I was on another forum and out of the clear blue got hit with a BSOD. Never had that happen before.
Viper, prices are going down and Intel is going to drop 50% according to CNet. So that should help. Found Win98SE for $99 today. OEM version.

Greengoose1,
I'm so sorry. That was a gag BSOD I made for the show I was doing over there. You didn't crash. Just close the window with the blue screen. Here it is again:

I should have made the disclaimer at the bottom a little larger. My apologies...there is nothing wrong with your computer.

Yeah, I heard/read about the 50% cut somewhere. Maybe it's time to consider trying a P4 once the chipsets that will support DDR-RAM come out (this fall?) - provided they don't drown in lawsuits..?

Good Morning All,
Been getting ready for the two new threads. These will start later today. Operation Delta 3-001 and Weekly Subject - Chipsets and Controllers will be the titles.
maxxmilian, Should have caught the "gag" but missed the fine print. LOL
kallikru, I do not believe prices have bottomed out as yet, but in looking at the markets now is a good time to start buying with one condition. Get familiar with the components market. We can all help each other by advising one another as to what you find each week. This would give us an independent view to compare with say Price Watch.com, Sharkey's, etc. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
sarkazztic, After building 15 units, you are not only going to have an experience, but we will want your comments also. Ever been drafted? You have been now. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Thanks Train, for the info.
I am going to be able to save the threads intact, including being able to click on the links in the individual posts. I will back up at least once a day. As a result we cannot lose more than a half a day to a days work. And we can reconstruct that easily enough. Both new threads will be done this way. The original Operetion Delta Threads and Weekly Subject Threads will be done the same way.
This will be the start of a quick reference and resources library for our members. Will take a while to set up. Got this idea from Train in case we need to blame anyone later on. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
The challenge is to have fast retrieval of information.
For example, Bistro explained how to attach a fan to a cpu. Can anyone dig that out quickly? SDTech had a short explanation on burners. How long will it take you to find?
Think on this and if you have any ideas to further this effort, please post.
Later https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Seems like more info was lost than we thought. Interesting.
I am now saving this thread for the last time as our two new threads are about to start. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

I'm a new member of the site so I'm not quite sure where or if I fit in here, but I'm gonna put my 2 cents worth in anyway. (Egad, why does a keyboard not have a cents symbol.....!?!?!) VEE DOC ROCKS,BY THE WAY---LOVE IT, and spending a good portion of my online time here. Anyway, this post comes courtesy of my recent vintage homegrown system. It is a dual boot 98SE/W2K box, Partition Magic along for the ride as well, with more OS's to be added shortly. (Whadda I feel like playing with and learning about today!?!?!?!) Three things I absitively and posilutely hate--Windows ME and America Online, viruses that they are. Packard Bell would be the third--have you checked out their website lately?! BWAAAA HAAAA HAAAA HAAAA HAAAA. What a pathetic joke--yeah I made the innocent first timer Packard Bell mistake myself. SHUT UP!!!STOP LAUGHING!!!PLEASE!!! Which brings me back to my new system. I did my homework this time around, determined not to make the same mistake twice. So, with no further ado, my system consists of Asus A7M266 MoBo, T'Bird 1.2 GHz CPU, Maxtor Diamond Max 60 series 40 Gigabyte HD, 256 MB of PC 2100 RAM (already wishing I had 512 MB, poweruser that I am), ATI Radeon VE graphics card, Creative 56K Modem Blaster, Creative MP3+ sound card (hardware identical to X-Gamer Live--software bundle is the only difference between the two), Plextor 12-10-32RW CD burner, Antec midtower case w/300 Watt power supply, HD cooler, with CD-ROM and HD from the Packard Smells as slave drives, and 19" monitor, with a DirectPC (Phone uplink return version--too many DSL Reports horror stories of the 2 way system being not quite ready for prime time) broadband dish to come, since it's the only high speed internet option available in my area. See, I told ya I did my homework!!! Anyway, I built this system from the ground up with no help, so based on that I feel ok about jumping headlong into this thread.

Rednek,
Before gg1 get his eyes open I'll hurry and welcome you aboard. Anyone may give their two cents - this is, after all, an open board.
We expect the less experienced to ask the questions and the more experienced to answer the best they can. Hopefully everybody learns something.
These threads may sometimes seem like a club gathering but that is not the case. You could say people are just "waiting for the next question" and so embark on some smaller off-topic explanations and discussions - it's often quite fun. Just blend in...

Ditto on what kallikru and GG1 said redneck tek. Everyone has a contribution to make. As kallikru said, those who know less can (should) ask questions. The more knowledgeable people try to provide answers. And sometimes even correct answers. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
So join in as you see fit. All are welcome (except Emachine of course).

Bookmark your post to make it easier to find.
And remember, please post back whether the problem is resolved or not.
Thanks guys. Kallikru has already gotten me out of one predicament. I know I am in good company here, which is why I like the site so much. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
