I built an athlon box (2200) with a nifty ati raedon 9700 pro, a gig of ram..., and a nifty optical mouse, it makes me happy no more cleaning the gunk out.... My rig still costs more then my comp and my car put together... so I'm not that geeky... right?

But now, let's get really geeky:

Who here has built their own single-board computer, wire-wrapped it on a breadboard, and written Assembler for it?



Does gate chasing CRC circuits with an oscope count? How many remember when binary subtraction wasn't done with one's complement and a negative number would ruin your day... but just by a little...

Little more detail, now that I have time.

Just built the dual Opteron. It's 1.6 Ghz x 2. Using the MSI K8 Master2 motherboard. 2 GB RAM 333 Mhz DDR. I do video editing on the side, just for fun, but got roped into a huge project by my wife. She "volunteered" me to create a highlights video for my son's football team, and the DVD would be handed out at the awards ceremony. Well, there are 35 players and coaches, and they played 10 games this season, so this little job has turned into more than 100 hours of editing. As revenge, I told my wife that I needed "a bit more computing power" and needed to upgrade. I've been itching to play with the Opterons.

I've been playing with dual processing systems for a while now, and although I know that there is not much cost advantage to having them, the geek factor is just too much to pass up.B|

I also bought the Plextor 708A 8x DVD+R burner. It is dual format and will burn DVD-R at 4x, also. Nice burner.

If money were really no object, the disk subsystem would be all SCSI, but SCSI drives just cost too much, so I'll stick with SATA for now.

Wife does tons of graphic design with Photoshop and Illustrator, so the dual Athlons help out tremendously with her work. I set her up with dual monitors also (2x 19" CRTs), so she got a big desk, too.;) I'm looking to move to LCD monitors, but the colors seem somewhat off for the work she does, so she doesn't want to go there, yet.

I love being a geek. Now all I need to do is start jumping again and it will all be perfect. Anyone figure out how to get 72 hours in a day, yet?

IBM wouldn't let them use their name so the went ONE STEP BACKWARDS in the alphabet, not forwards. If they went forward it would of been JCN. HAL was rerun just the other night, the voice still creeps me out..........


Always remember, when you get where you're going, there you are!

HAL --> for each letter go one step forwards in the alphabet --> IBM.



As you can see, I'm going forwards from HAL. Then you can go backwards from IBM if you like.:P

Thanks for trying to correct a perceived mistake I supposedly made 11 months ago, though. Where the hell did you dig up this thread??:D

Kris,

I've seen some SATA drives that can easily hold their own against SCSI - and have a smaller CPU footprint. The only downside is that you can have one device per channel.

Same here - which one?

I do the most of my work these days from my Toshiba P4 1.6Ghz 256mb RAM over a Wireless G connection.

There are over 10 homebuilt computers in my house over two floors. Anything from an old 486 up to this P4 and AMD Barton based systems.
