cables wouldn't do me any good... I'm hardwiring jacks in the walls. Plus I already have plenty of shorter cables

I'm going to be wiring the network in my new house fairly soon. I've been looking around for Cat6 cable and I'm not really sure where to get it from, as well as what else I'll need... I need about 500ft of cable, preferrably shielded Cat6, maybe stranded as well? (Not sure if this would be better or not in my case...) I would like a patch panel, 12 ports ought to do it. As for tools, I don't know what I'll need. Any suggestions/recommendations/tips? On another note, I'm also looking for around 500ft of RG6 cable...

that's </3 I think...

I think your ISP might be blocking pings...

I think it was a typo and it's 9.00 or something...

I can see how that could confuse some people, but I would think anyone fairly perceptive should realise what it means :- honestly I never thought of child meaning young myself... maybe it's because of programming.

it'd had better be an extremely good fan for $90

lol yea, I got it on a half off sale. ps- there's a smily for that

you gotta look for the deals I got mine for $40 over half a year ago. (MX1000)

You should've got a laser mouse from Logitech. Keyboard looks cool though.

how about turning off all visual effects and try this

with a Dell... F2 should be setup, F12 should be the boot menu.

It might be an ATI eHome Wonder... I know those have a Conexant chip. I think it's an ATI at any rate, they have drivers on their site.

If I could afford one I would

I had installed the beta 2 a couple months ago... when I tried to uninstall it to install this one the installer crashed and I had to do some registry editing so I could do reinstall it and do anything IE related... </long pointless sentence> I still prefer FF

Well, I'm using Intel in all my pcs... but I don't do much gaming. All sound encoding, video encoding, etc... I don't have heat issues either. (Although that might be because of my pimp cooler... lol.. I don't have any temperature sensors that I can read with the cpu, but I can get a temp from the base of the heatsink.)

I'll probably be on as well if you need some help... <---

Now, if it takes that much just to run Vista, what happens when you want to play a demanding game? ahh, how much easier on the hardware Linux is...

great

testing testing works fine for me...

The signal isn't harmful partly because of the frequency and the signal strength... it's about the same as your average cordless phone. Cell phones, radios (like the 800MHz police radios), etc are bad because of the high signal strength... they go miles compared to the 1/5 of a mile line of sight or so max for a wireless router.

You could listen to music stored on the main computer from another.. if you want to control the computer look into using a program like RealVNC

I find it slightly amusing in an odd way... I've never had a drive die in years of messing with computers, then 3 die within a week of eachother...

it's dying... still hanging in but I don't think there's much left for it. I'm starting to get read errors, drive not ready for command, dma timeout, odd noises... I think I can get it replaced under warranty but I'm not sure. I also had a 4 month old Seagate die, and a Maxtor that's about a year a half old.
