And Sam, our resident Shopping King... Please find me some good deals on internal disk drives, 3 TB or above... :)

This is incredible! The Computer Management MSC, if I remember it correctly, used to be only available in the server class of Windows OS (e.g. Windows 2003 Server). Not XP, not Vista. Now they make it available for desktop version in Windows 7.

They can shrink down a partition size now? That's incredible! Ok... the complexity comes in if you want to do something like a dual-boot with different versions of Windows on the same machine/disk. Or boot up Microsoft Windows and Linux OS. Or setting up various virtual environments...

I checked the Passmark score and it seems pretty good. Passmark "Average G3G Mark" GeForce GT 520: 360 Compared to my "benchmark models": Quadro NVS 295: 203 GeForce 8400 GS: 139 http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GT+520...

The task of assembling component parts to make up a PC these days is very simple. There aren't that many parts. Any complexity would come from the software install, BIOS/CMOS settings, sequence of things (e.g. you would need to partition your disk drive before any OS installation)...

Well AVAILABLE TIME is difficult to say. Everybody's time value is different. I wouldn't want to spend time to wash my own dishes either... As far as KNOWLEDGE... I see every unknown as an opportunity to enrich myself. It's a matter of whether it is your interest. RAID 1... mirror...

Take it from me... You can never, ever, have too many monitors! :D (Evil laugh)... For 27-inch monitors... I think without adding resolution (like 2560 x 1600)... a little too coarse when looking at the images close-up. If you use them as a TV, you would typically sit 3 to 4 feet back...

Thank you for the kind words, Went Fishing and Sam. So Sam are you ready to build the box? You have made me very impatient now! LOL :D As it turns out... I have no trip. Postponed til next weekend. So I will be polling ET every 10 minutes this weekend and see if there is any update...

Don't worry... while you may not realize your GPU has been repainting your red and green candles with white borders a few thousand times over every second to keep itself busy...

What are you doing? Stalking me? Do you index and bookmark everything I said??? LOL :D My 3 boxes are all Antec 300. Keep it simple. I like the simple box. So... Tiki uses P183. I didn't walk down the aisle at Fry's far enough! LOL. No actually Fry's doesn't carry it. They no...

I am with Scataphagos. I have a few points: - The Intel i7-2600k chip is almost twice faster than this AMD chip. Unless you get a more comparable AMD model (I am not sure if they have it or what model number). I would bank on the Intel chip for my today's buck. In a year it may be...

Like this one? (ZOTAC GeForce GT 430 ZONE Edition Graphics adapter - 1 GB - DDR3 SDRAM )...

Yes, decent. But a lot of the power for drawing 3D polygons with shading, shadows, translucence is used in drawing 2D candles with a flat red or green color. Okay maybe a white border too. LOL :D

Like this? (ENGT430 DC SL/DI/1GD3) http://usa.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/NVIDIA_Series/ENGT430_DC_SLDI1GD3/#specifications I don't know what "DirectCU" means. Do they have a fan on the top of the card, but only enclosed by an aluminum case? (The air pipe at the tail end... gotta serve a...

RE: Passmark score on i7-2600K = 9897 Hey you guys have high-end horse power... You should donate your unused CPU cycles during non-trading hours to the SETI project! LOL They are re-starting next month I heard. Or to build your own intriguing fractal patterns... :D

Hi obamapips: A SSD will help you in the followings: - Fast Window boot time (but you perhaps only reboot the machine once a day) - Fast application load time (but you probably only start your application only once a day) So the above are not good enough reasons to use a SSD, IMO...

I have been using an Intel X25-V 40 GB SSD (SSDSA2M040G2GC) for a year now. No down time.

I have been running 64-bit for 1.5 year now and I like it. For me, no going back.

If you run 32-bit, you will be limited to 4GB of RAM. That makes your 8GB memory... half of it not usable. Source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778(v=vs.85).aspx#physical_memory_limits_windows_7 "X86" means 32-bit Version Limit on X86 Limit on X64 Windows 7...

Yes that is the idea. Let's compare 1920 x 1080 to 2560 x 1440. 2560 has 640 more vertical lines. About 33% more. So if currently your chart shows 100 days of data on a 1920 x 1080 monitor. On the 2560 x 1440 monitor it should roughly display 133 days on the same chart. The higher...
