Thanks for the link, Motley! I think I remember that page but couldn't find it on google.

Well, I figured a BIOS update would be the easiest thing to try and I always like having the latest versions of things anyway :) I saw this in my system log, thought it sounded like a BIOS problem AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to read from an illegal IO port address (0xcfc), which lies in the...

A few years ago there was a hot deal that a lot of anandtechers took advantage of. It was a barebones system from Andara Technologies from Overstock.com for about $65 that supported up to a 1GHz AMD processor. I think the systems were formerly from Micron. I got one of them and it has been...

Are you willing to pay for blog hosting? If so, you can look at many of the packages out there. I host several bloggers (people who have blogs ;)) that use either b2 (cafelog.com) or Movable Type (www.movabletype.org/).

I got an old 88 Honda Civic that was pretty damaged. The front hood was crumpled after he ran into the back of a Lincoln. I am in the process of fixing it. So far I have pulled the front end back out closer to how it was originally. I fabricated a new mount/latch mechanism for the new hood I...

Put the stock lights back on. Your aftermarket lights do NOT make you look cool.

I picked up a Marantz SR-5000 for $250 refurbished from an internet vendor a year ago. It is an excellent receiver and has served well. It has an optical audio input and supports Dolby digital/DTS, it also has lots of S-VIDEO ports and can do video switching. I think I found the place that...

Man I wish they could tell me where they get their UNLIMITED megabyte hard drives. UNLIMITED storage == "We don't tell you how much storage we'll give you" Mark

Ampache is pretty nice, I haven't worked with it much (yet) but it does have a search function.

Definately a good deal. I got one last year when this was a hot deal at $50. Good product if you can fit it under your table/desk. Takes up too much room on the surface.

I've been interested in getting a Dodge truck, just a 1/2 ton. But, seems like Dodges get the worst milage. Any of you guys want to post your gas milage? I assume the 4x4's are worse than 4x2's. I only have about 3000lbs to haul so a 1/4 ton 4x4 should be enough for me.

Thanks for the tips yllus Right now I am setup with two servers. I have one running Ensim 3.1 control panel, and the other is more of a barebones Apache 1.3.26 with php. I anticipate that most of my customers will want the user-friendly control panel, but I can customize and tweak Apache on...

Yes, I've been to webhostingtalk.com.. I think $10/year is too low for any type of web hosting service. My rates would have to be higher than Cyberwings, but my customers should expect a higher level of service and stability... any more interest?

I am starting a small web hosting company. I already have 2 servers setup that I am leasing in a colocation facility. I would like some feedback specifically from AnandTech users about what they would pay for in terms of web hosting. I already plan to offer very good tech support via email -...

thanks for posting! best deal I've seen in awhile on HDDs.. Never had a problem with the few WD's I've owned before, hopefully it'll stay that way :)
