    OK,,OK,,OK,, Then I'll take the role of the Devil's Advocate (someone has to do it). I squirmed in my seat when I saw Sam's post of a 128GB SSD for $127.95. http://www.buy.com/prod/kingston-128gb-ssdnow-v100-series-2-5-sata-ii-solid-state-drive/q/loc/101/218194460.html The SS Drive Sam...

    Thanks Sam for the follow-up, forgive me for assuming it was an issue with the X4 slot. I'm truly surprised that the issue is with the BLUE slot, but with that knowledge I'd have to be the first to agree you have a bad MB, sorry to hear that but it appears ASUS is going to make it right and your...

    Now we all know, Boli's on DRUGS,,, ROFL. :D optionman31601: I think you could save yourself a ton of money on this build, maybe half the amount of your posted pick list. I wanted to offer my opinion of these components, nothing more, you can take what you want and leave the rest so to...

    Sam, how about posting what your finished build actually consists of. Your Parts List is spread out over several pages and it's a bit hard to follow. Honestly, I doubt you've tried "everything," but maybe you have. I believe I'm safe in saying we're all still here to help, but you have to...

    I wish I'd seen this post earlier Tiki. A few preparations I've learned when facing the possibility of a prolonged power outage are: 1. Make a pot of coffee the night before and put it in a thermos, or have a "camping type" percolator you could put on a gas grill. And don't forget to grind up...

    Since Boli has "names" for all his computers I wanted to through my hat in the ring and suggest a name for Sam's build. Keying off the above quote I thought, The Son of Sam might be appropriate. :) TIKITRADER, I thought I'd take you up on the opportunity to post a pick of my resent AMD build...

    Sam To be "paired" (in dual mode,,, right? ) each pair of modules needs to be in the blue OR black slots ..... correct? Not the two slots (1) blue (1) black closest to the CPU. Check out, page 3 http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/ASUS-P8P67-PRO-Motherboard/1355/1

    Sam I'm sure you've checked most of what I'm going to say but, maybe not. I agree, this should be first to create a starting point. Did you "plug" your HDD into the turbo socket? I don't think that's necessary if your not into OCing same for the Anti-surge, this can come later. I'd connect...

    Pictures of your trading stations

    This is a really nice looking workspace jaybo. But tell me, what's running what? I only see one keyboard and one mouse, very nice :) . And tell me about the Black Box on the left, it looks intimidating :D .

    Or, if you have a phone or TV/cable outlet already in the room you can use that wire/cable to pull a new Cat cable into the same box.

    What the hell's the modem doing in the laundry room???? Do you have TV/ISP cable in your office space? Do you own the house? Are you limited to one ISP/TV cable connection, do you have cable outlets in other rooms (office behind the desk?)? I don't understand not moving the modem or...

    Yes, mostly. I've learned a lot from your posts here on ET, I for one am glad you're here. :) Celsius or Fahrenheit hot is hot! I'm using a stock cooler and fan which speeds up when things get cooking. My temps are fine, but wanted to stress the importance of the ambient temperature. I keep...

    Bolimomo Just to be clear so there's no confusion, are you using the same box (case) for Box 1 & 2? Aren't you using the Antec P183 case? Do you use the same case fan set-ups? I bought one of these for my daughters and it's been moved dozens of times (dorms, apartment,house) and has held...

    This pick list has many areas where more thorough evaluation of each component may prove beneficial, in performance, total cost and your personal expectations/desires. One such example, "........I hate the sounds of fans" this set-up as listed, includes eight fans. :eek:
