I just wanted to update on the solution that I ended up using: Microsoft shared computer toolkit. Very effective for managing user privileges. Even allows for a secret login prompt for the admin account. Doesn't allow changes and doesn't save any changes. I used this in combination with...

If that doesn't work, you can use glove pie. You can make a script that translates the dpad into keyboard presses. Let me know if you need help.

I'm so glad I'm clinging to my $10.00 tmo web plus plan! 5 gb no overages (just slowed). Sorry for all who are stuck paying more, but I'm not letting go until they make me.

I like that too. I looked at the opensuse studio site and it was helpful in creating a minimal live cd, but I still beleve I would need to install it and change the settings and then make another live cd.. There is an option to configure the network settings manually before creating the live...

Thanks lxskllr. So, I did some googling just now and found this too: link It explains how to make a live cd of an already installed distro. So if I understand correctly, I need to install fresh to an hdd and then customize as I wish (and block sites per you instruction page) and make a...

Yep, I have both pointing outward. My room is cold, so I get idles in the mid 20's and load never hits over 62c (runniing linx)

So here's the situation. I manage a pizza restaurant where we make deliveries. There is a computer that we let our drivers use to look up locations. About a year ago the computer (running xp) got a virus, and since then I have formatted, reinstalled xp, and dissalowed the personal use of our...

So, I can't get anything started. Last night I got 3 tasks, but after that, it keeps saying communication deferred. What should I do? edit: oh its down huh. Ok.

Alright, pics: I had to clip that plastic grill off of the top panel to fit it all in. But it fits nicely with the top on that way. Forgot the outside pics... but yeah, not very interesting anyways right?

First of all, thank you mfenn, lehtv for the advice you've given. You helped me clarify what I was looking for in my new pc. But as for the h-100, I had kind of had my heart set on it since I first saw it :) So.. yeah, I'm going to keep it despite the other options. It actually fits quite...

Ok, but like I said amazon has a great return policy :biggrin: Well, I bought the h100 because I just liked how small it was. Not the rad but the footprint on the actual motherboard. I just liked the way it looked compared to something like a NH-D14 sized monster. Is there a reason you...

So I bought the i5-2500k. Came in the mail this morning (thanks to Amazon 2day ^_^) But the board and the ram is still coming from newegg (didn;t want to pay extra for shipping..). I wanted to get it all from Amazon because they have a much simpler (and free) return process, but they didn't...

Thank you mfenn, I likely will go with the i5-2500k. Although, I wonder if you thought I was talking about some other chip here: Ok, I could be wrong here, but the only reason I was considering this chip was because I thought it was a black edition. Isn't it? Anyways, if it is unlocked, then...

Ok, thank you for your input everyone! So I'm leaning towards the build you decribed here: ~$382 But also considering something like this: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX $150 AMD Phenom II X4 960T$124.99 (same ram?) $37 ~$312 And...

Ok, to put it plainly, I don't have the time use my pc too often for anything at all, but I suppose when I do I want it to be able to perform. If I were to choose, I would prioritize the time it takes to encode video over fps in gaming. Does x6 Phenom (x4 960t) at least compete with i5-2500k...
