That's a really god link. I had no idea that there were so many DCs out there I had no idea of! Thx Space!!

:beer::D:beer:


EDIT:

Actually, I think this site is just great. What do you folks think about adding a link to it into our welcome thread. I mean, the site doesn't rate or criticiseany projects, it just gives a great overview over what is out there. I couldn't think of a better spot to send new people to besides Wolfraider's and borg's sites.

I emailed the host of that site asking for permission to add the link here but I also told him that it's not a final thing yet and that we in TA have to discuss this first. I just wanted to make sure he has no objection to a link before I even ask you folks here.

I have always liked that Site.

I don't see why it shouldn't be added, its well laid out and easy to understand.

Actually Spacehead came up with it not me. And after some more investigation I also found that amdxborg has a link to that site on his site as well. I just never saw it.

I guess as soon as I get mail from the host of that site and his permission (hopefuly) I'll PM the mod if nobody has any concerns against it.

I just checked out the site and it is most comprehensive and does not seem to be connected to any other team.

My only concern is how would Mike (Wolfsraider) and Johan (amdxborg) feel about adding that link to our TeAm Welcome thread? They have both gone to great lengths to promote TeAm AnandTech ... and even though I see where Mike has already given an affirmative response I surely wouldn't want to hurt any feelings.

Just throwing my 2 cents into the mix. ;)

I can assure you Smoke, neither Mike nor Johan have a problem with that link. I talked to both of 'em and they are totally fine with it. I'd never do a link like that without asking my teammates beforehand.

I don't think andxborg will mind since he already has a link to it on his site.

One note, If it helps promote the team I'll always be all for it (provided its in a good light) :p

I just got answer from Kirk, the host of distributedcomputing.info and he has no onjection to a link!

...

I would be grateful if you would add a link to my site in your welcome thread.
The more people know about my site, the happier I am :)

...

I do try very hard to
describe DC projects
objectively, because I want people to try projects for themselves and to form
their own opinions, and I appreciate it when other sites refer to mine as a
reference site.

...


Well, I guess we have all we need. PM to mod is on the way.
