any way, I just don't see the point other than them trying to get something in there that they forgot. Rest assured, if you had accidentally paid more than they intended, they wouldn't be...
  21. The cost to watch GoT in canada.

    SlingTV? http://blog.sling.com/features/three-ways-to-watch-game-of-thrones-on-sling-tv/ Does this not work in Canada?
  22. How to secure DIY offsite backup storage? Backups at home and at work

    Sorry op, but 12GB is really minuscule. Home videos shouldn't really require high security, in my mind, unless you're talking a certain type of home video you don't share with the kids... then I could see it being high security. And if you're not creating new content regularly, I don't see how...
  23. Inexpensive directional WiFi antenna

    I'd agree. I have a TPLink router that was nearly as good as a much more expensive Asus router (actually better because the Asus puked a day or two after receiving it).
  24. Why do cheap phones only accept 32gig micro-sd cards as max?

    Yep, looks like an SDXC limitation. I got the wrong subversion there.
  25. Why do cheap phones only accept 32gig micro-sd cards as max?

    I'm assuming they don't support SDHC. I suppose they gotta make them cheap somehow, right?
  26. I bought a GMC Jimmy and a trailer for $450

    I'm with you. That said, that oil looks like it's about halfway through and oil change to me. Not terribly old, but certainly not freshly changed either. Good score op.
  27. Explain hot nannies

    I'd be willing to bet a young girl without experience is far cheaper than an older woman with experience. In general, a young girl who takes care of her self is far more likely to have attractive features than that older woman who has aged with time. Smooth skin, firm body, etc. That's not to...
  28. I overcooked a ribeye =(

    Cooking at certain temperatures and reaching a level of done-ness are two very different topics. One should know the approximate time it takes to reach rare/medium-rare on their grill. If you get a new grill, it may take a few runs to know about when to expect meat to be done. I wouldn't...
  29. I overcooked a ribeye =(

    It's a steak. It ain't rocket science. Figure out your grill, go with the appropriate heat setting and start with 5 minutes a side (or 6, or 7) until you figure out the right timing. If you are more amenable to a rare than a medium to medium-well steak but are looking for medium rare, start...
  30. 4 Men with 4 Very Different Incomes Open Up About the Lives They Can Afford

    Different places means different costs. The value of a home meal improves if the place I am going to is that much more expensive. Simply put, if I can do it just as good or nearly as good as the restaurant, spending upwards of $100 to get the same thing doesn't make a whole lot of sense...
  31. Medium range in demand IT products?

    Having some grasp of networking concepts is likely to be pivotal for making money in IT. Everything is connected to a network, and if it isn't the data is only available on one system which isn't doing anyone any good. Start with Network+ and then work to Cisco. Network+, IMO, is a...
  32. 4 Men with 4 Very Different Incomes Open Up About the Lives They Can Afford

    By and large it is. Especially when you can make it better yourself. For those things you can't do better yourself, eating out may be worth it. Hell, even going out for quality Indian food is more in the category of want and less in the category of need. I don't need properly prepared...
  33. 4 Men with 4 Very Different Incomes Open Up About the Lives They Can Afford

    This is definitely something I've noticed, even with my habits that we've worked to 'overcome.' Steaks for instance... well these at such and such place are 5.99 a lb, but the ones at Costco are 8.99 a lb. Now we start looking at whose quality is consistently better. Costco has some very good...
  34. 4 Men with 4 Very Different Incomes Open Up About the Lives They Can Afford

    You're pretty solid at missing the point. MOST of my meals are cooked at home. MOST != ALL. Good Indian food, I go out for that. Mediocre Indian food, we make at home with jars of sauce from Trader Joes or somewhere else. There are plenty of things we'll go out for, but the majority of...
  35. 4 Men with 4 Very Different Incomes Open Up About the Lives They Can Afford

    This was the one question I had as well. I'd suspect he is unable to get out of his work to go and plug the meter, but at that point, I think I'd be using different transportation especially at that income level. Hell, for those kinds of expenses, you'd think he could find a garage within...
  36. 4 Men with 4 Very Different Incomes Open Up About the Lives They Can Afford

    Organic foods, quality meats, etc are all going to drive up the price (but probably not quite to that extreme). I'd wager a guess though that his 'food' bill also includes wines and such to pair with meals, and if he's buying nicer bottles (probably $30 or more per bottle), that'll quickly add up.
  37. 4 Men with 4 Very Different Incomes Open Up About the Lives They Can Afford

    Pretty much this. And on top of it, better restaurants get what you might ask... MORE money. So now, I get what may be an equivalent steak to my own for $150-200 instead of the $40 or so that'd I'd pay at home. For me, the reality is that buying quality ingredients and cooking at home gives...
  38. 4 Men with 4 Very Different Incomes Open Up About the Lives They Can Afford

    This is a bullshit attitude to have. Some folks have different priorities. It didn't suggest he was just knocking it out with random women and having kids as a result. That may be, but if you give him the benefit of the doubt, kids may have been a priority for him at a younger age. Who...
  39. Medium range in demand IT products?

    Remote management would be something to try. I've seen the results of some remote managed businesses, and apparently it does not take much to get some business. Granted, you'll need some experience in various things, but remote managed offices need IT help and cannot afford a full IT staff...
  40. Advice for building a small virtual server host?

    Rough idea of a good start: PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/M9RBf7 Price breakdown by merchant: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/M9RBf7/by_merchant/ CPU: Intel Core i5-6400T 2.2GHz Quad-Core OEM/Tray Processor ($149.00 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper T2 54.8 CFM Sleeve...
