All right. I have a dinosaur computer lurking in my closet. I've been keeping it with the thought that someday, when I finally get a teaching job again, I can put it in my classroom for students to work on or something. A while back I decided to go ahead and get all the stuff off of it and put it on one of my newer machines. It runs Win 95, so I went online to find kludged together USB drive drivers for it, since apparently those weren't made for the '95 OS.

Alright, I need someone who knows more about electricity than myself regarding my computer. I just upgraded some components:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
4 GB DDR2 RAM
2 SATA HDD's in RAID 0
Soundblaster PCI sound card
2 DVD Burners
2 EVGA NVidia Geforce 9800 GT superclocked edition in SLI
800 Watt PSU
about 10 USB devices total - 5 on a powered USB hub
22" Monitor.
All Plugged into an APC UPS.

okay, there's a list of release servers up, as well as a description of server types, so we should go ahead and pick where we're gonna be. unforunately, they went w/the same idea for "open pvp" as WoW did, so i'm rather disinterested in that type, though i could be persuaded to try one. (though w/the chicken debuff, i think it may be somewhat less ganky...) but i imagine we'll be taking up residence on a Core server. Red Eye Mountain is a Core North American server. figure that's gonna be us?

It's that time again!

Duane has haphazardly offered up his house for yet another lan party.

It'll be the weekend of August 22nd, and our two primary games will be Team Fortress 2 as our FPS and Company of Heroes as our RTS.
