So I miniturized my server.

I got a MSI Fuzzy 690T miniITX motherboard from a friend with 1GB of memory. I used the CPU from my desktop (AMD Athlon X2 4600+) and bought a new one for my desktop (AMD Athlon X2 5400+).

It has 4 hard drives:

60GB Windows Drive
160GB Downloads Drive
500GB Media Drive
500GB Backup Drive

and runs Windows 2003 Standard Server.

Here's a pic if it currently:

I just need a case. The lack of a case was the only thing stopping me from migrating from my old one so I decided to just run it like this for now.

My old server is now my parent's desktop. It has a AMD Athlon 3200+ CPU with an ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard and 1GB of RAM.

This is just a rant....
Seriously, Nero "used to be" a pretty good piece of burning software. I stopped using it along time ago when Free open source options became available that are much better in Ripping burning CD's DVD's ans the like..etc..etc.

I happened to notice today that Nero's latest software is 370 MB!!!!!!

what are they putting in there?>

how sad...........


rant over......

Ok, so after hearing my friend's PS3 on surround system my gaming setup seemed somewhat.. lacking. That and you can only watch movies thru the TV's speakers for so long.

So last Saturday I went down to a local electronics store (EHR) and bought a system. I chose one of those no payment/no interest for a year deals since I don't have all the funds right now.

So here is what I got:

• Denon AVR-1909
• Paradigm Cinema 70CTv.3 speaker package which includes:
  • Cinema 70 Fronts and Surrounds
  • Cinema CC Center
  • PDR-8 Subwoofer

The speakers in the links are silver but I have black ones.

I love the receiver, it takes all the analog inputs (component, s-video and composite) and converts it to HDMI so I only have to connect one cable to my TV.

The receiver has a pass-through feature on the HDMI where it will pass-through the last selected HDMI input when the receiver is off, that way I can watch TV without the reveiver on. It...

now if it passes the memtest+ i shall be happy

OK so I'm not going to go into the greatest of details, so here it is in a nutshell

As some of you may have noticed there are times when i have posted some rather strange posts (yes i know out of near 4400 post some where bound to be strange )

Well all I'm going to say at this time is that 15+ years of issues and other problems decided to all come out at once, but i have decided that enough is enough and no one can bottle everything up and be normal, if there is such a thing.

So i have started to seek help that i really should have got ages ago, medication has been upped so its not too bad at the moment, just waiting on psychiatrist appointment which doctor is referring me too.

So hopefully i should be better soon

I will apologize for those rather stupid posts i have done (no not all 4400 odd of them ) i know i should have not been anywhere near a pc in that state, but then again you don't think straight in that...
