    advice needed - first time HTPC build

    A note on that case. The newer video cards (I have the HD3850) are very long. You might have problems fitting one in your case with the 5.25" drives there. Just a word of caution.

    Space Sim fans..

    You know, as bad as it sounds, SWG:Jump to Lightspeed (before Rage of the Wookiees) was really fun. PvE and PvP. Course, in the end my friend and I got bored and we would have a contest to see who could do something the fastest/without getting hit/etc. We quit shortly after that.

    xp-mobile question

    I think it's locked. Mine was locked when I bought it in early 2k4. I've got mine running at 172 x 14 = ~2400 Mhz Works great for me.

    Death of the Space Combat Sim?

    I've got the same gripe. The closest thing we've got not to a space combat sim is SWG: Jump to Lightspeed. It's ok as far as combat sims go, the graphics are ok. I know that there is a really nice open source C++ 3D engine (http://www.OGRE3D.org) that could make one. I started playing around...

    business website: what web proggies to use?

    Using Frontpage for websites is like using Word to publish the JC Penny catalog...stupid. stay far far far away from it. I use dreamweaver mainly because of the coloring of code. It makes it much easier to keep things organized in my head.

    Warm: 30% off Dell 2001FP or 2005FPW LCD Monitor

    Hmm... $749 - 30% off - $14 (Free shipping) - $35 (Dell Home Coupon) + $40.37 (Tax to TX) + $14 (Shipping) = $529.67 shipped. That's $2 more than I got my first for. Now if only I could justify it.

    How to disassemble a Mac Mini

    But what kind of PC2700 RAM? 128x4 or 64x8 for the 1GB stick? The 128x4 is really cheap compared to the 64x8, but it doesn't work in most chipsets.

    Overclocking the 2500 mobile?

    I've got my 2500 running almost 2.4Ghz. I think it's 14x170 @ 1.55v. I can't unlock the multi on mine (super locked), so I've gotta go with tamer settings.

    For those that have a Mobile chip....

    Well, on a good day (ie not 95 outside) I get 48c 49c when playing SWG, Far Cry, Sim City 4, etc. It usually idles around 43c. My apartment is usually about 78f. I don't have that great of a case for cooling. It's pretty cramped.
