@spoof - that's a bit too far for demonstration... *censors*

@jcarle - O RLY? http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=1&pid=567

Yup - you're worrying over nothing. Read this article and read it well. Tell me afterwards if you're still worried over a 620W PSU. I'd pick the Corsair over Enermax anyday. I'd take the new Corsair VX450 over any Enermax...

The 8600GT will be plenty for that resolution. Remember - the graphics card has to drive a certain number of pixels - not the size of the display. I can make a 70" display using a projector, but it's still only 1024x768. Save your money on the graphics card and spend it on the quality PSU. Your whole computer will thank you.

Like ripken said, it would be an index.php file. When a webserver sees an HTML file, it just sends it your way, and your browser deals with it. When a server reads a PHP file, it will parse that file as code to figure out how to generate the HTML code that is then sent to you. And you got all the parts right. Now all you need to do is figure out where the "break points" for each support file is (header, etc).

Need I repeat myself... you've come up with another two PSUs that I haven't heard of and definitely wouldn't recommend over the corsair or seasonic... I don't know how many times I need to say it...

Yea... I actually just put it there for the time being. I had used it that day to check my brakes on my car... haha!

http://www.simplemachines.org/ Simple Machines forum is a good simple forum setup with a frontpage and the like. It should give you something to start with. Another couple popular forum software that are free are PhpBB and PunBB. Just a word of warning - both systems don't have very good spambot control, so you'll probably want to manually activate accounts if you release this on the web.

Ugh... that's a lot of redundant code. Converting that into a PHP based system would be very simple. You'd essentially just be cutting your 6 pages into...9 files - 6 content pages, a header, a sidebar, and a footer (that's how I organize my pages at least). If you need to update the header - you just edit header.php. For example, this could be the general structure of one of your content pages <?php include 'header.php'; ?> <p>This is the main stuff in my page</p> <?php include 'sidebar.php'; include 'footer.php'; ?> I'm not saying that it would be exactly like that, but hopefully you get the idea.

I have a Stacker 810 setup at home - it's my main file server. I've only got the two rear exhaust fans running, and I found that my temperatures actually decreased when I covered up the mesh in the side panel. If you think about the airflow -it's now moving faster from front to back of the case. I've also covered the mesh of the panels on the front of the case where there are no drives behind. My suggestion to you - forget the 4 side fans and cover up the side of the case with something solid - I use a fitted piece of cardboard behind the mesh in mine.

I also thought it was an excellent movie. One interesting note about the Bourne series is that during fight scenes, there's little to no music at all. With other action movies, your attention is somewhat distracted by the big, fancy rock or techno music that's playing in the background - but with Bourne, it's pure, clean beating-the-crap-out-of-each-other.

So... CraigsList is awesome. I've picked up most of my "home theatre system" from there - xbox, Panasonic DVD/5.1 sound system, and the last addition - the TV stand. The TV I got from my parents when they moved out of their old house, and the PS2, I bought a while back. The TV stand is great, since it has so much storage space. You can see I've got most of my DVDs there (all of them are ripped to the XBox hard drive anyways), and my PS2 games and accessories (controllers, multi-tap, etc) are in the right cupboard. The left cupboard is for general storage stuff... Let me know what you guys think.

The Galaxy we had at SPCR was horribly loud. Check out the review. Seasonic M12-700 Corsair HX520 & HX620 Oh... by the way - Corsair PSUs are OEM'ed by Seasonic. I've got the HX620 in my new file server, and it's nothing short of fantastic.

Ugh - the Galaxy is horribly loud. I was next to that thing at SPCR and... *shudders* Get yourself the Seasonic M12-700 or Corsair HX620. Both have plenty of power, and are much better quality. Trust me - with the components you're using - you don't want to skimp on a cheap PSU.

Haha - 64 lanes would be sick... /me wants.

Or... we can all get boards like the Wall Street Quartet... I actually considered that for my file server setup....

@Memnoch - Fair enough. It is a nice thing not to share bandwidth, but I think what most people will emphasise about PCIe 2.0 is the increased speed. It's like everything in this world... FASTER IS BETTER!!! (even when it isn't) My workstation still has an ISA slot. B)

Now that's funny.... No offence taken. I think you and I have similar humour styles. I like it. Thank you.

For that system and her purposes, chances are the quad core will be a waste. Just because you can't wait for yours doesn't mean his mother should pay the extra cash (and a considerable amount at that) for it.

I've got the E2160, and although it's running Server 2003, it's fast... plenty fast for whatever your mother is going to do.

