I'd be happy to be into it for ~$500, less is of course better.

I'd like it to have enough oomph to run AutoCAD and a few other graphics programs that I use but they really aren't all that resource dependent. But that said I have a pretty strong aversion to buying a prebuilt box for better or worse. I also own a copy of Vista32 Home Basic as well as Office '07 so I should be able to trim most of the software expense out of this purchase.

So my home computer is dying. Well, it's more dead than dying but you get the picture. It's had a good life, some 8 years now, and just can't cope with even the most basic tasks anymore. After installing a fresh OS this weekend and having it struggle for an entire day just trying to auto-update it's become painfully clear that it's time to move on. Basically what I'm thinking about doing is picking up a pre-assembled motherboard/processor/ram bundle from someone like mwave and installing it in a chassis myself. But I don't have the time or patience required to research this stuff much these days so I figured I'd throw it out there and see if anyone has any great ideas. The budget for this is extremely limited unfortunately but thankfully it doesn't need that much in the way of processing power, can be semi-noisy, and I've got the monitor and peripherals taken care of already. And before someone suggests a MAC Mini I've looked into it and I'm not sure it's worth it to me to pay for that much size compression when it really doesn't matter to me. I'm pretty sure I can get a lot more power/$$ through other avenues.

The comparison to SP is a bit out of line but I understand the frustration of waiting. I think Justin is stuck in a tough spot with the BHSE. It'll likely be his least profitable product but requires the most care and attention and huge chunks of time. All I can say is hang in there, I believe the wait is almost over for the folks in the first batch.

Unfortunately I'd wager all too many of them are more willing to spend it on cables than an amp.

Totally cool Mike, I agree with the cleansing.

I LOL'd. I'm going to report one of his for a lack of understanding sarcasm.

Yuck Stretch, that sucks, aren't you supposed to be on vacation?

My google-fu is strong.

It looks like it may be a known issue. T40 display - HTFC Forums

I've actually always wanted an RC airplane but wondered how, exactly, one learns to land.

If I don't do it every week it takes even longer...

No pics today, taking a lunch/water break now.

Nice Mike. Me - just went to fill up the tanks w/ gas so I can start the weekly lawn ritual. Gas, check. Ipod charged, check. ER4Ps, check. We have go, we have go for lawn mowing. See you guys in 3hrs or so.

I think you nailed it this guy doesn't know jack. Ask him to cut a round hole, he's brilliant, otherwise he's clueless. Plus, he's retired.

Amanda Palmer / Muder By Death - 7" Series (Vol. 3)

Pretty decent.

I'm on 2007/2008. I also love the different system requirements for the various versions. For 32-bit AutoCAD LT 2010 # 1 GB RAM # 850 MB free disk space for installation For 64-bit AutoCAD LT 2010 # 2 GB RAM # 1 GB free space for installation

Too bad you'll be searching for software to run. I still can't load AutoCAD on my V64 laptop.

Deepak, In "linear tracking" systems (at least as far as I understand them) the stylus and tonearm remain tangential to the record at all times. I think this picture probably says it better than I can.

I also meant to add 'welcome' to that first message.

I'd respectfully suggest that you re-read the welcome PM. While this post is perfectly fine, it's not exactly a great start. We all like Jack and his products around here.

Personally I pride myself on my perfect record of producing imperfections.
