Not a hot deal. I had an identical system (except for a P4 2.8/533) in my cart for ~ $225 earlier. In addition, the 10% off coupon appears to be DEAD. This is currently the hottest deal on a Dell, IMO: http://www.fatwallet.com/t/18/460264/ Dimension 8400 with 19" LCD for $499 after...

That is really barebones. 128MB RAM and Win95? ::LoL::

Retail has the Nero Burning Rom App (not just Nero Express). A full retail key with media goes for about $25 shipped on Ebay for what it's worth.

I have two of the 1GB PC3200 2-3-2-5 low latency kits (2 * 512MB each). Ran reliably at stock timings and voltage. They apparently do not overclock well but I have not tried. PDP's tech support is great. I needed to get the SPD in all four sticks reprogrammed to 2.5-3-3-8 so that I could...

Adaptec CERC 6-port SATA Raid Controller. Does Raid 5, 1, 0, 10. Supports online array expansion and multiple arrays <--> multiple disks. $20 from Ebay (normally a $399 add-on from Dell) Close second place is an Inspiron 8600 laptop. Centrino, P-M 1.5, 512 MB, Intel B/G Wireless. $300...

Agreed. ZZF is slow to process RMAs. I had to call multiple times before a refund was finally issued. It took over a month from the time I shipped the item back until a credit was posted to my account. In addition, they will not budge on the 15% restocking fee if the returned item tests...

The remote server could log the router's _IP_ address, not its MAC address. The wireless router's MAC address is effectively "stripped" once packets hit the ISP's gateway. At the remote end, the only MAC address the server sees is that of its gateway.

Needed one when living in apts. But I still use it for peace of mind.

Nope. MAC address logging is pointless, as the only MAC address the people who run the server will see is that of the server's gateway.

It is about doing everything possible to get even the slightest edge over your opponent. Gamers take out the MX500/510 weight for the same reason they spend money on fancy mouse pads (for their optical mice) and teflon mouse skates. Or still prefer using a CRT over LCD or spend hours tweaking...

Yes. Only problem is that I play games more now.

Yes you can. Here is another helpful link from MS: http://www.microsoft.com/techn.../security/ipsecld.mspx I have used that guide in the past to secure Windows 2000 servers where a hardware firewall was not feasible. It is possible to create a script using the ipsecpol.exe command such...

A cleaner and more secure option: Use the "Listening VNC Viewer" on your end, and have the users behind the router initiate the VNC session to your client (which will be running in a "server" mode). From the users' point of view, this is a simple outbound connection which will avoid the...

Multi-monitor KVM Edit: It sounds like all you need is a simple USB or PS2 switchbox for your mouse/kb only - if I am reading the thread correctly.

The Sonata and 3700BQE are great cases to work with. Here are some shots of my 3700BQE: Full View [jpg, 108K] Inside View [jpg, 161K] Who needs rounded cables? ;)
