Progress has been made...An update on my PC../.

what good will that do when your pc isn\'t running and you need to flash the bios.  You should see how my pcs i\'ve fixed because people use online flash tools or do it from windows command prompt.  They must have been the elite, bringing it to a newbie to fix  
Only reason i have it is for bios updates, doc files and boot disks for older comps.  If your machine supports cdboot then you don\'t need one. My machine does but i prefer a floppy simply for bios updates, and it makes my case look more even

you want 31337 talk

Still using the 1.44mb floppy drive here. How else am I going to update the bios, flash my cd-R-RW drive, etc....

To each his own, I was just playing around.    I was able to flash my bios with a 3meg cdr I made but if you need to flash a CD-ROM I can see it being uber hard without a floppy.

I have that exact same case, minus the cool see-through panel.

Mesh is the best thing. Flexopet and then heatshrink on the ends...

Seriously you can mail yourself a file under 1.44mb much quicker than transferring it through slow@$$ floppy.

I have to use my floppy still cause my sampler uses floppy.

Damn 56k in Scotland??  I thought all or most of Europe is on broadband by now.

It is possible to get it in my area, my parents just "dont c a need for it"
I think there are still some areas where you cant get it in the highlands etc

Cool LIC  your pc looks like it will be bitchen.

As for me I have not used a floppy in so long. I got 2 250 meg zip disk.

1 60meg flash disk
1 256 meg flash disk.

I never  have to use a floppy ever again.

I think I am definitely going to build my next computer.  I was looking at Newegg and it\'s just so much cheaper to do a high end computer that way.

My problem is realy the motherboard.  I guess I need to read up on them.  I definitely want to do a 64 bit computer.  I saw that a motherboard, the 64 bit 3400 chip, gig of ram, radeon 9800 vid card and case was like 1100 bucks.  Tack on another hundred for the HD and I\'m done aren\'t I?  I really don\'t even need a HD, but I may just get a fresh one.  Keyboard, mouse, and monitor I already have.  Along with the DVD writer. and an extra cd-writer I could dig up.

If you are going to build a high-end one, then yeah it is cheaper. Also keep in mind that an AMD is going to run you less than an Intel. Maybe by the time you do it, MS will have a true 64 bit OS out for sell to take advantage of that nice new CPU.

When you do it , check out Newegg.com for Refurbished items. Lot of good deals there.

Newegg + Anandtech F/S forums is the way I\'d go for a new high-end system.  Lotsa people get rid of their 9800 cards for extra cash or from Dell pulls.
