CattleGod: Why do parents name their child any name? Because they like the way it sounds.

Qosis: nice pic.. Thanks for the submission -- please check out our site in a couple of weeks.

is this like "hot or not" but for computers? if so, that's pretty lame.

I like your Idea. Now lets see how well you can execute it

I see nothing lame about it. If you like cars, go to car site. If you like naked girls, go to a porn site. Nothing hard about it.

 

[merlink]

Thank you guys for the support (you know who you are)

For those of you who think it's stupid: The site hasn't even opened yet -- and you obviously aren't going to be visiters/participants anyway -- so please stay out of my thread as well

If you have constructive comments/questions, then by all means, please pipe up.

I think there is certainly an audience who supports this idea, and for those of you opposing it, you are directly insulting their desire to participate -- you wasting time replying to something that is of no interest of you is stupider than the idea of the site itself (no matter how stupid it may be).

The site will open, there is no question to that. (Give me about 2 weeks)

for the record, i meant to express support of the site. there is already a hotornot, i think one for computers is a clever idea

Actually, if you like naked girls and go to a porn site I can imagine something being hard about it

Are subwoofers shielded?

Nasty cable jobs guys. You might lose a pet in there.

Got thirty-odd computers running out here, but the two that I'm typing at right now include Roo, which is a dual liquid-cooled 2.66GHz Xeons, Supermicro XDAL-G mainboard, 2GB memory--should probably bump that up a bit--a 160GB boot drive, and eight 250GB drives in the main array running off of a Broadcom Raidcore PCI-X SATA raid controller. When I took this picture it had just 9800SE video card in it, but I've since switched that out for a Quadro 950XGL. Yeah, it's not the neatest cabling job either.


Kanga, is a little neater in the cabling department, but it's also more modest. It's liquid-cooled as well and has 2GB of memory, but it's a single 3GHz P4, has just 160 and 250 gig drives, and a Matrox P650 video card (fanless and dual-DVI; I wanted quiet more than I wanted the fastest on the block).

Both of them have all their DVD burners, floppy drives, DLT drives, and DAT drives in external cases, either SCSI or USB. That way I don't have to put the machines themselves within easy reach.

Oh, yeah, I've also got a couple of laptops running next to me and a 3GHz P4 865-based machine with a couple of DVD burners in it that I'm using to duplicate DVDs at the moment.

Not state of the art, I admit, but I've had 'em for a while.

And what bank did you rob?

Never done that, actually. Most often, I end up being an evil overlord bent on world domination, though last week I was an evil record company executive (presuming that's not redundant). Before that, recently I've been an airline captain, a Viking ship captain, a pirate captain (hmmmm...seems like a trend here), and a couple of miscellaneous terrorist and or psycho types. Never a bank robber or, now that I think of it, a robber of any kind so far. It's possible I might wind up as a wild west gunslinger in the next two or three weeks...could be some bank robbing going on there, but I don't have all the details yet.

Agreed and same here. My rig is nothing special. A few months ago it was hot stuff, though.
