<(O.o)> Well the desktop isn't really for gaming but it's an older Dual core HP. It was given to me but when I checked the processor, it's just a 1.8Ghz....

I was just wondering about a video card but really it's not for anything big. Will probably just use on-board stuff for my purposes.

again:

What's the max the mobo supports? pcie 2.0?


HP consumer or business, if the latter, which model?

It's a HP RP5700. Looks like it's been sitting in a corner for sometime..



240 watt power. It was just given to me but I'm probably just going to turn it into a Linux box anyway. I really don't have money to just throw it something I am not going to be using anyway.

That's a PC sold for use on POS systems, I've used a similar business model box for years as a desktop, their dual video card should work fine in it.

One of these nvidia Quadro 295's would suit you just fine, and I'm sure there's linux support for it, as it's a very common business card.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/301490295143?lpid=82&chn=ps

I think that one was a dual-dvi one (probably need the adapter to either dual dvi's or vga), they have a dual displayport one, I'm sure they're cheaper in bulk at this point, people selling them in favor of the newer models.

Yeah, it works great, I wouldn't try to play games on it though, although it probably would handle some old school stuff.

I used a similar HP 7900SFF for about a year to do work on, took everything I threw at it, short of it didn't support the technology to run a 64bit virtual machine (ran a 64bit native OS just fine), not sure if that model does though, maybe.

Honestly I could get one and an adapter for free, they're in storage and being phased out as the computers support display port as a secondary output on the integrated card, and the newer monitors are coming in with a display port input and cable.

btw kali any idea how to remove ALOT of water from a space? been building a large stone tower from the floor of the ocean up and now im at sea level and basicly have this big stone cup of water ;/
My favorite houses have only 1 level on the surface, and then build underground near an ocean and have one of the rooms stick out and have windows on the sides so you can see the ocean.

So pretty... but... removing that water is time consuming. You have two really good options, sand would be the easiest starting out, but if you have a large supply of leaves then using shears is by far easiest.

I don't know of anything faster than leaves though.

Use sand. Dig a couple stacks of sand. Drop the sand in rows until the column of sand reaches from the floor to the top of the water and create a square of sand( I usually go 5x5).

Dig sand up leaving the 'outside' wall of the square. repeat until all the water is gone.

I'd add to use torches once you reach the bottom so you can break down an entire column sand pretty instantly, so the only time consuming task is filling in the hole with water and then digging down.

Also, if you need any horizontal space dug out then my vote goes back to leaves being more effective, but if you're only going straight down then sand would be best.

Yeah, honestly anything older and I'd say toss it, but it's still got a little bit of time on it, imo.

If you max out the ram, even not for a linux box it will suffice depending on what you're using it for.

I'd still personally max out the ram, I'm going to assume it has 2 slots and you'd need 2 sticks of ddr2, but it could have 4, which would be awesome, as then you'd only need 4 1gb sticks (usually easier to find, and ergo cheaper.)

and god damn bad breath, make it a pain in the *** to try to capture Malboros.

I guess I could just progress a bit further and get the airship, then I could make some ribbons.

A build I did last year was a 30x30 tower that went down about 70 levels into the water and up to 110 levels into the sky. Each floor of the tower had a theme, and at the top a chest full of hang gliders. When I started I thought the water segment wouldn't be too bad.. yeah that took like 10 hours building the walls and getting the water out. (Survival mode) I should really get back into playing minecraft more.

I wish I had a screenshot of one of my houses, I will spend days just tweaking it. I use microblocks as well, makes builds look so... good...

I was going to do a 1 to 1 scale of Bastok and Sandoria, but at the time I wasn't active on XI so I couldn't get all the measurements I needed.. though now that I'm playing again maybe I'll do that.

Use the custom NPC mod to place NPCs in there as well. With like 3-4 mods I think you could replicate the game very well.

I was just playing Skyrim until it crashed, killing impossible to kill dragons like a boss, and my *** dog is HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE.

Trying to think of something people would like me to play and it'd be at least somewhat enjoyable in the late hours. Something horror?

or Dark Souls. Idk why but I kinda like watching people play DS. Specially when they get invaded.

Or when they are fighting the Iron King in DS2 >.>
