RE: Teamspeak out of the ashes

OK… so I once again replaced the power supply, but this time with a 230W version of a mini-ITX flavor instead of the micro ATX I was trying to use before. I have to consider noise level and heat dissipation, as my office is now in my master bedroom.

But this one should be far more solid, and not dump on us at the drop of a hat. So… barring any extended power outages, we should be golden from here…

Let me know if anyone has issues connecting…

I will try to not make it in the evening/night, but I have to break my old desk down to make way for a new L-shaped desk. So my network will be out, thus taking the TS server offline. I will hopefully have it back up within a few hours.

Hope to be gaming with you guys soon on the new desk…

Another great deal for those in need: OCZ PC2 6400 800mhz memory 2gb kit – $21

If you have a CompUSA near you, they are running this deal, and another one on the next better range for $39.99

[ SITE LINK ] $21.99

[ SITE LINK ] $39.99

I picked up an extra set of the $21 ones to bring my rig to 4gb, and will probably be going Vista 64bit this weekend to be able to see the whole 4gb. I am hoping the timings are close to my Crucial Ballistix so that it doesn’t screw things up

EDIT: The $39.99 deal is for FOUR GIGABYTES of memory! I am taking this $21 deal back and getting the 4gb set to bring my rig to 6gb of memory under Vista 64bit.

Question for the [REG]s with newer rigs…

Does anyone have any experience with Vista yet? And namely how well it does with games, and is DX10 as much of a difference as the screenshots make it look? I understand that Vista is a RAM hog, but I haven’t been able to get DX10 to work with my winXP Pro, and I have tried a couple of packages I found that supposedly worked for others.

I was thinking about grabbing another set of Ballistix to jump to 4gb, then grabbing the 64bit version of Vista Home, but I wanted to see if anyone else has had any luck with it. I’ve read boatloads of complaints around, but you always hear more complainers than praisers. I may even buy a matching 8800GTS 640mb and go SLI, if I need to in order to get the detail that I am seeing in these DX10 screenshots.

Help a brutha out boyz…

NOTICE: New Teamspeak server IP address up and rolling…

New teamspeak address:

99.172.159.177:8767

10mbps+ down/1.5mbps up

Still have some work to do with tier2 techs on getting my pings resolved, (they jumped by 20-30ms) so I may need to take my network down for reboots, so it may be a little flaky for the next day or two. If you get dropped, I apologize.

I also received 26″ LCD Widescreen I got an unbelievable deal on @ officemax.com – only $349!! (see other post, for those who are interested) AWESOME picture and clarity, but 5 dead pixels and a large defect dead center of screen, so they are RMAing it back. Will have to wait another week. *sigh*
