Very slick site GDominy, I like it. The black and white effect works well. It looks like your servers are like mine - boxes built from the spare parts inherited from the good machines after hardware upgrades :) They do the job though.

The x800 Pro is a sweet card. I haven't gone PCI-X yet, but my next mobo will definitely have it. I'm a huge fan of ATI video cards, especially their All-in-Wonder line. I've got several now and don't even own a TV anymore. I just line-in the video feed and watch it in overlay mode on my monitor while I'm working or - coming soon - a Dell MP3300 projector and a Day-Lite drop down screen in my living room. Nothing like HDTV on a 120" screen :)

Prefer ATI cards myself. Haven't gone w/any of the AIW cards before, but have been thinking about it for some of their capturing capabilities (currently using a Dazzle...cheap, but effective).

Not too much into gaming these days, so haven't bothered w/upgrading my rig. Only thing that I've found confining about it has been lack of storage space. It's amazing how quickly 240GB gets used up. :tongue:

BTW, nice setup there GD. :proud:

Dang, nice...I'm good for space for now, even though it's limited. I just burn it straight to DVD when it's low. :) Just kind of interesting to see the message pop up when you're in the middle of a project informing you that you're out of space.

GDominy, try running Smoothwall on one of your older ( even as slow as a Pentium 1 class) machines. Smoothwall is a great, free router OS (it's a stand-alone version of Linux) which is VERY easy to install, and even easier to operate. Since I started using it, I've NEVER had router related problems (and I used to have them all the time with regular cheapo routers). The features this router/firewall OS has are the same (and in some cases better than) a $200 router/firewall you'd find at CompUSA!

www.smoothwall.org - Check it out! If you need some help with setting it up, feel free to just shoot me a PM or something!

I'm indifferent to video card brands, but IMHO this generation nVidia get's the best bang for the buck thanks to their 6800 GT.
