    Are we deserving of our wealth?

    If you are living beyond your means and have such things it is on thing. If you manage your money well and can AFFORD a new car, a big house, and all the creature comforts, by all means you deserve them.

    Is it possible to combine XP setup discs onto a single DVD-R?

    The core files are essentially the same. All you need is on copy and a reference to them for each OS install. There are some warez DVDs floating around that include every version of windows on a pair of DVDs (Called something like Windows All-In-One DVDs). I use these at work since I have some...

    Why the step back to LCD's?

    ExpertNovice -- "There is "footprint" and useable space. Are you really storing items behind your current monitor? The width does save you about 2" and if that is 30% of your desktop area you have bigger problems!" Yes, I store my rig behind the LCD now. This allows me to have monitors and...

    Best place to order blank DVD media?

    BB, CC, OfficeX, Staples... just check your Sunday paper and you will see at least one of them with a good deal. When you see some top rated media, just get a few spindles and keep them for the future. I like to keep 100 at all times just incase there are no sales for a week or 2 (or im too busy...

    Best Upgrade path

    the only downside i see to getting a 6600, is that you would have to get an AGP one. THis could prove to be nothing if you get a whole new system in a year or so (including video card), or it could be bad if you decide to jump on a new mobo/cpu that uses pci-e. If you are planning to run this...

    That tears it. No new comp for me.

    I like the upgrade every 2 years path. Last time I upgraded I saved my change in a jar for about 2 years, and when it was time to upgrade I basically had all the cash I needed without having to spend from my bank account. I think this works out really well, especially for those on a budget. I...

    .................Need a XP 'SysPrep' like tool, for Apps

    I will assume that since you are getting them all at once, they are identical in hardware. If this is the case the image would be an easy solution. With a standard ghost, you might need to set up network IDs by hand, but that isn't even really time consuming. If you have a ghostcast server I...

    What OS can I run on an 80MB drive?

    i'd spring for a <10gb hdd... im sure one can be had for like 10usd. THat is if that old lappy takes 3.5", a 2.5" might be more than a couple of bucks.

    New rackmount case, narrowed to 2

    I am finally taking the plunge so to speak, and moving my computers onto a rack. To start this off I am going to put my new a64 rig on the rack first. The machine is: Asus a8n sli deluxe 3000+ Winnie 6600GT 1GB corsair Value (replacing with OCZ when i order case) XP-90 I plan to OC...

    Thin clients ... more info and practic use for them

    You set them up to connect to a terminal server. Basically they are a PC, but with just the bare essentials to get KVM feedback from the terminal server. As for benefits, you can have one "beefy" term server running tons of these thin clients. They are much cheaper than actually buying full blow...

    Internal debate... W2k or XP?

    I made the jump to XP pretty early and have never regretted it. If you are setting this up for a HTPC, you might want to look into some of the linux based solutions like MythTV. I have no experience with MCE, so can offer no opinion there.

    Not using native res on Dell 2001FP - how bad for games?

    Wait for Dell to run some of its discounts and stack on some coupon codes... The 2001FP can be had for about 400-450USD pretty regularly. I got one for 560USD quite a few months back, I love it to death!

    Venice and Winchester...Whats the difference?

    I would try to hold out for a San Diego. Get a 3700+ and it will have 1MB cache, supposedly these OC just as good as the Venice cores. I wouldn't wait on dual core if you want to upgrade in the near future and are on any kind of budget.

    PCIe Raid 5 cards?

    Newegg has that BC i linked in my first post for 370, and a http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16816116028 (3ware 9500s) for 430. I know the BC does what I want, I just figured maybe I could get something a little cheaper that wasnt PCI-X. I will probably just get the BC for 370...

    PCIe Raid 5 cards?

    I glanced at this and it seems pretty nice, too bad the 8 port one is about 700+USD... @MartinCracauer The highpoint looks to be pretty decent, but I can't find it if has online expansion. This is pretty important as I willl start with 3 HDDs and expand as needed. This would translate...

    PCIe Raid 5 cards?

    Yeah more I think about it the 4852 would go to waste as you say on a PCI slot... I already got the Asus mobo and everything esle for the rig, so I dont want to replace anything. Any suggestions on what I could get in terms of a standard PCI raid 5 card? I hear these mentioned in other...

    PCIe Raid 5 cards?

    I just built a new rig with an ASUS A8N sli deluxe as the mobo. I have been looking into getting a cheapish raid 5 card for a few months, but now I realized that I cant find any PCIe ones. This would be used for a home file server (basically movies, music, etc) Oh and I would like 8 SATA...

    What's your hard disk life like?

    Had my first drive fail on me a few weeks ago. It was a 40GB 5400RPM Western Digital. Actually it isn't even completely dead yet, but SMART tells me it is about to die, and it makes all kinda noise. I backed it up and used it as an excuse to build a new a64 rig. :P

    How big a partition for WinXP?

    20GB here, it leaves enough room to install some big games and apps. Plus with a 200GB drive you still should have ample room (180GB) for your data. With HDDs as cheap as they are now-a-days, I use a second HDD for my data and a dedicated one for the OS and programs. If you could get a 36GB...

    Return Home to Vana'diel!

    Excellent logic, I wish more companies thought this way. Would have saved me hundreds of dollars buying games (MMOs) that I only played for a month or 2. I would try all the new ones if I got a month free and the initial outlay on software was like 10USD, not 50USD.

I would like to set up an ad hoc network so the two devices can communicate wirelessly on the road without the need for an AP. I fumbled around for some time and though I had it when setting up a...

    Return Home to Vana'diel!

    Yeah the MMO fees are a little high, but i think with more competition they might come down. That isn't to say you'll see free MMOs with good content additions anytime soon, the cost to keep something like EQ2 or WoW running is absolutely absurd. I happily paid for EQ1 for MANY years, and am...

    PC only powering on 3rd or 4th try (usually randomly)

    I am having a similar problem now with one of my rigs. Mine will turn on, load into windows (takes 5 minutes though), and then reboot right after you login. It didn't really bother me as I never shut it down so didn't have to deal with it, but now it is rebooting randomly. I swapped PSU also and...

    PDA recommendations

    I agree with the above posts about waiting for Dell to run a deal and get an x30 or x50(v). I got my x50v a few weeks ago and it was only ~400 shipped. I know you could get a lesser model and stay within your price range.

    If Intel began making CPU's a stronger then AMD CPU's for a tad bit more $, would u buy intel cpu's then?

    Price : Performance is where it is all at for me. For a "budget" rig the 2.4c I got and OC'd to 3.3 on stock air can't be beat for the price.

    LCD / CRT

    I have to say stick with the CRTs just for the price/performance. Size and weight are a nonissue for me considering my monitor is up against a wall anyway. What would a few inches of free space behind and LCD do for me really?
