I don't know about idle power consumption. I leave my computers on 24/7 and they go to sleep after 3 hours of non-use. All my PSU's are at least 80+ bronze certified. They are supposed to be more efficient. I can tell you that they do not get as hot. From my understanding of AC electricity...

Ditto! I put SSD drives in two of my machines and can't wait to replace the others. I go home and almost get frustrated at my Raid 0 setup on my wife's computer. I'm getting a new tablet PC in the near future so I've been keeping my eye on prices of SSD's. That will be the first thing I do...

and prices are falling back down right now. OCZ is about to introduce a faster Vertex 2, so I would guess their prices may drop in the near future. I have been seeing 120/128gb drives for right around $300 the last couple of weeks. Kingston has a 128gb for $250 right now. Not as fast as the...

good mouse pad? Try a rocketfish. is pretty big. Has slick side for speed and a textured side for control. Been using for about 3 months now and I like it. It's made from aluminum with a texture applied. And it looks cool. Got it at BestBuy.

+1 on the windows home server. We have all artwork on external hard drive. WHS backs up all computers and external hard drive daily. Have another WHS and external drive off site that gets backed up once a month with data from shop. I know once a month is kind of long, but it works for me.

You can look for an older version of Gerber software than someone might have laying around. Or older version of Signlab for that matter. Gerber Graphix Advantage 6.0. You can do 95% of everything Omega 3.0 can do with GA 6.0. PM me if you have questions. I may have an older copy I'm not...

Find somebody with a Gerber Edge - or some other print/cut solution. We do it all the time.

I will e-mail you tomorrow from the shop. I would love to get that working.

Did that Tony. It didn't work. And still does not work. In 2.6 or 3.0 I have a FC8000-160 - running off Win XP

How much is it. I'm in the market and was considering the Base 54

My opinion - you are building machines that are already outdated On the processor, you should at least use the 945 Power Supply - super important. The more head room you have, the more efficient they will be and save you $$$ in the long run. Be sure you get one that is 80+ bronze certified...

heyskull, I'm a computer junkie. I demand high speed computers and constantly upgrade. I cannot stand going to another sign shop and watching them work on junk. If you want speed, it will cost. There is no such things as cheap and fast. Just like the signs we make. If it's cheap and fast...

I bought my first SSD last August. 120gb OCZ vertex. Running XP 32 bit on my rip station. I keep my files on an external drive and backup to my server. I also have a 500gb Seagate drive as a scratch drive. The speed is amazing. My rip time on files was cut by 60-80% on large files. A 500mb...

Andrew, if you are still looking at computers give me a call. I am a computer junkie. I have lots of good information on how the latest and greatest compares. My 4 rigs. 1. Rip Station - Q9550 3.6ghz on water - 4gb 1066 ram - XP 32 bit - 120gb OCZ Vertex and 500gb Seagate - ATI 4850 - Dual...

Chris, I had the same problem. There is no driver. I even upgraded to the new 3.0 and still no driver. I made my own and it still didn't work correctly. I haven't messed with it in a while, but I did put in a call to customer support. Of course, they called when I was at lunch and I have...

That looks really sweet!

I worked from home for a few years and I did not really like it. Of course, I downsized to move into my garage. I ended up with 3 12'x30' storage units down the street and my converted garage. I did not like people coming to my home and I typically would not invite them. I do a lot of...

I just did some on another brand and it came out okay. I just don't know the brand. If it's full bleed, be sure and stroke the edge or overprint it. For some reason, the edges are always ragged...

Avery A6 Clear - been using it for years...

I used spot Black and process Black interchangeably. Doesn't seem to be a difference. I did try the Jet Black for my edge positives, but still found myself having to do double pass for pinholes. I went through one roll and never tried it again. Thanks for the insight Horst M...
