  1. QUOTE(SD>Big @ Feb 1 2007, 03:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>in my experience with form factor pc's... all i can say is make sure its vented well! in the past 2 months i've seen 3 of them suffer heat issues. although the one i did come across that worked well was an XPC and it had a full sized case fan in it.Yeah. Shuttle's are specially designed to handle heat. They come with a special heatsink that blows all the hot air that comes off the cpu right out of the case. 1 fan blows through a heatpiped heatsink into another fan sized to the heatsink and enclosing it blowing the air right out. So the heat that normally comes off the heatsink is greatly diminished. Also, they're designed with the right sized fans, layout, and ventilation to keep it cool. Running it with the cover off the case will actually cause it to heat up, that is how well designed it is. Yeah, I've done a lot of research on em
  2. If I actually sell off my old stuff, I'll get a Core 2 Duo.
  3. $50 to me right now is A LOT. And I'd rather get the E6400
  4. What i'm building Shuttle SD37-P2-BK Intel Pentium D Presler 3.0ghz 2x 1gb Kingston DDR2 PC5300 eVGA GeForce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express + Current 80gb Seagate Barracuda SataII HD and Sony DVD Burner Ever since I 1st played on one like 2yrs ago I've always wanted to build a Shuttle XPC. So much power in a small package. I don't need a super computer, so a Pentium D will do me fine. Raw Power (PD) vs Smart Power (C2D), I'm fine with the cheaper Raw. 7600GT should do me fine for the little gaming I do.
  5. So, I decided that I'm more tired of having a pos barely running computer than not having new rims and tires for my car. Well, if I upgrade, gonna sell off my old !@#$%^&*, just curious on interest. Sapphire Radeon 9550SE 256mb AGP 8x Video Card Plays a lot of games on actually rather high settings with a low end processor. Quake4, NFSMW, HLF2, BF2, no issues on Med-High settings at 1024x768. 1gb Kingston? PC3200 Ram with Heat Spreader 512mb PQI PC3200 Ram 512mb PQI PC3200 Ram 512mb PQI PC3200 Ram Rhycon 400 or 450watt (Gonna have to tear into it) Power Supply Dynapower 400 watt Power Supply P4 2.4ghz Socket 478 w/ Heatsink - Ran great before upgraded my grandmother's computer, but that was almost 1yr ago, not sure, would sell for next to nothin. 1 Socket 478 Intel Stock Heatsink 6 80mm Case Fans - gonna scrap the case, unless anyone really wants it. Probably tons of other !@#$%^&* that'd I could find that'd be useless to me, so no issue unloading. I know I have 2 more power supplies just sittin around, and an old Antec case I bought for $100 like 2 or 3yrs ago. Unreal Tournament 2004 - Pretty much new in box, barely ever played Simcity 3000 Unlimited Simcity 4 Grand Theft Auto Vice City Yeah, if interest shows, I may dig up some other stuff too.
  6. I tried - recharge once, crashed Subgame, ha. Might be different now, was almost 5yrs ago (Wow, I feel sad saying that).
  7. Would be possible with ASSS, but Subgame is too basic for that bro. Nice idea though.
  8. I had disabled that, but it sometimes will still do it. I'll look into the issue.
  9. Biller -> Subgame -> Client. Biller never makes a solo connection to the client as far as I've understood it, and read from packets, and how subspace protocol is laid out. Now looking through ASSS, there is a lot of unknown or unlabeled packets transfered through from biller to client and vice versa. So no doubt, one of these may be the mystery packet. But the point is, that ASSS could send the packet to the player, or add the packet at the right point. When found, I don't think this should be made public, as it does have purpose. It would be nice to maybe code 1 solid public biller with it, and allow any non-ssc zone on a dedicated connection to connect to it. IE: No home hosted zones, or crap like that. But zones who's hosts are actually taking the time and money to help out, and deserve to be centralized in some way.
  10. Just make sure you get Most Wanted, not Carbon. Told a guy to try it out, and when he went to the store he got carbon, cause he saw it was the newest, and realized why I told him not to. I got it, and it is alright, but tooo much story to it. Most Wanted has some story, but it is mostly just Underground + Hot Persuit combined. Not only have to beat races to be able to race the next driver, but also have to get bounty, cop chase times, etc. Carbon is semi the same from what i've played so far, but feels like a lot of story. Was all just "Text Messages" and "Phone Calls" in Most Wanted, very little video story. Sorry, I've just always been a NFS Freak.
