Is it me, or is there an excessive amount of cheating going on with PS3/XBox Call of Duty's latest game? I wanna know how they are doing it, just to do it back to them when it occurs!

(begin beg)
So do any if you fellows live near and perhaps frequent Jack In The Box?
If you do and you order a large soda pop and if it happens to have a code for a Gears of War 3 weapon skin, I'll be your friend if you send me the code
(/end beg)
My wife is currently making fun of me for asking this but I figured you fellows would understand.

Well... I got the servers and a 48 port cisco switch, what games are we going to host
I have no idea why work decided to give away some servers, amongst other IT equipment from work but but i'm not complaining!Last edited by Brighty83; 10-05-2011 at 01:23 PM.

heh Turn 'em on in your living room and watch the power meter and you'll find out! lol A lot of older servers, expecially 1U stuff, is crazy loud and drinks power. I went to a lot of trouble finding the parts for the 2P Xeon systems I run at home to make sure I had low power consumption (100w or less for a twin dual core system), quiet rigs. The tricky part was getting enough DDR400 ECC REG memory. Wouldn't mind a bunch more for that matter.

They will draw less then my games PC (850w vs 2 x 550w but i can just run 1 at 550w) but they do make a lot more noise... as blade servers do. Originally Posted by MickRussell

Is that 850 tested or just your PSU rating? (standing arguement with too many gamer kids: Kid-My rigzorz pulls 900W coz the power suply says it on the side!" Me-"Ahhhh, no. That Celeron 450 rig with the S3 video adaptor doesn't pull that no matter what your sticker says.") I know your rig is light years ahead of that of course, that's just an example.
As for noise, yeah those little fans spinning at a bazzillion rpm do crank it.
I had originally intended to cluster these Xeon rigs but that hasn't worked out. My kids must be the only ones in the area who surf the web on dual socket enterprise grade hardware. lol
