  1. Is that all on gigabit?
  2. Why not connect it to an NSLU2?

    Sad :(

    I still have a 6800GT - plays Half-Life 2 beautifully... I'll upgrade when I move... DX10 is essential for the next card
  4. Third link down eh? Thanks for the tip Malware ahoy!
  5. My guess is that thegrassisgreener is a school kid and one of you lot banned him from the internet at some point and he's upset...
  6. He would be the only one I've seen on this forum to ask a question without any attempt to hide the fact that it's illegally obtained software and then try and use 'geek' as an insult... ...I'm not even getting into his dreadful use of CAPS or starting multiple threads...
  7. Thanks Tom - they should be useful
  8. LOL! Didn't know you could get an exchange from torrent sites!
  9. I'd look at a way of enabling access in particular areas of the school or after the school day... They're a nightmare to have available - the staff too! Have you got a single network? How are you blocking content?
  10. thanks! Can't find a stick now
  11. ...still don't think thegrassisgreener should be asking for information about burning illegally obtained software on this forum. It's not even a grey area - I genuinely can't think of a way that anyone would obtain a dmg of an operating system and not be breaking the law - and know that they are breaking the law. (Then he's rude and hits the CAPS key...) @ thegrassisgreener - your attitude stinks.
  12. Windows XP disc? Then make an image for next time... Have you tried installing with the .msi?
  13. ooohh.. Didn't make the link - suppose you could hook it up to an NSLU2 for the same thing a bit cheaper...
  14. Starcraft! It'll run on anything (I know it's limited to 8 players but you'll soon get a tornament going if they find it nearly as addictive as I did!)
  15. Would love a squeezebox... MIGHT be able to justify
  16. Gonna invest in a NSLU2 to save my electricity bill from crippling my account with the new mortgage! Must be able to play from NAS - don't worry about computer
  17. No speaker output that I can see - very pretty little box - bit like a TomTom
  18. Might be able to do that actually - my aunt lives perm in California...

    What is termed good for £80 that runs crysis? 8600GT? http://www.ebuyer.com/product/131121
  20. If your budget would stretch to it: http://www.drobo.com Up to four drives - hot swappable... Just waiting for the NAS version... USB only
  21. I will be moving shortly and one of the things that I never got round to sorting out at my old house was a decent audio setup... just after suggestions to do all of the following: #Play at least mp3 up to 320kbps (ideally play FLAC as this is most of my live recordings) #Have a remote control #Have a 'shuffle' play #Stream from one or more locations on more than one network locations #Have a screen (as large as possible - NOT TV) #Connect to an encrypted wireless network. I already run a couple of XBMCs for TV and films but just want a simple, neat box to sit on top of my amp and receive my music. I've been looking at all sorts of projects - hackaday has one that's just a mini-ITX PC and that's a bit overkill I think... A couple of 'it-would-be-nice-if' features #connect two media streamers together to sync music around the house #internet radio stations #cheap () Any suggestions appr. I've been looking for a little while now and nothing seems elegant enough - If I was a consumer electronics company...

    Blogs

    Wordpress or Livejournal - I'd judge it by how many friends you have on each... I prefer LJ because I can keep track of friends blogs on there...

    We've got three SLIs in teaching computers here... not sure why... 2 x 7900GT 1 x 8800GTX LOL!
  24. My guess would be that it's related to the chance that you might leave it in a taxi or something. Your home is also at a higher risk of being broken into, likely with less CCTV etc... We have a fireproof safe on site in another building...
