X5 pc's floppy = X5 SAV's cassette tape FTW!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:iagree: - and it gets the same amount of use, too!!!

I was just giving UCrew a bad time. That is one crazy looking computer

There are a lot of wires behind my Soundcraft Ghost coming from everywhere. But a Rats Nest it isn't. That would create all kinds of noise and hum problems.
I would be willing to bet you mean there's a whole lot of wires right?

:thumbup: You need a X5world license plate where it says USB. ;)

Very cool, Jeff! Another ebay find?

I've been running Windows 7 beta build 7000 x64 on my laptop since Xmas and I have to say it's really solid. Unlike Vista, pretty much all the drivers came across. This means I did not have to spend time downloading drivers and installing them post OS. Also, the boot times are faster than XP, Vista, and Windows 2008.

On my desktop, I have a quadcore with SATA RAID. Typically, with a new build-out of an OS, I have to specify the RAID drivers - not with Windows 7.

My overall experience with Windows 7 is that it's solid. It's what Vista should have been and is really Vista with back-end plumbing fixed IMO. There are some new features that I can't live without (Aero Peek, Aero Shake).

Your correct, not a true rats nest. There are a ton of wires and cables and all of them are being utilized. I give myself about a 2 foot gap between the wall and my racks to deal with swapping out devices, etc.

of course ;)

The seller had fried the motherboard, so I bought it strictly for the case and I rebuilt it from scratch with all the components I wanted in it. I am currently working on archiving onto it all of the home videos and pictures of my kids throughout the past 21 years, hence the need for the storage space.

Man that sounds like fun. (I mean work) :yikes:
