Make sure the PSU is ATX 2.03 and AMD compliant - they run anywhere from $50 to $100 USD. 300w PSU si the minimum wattage IMO and experience. Never hurts to have excess wattage capacity TTFN

Get an AMD CPU system and save several hundred $$. With the $$ saved, ye can get a GF2 Ultra. TTFN

Get whatever you want Kush. No experience with SCSI, plenty with IDE. SCSI = mega $$ (greenbacks or Loons). IDE be cheaper and performance be on par if not better than SCSI in my research. But if push comes to shove - get the HDD TTFN

Good thing I refreshed this page before I posted [rp] 19th May, 3008 GCV Graf Spee “Status?” Rico asked. “Cloaking system deactivated; stealth mode activated; range to target 75km,” came the replies from the bridge crew, “Leo is maintaining their position 250000km from target and have matched course and speed.” Well ain’t that a bloody miracle, for once the Mercs kept their word without signing a contract, Rico thought, I loves this gunboat diplomacy. “Region is clear except for us, the Leo, and our target,” Tacops reported, “wait ... a cargo pod, with two humanoids, one EVA has emanated from the target. TCO Ship Status Display data for the Graf Spee’s was deteriorating rapidly. Rico mentally gave their target 3-4 minutes before going critical as he once again verified their distance from the Vulture. We should be ok this far out, he thought. What Rico rally wanted to do was drop the stealth, go active, and save as many personnel aboard the Vulture as possible. But orders were orders and his were to sit, wait, and be prepared to react to the unexpected -which he had done twice already. “There are multiple something’s are out there Rico,” LeFevre said from her station in the SES located in CB1, “one solid track on a small cloaked vessel trailing the target. Another closing at a brisk pace, I cannot get anything more unless we deploy the TA...” Deploy the Towed Array ... not now ... takes to long ... though the additional capabilities the TA gives ... “TA deployment is not an option LeFevre,” Rico made his decision, “do your best with our current posture and keep me posted to any changes.” “Aye sir,” LeFevre said with a scorn, “Research out!” Rico ignored the tone in the Graf Spee’s Research Engineer reply and began to drum his fingers on one of the arms of his command perch. Times a wasting fools ... what’s next to pop out of Pandora’s Box, Rico thought as he drummed his fingers, ... hope? 19th May, 3008 Modified LRT-15 Transport S.S Vulture “NO, NO, you id ... Commander!” Gallion heard as York barked at him as he was getting into the Combat Vac Suit York had given him, “Left over Right damn it! How many times do I have to tell you? You keep going right over left and you wont last a minute when we tread vacuum ... ” York’s tirade was lost as Gallion snapped the helmet of his suit in place. Then he did make the corrections to his suit that York had chewed him out for. He had lost track of Caine somewhere, sometime in the last hectic minutes. Wonder where savage is off to? ... and where the hell he get all this bloody equipment Gallion thought as he surveyed the gathering place located in the aft portion of deck 2. TONK! The echo of York’s smack against his helmet to gain his attention interrupted any further thoughts Gallion may have had. After several seconds watching York’s futile attempt at being a mime, he finally figured out what York was trying to get him to do and activated the suit’s COMM system ... “You need to pull your head out of your arse Sir,” came over the COMM system. “we don’t have the luxury of a BC so pay attention!” Gallion was taken aback at being addressed in such a manner from the old Marine Gunnery Sergeant. “Ok Gunney,” Gallion said to York with his trade marked sly and malicious sneer/grin, “what do we do now?” This shocked York some, he was not expecting Gallion to acquiesce so easily. Then he noticed the grin on Gallion’s mug through the helmet’s face place – he knew full well what usually followed when that appeared. He decided to change his approach tactics. “Well Sir,” York said assuming the role of a Gunney telling his commander that he is an arse without actually saying it, “this is how I see it ... ” Gallion’s sneer/grin became more malicious as he listened to York’s take on things and his plan and then his world changed once again. He saw the tell-tale shimmering effect on him and York. Which indicated transporter activation. 19th May, 3008 GCV Graf Spee Rico’s drumming fingers came to a halt as the LeFevre’s scorning voice piped in over the comm system. “Cargo Pod empty, suspect transport of contents from unknown origin,” LeFevre began, “Still getting fluctuating readings consistent with a cloaking field, range approximately 150000km from target. Getting power and energy spikes from the target too ...” Rico quickly zoomed in on the Vulture in the tactical view and caught the beginning of its deconstruction process – a.k.a. explosion and destruction. “Can you give me a plot to the unknown LeFevre?” Rico demanded from the RE, “at least point us in the general direction damn it!” “Wait one ...,” was her scornful reply. The seconds tick by tic ... tic ... tic... tic... tic... tic... and Rico’s patience reached its breaking point. He could not continue his primary mission, so he now had to implement plan Z and his own intuition. He decided to leave the Leo where she was. The merc Megaron was more than capable of handling herself. “Ok, I have a very weak track on the unknown Rico,” LeFevre reported, “plot transferred to navigation. The rest is up to you Commander!” LeFevre’s last sentence was almost like a slap in Rico’s face. He still did not trust LeFevre, though he knew she and Gallion had had a long history, one that he only heard about recently. “NAV, set a course to the unknown,” he ordered, “maintain current speed and distance. Be prepared to activate cloak on my mark!” Rico sat back in his command perch and waited for the fates to finish spinning his web as the Graf Spee changed course towards the unknown contact. Did he do right? Only time will tell. [/rp] TTFN [ 04-20-2001: Message edited by: Gallion ]

After the initial political and liberal backlash smack, this sensitivity training aka bovine excrement is next to none existant. Only advantage the chicom have is their vast numbers. What they lack in tech they make up for in numbers. A protracted ground war will be bloody for both sides. The ChiCom do not need to control the sea-lanes to move or resupply their forces.

Ok, I'll bite. I still be in the military, the last thing I want is some incident that will preclude or delay my retirement process that begins in 30 days. However, contrary to what the college lad Eclispe previously stated, we (the US) are more than ready in the event the current situation w/ the ChiComs (aint heard/read that term in a while) esculates. Anyone remember the Cold War strategy (public knowledge since the '50's) IRT USSR? M.A.D. aka Mutually Asserd Destruction and global nuclear winter. Strategic asset exchange w/ PRC = end of civ as we curently know it. Conventional warfare w/ the ChiComs will be bloody, they be near 2 billion of those buggers The asian culture (been in that part of the world a plethora of times over the years) is all about the preverbial cat-n-mouse game, and saving face. Read your history folks. In time, we (the USA) will prevail. What could be done now is for each of use to pay attention to what we buy each and every day. Which means not buying anything with the Made in China label on it TTFN [ 04-10-2001: Message edited by: Gallion ]
