I've pretty much always been a lurker since I found out about this site, but I do remember reading a lot of his posts back in the day. Sad to hear of his passing.

I like the idea of say in a year or so I decide to re purpose my NUC as a lite gaming rig for my niece or the living room. It'd be great to then add my 960 or (if I upgrade out of it) my 980 from my main rig. Not saying that this is for sure going to happen, but if I did decide to do this, then I wo...

I know I'm a little late on this, as you're already choosing what to put in, but here is my first rule about working inside a computer. I tell this to ANYBODY that says that they want to upgrade or build one... Don't force ANYTHING , be it a card or a cable or whatever. If it doesn't want to fit, st...

I still eat raman every now and again, but while I was in the Navy, my roommate decided to make 5 packs at a time (quite often I might add). We used to have 3 man rooms, but they dropped us to two man rooms, so we had an extra locker then. Well, he would NEVER finish all his raman, so we'd end up wi...

I've been looking at the WinTV-PVR-USB2 what's the quality like for you??? The quality is usually pretty good. Gotta take this with a big grain of salt, because my standard basic cable isn't always super purty, so the capture isn't good, but, it's true to the input. I am currently working on replac...

I am using Ceramique on 2 cpu's (AMD 5000+ BE and Phenom 9500) and on my 8800GT. I haven't used AS5 on my 8800, but did test it on the BE chip. Cooling was (or at least for the SMALL bit of testing I did) ~2 degree's cooler, but I didn't do anything even remotely "scientific" testing wise....

P-3? Does that refer to an airplane? The only P-3 aircraft I've ever heard of is the Lockheed P-3 Orion . Yes, P-3 Orion's. ASW planes. 4 Props (Turbo-prop, so still jet), based out of NAS Barber's Point, HI. I was making a joke there heh. Slow planes, and they COULD carry 1 harpoon missile, maybe....

My favorite projectile concept is "rods from god." instead of shooting something out of a barrel, you mark it with a laser or enter GPS coordinates. A big object covered in a heat shield with low wave drag and a mechenism to aim that you put into space at a previous time aquires a target ...

For me it's Civ 3. I have tried to play Diablo 1/2 again, but just can't get past the mental block. MOO 2 calls me back in every once in a while also. As far as MMO's go, well, I STILL want to go back and play Asheron's Call (haven't played that since the late 90's) and Anarchy Online (IMO the "...

Yeah, but better safe than sorry. Engrave it, instead :lol: LOL We have 2x 35watt CO2 lasers and one 20 watt CO2 laser at work... we could engrave it for you (for a nominal fee of course :P ) j/k *EDIT* forgot, we also have 2 diamond engravers and 1 highspeed engraver also, for different looks hehe

I started listening to metal in the mid 80's... Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, Candlemass, Helloween, Iron Maiden, Hallows Eve, Dark Angel, Death Angel, S.O.D., M.O.D., Overkill, Sacred Reich, and more I don't remember atm. I still listen to some of that older stuff, but have mello...

I just recently got a "true" HTPC going (used to have the tuner cards in my main rig, not TOO bad since they're both hardware MPEG encoders). I put the tuners into my old comp (A64 3200+) w/ onboard sound (not even hooked up to speakers) and a 6600gt (again, my old main's hardware). I watch tv on my...

Personally, I found him to be a bit annoying, and his explanations slightly childish. BUT , in watching some of his shows I learned a LOT about the subject at hand. And, while sometimes he seemed to be taking too many risks, I guess that to actually show us these animals, you have to get close. I am...

Most of my nit-picks are of words that sound the same, but have different meanings. Mostly I see these in online games, such as WoW. ex. accept vs. except "LF3M for Wailing Caves, need anything accept warriors" Also, I find it quite funny that people will say Rouge instead of Rogue , which is a char...

I haven't received any of these, but, in 2003, after being out of work for 2 years, I fell for one of these. I made ALMOST every mistake possible. I faxed DL and ss card, got check, TRIED to cash it (was put on hold, but I got $500 advanced on it). Well, it was fake, my account closed, and, now I ha...

Not really a frustrating thing, but I used to work for a guy who's favorite phrase was "Hurry up every chance you get".... which is kinda puzzling if ya stop and think about it

I just have to throw in a couple of singers that MOST LIKELY not many have heard of: Floor Jansen, After Forever (http://www.afterforever.com) and Sharon den Adel, Within Temptation (http://www.within-temptation.com) for some reason I've been listening to a lot of "goth metal" recently :lol: I do ha...

is there anything i have to set before pluggin in the sound card to my board? i bet something have to do with BIOS but not familiar with messing with bios setting. Since you're using the onboard sound, then you'll probably have to turn that off in bios (I did when I put together my new system... us...

My mother, who is now at "risk" (according to the med peeps cause of her age and one other thing listed below) can't get a flu shot just yet. She has Leukemia (sp), and just went through chemo, so, since her white cell count is WAYYYY low, she can't get the shot (and can't go out in public without a...

My Ti4200 is now my "ghetto" video card... the fan died at some point (I try to check my cpu fan/heatsink ~ once a month, but forgot to check that one), and now it makes the screen orangish, and everything ghosts to the left (makes for a wunnerful headache :cry: ). Anyway, I know how you feel, it wa...

I think I just have the normal ones, teh, em (me), jsut. What really gets me is when I'm playing MMORPG's... I understand that for a lot of the people, they don't speak english as their primary language, but some of their grammer makes me stop and do a double-take (even though I DO know what it is t...

I had that trouble when I put together my Athalon XP 1900+ chip in my Soltek SL-75DRV5 MB... Try making sure the heatsink is making VERY GOOD contact... Mine wasn't quite seated straight... I moved it about 1/4 a centimeter, and it worked fine. Just a thought. Good luck.
