    What should I replace my Antec 1200 with?

    The 800D is a very nice case. What type of budget are you expecting to have(sorry if I missed it)? I opted for the NZXT Phantom. Plenty of room , good cable management, quiet, fan controller,etc. It's also water cooling friendly. ;)

    Any Old School JD Snowblower Techs Here?

    I have an old John Deere 732 snowblower that is in great shape except for the motor. I'm looking for some info on an engine upgrade - preferably to something bigger. Anybody here work as a JD tech and know the ins and outs of this series?

    Lawn Maintenance - What Are You Paying?

    Thank God I have patience. I just hate the look of our yard compared to all of the old retired guys around me that have nothing but time on their hands(or lots of money to pay to have it done) to do yard work. That was another issue - once all of the chemicals , sprayers/tools , and time are...

    Lawn Maintenance - What Are You Paying?

    I'll agree with that - to a point. I just started taking it personal as to what I think about my yard so I'm pretty much a "noob". I'm hoping to be able to pick the maintenance guys brain a little and then do it myself. It's just totally out of control right now and I work 60+ hrs a week. I'm...

    Lawn Maintenance - What Are You Paying?

    Why , because I care what the yard looks like? I live in a neighborhood between $500k+ houses so I'd rather have grass than weeds since the previous people obviously didn't give a crap about the yard.

    Lawn Maintenance - What Are You Paying?

    Every time I look outside - I just want to pour some concrete! I guess it's not as bad as the neighbors across the street - their yard is basically yellow. I think they must be Dandelion farmers!

    Lawn Maintenance - What Are You Paying?

    Moved into a new place and the yard is just horrible. Looking at roughly 13k sq. ft. Dandelions , Crabgrass , thistle , Clover , and the list goes on. I'm trying a few things myself but I think I am going to get some estimates from a few places for a yearly maintenance - weedkiller , Crabgrass...

    Absinthe - Trying It Tonight

    Sorry to hear tat Source... The bottle we have is the same one showing in the first link provided by Zane - obviously a commercialized brand - Lucid. It does seem to have a little different effect so far. At least for me. I'd really like to try a "pre-ban" for comparative purposes of course. :)

    Absinthe - Trying It Tonight

    The bottle we have is 62%. I guess that the originals were around 70%. Good link Zane. I wondered if the Thujone had been filtered out as it is also considered a poison and used to be considered the active ingredients in Absinthe. I saw a study on 13 bottles of "pre-ban" that stated that...

    Absinthe - Trying It Tonight

    Yeah , I have heard that since the original factory burned in the late 1800's - early 1900's the recipe has never been the same. The original factory was rebuilt in 1905(before being shut down because of the ban)and used updated machinery in the processing but it was not the same. Kind of a...

    Absinthe - Trying It Tonight

    Anybody here ever tried it? What did you think and how did it affect you. I'm about 2 drinks in and I can definitely tell that it is going to be something different than the "usual" drunk. Very clean and airy so far. Will post back after a few more - see where it's going to go. :)

    Office 2003 Pro For Builders (?)

    Money for a newer version is not a problem but most of the transcription companies are using 2003. So this is a must in able for her to work. There is no difference between OEM and the "builders" version? I have seen both.

    Good war movies

    Apoc. Now Redux has been a fav since day one. I wish my other half was into war movies as I haven't seen a lot of these in years. Another couple to add to the list is Hamburger Hill and Memphis Belle.

    How to best use a small SSD under Win 7?

    If you don't game much , a 60 or 80gig should be fine. How many games do you install at once is the real clincher. I'm a light gamer also. I usually only install one or 2 at a time and when I finish one , I delete it.If you're going to leave them on , you might as well look at drives much large...

    Is Win7 ultimate 64 bit defrager a good program?

    Isn't the quickest path the one with least resistance? If you take a finished puzzle , you can draw a straight line through it - but start taking parts out of it and the path changes and gets longer. I'm a maintenance freak(use about 6 maintenance apps) and that's just how I look at it. I deal...

    Sad News: Chris Ray of Nvidia's Focus Group passes away.

    Very sad. :( I had what was called lower abdominal pneumonia and mono at the same time and felt like I was going to die for around 2 months. I was even bedridden. I just hope he passed in less distress than I was feeling.

    I quit smoking!

    Congrats! I quit about 4 weeks ago. I miss it as I enjoyed it and it was a pretty good crutch when I got stressed. I don't know if it's permanent but I guess any time spent not smoking is good. Good luck!

    Subaru Wheels Interchangeable?

    Thanks. I actually have a site that has a similar program. Just looking for something nice. Concensus says that the newer WRXs have a different offset/lug spacing. It's just my work car but still gets 30mpg in town so it's kind of hard to get rid of and it's not in that bad of shape. So, I'll...

    Subaru Wheels Interchangeable?

    Need some tires for my 1996 Impreza and was wondering if the wheels from a newer WRX would fit? Thinking if i can find a set at one of the junk yards around here I might just change both - rims and tires , but wanted to make sure on the fitment.

    CPU Upgrade DV6000

    I am looking to upgrade the cpu in my laptop and am wondering if I can replace the current T1350 with a T7300. The mobo is a Quanta BB30 w/i945GM chipset. It's a HP DV6000. If the 7300 won't work , what's the best chip I can replace the 1350 with?
