Nerwin Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Exactly, its like there was no cars, planes or anything for a long long long time and then out of no wheres, this started to happen. Was it possible to make a computer way back in the 1800s if they had the knowledge, i'm sure they could. I don't see why not. Could of this advanced technology started years and years ago? It sure could of.
jcarle Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 What blows me away is how prices keep dropping for everything. I just added a 24" screen to my setup which I never could have done a few years ago.
ripken204 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Posted November 25, 2008 haha, how funny is that, i just ordered a second 24" last night as well. but i will be selling my 22", 2x24" is enough for me, i dont have anywhere to put 3 monitors.but i sure do love these crazy price drops.
Nerwin Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 Lol, Like I orderd my new 22inch Widescreen from Dell for 209 bucks and free shipping. It has 4USB port hub and its height adjustable and it can swivel to portrait mode and landscape mode. I say $209 is a great deal.

Idontwantspam Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 The comments about how technology change are interesting considering how many people (myself included) who, 7 years later, are still using Windows XP. Windows XP was released in October, 2001; now it's late 2008. I've started using Server 2008 a bit, as well as Vista, but I still predominantly use XP. Heck, my school district just started using a Windows XP image as the standard a year ago. They probably won't have vista by the time I come back for my 50 year reunion.
ripken204 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Posted December 7, 2008 well that is your decision.. windows 7 will be out in a year or so.

Still using XP - haven't even touched or tried using Vista. I've played with Server 2008 too, which has taken some getting used to.

Thunderbolt 2864 Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 New video:http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=VMUgOcs7VTE&...re=channel_pageStill haven't done any cable management yet. I got a new fan and a bigger case.
puntoMX Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Still haven't done any cable management yet.The 12V line looks realy short, is there no way to give it some play?Nice setup John, did you OC that X2 monster too?
Thunderbolt 2864 Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) ^^ The last time I tried overclocking my 4870x2, loading any 3D application would hang my computer. But it doesn't really matter, my 4870x2 is fast enough. I also overclocked my E8500 to 3.80Ghz, though I'll attempt to overclock to 4.0Ghz again later on by increasing the voltages.Thanks for your comment. Edited December 14, 2008 by Thunderbolt 2864
Zxian Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Why is the CNPS9500/9700 pointing up? Is there a top vent in the case, or is the PSU at the top? The best orientation for that thing would be to have the airflow run front to back - not bottom to top.
Thunderbolt 2864 Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 ^^ I decided to fix it a little while ago and now the fan is pointed in the left direction where those two other LED fans are. Is that the right way?
