Alternative OSes for IBM hardware. Any suggestions?

Hey, all. I'm trying to find an alternative OS to use on an IBM eServer we have sitting derelict in our server room. Last year we moved our Production software to a new Power6 server which left the previous Power5 box unused. While we have an AIX license for the machine, its a somewhat custom...

3 Cases (72 bottles) of Headshot Energy Shot for $30 total

I've received 2 shipments of this stuff and only paid for one. The 2nd shipment was lagniappe, I guess. It's not bad stuff. Not the strongest energy drink I've ever had, but it keeps me alert and awake when I drink one or two. About like a semi-strong cuppa'joe with lots of sugar, but...

Got a 2nd shipment as well. Shipping error, possibly? Or maybe they aren't getting rid of the mismarked ones as quick as they hoped and decided to ship to previous buyers? Then again, maybe its just a shipping screw-up? Who knows...

I think you are being ambiguous regarding the flavor when comparing it to ass. Are we talking a "Megan Fox" quality ass, or the posterior end of a dead ass?

Wow, I popped in to remark that these were back in stock (after I ordered one, of course). Went to double-check the OP's link just to be on the safe side... and they are OOS yet again! Oh, well... Got my order in!

Dammit! Caught off guard again by Hot Deals wicked left hook... and my wallet's down for the count again. I'm in for one. My 8800gts is getting long in the tooth and giving me trouble with my dual monitor setup, so I suppose its about time to make this buy.

This is just a suggestion, but you might want to take a look at the "LCD Guide" Thread here on Anandtech. It has some very good information on LCD monitors. See the link below for the thread... LCD Guide

Rocketfish Full Tower Case (similar to LianLi PC-A71B)

I picked one of these up at my local BB for $47.99. They had one left at the time (Shreveport, LA). I must admit, though, that I didn't realize just how BIG this SOB is. I'm currently running an Antec P180, but this thing dwarfs it! I am gonna give it a try. Don't know that I will keep it, but...

ASUS A8N32-SLi onboard LEd is flashing...?

I came in to boot my PC this afternoon and got nothing. The only sign that there was power to the PC was the flashing LED. When I cracked the case I saw the onboard LED blinking. After looking through my manual and checking the manual online via ASUS' site, I can't find any reason why the LED...

Word of Warning About 7900GTO

Best bang for the buck...which X2 to pick up?

Well, I finally decided to go with a 4400. Seems to be a pretty nice chip, but I haven't touched the OCing yet... Thanks for all the advice, guys. I'll let you know how it OCs.

Best bang for the buck...which X2 to pick up?

Yeah, I thought about the Conroe route, but it is too much of an investent to pick up the new mobo and memory right now, especially as both companies are planning on having quad cores at least demoed by the end of the year. I already have the 939 system base, so its a much cheaper upgrade for me...

Best bang for the buck...which X2 to pick up?

Yep, the prices keep rising, but I suppose people are still buying or the prices would at least stay steady. I hope the 4600 doesn't get too high before tomorrow morning so I can pick one up for my workstation... and, more importantly, my home rig. Hopefully this supply and demand crap will slow...

Thanks for the info, guys. I am thinking on getting the 4200 or 4600 and maybe playing with the OC a little bit. I mainly want something that speeds up my present box and keeps me in the game until the quad cores debut later this or next year. Then, if I see a big enough jump in performance, I...

(Ok, ok I know...posts like this pop up entirely too much! But I HAD to ask...) I am looking at upgrading my AMD processor due to the recent AMD price cuts. The fact that I have too much invested in my current 939 box cuts out looking at Conroe. What I want to know is which X2 cpu will offer...

Hey, I just came across this price. Tankguys.biz has the X2 3800+ for $335, but it is backordered. The deal is only good for in stock orders. This deal might have been posted earlier, but I didn't find it in a search. Just thought I would mention it. BTW, model # is ADA3800BVBOX if that helps.
