suryad

haha nice

I think I am leaning more towards the Armor. They are similar cases and both are heavyweights in terms of their featuresets. I just get the feeling the Thermaltake is a slight bit better and I have had experience with Thermaltake's before and they are great products.

kwpro is right. That is one of the biggest probs. But being that us end users have no way around it without causing ourselves immense inconveniences that is what we are stuck with and thus like Jeremy said we will have to learn to outsmart the bad people!

OMG! ****! I guess most of these can be forgiven...people are amazingly computer illiterate.

Hehe this should go well with the 512mb GTX monster that has been unleashed today!

Is ActiveX itself really a big security hole or is it that it is implemented in the IE browser poorly that is a cause of concern?

Gizmo anyone?

I kind of liked the barrels I loved Porsche Unleashed except the network play was horrid!!! Goddamn there were so many bugs! Ruined it! I love Richard Burns rally **** that is hard! Also try out FIA - GTR by Simbin.

Can 7-zip deal with RAR files as well?

Agreed. There have been a lot of statistics out showing that the music industry is still making a lot of money. So is the movie industry. It is just that the numbers are down becuase of the lackluster movie releases lately. I think corporate executives would like to blame it on the audience resorting to downloading movies before they come out which I dont think is entirely accurate.

That is amazing lol

Never heard of that case but will give it a shot. Thanks ripken.

Apparently seems like that i would need a different PSU for the workstation mobo and the mobo in question might not work without ECC memory. I would really like to avoid using the ECC memory if I can. Once again any comments are appreciated. The links are fixed this time around.

Alright looks like he 512 mb Geforce's came out...and with rumors of even higher clocked Nvidia parts coming out after New Year's! Dangit! I think I shoul be more patient and aim for post new year's to create my machine...

It could be your SATA driver problems.....and nice smiley akrtel......where di you get that?!

I chose water cooling because that way I wont have to hear the fans too much while working. This kind of power is going to generate a lot of heat. I mean I can already count 4 fans for 2 gpus and 2 procs...and then fan on PSU, plus the bunch of fans on the case....so that could get noisy fast. Hence the water cooling.

I believe a router would solve your problem. Once you configure your router your machine will never need to dial again and it will be as if you are alway on. This is in the case of DSL. In the case of Cable you are always on I believe and do not require dialing.

Hmm check if this link helps http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/

Sometimes i wish it would!!!

Crap I dont like that bit about BSOD when booting up one bit! I got the Look2me or whatever it is called as well. Tho I have not had random popups open up on me yet...it still is annoying and I want to get rid of it but now I am rather nervous. I tried running that program and this is the message i got "No version of the application found to uninstall." Yet Panda AV online scan tells me I have the spyware on my comp in the Windows directory with the name of "pinstall.dll"...yet when I go there I cannot see it....weird.

Well people are expecting too much out of these platforms. They are for getting heavy duty work done in the Enterprise applications space not for end users with dinky little problems. Java and .NET platforms are very similar to each other....they are both very heavyweight. They both have their places where they can be used and misused. I dont bother with .NET myself but certain softwares written using the .NET platform are quite awesome.

Hehe good to know benners. Thanks. Never in a million years would have thought about the copy command.

Well I like games too much to stop playing them. You know Starforce has been a pain for a lot of people except for me. I mean I dont try and tweak anything when it comes to game setups. I just install and game and then boom uninstall it. I didnt even know about Starforce until a bunch of people at Ubi forums were complaining about how it jacked up their hard drives or something when they were tying to install Splinter Cell Chaos Theory! I just hope after playing and then removing the game I dont have cruft left over. I think it is time lawmakers stepped in and talked to the software manufacturers about coming up with DRM that does not hurt the end user. This is just getting ridiculous. Good people who buy every piece of software legitimately are getting screwed because of a few rotten apples.

Are you using an original vesion of ghost? Or is it cracked? Also did you follow all the directions as required to get a working image? Also please be specific about any error messages and so forth that you may have seen when going through the process of making an image.

That would be my guess. Also check out the Sun tutorials on Swing development. They should help.