  11. Need For Speed: Most Wanted, Battlefield2, and Madden 2k7.
  12. I got it down to a couple of packets the SSC biller sends to the client that Non-SSC billers don't seem to. I plan to test it again with the default biller, used cat's last time, and see if I can't find the packet differences between those as they'll probably be closer. Just need to see if GS will give me another SSC slot to do it, cause I see no harm trying to fix and move on with the things Priit has left behind.
  13. It wouldn't be the issue of brain, as much the issue of the server ops. I was told it was Steigerwald and Budweis0r? With recent issues with Halo, their names probably aren't on the top of the list of the SSC's caring corner.

  15. Thanks guys. It was just a !@#$%^&*ty day, and night, and I came here to PMs of people whinin and !@#$%^&*in about !@#$%^&*, and it wasn't really what i needed. Doing better today. It just didn't have the full impact til yesterday, seeing his gf finally just breakdown in out of control crying. And seeing men cry and barely be able to finish their toast to him, it just got to everyone. We we're all happy and drinking and having a good time like he had wanted it to be, but when it was all over, like most of us who've talked today have said, it kind of just finally hit ya, he wasn't there having a good time with us all. And then the other deaths, just piled onto it, like why... But i'll be cool, and i'll drop in still, but just not in the mood to deal with people and their !@#$%^&* right now. So take it elsewhere, or shove it.
  16. Just need some time away. I haven't actually cried in as long as I can remember as much as I have today. It didn't hit me how much I missed my friend Mike until everyone was together, and I realized in full, he wasn't there, and never would be again. I mean !@#$%^&*, my eyes are all blurry typing this. I've never seen so many grown men cry, myself included. Probably 50-60 people, and not a single dry eye in the building. I've lost a friend, a great aunt, and a great grandmother in just 8 days time. My mom always told me Everything Has a Reason, but what is this reason? How do you reason so much death? I just don't want my emotions to get the best of me when someone pisses me off. Out for now.
  17. Environmentalist groups are just a bunch of wack jobs most the time. It is when you have thousands of Scientists saying the world is getting warmer that you believe it. Not all say it is causing our current weather problems, but most who don't, do say it is something that could be theoretically true, and they won't accept or deny it.
  18. I still have hopes that one day I may find a back-up.
  19. No, it's in the keyboard hardware itself if I remember right. Pretty much something you just have to learn to live with and work around. Could try that, never heard of anyone trying it, but lemme know how it goes.
  20. Yeah. My only gut feeling is that i'm going to have to develop the site offsite just to get it done and running. Which is going to be a pain, but seems like how it'll have to be done. I'm tired of going to DoCk>, and just want to have full control over my own enviroment.
  21. Not exactly expensive. Like $30 can even get you one that will allow it. But as Drake said, a laptop, which i've heard many giving the same key errors, as most of em aren't really MADE for gaming, but can be used for it.
  22. Honestly, in time was my plan. I'd like to begin offering hosting to all the major zones at cheap prices. Make things easier on them, and just ask they show the navbar (once debuged). But right now, my main priority is just getting SSCentral together, and I don't need server changes and issues screwin things up. So if Dedicated is how we have to go, that's how we go. Just need a solution for ourselves again, something solid, and little downtimes/issues.
  23. Can I do like we do now? With subdomains having their own control panels? That is my main concern. It frees me up to do as I need, and allows them to add/do what they need.
  24. I dunno. Some of it I liked, other parts I didn't. I'm glad to hear that for once our Congress and President don't agree, and they are trying to do something about it. The statement that we will decrease our gas usage by 20% by 2010, I see happening, but I don't think anything forecoming will have any sort of direct effect on it. It's kind of a trend already in place. I know myself, I use to spend $60/week on gas, driving my old cutty (3.8L V6 Carb Auto), and now with my accord (2.0L V4 FI 5spd), I spend $30 every 2-2.5weeks, if that. Just put $10 in, and it'll probably last me 2 weeks easy with my driving habits as of late. Top that off with more and more Hybrids I see driving around, and more Foreign cars/Small Domestics, and it's going to make a huge impact.
  25. And we hate you too That sucks. Worse I had was belts, and it wasn't just being a beating. I was a mischievous kid, i'll admit it. Me and my bros all have the scars, s!@#$%^&*ches, and doctors records to prove it, haha. [offtopic] !@#$%^&*, I got one spot on my leg, like 4x3 on the backside, where i had a solid 3/4in bolt slammed into it. LOOOONG story, and it still is scared, and you can feel everything under it didn't heal right. It twisted it all up somehow, and didn't bleed at all. Yet my mom was able to see my bone... So looking back on how many arteries and !@#$%^&* there are there, I consider myself lucky.[/offtopic] But yeah, this topic is going to go off topic quick. So guess we'll just go with the flow.
