I've got the Paladin PT-525 (http://www.powerplaytools.com/PowerPlay525.php) that's made by SOG. Extremely well made, the knife is sharp as hell. Incredibly useful tool for any IT person that has to deal with physical networks.

I think Ben's works better for an IT person. It slices, it dices, it's guarateed to turn the troublesome router or server into a nice pile of metalic strips and will still slice your sammich with ease

10 years and only 1 appearance post season... and on the other side you has Detroit with 20 consecutive post seasons.... it must make you wanna eat some sleeping pills...

You have no idea. My only saving grace is that my true favorite team is the Canucks. I just hope they don't pull their normal, post '94, playoff tricks.

Happy Birthday Jagr!!

Ben has first dib's. Updates to follow.

:lol:

Glad to see my pain can bring some light into your life.

Crib is in good condition, it has a few nicks on the front top that can be touched up. Mattress is like new, always had a cover on it so there are no stains, etc. $100 for both.

Sunday works for me. Saturday is a no go due to kids soccer. Plus the wife an I heading downtown early to drink so we can handle the last CBJ game of the year.

Not much in the way of details at this point. Hope everyone from the board is safe.

Son of a bitch, I'd need some clean pants after that. I thought it was coming off the truck too.

Welcome to OR! Head on out to the Dyno Day on Saturday since your so close. Good place to meet a good group.

Welcome back to OR!

I like FF4...haven't had any complaints thus far, little strange where tabs are located but seems to run well.

+1. taking some time to get used to the revised layout.

JRMM that's just..... you know........ "funny" or happy or sweet or rainbowish.......to be politically correct.........So glad you guys recognized my interest in starting this group I didn't actually mean for it to go up already......but any wayz I'm glad it even got a response, even a negative one I'm laugh with you haha.....now I really wanna do it even more.......

You are to commended for making it through a newb hazing with a smile and a positive attitude.

You're straight?

Doubtful since he went to an all boys Catholic HS.

I ride a bit harder in a group than I do alone, but I don't ride balls to the wall. I have a wife and kid I want to come home to at the end of the day.

+1. My family keeps my right hand in check.

Welcome to OR!

double post......

Soooo... What'd you end up getting?

Linky?

I bought an HP dv7 (NIB) off of ebay

i5 - 430m 2.26GHz

6G RAM

640G HD

17.3 screen

Blue-ray

switchable graphics

$690 shipped

HP may have a quentionable rep but this one had pretty good reviews based on my research and was in the ball park for price. If I had FU money then I would have went the Apple route.

My guess is it was a total/salvage... And they're either

A) Messin' around w/ it, or

B) Still in the process of restoring it

After looking at the pictures again I would tend to agree with this. The passenger side wheel is beat to shit.

Prayers sent David. Keep a postive attitude!

His license plate is shown, for the love of God someone track him down and bitch slap him.

"some slight orange peel but otherwise it's a very nice paint-job. I hope you die"

Take this as friendly advice, but you're encroaching Ford/Chevy territory here. Some of us being Intel guys, others being AMD. 2.26 vs. 2.3 is splitting hairs really. I'd be just as interested in the FBS rating for the mobo for each proc. A wicked fast proc is wasted if it's gotta run through a tight little bus. Personally, I can speak well of the intel i5 here as it's what I have in my work laptop and it runs very well. I don't do much in the way of graphics, but I do a good bit in the way of VMs and multiple RDP sessions and have yet to encounter any issues with it.

I thought about that after I posted. Purchase made, thanks for the input from those that responded. I went with the Intel over AMD, too concerned about the heat output from the AMD.

the dreaded repost

I5 is 4 cores, AMD is 3 cores.

Real world: you won't notice any difference, assuming both machines have the same amount of RAM and comparable hard drives.

Thanks. Both have 6G RAM and 640G HD's.

2.3>2.26 ...amirite?

Yep, but looking for input in regards to heat, etc. To much BS on ther interwebz to figure out which is better so I come to the OR collective.
