Guys, I appreciate the advice. In addition, we spoke on the phone, and he walked me through what tiki posted. He's coming over in a few minutes to figure this out. I'll update the results.
Well guess what ? Yesterday I was impatient. My little home network failed yesterday and I spent the last 24 hours chasing my tail trying to get things working again (don't ask). The major most stressful issue was dealing with my 3 1/2 yr old grand daughter, trying to explain to her every 5 minutes why the Roku box didn't work! All's well now, if she's not watching her FAVs on Roku, she's reading (listening to) her books on her I-Pad. I've felt like I was pushing the 295s as a great video card for a trading computer, a litle to much lately. However, when I saw that auction on Ebay coming to a close, "I just couldn't help myself." I didn't buy the card..... I just couldn't help myself .... from posting another great deal on a 295. I'm sorry for misleading, that was not my intention. Since I'm confessing to the errors of my ways , I posted up-thread that I bought a full size Rosewill case I didn't, I bought a mid tower, my mistake ... it looks BIG sitting beside a small HP box I have. And you're a trader ? Yes, Congrats indeed TikiTrader, 500 replies, WoW! But really impresses me is the 18749 views, in a month! Big brother is obviously watching
Oh that was some pressure! It overshadowed many times over my pressure of maintaining computers for a 500 agent call center for Monday morning... I think Tiki needs to negotiate a new contract with ET on advertisement dollars to supplement his electricty and Corona bills...
The case is about as big as the original IBM XT computer. Albeit standing on its side. 5 1/4-inch floppy drive. 10MB hard disk. 640KB memory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_Computer_XT
Seriously though... the antec 900 case is about 19 inches tall and the p183 is about 21, and the 900 is about 19 total inches long and the 183 had about 19 inches of usable space. Both mids and good sized difference. mid towers all range in size but I have no idea what actually is the spec range that determines a midtower http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...-na&AID=10521304&PID=4176827&SID=kb5hqbsxqjkr
286 was a beautiful processor. It was much faster than 8086. The one I first learned how to write programs in assembly language. Those MOV commands... I miss them so much... *NOT*
I don't know either. I love those pimp LEDs. I should have picked up a case based on the flashing LEDs, blue and pink. Lovely. I would love to have a computer with LEDs flashing brighter and faster when the market is moving. So exciting. Dim and slow when the market is dead...
