  1. Your input on my new site layout

    That is my domain name registration, but I do not yet have a website hosted on this site domain as I do not have any hosting up. I am using my school's hosting as this is also for a website design class project. You can view my website layout page at the following URL...
  2. Your input on my new site layout

    Again I have made some new changes and uploaded the new site online. The link is here. I changed the way the content was laid out on the page slightly to incorporate images a little better to tie in the computer theme. The top rollover buttons I prefer much better than the static images I had...
  3. SSD Drives Revisited

    I have been keeping an eye on these over the last month as well, and noticed quite a dramatic price drop as well in many of these drives. I know a lot of this has to do with preparing newer generation drives. As the price of these drives drop, they come closer and closer to becoming a feasible...
  4. upgrade?

    Computers with Windows XP are still relatively easy to get, just don't expect to walk into your local Wal Mart or Best Buy and pick one up that way. Many companies out there, such as Dell and HP, still offer the option for an XP Downgrade through the rights of Windows 7 licensing, but this also...
  5. Monitor Problems, Flexi

    What is the model of your monitor? Should be able to do a search on google and find out what the native resolution for it is. You can also do a search on how to find your display resolution.
  6. Monitor Problems, Flexi

    We have had no problems yet running Flexi Pro 8.0 on Windows 7. The problem that you are describing has been described before and seems to be an issue with the resolution settings. What video graphics are you using in your computer? What is the native resolution of your monitor? What...
  7. file back up

    All of our files are stored on a central file server and shared to each person from there. We use a simple program called Backup Magic to copy the entire data drives of the server to two external hard drives. The first external drive is backed up daily automatically and remains on site, and...
  8. Your input on my new site layout

    I do want the image to repeat horizontally, but not vertically. That way the image of the clouds is always at the bottom of the window no matter what resolution, and even if you scrolled the entire page contents on top of it would always remain at the bottom. This is currently how the...
  9. Your input on my new site layout

    With this design I was just looking at the effect of the background image with the clouds to begin with. If the background image scrolled then the image would look very patterned and repeated which would not look proper. From there, I thought it would be nice if the menu buttons and logo were...
  10. Your input on my new site layout

    I have done some work on the items as you all have described that need to be altered. Instead of tables I have built div containers for the parts of the page, to the best of my current understanding of skill with them. See the updated site here. A couple things that I still have not quite...
  11. New computers/upgrade

    Techman again is correct here in one key element: idle power consumption. A 1000 Watt PSU will always have a much greater idle power usage and thus a higher average power usage than a 600-750 Watt PSU. This translates into less efficiency even if you are only using 300 Watts of total power in...
  12. New computers/upgrade

    I have to agree with Techman on the power supply here. Unless you have multiple high-powered graphics cards, a RAID array of more than 4 hard drives, or a dual-socket server motherboard you won't really need anything near that power. Use a power supply calculator online to estimate the amount...
  13. SSD Drives Revisited

    We are just at that in-between situation. While the SSD drives will offer a noticeable performance increase for handling large files in production, will that extra minute or two difference in a couple large files really make a difference for the cost in the long run? Perhaps if the overall...
  14. Suggestions For Design System

    The first Gulftown Core i7-980X Extreme six-core CPU is just now out, but at $1,000 just for the processor, it's pretty much out of the realm of reality. I also noticed that Newegg now has the i7-930, which will replace the i7-920 processor. The newer version runs cooler, has a faster clock...
  15. Your input on my new site layout

    So by the general sound of things, I should try to move away from using a table as the base of my website layout? Currently, the main page is really a table with a column for the top where the logo is located, a column beneath that where the rollover nav bar is located, a third column below...
  16. Your input on my new site layout

    Thank you everyone for your gracious input, it is exactly what I am needing from your expertise! A couple questions for you, then, to fix some of the issues you have described. 1) Image placement of the top logo and bottom copyright not displaying properly between browsers: I've noticed this...
  17. Your input on my new site layout

    I am currently taking a website design course and part of my class project is to develop a website from the ground up. I'm trying to get two tasks done at once by using this opportunity to rebuild the website for my own computer business, Cumulus Computers. My new page layout can be viewed at...
  18. Problems with flash drive

    By the sounds of it, with losing files or corrupted files, and constantly pestering about needing to reformat, that you might have a failing flash drive here. They are cheap enough, find a replacement and call it a cheap investment in relieving your frustrations. I had a flash drive that did...
  19. Malware-virus

    The process for removal of any of these variants of virus is pretty simple. If you do a google search on "how to remove <insert fake antivirus software name here>" it will give you step-by-step directions from several reputable places. To summarize, many times this virus disables your ability...
  20. Malware-virus

    I have been using Avast! Anti-Virus for over five years now and never have had a thing to complain about. It's ranked much better than many of the other antivirus applications such as McAfee and Norton, even AVG. It even has a free license version. As an example of how I depend on it so much...
