Yup. Pimp your TM cuz it's so choked down when you buy it. 1.5" hose and tools. 2" port on the waste tank. 2" or 2.5" internal vac plumbing. 1 or 1.5 flow jets on the wandOuch
 
Open it up....let it breathe. Put a kunkle on it. Throw some 3 or 4 flow jets on your wand Thumbs%20Up

The Radeon 4870 is out now. The 8800GT is down to $149.
I never overclock, always run them stock. One day when I've got some spare time, I'll crank it up just to see how fast I can make it goLOL

Nice hardware on your pc cmaster.. Got my Radeon 3870 after rebate was $135 from http://newegg.com.. Not as fast as your 8800GT.. The Q6600's are great overclockers..  Big%20smile

duckcountry.....funnny...used to rock most of that equipment.
 
Antec 900 C2Q, 4GB OCZ Reaper, 650i, 8800GTS 640 now....
 
And rarely game. Like to play with websites though....Flash, Photoshop etc...
 
Oh, and Kelly, Hi! Carpet Cleaning will be a lot of fun for you.
 
A thought on Spots. And Customer Service.
 
You will likely learn quickly that you will NEVER get all the spots. Some of them are gonna be STAINS. For that reason, you should familiarize yourself with the process of covering those areas thoroughly with the customer at the end of the job. Learn the why about certain stains, and try to impart that to the customer before you leave.
 
You will see a dramatic change in your customer satisfaction.
 
Anyway, I'm new here too....just thought I would comment on the computer talk, and offer a little newb cc advice.
 
Kind Regards

I'll see what I can do to get you a new 12 mhz one.  Of course mine in a demo unit custom built to show off the latest hardware.  But I have a third world source who I think has connections. You will be the envy of all your friends.  And the really neat thing is you can meet girls with this.  Some even have clear complexions and are smaller than a hefer!  And you can download pictures of naked girls too.  Sure glad my wife goes to bed early.  Yep, just me and my computer looking at girls without clothes on.  And they think I am super hot.  I help them out with money when I can and they say they are going to come see me as soon as I get enough money for their bus tickets.  Am I LUCKY or WHAT?

Wait til I get you yours, it sure beats watching the Brady Bunch on TV!

And I learn things on the computer that I will need to know for top paying jobs in something I think they call CALL CENTERS making over $100,000/yr by the year 2010.  I am so glad I got my own computer!!


Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

IBM PC XT format.  640k, 2 360k floppy drives, Hercules graphics card, monochrome monitor and all of this running under DOS 3.2 with Windows 1.1 and using a 1200 Baud Hayes compatible modem. And this keyboard is so much better than my IBM Selectric!  I even have my joystick working as a mouse pointer using PoorMansMouse driver.  Kewlest system around and all for only $750, what a steal!! I am even getting a 10MB seagate harddrive with a 65ms speed using the latest MFM format.  How kewl is that?

I just can't wait to upgrade.  Can life really get any better?

I now have Lotus 1-2-3, WordPerfect and Framework.  Man, I can BBS all night long now.  And that 9 pin dotmatrix printer of mine really lets the neighbors know I have arrived.

Did I mention I have Mean 18 Golf?  And my chess and yahtzee games rock on.

Hi Kelly, just a word to the wise. Pricing will be different depending on where you live. You need to call around and ask your competition.  In Texas, for example, you have a lot of Mexican immigrants that push down prices. In Chicago there are lots of Romanians and Polish people, not to mention Mexicans. Those are just some of the viariables that affect prices.

I built 2 systems with the 3870 for friends(one with a C2 duo 8400, the other with a C2 quad 9300). I really like that card. Cost was $234. I bought my BFG 8800GT on sale for $199 three weeks ago.
 
It's almost time to build a new system for me. I usually build one every Sept or Oct. We'll see what's hot at the timeBig%20smile
 
Seriously though, I don't game at all. I just like to go fastThumbs%20Up

Another reason is on a Core 2 you have only 2 processers that have to share the same bus, 4 cores have to share the same bus causing a small traffic jam.
