Comments:
<0> kosmo: yeah
<1> schitzo: that pretty much bites
<2> wlfshmn: I was looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814125002 orig.
<1> schitzo: well, I do hope you do well.
<1> schitzo: who is giving you the hardest time?
<0> kosmo: my skirt
<1> schitzo: seriously? Id figure someone must be giving you hell, since you are occasionally known to be fast ;)
<0> kosmo: well. I did ok at Tally. Jennings was suspension problems, so we put a lighter rear spring on the shock. Something about losing 20 pounds between last season and this season
<0> kosmo: then Autobahn was a new track, a **** track and it rained the entire time
<0> kosmo: we'll see what happens out at Miller, since it's a new track for everyone.
<0> kosmo: then a t CJ I at least know Road ATL
<1> schitzo: Autobahn ****s?
<1> schitzo: good luck all the same (and good deal on losing weight!)
<1> lord knows I would like to lose about 30 pounds
<0> kosmo: yeah, autobahn ****s. at least the north track. the south track supposedly is better.
<1> schitzo: bad layout? boring layout? too technical?
<0> kosmo: bumpy and sealer in all the wrong places. like the corners
<1> schitzo: ****.
<1> schitzo: sounds ... greasy
<0> yeah, to say the least.
<2> wlfshmn: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127210 <-- Think that'd be good for most games? I could always drop in a szecond for SLI in the future (with a bigger PS since the case i'm getting only has a 420w
<3> looks good, IMO
<3> j00 need beefier power supply
<2> Meh.
<3> recommended 550W
<2> Any suggestions for a case w/ a reasonable PW?
<3> but the price is quite good
<2> dogbert2: 550 for SLI, not for single, right?
<3> you don't have a Fry's nearby, right?
<3> yeah, for SLI...
<4> Falchion: Asus has a fanless model of the 7600GS
<2> Fry's heh no
<2> wlfshmn: There are a number of companies that do
<2> This is the card I was gonan get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814125002
<4> Falchion: That far up, I've only seen asus boards actually
<2> wlf http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?DEPA=0&type=&Description=7600GS&Submit=ENE&Ntk=all&N=0&minPrice=&maxPrice=&Go.x=14&Go.y=36
<2> bunch of them
<3> I liked the nVidia
<2> hmm
<2> Which?
<3> the first one, with the 420/550W recommendations
<2> Actualy, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130004 looks decent. Cheap too, which means more money for a case with a good PS. Hmm
<3> did you check eghey, perhaps?
<3> that looks good too
<2> dogbert2: Um, I don't know which Nvidia one you mean. You talking about http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127210?
<2> Ebay? Hmm.
<2> I just need to find an inexpensive case with large PS.
<3> well, the last link you posted was good, plus it's ready for Vista (when released)
<4> Falchion: yeah. I see both a 450 and a 500 core model fanless there.. but the 500 core one's comment seem to indicate it beeing doubltfull if it should be fanless ;)
<4> Falchion: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814125028
<4> Falchion: that actually looks like it could be something.. but I'll probably get a pair of these in the end: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814121007
<2> Why would i want a fanless one?
<3> http://cgi.ebay.com/ATX-Mid-Gamer-Matrix-702-BLUE-LED-Computer-PC-Case-450W_W0QQitemZ6888541806QQihZ013QQcategoryZ51062QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem (nice case) :)
<4> had it been dual dvi it would have been optimal.. but then again, IIRC, cards turn single-monitor when in SLI-mode IIRC
<4> Falchion: I want my components to be p***ive, and any active cooling, beyond the CPU I suppose, in the case
<3> of course, it's $40 to ship the damn thing, so total cost would be about $50 or so :)
<4> dogbert2: A case with a window in the side will enter my home over my dead body
<4> dogbert2: and even then , Iexpect I'll stay behind to haunt the place
<2> dogbert2: Nice :)
<3> wlfshmn...I have a case like that, it's nice :)
<2> dogbert2: You rock.
<3> I have a fry's here, I should look at some cases
<3> another one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ATX-Mid-Tower-Black-Computer-PC-Case-Steel-DEMON-450W_W0QQitemZ6888541936QQihZ013QQcategoryZ80168QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
<4> dogbert2: shipps to "USA ONLY", "HI, AK NOT ACCEPTABLE" ;)
<3> where is falchion?
<4> dogbert2: guess you are back down to 48 states in the USA ;)
<4> I envision him as somewhere near NY, but I don't honestly -know-
<2> So, my SLI ATX MB is $100, 512M Geforce 7600GS 512MB GDDR2 vid card is $147, $76 for 1 gb ram, $135 for an Athlon 64 3200+ CPU. Plus case for $50. Take my HDD from my server and use that, buy a DVI-HDMI cable for $25 at walmart and tada, cheap system.
<2> dogbert2: NH
<4> dyndns is in NH..
