sweet, new PC system is in and up and running. I have a wireless keyboard, mouse and monitor display in my lab now.

New toys!!!

My kid wants to build a gamer, not a task I have ever done. Should be interesting.

[Andy911sc]

I built a few computers when I was in college. One for the parents, and two during my time in college. Gamer computers can get a little pricey with graphics cards, bridges, processors and memory. All depends on how bada$$ you want to make it. Anymore these days, it's cheaper to buy a basic computer than it is to build one. I had a friend just recently ask me for something just for getting on the internet, doing excel, outlook and word. I told him just go get a low end laptop for a few hundred, it's not cost effective to build something like that anymore.

When the daughter was here, before the army, we built her a gamer for playing W.O.W. and it was watercooled. Kind of a waist really when we only have a ten meg service

[Andy911sc]

Never trusted the water cooled towers. I think it's that nervous thought of a water line breaking over my processor, motherboard and hard drive.

[Rick V]

Oh trust me it was a WTF moment and a little uneasy feeling at first but I will say with the added fans I put in the case and the water cooler that thing was coooooooool. I had to tell myself I drive a Boxster and it has water, everything will be okay

[Flieger]

You could probably do an oil-cooled one instead with minimal modifications. There was a picture somewhere on off topic from someone who put their boards in a fish tank full of clear mineral oil and with a heat exchanger in the bottom.

You wear the Boxster not drive it.

[Rick V]

True

[Porsche-poor]

I have never tries to fit in one. My legs are to long, I'd have to get the automatic version.

My new computer at home is so fast it is awesome. My old computer was 9 years old. It would take over 3 minutes to load Quicken to the point where I could enter my password. The new one is done loading Quicken in less than a second. I still giggle every-time I load a program.

32 gigs of ram and a 6 core CPU will do that. I don't have any games loaded on it at all.

[Rick V]

Okay the old bat across the street has pissed me off yet again with her whiny mouth sooooooooooo
I took this




Then added this



then I couldn't leave out my favorite little jewel




and made it all sing with one hundred watts of hybrid tubie goodness








Hey lady I think I can out "whine" you

[Porsche-poor]

You should have Connor over. The two of your would kill her.

[Rick V]

I can't hang with that kid nor his amp, but it would be fun. I doubt the house would take it being plaster and all

[Porsche-poor]

Put it on the front porch facing her house. either the Peavey or the Marshall JCM-900 and let her have it.

[Rick V]

Marshall all the way, I have a friend who has the nasty Messa double rectifier set up with multiple cabinets. That would be fun

[Porsche-poor]

both go thru the mesa 2X10 cab. it is enough to make my neighbors nervous....

[Porsche-poor]

I am wondering if he can get a splitter and plug both heads into the one cabinet and have one in stand by while the other is active. They have such different sounds and certain songs sound better on one over the other.

[Rick V]

I know you can split as to which amp you want but I am not too sure about sharing cabinets. I like my Hartke for the sound, it is very round and full bodied. I am so glad I got rid of my FM212 for it

[Porsche-poor]

Yeah no way that you would want to feed both amps at the some time into the one cab but it would be great not to have to switch cables on the fly just flip a switch
