I'm currently employed full time but I'd like to start looking for side work. Would anyone have any recommendations as to how to proceed?
eg. are there good websites to find local consulting jobs, what rates I should be asking for, websites aimed at helping consulting n00b's start out, etc.?
ok... I just got everything installed... FINALLY :)
been working on putting this machine together for a couple months. Here's the final breakdown
2x quad core opterons
4GB of DDR2 (ECC Disabled)
Windows server 2008
I went through a period where the first sticks of RAM had to be...
My first 4 GB of RAM are going to get here early next week and I have a few choices in OS's to run on it. I'm a linux nut (as in I administer 7 Ubuntu servers, 2 CentOS servers at work and run Ubuntu at home) but I'm wanting to get both the GPU and SMP clients running quickly so I was thinking...
Still a work in progress but it's coming along :)
Built specifically for folding (and hopefully some bigadv units)
couple specs:
MSI K9ND Speedster with the 8MB bios upgrade
2x Opteron 8354's (quad core 2.2GHZ)
nVidia 8800GTS (G92)
things to get: 8GB DDR2-667 ECC RAM, PSU, and a couple...
So I found a decent deal on 2x Opteron 8354 (quad cores). I'm looking to build a -bigadv rig with (hopefully) two GPU clients as well...
*caveat - I'm a die hard AMD fan*
I've been looking around the net for an ATX/EATX motherboard and found a few:
Asus KFN5-D SLI
MSI K9ND...
I'm about to set up four servers as a FAH farm. Has anyone ever thought of or found a way for one machine to act as the master server and then let other machines do the processing?
kinda of like having all machines act as one big one.
I'm going to write a little prelude here...
Last time I did any folding was around 10 years ago on an Athlon XP system... I haven't kept up with it and just recently found some decent looking server boards really cheap that I thought I might be able to turn into a small farm. I'll have a...
If anyone has a 4850 reference cooler lying around they don't want I'd be willing to take it off your hands.
I'm not looking to spend a fortune on it.
Thanks.

This is the second time this has happened to me
how does it happen?
I need to clear some of this stuff out of my apartment to help with the bills. All items include shipping costs (USPS) and are OBO.

Anyone know of any good (cheap) thin client providers that has decent USB redirection? I need to have USB fingerprint readers attached to the thin client.
I have an issue with one of my member servers at work that I can't figure out for the life of me. It's a fresh install of server 2003 and I can not get any domain accounts logged onto it to install programs from any network path what-so-ever. For example, if I log on the server using the domain...

I understand nVidia's two modes but why not include the option for the original SLI (scan line interleave)? Are AFR and SFR both a billlion times better? Maybe I'm wrong, but wouldn't having the 3rd option of original SLI make tweaking games for maximum FPS's and quality so much easier than...
I just got hired at CompUSA as a tech, and at the end of my first week, I have been searching for some good diagnostics and repair utilities. If any of you expirienced technicians out there can direct me to some of your fav's, I'd be greatly appreciative.
Well, it's that time again.
NELAN2004 is ready to commence registration.
"Why should I register" you ask?
Because of these reasons:
1) You want to have a day of fun
2) You want to enter a Counter Strike tournament where the prize is

I just recieved a MSI GeForce FX 5900 and I had a ThermalTake Giant II cooler and was wondering if anyone has used the Giant II and if so.... is there a huge temp difference when using it?

CompUSA was running an ad