<4> ah
<4> that reminds me, I need to get a new harddrive for the backups soon
<3> I saw a athlon-64 mb/cpu combo in a frys thingy for about $210 the other day
<2> So, a gaming rig that should run sweet for under $600
<2> dogbert2: Oh?
<3> yeah, i'd hafta go look...
<2> At least with the MB I picked I can drop in a second vid card for SLI at any time.
<4> Falchion: make sure when you get ram that you check if your card supports dual-channel, and in that case, get 2x512 instead of 1x1024
<2> wlfshmn: my card? What card?
<4> Falchion: the mainboard
<4> Falchion: the specs should say, otherwise on for example asus boards, two sockets are colored blue and the rest black, then the blue ones are dual-channel sockets
<4> Falchion: it will work either way, but it will work a little faster in dual-channel mode ;)
<2> Wonder if I can buy a better MB for about the same. Hmmmmm. Be go browse
<2> me go even
<4> Falchion: I seem to end up in the 200$ range for mainboards ;)
<2> wlfshmn: heh
<3> http://shop1.outpost.com/product/4769769?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG ($159)
<3> check that one out, falchion
<4> Falchion: 239.99$ seems to be the price for the one I poked at last from newegg ;)
<4> Ka-bar: nad indeed, it's AM2 I'm poking at ;)
<3> wlfshmn...did you check out that combo deal for $159?
<5> hei there, I've installed pptp client in mandrake 10.1, and when I wnt to connect I get this error: MPPE required, but MS-CHAP[v2] auth not performed. Anyone could tell me what to do?
<4> dogbert2: hm? no?
<4> dogbert2: I won't actually be buying form newegg anyway
<3> that is something falchion might be interested in
<4> yeah.. am2 mainboards are in short enough supply to still carry a premium though, and good PC6400 sure costs a few extra pennies
<3> nodz
<6> gruia_g: good luck.
<2> dogbert2: Sorry, was insulting my boss. Back now and looking at the link'
<2> Hmm. Doesn't have SLI though
<3> it's one of those specials they run in the flyers in the newspaper
<3> well, you'll hafta spend more to get that...
<2> hehe
<4> dogbert2: my father mentioned a new computer for me anyway, and we'll see if I can leech him for an AM2 platform with a 5000+ x2, 2GB DDR2, and a pair of 7600GS cards
<2> Still though... $159 for MB and CPU... Can't beat that with a stick since that's what the CPU alone would cost, almost.
<4> hehe
<3> yeah, no kidding...
<4> my friend bought an old saab 9000 ('92) last week. today it got stolen ;)
<3> gah...not nice
<2> Hmmmm. So $210 for CPU, MB and case. Geez. All I'd need after is ram and vid card :)
<3> you gonna order that one from frys?
<2> dogbert2: Any specials on vid cards you've seen? :)
<2> I think so.
<3> lemme look
<4> Falchion: I'm poking at a 5000+. the cpu alone is like 800$
<4> Falchion: I naturally wouldn't be poking at it if I was paying for it myself :)
<2> heheheh that's frickin' expensive
<7> wlfshmn: was it an Aero, or a Turbo?
<3> http://shop1.outpost.com/search?search_type=regular&sqxts=1&query_string=Video+Cards&cat=0
<4> whyzzyrd: no idea
<3> they have those listed there
<4> he cleaned it both outside and in yesturday
<4> whyzzyrd: the turbo itself you mean? they do require a bit extra care
<7> No, they warp cylinder heads like no tomorrow.
<4> my brothers turbo decided to call it quits a few years ago
<4> that was unfun
<2> dogbert2: http://shop1.outpost.com/product/4858640?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
<3> not bad
<4> Falchion: well, that will be hard to beat
<2> heh
<2> Uh, why is there no Memory option in the menu on outpost? WTF. grrr
<3> what, MB memory?
<4> Falchion: there is a separate harddrive/memory tab
<3> pffft...Symantec has a rebate offer in every store I go to for NAV, but the rebate is expired...time to call symantec
<2> Oh. Doh
<3> well, yeah, it's weak they advertise a $20 rebate, and the thing is expired
<2> So, MB, CPU, Vid cazrd and 1gb Ram for 365. Case for $50 on ebay. Geezus that's cheap, huh?
<3> hehehe...
<2> Toss in my HDD and a cable and I should be good to go.
<8> well, downloading the latest Knoppix DVD image sure shows you the quality of some ftp clients. Downloaded to an xfs filesystem; ncftp crashes with "file size error", KBear (KDE ftp client) now thinks it downloaded 16.777.216,0TB... Whats next? ;P
<2> ****, might have to wait until friday though.
<3> well, that stuff might not be on special next week, but you can always check
<2> Yeah :/ Damnit all to hell.
<2> i KNEW I shouldn't have lent money to my buddy. That ****er.
<3> but check again next week, they always have specials
<2> I should order the MB/Cpu at least.
