Not particularly, but I had not heard of Mountain House and was looking for something with a long shelf life, and figured MREs were the standby. I checked out MH, and it looked pretty good. Any other suggestions, anyone?
Anyone have any suggestions? I've heard army surplus stores are the most expensive, and gun shows a bit more reasonable. How about online? And approx. how much should they be per (box?)?
Greetings all,
I was wondering if anyone can recommend some decent software for me to catalogue my home library. It's not massive--around a thousand volumes--but I want something that will handle expansion. I've heard good things about Readerware (with their barcode scanner and server...
I'm talking about the stuff they originally sent me, of which I have some left from the original install. It's two years old by now, so I don't know if it is still effective.
Realtemp lists them as 88C and 86C. I'm gonna try to reseat it once someone tells me if I can use the same thermal grease or if I have to get new stuff.
Ok, have to have either mounted the bastard wrong, or something else is going on. I know the fan is spinning, because the manual speed control dial works. I bought this heat sink during my last upgrade 2 years ago. Recently, my 7950GT burnt out, so I'm paranoid about heat.
-Case temps under...
I forgot to mention that I do have a magnesium firestarter. Good for 5000 strikes or something. I appreciate the heads-up though :)
I'll spend some time on those two websites, they look pretty good so far.
I was wondering if the serrated edge was going to be useful or not. And I was planning on the 7", because room is not really an issue.
This is going into the survival kit I'm putting together atm. If anyone has extensive experience with these things, or something off the beaten path that...
It sounds like everyone thinks the Ka-Bar is the best to get for the money. I'm ordering the straight edge basic usmc one then, on 6-19, unless anyone has any other suggestions before then. Otherwise, thanks guys.
I'm looking for a decent fixed-blade knife to add to a survival kit, for between 50 and 75 bucks. I realize you can go crazy and buy a $400 Busse knife, but that's beyond my needs and means.
Can anyone recommend a reputable place/site to purchase a quality camping/survival knife for me...
Thanks again for all of the help guys. I had one last question if anyone is still checking this thing out.
Say in the future (maybe 2 years) I upgrade my cpu to something that will be fairly good at that time (maybe in the ~250 range). If I get the 4850, would I be able to buy another one...
Excellent discussion guys--thanks a bunch. I think I've gotten a good picture of the situation, and Toyota I really appreciate the in-depth explanation. It looks like a 4850 is the way to go, given that Termie points out it gives twice the performance of my 7950GT (not that I'm doubting you...
Sylvanas, I see your point, and in reality if the price points call for a much better card for a relatively insignificant price increase, I'll probably do it.
But what I really wanted to know was which card to get that would maximize performance without wasting a bunch of that card's...
I haven't been playing anything recently released, so uber performance isn't necessary--just decent performance to play some older games. I'm mostly playing WoW right now, along with some C and C3 and HL2. When I get out of grad school I'll upgrade again, but that's not for 5 more years. I just...
I purchased my card on in Feb of 2007 off of newegg, pretty sure I did not register. Question-- where do you find that it is an -AR card? I saw that in their warranty info, but couldn't find what type of card mine was...
I was looking at their support website, but couldn't find the warranty info pertinent to my card. Thanks for the tip spike and slowspyder--I'll double check right now
I would like to once again call upon the wisdom of AToTers if I may.
My EVGA GeForce 7950GT seized up on me yesterday morning, and is now completely dead. I need some suggestions for a new one. My primary concern is longevity--in terms of maximizing my current gaming rig without upgrading...
I did, but it didn't seem to help. I am now running off of a 12 year old video card, since about 20 minutes ago when my screen froze and red-squigglied my ass three times in a row, and upon soft reboot didn't get past the windows welcome screen before my monitor showed nothing but rainbow...
Hey all,
I need some help with my system. Earlier today my computer started to randomly freeze up, with the monitor showing faintly vertical red lines. Only a reboot would solve the problem (always temporarily, for more or less time). At startup, the post screen showed vertical artifacts as...
I like the look of the Toshiba too. As for the extra usb and firewire, doubt she'll use the latter and I can always get her a $10 hub if she needs more usb slots. She will also be using an external mouse-- so you're right, the scroll zone, while it would be nice to have, is not a deal breaker...
Just wondering if you guys who know laptops can take a second and look at these two laptops for me. I'll be getting one of them for my sister, and my number one concern is reliability. She'll literally only be using it for surfing the internet and school stuff-- don't worry about the RAM, if I...
So I have a bunch of tv episodes in avi form, and I want to burn them to dvd so I can watch them on a different computer. I realize that I could just use the network, but I'd also like to have a backup in case something happens. I am an idiot when it comes to burning, so i'm looking for some...
you assumed correctly. I'm not knowledgeable enough about either to split such a fine hair as elite mma vs. random seal, as i dont know the nature of the difference in skill levels between an "elite" seal and random one.
