If you are living beyond your means and have such things it is on thing. If you manage your money well and can AFFORD a new car, a big house, and all the creature comforts, by all means you deserve them.

The core files are essentially the same. All you need is on copy and a reference to them for each OS install. There are some warez DVDs floating around that include every version of windows on a pair of DVDs (Called something like Windows All-In-One DVDs). I use these at work since I have some...

ExpertNovice -- "There is "footprint" and useable space. Are you really storing items behind your current monitor? The width does save you about 2" and if that is 30% of your desktop area you have bigger problems!" Yes, I store my rig behind the LCD now. This allows me to have monitors and...

BB, CC, OfficeX, Staples... just check your Sunday paper and you will see at least one of them with a good deal. When you see some top rated media, just get a few spindles and keep them for the future. I like to keep 100 at all times just incase there are no sales for a week or 2 (or im too busy...

I like fedora, but i havent messed with linux in about 6 months so... :)

the only downside i see to getting a 6600, is that you would have to get an AGP one. THis could prove to be nothing if you get a whole new system in a year or so (including video card), or it could be bad if you decide to jump on a new mobo/cpu that uses pci-e. If you are planning to run this...

I like the upgrade every 2 years path. Last time I upgraded I saved my change in a jar for about 2 years, and when it was time to upgrade I basically had all the cash I needed without having to spend from my bank account. I think this works out really well, especially for those on a budget. I...

Where else can you pay 40k/yr and be happy with a 5usd copy of Windows? hehe

I will assume that since you are getting them all at once, they are identical in hardware. If this is the case the image would be an easy solution. With a standard ghost, you might need to set up network IDs by hand, but that isn't even really time consuming. If you have a ghostcast server I...

i'd spring for a <10gb hdd... im sure one can be had for like 10usd. THat is if that old lappy takes 3.5", a 2.5" might be more than a couple of bucks.

I am finally taking the plunge so to speak, and moving my computers onto a rack. To start this off I am going to put my new a64 rig on the rack first. The machine is: Asus a8n sli deluxe 3000+ Winnie 6600GT 1GB corsair Value (replacing with OCZ when i order case) XP-90 I plan to OC...

You set them up to connect to a terminal server. Basically they are a PC, but with just the bare essentials to get KVM feedback from the terminal server. As for benefits, you can have one "beefy" term server running tons of these thin clients. They are much cheaper than actually buying full blow...
