Sorry no bikini pics. Too chilly tonight. Matter of fact it's cold enough to light a fire but we're all out of wood.

This QX6700 o/c to 3.6+ with 1.5V would make a nice heater. :Q

Wait a minute.... you've got this kind of kicka$$ gaming hardware but never used it?? :confused: Um... why???


cute butt btw :p

Because I was waiting for the rest of the stuff.

The Xeons are for my brother (along with that slow video card!). He's building some kind of VR server for second city or whatever he calls it. I still say he's wanking porno. :Q

He got two quads and found out he couldn't use them together so I got one! :) Should've gotten quad Xeons eh? His money not mine. He'll probably buy quads, hexes, octopussies whatever the next thing is called anyway next year. But he got a X1900XTX! hahahahaha!

I don't care there is nothing worth backing up. Those are for speed only. Just like a double blown big block.

Nice thing is if a disk kicks off, just shrink the array and hit the bootp image server. That's on a 10gb NAS and the system is back online in minutes. The only thing that complains is the adobe crap because of the drive volume change and it wants to reactivate.

The important stuff is kept safe and backed up in different places in the world. Nada a problem. :)

So long as you got a plan. Funnily enough I'm waiting on five SCSI 15k drives to arrive, to add to my other three :)

We got a bunch of those too! 146GB Hitachi 15K SAS drives. They are going to set up a RAID61 array which is brand new. SAS is getting quite popular now.

Don't you hate how that works. You should get a refund for driving well.

Whoa :Q Even more toys!!
What is all this stuff for? With that kind of storage & processing power I'm guessing video editing using raw .EVO or .VOB files?

Let see, DVD movies and PC games in my case.

I have about 300 or more DVD movies <I think, didn't bother to count, so many of them> that I bought new <mostly from BB or CC>. Most of them are on sale <$10 or less>. I probably watched about 20 of them or less.

I have about 100 or more PC games and most, if not all, of them are still in factory plastic seals.

Ditto for the poster about car insurance. I haven't use it for the last 10 years. I never used my health insurance either, except for dental <knock on wood>.

Oh, almost forgot. I bought a Pioneer home stereo receiver for $150 new last year and it still in the factory sealed box.

<<<------- guilty at buying electronic stuffs on sale that not really needed.

Much further to the right on the map and you would fall in the Atlantic Ocean. ;)

I bought a body kit that has been sitting in the garage for some time now.

For what car? I had a fiberglass sports car body for a Volks frame, traded it for a jeep needing engine work.

Mitsubishi Lancer. It's special because the rear bumper is JDM, which may not sound that special... except I don't think hardly anyone in the US has it.

That's not just any tape, that's JDM Racing Tape!
