twin 81G s ?? Just what are you planning to store on those? sounds real nice I love those slot loading DVD's I don't know how many times I've snagged my open CD drawer...I'm surprised it can still close.

 

[chess9]

Even I know that is a wonderful system. I covet the Plextor, but way too pricey for the small number of copies I make per year.

I think I hear my PII 400 sobbing under the throaty whisper of the cooling fan. This will be a hard night, holding my computer's power supply in my supple hands, massaging it's many plugs........oops.

 

[SexEPid]

Closest I have to that is my Pioneer 10X Slot Loader
Awesome system!

ultravox,

HeHe. It's not for me. It's for a customer that will be doing audio/video editing. I just have the fun of building it.

Russ, NCNE

 

[Ulfwald]

damn Russ, What's a system like that cost?

 

[ultravox]

Russ you definitly should road-test it for a month just to make sure it doesn't crash. ....

Now tell me that plextor is a scsi and I'll faint.

 

[ForeverSilky]

Damn.... imgaine all the divx rips you could fit on there.

 

[Mday]

should use RAID or there will be dropped frames. that's why SCSI drives are used. RAID 0 should be enough.

i am not kidding russ.

how much money did ya make on that machine?

 

[BoberFett]

My thoughts exactly ulfwald.

What's the price tag on that? Is that your box or a customer order?

 

[Zedfu]

holly sh....the mother of all!

 

[Impact55]

OT: congrats on Elite Bober I still remember that PM you sent me thinking I was Anti-American.

 

[Mday]

256 MB of RAM is not actually enough.

 

[wjones]

The only thing matches with my 2 years old system -> Mitsumi floppy

 

[cobain]

Mday is right SCSI would be far more upto the task.

 

[Killbat]

I admire you, Russ. I simply couldn't handle building something like that. If I managed to get the thing together and booting without passing out from the awesome potential power, I would probably grab the thing up and disappear into Mexico...

 

[Russ]

SCSI and more RAM would have been nice, but he had a budget within which he had to work. As it is, he's going to have to get something REALLY nice for his wife if he doesn't want to be sleeping on the couch.

Russ, NCNE

 

[Pretender]

Russ: make sure you install the "system stability ensuring" program on it...it's the one with the cow and all 'dem purty numbers.

 

[BoberFett]

It is cracking right now, isn't it?


ISN'T IT?


Oh, and thanks Impact55. I guess the Wacky Mod must be on duty today.

[compuwiz1]

That TBird will probably do 1200-1300MHz. I just had one at 1388 today until my stupidity cause me to burn it up.
