Hail Haulers,

Perhaps, if you weren't so busy messing about in our Mystery HQ you would notice when the enemy doth approach. But, I can't say your lack of focus upsets me. It's actually quite encouraging. I'm just here to say I wouldn't worry about the Foofies. We'll have a new leader soon enough. One with some big shoes to fill to be sure. And, then your day of reckoning will be near. That you can be sure of. So, enjoy today, whoop it up in the Haul, party like there is no tomorrow. Because there won't be; not for the Haul at least. Bwha ha ha ha!!!

Perhaps that was a bit over the top?

Yeah I suppose that's a decent computer.

For me though... that's not good enough. ;)

I build all my own PCs and my current PCs are....


Gateway/Server/Burn Station

This PC functions as an Internet Gateway providing Internet to LAN computers. It functions as a Personal Webserver (which I currently not running). It occasionally functions as a Game Server for UT, JK2, Q3A, MTA-VC (Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Multiplayer), Counter-Strike, or Day of Defeat. It also contains my Burner. It runs any software which I do not want to load down my Main PC which I use for Gaming like Norton System Works (with Anti-Virus), Zone Alarm Pro (Firewall), and anythign I need to do my downloading. This system runs 24/7.

AMD K6-II 450 MHz
256 megs PC133 SDRAM
Asus P5A Motherboard
3DFX Voodoo 4 4500 AGP 32mb of RAM
SBLive!
20gb Fujitsu ATA33 5400RPM harddrive (Main)
1.6gb WesternDigital 5400RPM Harddrive (In Removeable Harddrive Rack - simple pull out and put different drive in without opening case.)
3.5" Floppy
8x DVD-ROM
16x10x40x CD-RW
56k ISA AOpen Modem (used for Faxes)
2 NICs (Internet in then out the other to the 8 port switch)
keyboard and mouse
Running Windows 2000 Pro SP4 .

I'm in the process of aquiring parts and will be upgrading it to an Athlon (Thunderbird) 1000 Mhz and ECS K7S5A Pro motherboard.


Gaming Rig

This PC functions solely as a PC to game on and mass storage for my Music, Movies, Games, etc. It only runs when I need it to.

AMD Athlon XP 1800
512 megs PC2100 DDR SDRAM
Abit KR7A-Raid Motherboard
ATi Radeon 9000 Pro 128mb of RAM
SBLive!
40gb Maxtor ATA133 7200RPM harddrive (Main - I wish I hadn't bought Maxtor for that drive.)
80gb Western Digital Caviar Special Edition ATA100 7200RPM 8mb Cache (Storage)
3.5" Floppy
16x DVD-ROM
NIC
Removable Harddrive Rack (In front of case, easy access to install a temp harddrive without opening case)
Kickass speakers w/ sub
Kickass keyboard and mouse
Running Windows XP SP1

At some point I'll be building a new PC and this PC will be come the Gateway/Server/Burnstation.


Also.... I forget who but someone a while back suggested i should head over to Sailer Eagles Forums or something. That will likely never happen. If someone does want to get a hold of me I can be found at (http://www.3dxl.com) other than that i'm around here from time to time when I get a chance. :)
