SLI is retarded, and always will be. :P ... A big part of the reason why I dislike SLI is that most people don't realize that a system with SLI is actually MORE laggy than a system with just one of the cards in it because of the way SLI/crossfire works. ... Just give it up, I'll never recommend a S...

Nothing beats a flame broiled hamburger over charcoal. Flame Broiled OVER charcoal ? Were you BBQing in Space?! (Broiled means the heat source is above the food) But anyhoo - the best solution, Lowes (maybe even Home Depot) has "Hybrid" grills. One Side is Gas, the other is wood or charco...

Yeah - i know it didn't gain any traction, but some cases had to have been made. I just need to know what to look for.

And not all cases have a bottom-mounted PSU.
I may have to just go with the Stacker, but its freakin huge.

Trying to find an Aftermarket BTX Case..

Only one ive been able to find that is any decent is the Coolermaster CM Stacker.

Gateway makes one - and ive exhausted almost every online resource I can think of. TigerDirect, NewEgg, Google, etc.

Any ideas ?

I got a degree in 3d animation not to learn new skills, but only because I was already a good 3d artist. Thats not always a bad thing. Some people just have a knack for something.

Congrats!

Some States, they post-date the marriage certificate out 5 days.

They say its a way to keep divorce rates down, to avoid people rushing into marriage.

Hope that didn't happen to you!

She wasn't old. Just 4 years. parakeets usually live to be 15. End of the story, she was euthanized today.

Vet called back - explained what was going on.

W/O seeing the bird, they think she had a Stroke.
Nothing we can do.

shes about 4 years old, he is around 5

Last night - both birds were fine, we have Two. Male (Petre) and a Female (Flurry). They were just in their cage doing their thing, chasing eachother around, playing.. Noticed that she was at the bottom of the cage, which is not totally out of the ordinary. but then noticed later that she was still ...

anyone know anything about parakeets?

Once in windows 7, is there a way to extract its boot loader ?

I can load the image onto a Vitural Machine and do it that way if its possible.

TOR_LordRaven

anyway - I think it has potental to be huge, simply because its a 3rd party OS, so many manufactures can use it. Much like Windows works for an HP or Dell. Droid will work for Moto or Samsung. So your apps you can take with you if you get a new phone.

TOR_LordRaven

Not sure if someone has mentioned this or not.. But Droid runs off the \"Andriod\" OS, its made by Google. Android is hyped as being super fast and easy to add onto (such as creating your own apps). And from what I have read, Android is going to be loaded onto some Netbooks. Looks like it ...

So i have a WinXP Laptop. Got a new laptop (Same make/model) wth Windows7. Owner wants XP put on it. So I made an image of the Win7 laptop and want to dual-boot my current system. I partitioned the HD 50/50, XP on one - 7 on the other. But - Win7 won't boot. I am guessing that its because it was not...

TOR_LordRaven

If all your concerned with is having \"XP Mode\", then just Download Microsoft \"Vitural PC\" and load XP into it.

I have XP 64-bit edition, but also have Vitural PC with Win98SE loaded (For old DOS games).

Works pretty good.

Anyone here play Mirrors Edge on PC ? its still at WalMart for $30, so when I saw it at Biglots for $6 i thought id pick it up. Its the full version, not a demo.

TOR_LordRaven

Yeah - Evidently I was not using an \"OEM\" cd, it was a Retail Disk and the key wouldn't work with it. Now I have an OEM, Retail, and Corp installers with me at all times.

Thanks for the help!

at any rate, OEM CD works. Thanks.

Here is what I did do... I used a hacked windows xp installer to install windows. Went to windows update, it of course said I had an invalid key. It asked for the CORRECT key, and I plugged in the key that was on the side of the case. After a few seconds, it worked and I was able to download updates...

Another way is to use Outlook (not express) and have your mail stored in a PST file. Keep that file on a Jump Drive and just plug it in to whatever computer you have setup to use it. Presto.

TOR_LordRaven

So - trying to help out a buddy, his PC crashed, needed a Format/Reload. Its an older system, and he does not have a backup CD for it. He got it from work when they were getting rid of some old hardware. Anyway, he does have a Windows XP Pro sticker on the side of his case, but when we try to instal...

TOR_LordRaven

Also - some of the higher-end netbooks have eSATA ports. I would create an image of your system once you get it all configured, then apply to an eSATA drive. Should something go wrong, just boot off eSATA.

TOR_LordRaven

Maybe this can help... Its not a \"Dumb Down\" version of windows. Its the Same Windows XP Home Edition as always. YES - you CAN still buy WinXP. If you buy it pre-configured from say.. Dell or HP, it will cost extra to \"downgrade\" but it is still possible. Or you can hit Tiger...

Thats a good one too if you want to stick with Intel. I know lots of people are brand-loyal. And if price is no object go ahead with that one.

of course, the 9800 GTX+ (as far as I know) won't push quad-sli, but at least you know you can upgrade way down the road and go to Quad

Its also much cheaper than the Intel board you priced. I love Asus boards, have them in all my systems.

TOR_LordRaven

Also - I have that same Video Card (GeForce 9800 GTX+).

And when running in Tri-SLi mode, it out performs many of the 10 series in Dual Mode.

And three of those cards costs less than two of the 10 series.

So... you might considering getting a Tri-SLI Board.

TOR_LordRaven

Looks Good - really good.

Any reason you are getting a 2nd Network Card other than to have Two network cards?
The Board comes with 10/100/1000 already - just curious.
