News from the Land of Nod

Yup, it's a cooked BIOS. Shop took it back, under warranty, to send to the MFR for repair/replacement - the only downside is that it'll be gone a month. This, due to my ingrained geekitude addiction, ain't gonna fly.

Enter NewEgg Computers, my current source for most hardware stuffs, and the Epox 8RDA+. I'm hoping to have it by this weekend, along with the Koolance goodness.

What this means to you, my adoring public (*cough, cough*):

A) I'm gonna be relatively quiet for the, since home access is pretty limited (email only)
B) I'm gonna have hardware to sell (a freshly-fixed Epox 8K3A, and some other stuff)

I don't hate you. I will, however, be dedicating my CPU cycles, at home and work, to this. I'm the team lead, so if anyone wants to join up and become a peripheral crypto geek, shoot me an email or click the Join This Team link. (assuming, of course, I can remember what the password is. . . senility is the best form of encryption going. heh)

I might be looking for some NIC's, possibly your cdrw as well.


I recently acquired a signifigant hardware upgrade at home, A Dell Poweredge 2500 server (no shit, don't ask how). Running Win2k server as I'm not interested in putting RedHat on the son of a bitch, but I'm looking for some goodies. Hub, few nics, that sort of thing.

What the story on the tower you have? And the mainboard?

oh, there is one other mainboard, but it comes with an asterisk - a Soyo SY-7VCA (for P3 - socket 370), but the IDE headers on it are shot (i have both a single-channel ISA and dual-channel PCI ATA-100 controller to facilitate using this sucker)

mobo story: once it comes back from the mfr/shop, repaired, i'm not going to have much use for it.

case: trid has expressed interest in it (see previous thread), pending negotiations. the nics, however, are pretty much caveat-free. :-)

you're aware that this is a SCSI CD-RW drive, right? just checkin.

i can bring it to C9 iff'n ya wants, along with that copy of S/D/H for ya.

[ashengrace.livejournal.com]

Right on. Sounds like me may be chatting in the near future bout the NIC's at least.
