need some incentive, dp?

 

Hey diveplane, nice system specs, but what mobo do you have?

Also, if you hurry and help get BS out before the summer is up maybe Sulan will invite you to join him, me and the good Captain R on the deck of his boat with some nice (naked) girls.;)

Flyby out

Elite group motherboard P35T-A front side bus of 1333

 

this board is fine for what i want. also its not meant for overclocking, i dont like to overclock anyway, am selling a asus mobo on ebay .ASUS P5W DH Deluxe Motherboard,

the asus board was a waste of money for me, because it has great overclocking potential for some 1 who wants to do this. which i have stated above i dont clock up my systems.

Paris it is!

 

As for overclocking, I certainly intend to do a bit of overclocking, but I'm not an extremist. I haven't decided on a mobo yet, or even a chipset on the mobo for that matter (p35, x38 or x48 maybe). I'll probably select a mobo with sli cabability so I can add an extra video card when I can afford one (when prices drop). So far, there is no benefit to having a mobo with pci-e 2.0, so the p35 chipset looks good, but again, if prices drop maybe an x38 is in the cards. Gotta stay within the budget, and sell blood when I'm sober.;) I hope to get my hands on an e8400, or e8500 cpu. I think those will overclock to 4ghz with a good heatsink. That's why I want to overclock, but not heavily; the combat flight sims I'd fly (IL2-1946, LOMAC, SoW_BoB, and Black Shark) are more cpu (than gpu) dependent. So the more hz the better. Then it's a matter of good ram (either ddr2 or ddr3-if the price drops).

 

Oh did I agree to Paris? How about Monaco? We could be there in time for the Grand Prix, watch it from the boat, and look at all the high-lifes eny us for the naked women we have on deck. I'm sure Sulan knows only the prettiest, most agile, and most well-endowed (and tempermentally agreeable) girls. So we're in like Flynn!:D

another hobby of mine

 

I also enjoy air rifles again after about ten years away from the sport. I've been trying and buying and selling, in trying to sample what is out there. Mostly I buy used ones, but occasionally a new one here and there. Some names in my collection may sound familiar:

BAM, FX, Logun, Brocock. I've formerly owned RWS, Beeman, and AA/Cz. Once I enjoyed Springers primarily, but now mostly I own precharged pneumatics, and gather with friends at a local gun club to enjoy a day of shooting and shooting the breeze. :D.

I'd love to have other hobbies, but I live on 3rd world wages, so I jog. Been trying to save for a good pair of rollerblades, so I get lug my infant around as well.

ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P

Visual amateur astronomy. I've been doing it since I was 10 years old. My favorite objects are extremely faint galaxy clusters in the 1-3 billion light year range, and extremely faint nebulae, but I also like to look at the brighter, eye-candy stuff because the brighter stuff is extremely beautiful to look at.

 

This is a photo of my scope (25" dobsonian) set up in West Texas.

Nice one. I only have one of those "standard" 8-incher robotics. Works well, but not always granting the freedom to observe what I want to observe.

 

But then again, over here there is no night during summer anyhow, so... :(

And where is "over here"? Just curious.

 

Anyway, an 8” scope is a respectable aperture size- I used an 8” scope from 1996 to 2001. It can see A LOT under dark skies. And an 8” scope with tracking- that’s something you’re going to want to keep around for a long time. I assume it’s a SCT? Celestron or Meade?
