a fujica STX-1 ill sell it for way less than its worth...google it if you need alot of info on it cause i dont no much about it but that its a great camera

got aim?

Wow, the Fujica STX-1 looks pretty good. As much as I'd love a film SLR, I kind of think that D-SLR is a better bang for the buck for me, since I usually take photos to photoshop or put online.

What's your asking price for the Fujica, anyway?

And no, I don't have AIM.

Oh, and plus my hands are rather large

As lilskipro587, I am also Vista ready. But I choose to wait until the bugs are fixed up, since I plan on taking advantage of nVIDIA's SLI system later on.

lilskipro587 - Nice front panel!

Anyways, here's a pic that's more present. You can see the cable sleeving that I did inside the case... It was bloody frustrating and very time consuming!

two words holy and ****!!!! i love that setup, cant wait till i get me some money for that!! im running an ? pentium 3, 733 mghz, 7?? ram an Hp cd writer pro, emprex dvd rom, one 40 gig hdd, and a 60 gig hdd, but an nvidia 512 mb video card?, but about vista, you have to run a dual core proccessor (or 2 processors) or it will crap out on you...

red, i'd be happy if i got $50-75 for the thing.....i jus want it off my hands

I'm running home and the commit charge from explorer.exe alone is huge, and if you only have a 4 gig hard drive almost half of it should be xp files.

I'm sorry to argue, but I can't see why in the world xp would run better then 98SE, only on the condition that windows XP requirements are way higher to run then that of 98SE.

[lilskipro587]

Xp is so much smoother than any previous OS by far.....
I run XP on a dell latitude CPx Laptop at 600mhz 192mb ram and a 11gb hard drive...it works fine for wat i use it for.....aim teamspeak xfire and browsing and thats all

I must agree...I have a thinkpad a22m (1gh 20gig) that came with 98 (230 bucks on ebay). upgraded to 2000 and then xp and xp runs better than anything on it. I dont know all there is to know about computers but i swear by ibm. Had a 770 thinkpad (233mhz) up until 6 months ago.

[lilskipro587]

I live out of hotels through the week and mine gets thrown in and out of my truck every day. pop in my wireless card and its good for about 3 hours on my 50 dollar ebay battery. Built like a tank I may put vista on it just cause i like to try new things. I think i can get it for 80 at officemax.

Supressor...I don't know who installed your OS...but XP pro on both of my computers barely take up a Gig and a half.

and yes, XP pro runs substantially smoother and faster....not to mention more reliably.

I installed it, but take into consideration I have service pack 2 and someother stuff, I took everything off that xp cd i could and put it on my computer cuz i got lots of room. I used the old 5200 x rpm 12 hd from my old seanix, so yea its gonna run slow. But thats okay. I was smarter at 14 then i was now. I choose parts for my computer that I could upgrade down the road with I'm going to get a SATA DVD R/RW drive soon, and another 512 mb ram, and that old 12 gigs going as soon as i upgrade to High speed, because I have a monthly bandwidth limit of 2 gigs right now and it's crap since i'll do more updating then 2 gigs lol
