I recently purchased a new rig from Til Death and I am very pleased. His work was top notch and he was very courteous, and professional in my dealings with him. If I ever had a question he was just a phone call away, and he made sure I was happy with my system.
Thanks TilDeath :aok

:O Holy cow. Nice system.
I remember the day when a 486DX2 66 EASA VESA with 32MB RAM and dual 120MB hard drives was the most powerful desktop around. More storage and memory than you would ever need, even as a file server running Lantastic, Novell, or Banyan Vines...it was obsolete within 2 years.

Nice, really nice. I think I know what santa clause is gonna bring me this christmas :)

Death is a straight shooter and Im going to buy my next one from him.
From now on its builds for gaming. Buying store brands just aint the answer.
Thats a nice looking rig he put together for you. Enjoy.

Thing, Have you had a chance to salivate on it yet?

I have been doing a lot of research. It is extremely difficult to find anything that rates the cards against this game... ...until now.
I had an earlier post and TilDeath may have saved my marriage (good or bad). I know now that I would have bought the popular name brand only to have to spend more money upgrading and trouble shooting.
Thanks to Skuzzy & Time (LazyDog) I finally posted something here and got immediate response. Try doing that with a brand name company and see where it takes ya! :rolleyes:
I only wish I came here earlier. I do believe I am making my purchase from someone that understands the game and specs needed to play it.
TilDeath, I do belieev I will be making that call to you this week. Thank you for your quick replies already.

You must be a youngster - I was building PC's when power users actually got 2 single sided floppy drives (160 KB), rather than the one it came with standard so they didn't have to do the floppy shuffle - and opted for an add-in memory card or three to bring it up to a max of 256 KB from the 64 KB it came with. (Note the KB, not MB). Up until the XT came out that is, in which case you could get a 10 MB hard disk.

i thought my 268 with dual 20 meg MFM drives was gonna last forever.... :x

I remember when u could use a regular cassette and a cassete player to save your programs, and they had a blazing 256k ram, no hard drive, and the mouse was something you caught with a trap.

Guncrasher,
Was it a Trash 80 by any chance? My first flight simulator was the Sublogic sim with B&W wire frame graphics on a TRS80 model III. We've come a long way (and gotten a lot older.)

It was an apple II. The one for word processing was an ibm which we thought was bolted to the floor til we found out it weighted like 60 lbs.
Programing we did in basic and machine language. People like td back then were known as gods and if u got a computer from them u would show it to your friends with the understanding they couldn't touch it.

:D late bloomer...my first contact with a desktop was an Uncle Sam issue Apple 2 dual 5.25 drive and a nice big 12 inch monitor...irritating little thing. Didn't mess with desktops again until the 486DX33 became the standard.
does anyone remember how to work in DOS?
Sure, which version? I'm pretty sure I even remember how to do a memory map of some processes to free up the upper memory.

Sitting in the closet at my folks' house is our original IBM PC with the expansion chassis to get the 10MB HDD. The 5.25" floppies were made to be double-sided via use of a hole-punch. It was an 8088 processor -- think it was 4.33MHz.
I also have an Apple IIc there.
I think we have 400-500 floppies combined between the two.
First version of MS Flight Simulator is there as well (I think with the manual).