No. She won't notice the difference at all. Don't waste your money on the Quad-core.

What I'm wondering is what devices we have today that actually need PCI-E 2.0. Most graphics cards today don't even make use of the 16 lanes that they're given, so why should we need more. From what I understand, PCI-E 2.0 ports will be backwards compatible with current PCI-E, so your graphics card today will work in X38 based motherboards (speculatively speaking).

Just a word of warning - don't put XP on your printer server if you're going to have multiple connections to the machine. Otherwise, you might end up with the problem in this thread. See if you can buy a licence for Windows 2000 Server. It's still old enough that it'll fly on that machine, and it'll let you have as many connections as you want.

I suppose that you can find it amusing if you wish, but on the other hand, you'd usually end up paying more for Windows hosting than Linux hosting. The reason is simple - licences cost money, Linux/Unix based systems don't (unless you buy enterprise support).

Gotta agree with you on that, Philips screws suck. Robertson are the best. Unfortunately in the trade I'm in, theres very few Robertson screws, it's mostly 5/16 hex heads and Philips or Slot screws. Anyway, you prefer to keep your house at 20/21? That's 68/70. I hope that's in the winter and not the summer, if it's the summer, then your wasting a lot of energy, not to mention it's bad on your A/C unit because you can freeze the Evaporator coil doing that. 70'F is a more realistic temperature however, but you should goto 73'F and not setback in the night time as that is the hardest thing on a residential A/C unit. To try and recover the house during the day with the sun load on the house I mean. Anyway, if you worked in the trade I am in, you'd understand why the Imperial system is used so much, therefore better for the people like me. Everything is in Inches and Feet, every temperature is in Fahrenheit (just look at the Ambient outside air temperature sensors, or the controllers for the economizers, or the main control boards for the rooftop units or the make up air units. Everything is in imperial, therefor the scale is much better for a person such as me. The reason I posted that message you quoted before, was because, in a way, you were calling the majority of the Tradesmen (and other people who use the system) idiots. I merely replied to tell you that there are people who use it, and believe that it is better. Do my job for a few days, and you will understand (and not the residential stuff, because residential isn't nearly as good a line of work as commercial). Another thing I hate, are metric socket sets. Automechanics go out of their minds because the majority of vehicles switch back and forth between metric and imperial, on the same vehicle Anyway, I don't feel like wasting my hard earned weekend on this stuff, so, I pretty much retract the reply I made in the other post. It seems as though that no one can have an opinion on this forum, which is why I feel like leaving it and staying at WinCert.net. Have a nice day @prx984 - I in no way intend to call anyone an id*** with this debate. I'm just trying to argue my point of view that the Imperial system confuses me. A lot of the bases for the imperial system seem vague at best, but we're still forced to learn them (the 5280ft/mile vs 1000m/km for example). I understand that many trades use Imperial for their measurements and such - all I'm trying to say is that the system seems strange to me. You as a tradesperson didn't choose to use the Imperial system, but it's what the trade uses, so you use it. Simple. Nothing wrong or stupid done on your part. You're using the tools that are available to you, just like I do in my research. I think what you hate is the mixed systems. If we all had just one or the other for our projects, then we'd never run into difficulties. I keep my thermostat at 20-21C all the time, but I don't have AC at all. Fortunately, my suite is half underground, so it stays quite cool in the summer. No AC for me to blow... I'll keep it in mind though if I do get it for my next place. @DL - I just finished my engineering undergrad, and in the research that I'm doing (nanoelectronics and molecular dynamics), nobody uses imperial anywhere. Size scales are fractions of metres, and temperatures are Kelvin (same scale as C, just shifted). We computer geeks see the metric system in this industry all the time - what are the size scales of transistors measured in? Nanometres. What temperature scale do most people on forums use when reading a program like SpeedFan? Celsius. Like you, I can use Imperial, but it doesn't feel right for me when I do my work. When I'm talking to friends about height and weight, we use feet, inches, and pounds here, but when I tell people how far to drive, I'll tell them in kilometers. I think my main point was that many of the conversions in the Imperial system are vague or difficult to remember. Another pet peeve of mine, is when people say that they weigh so many kilos. You don't weigh a certain amount of kilos. You have that much mass. Your weight should be described in Newtons, which you can get by multiplying your mass by approximately 9.8 (depending on where you stand on Earth). Everyone has their opinion, and nobody has the right to say you don't. If I've offended you, prx984, I'm sorry. I just like good civilized debate. I hope that you continue with this discussion.
