Besides I'm trying to figure out how to power 4 GTX295 cards in one case, Most psus will only handle 3, But a 4th, Maybe the Silverstone ST1500 1500w would do?


Thought you were saving your pennies for a new house?

I only have to use $1860 for a down payment and $291 for deposits on the utilities(elec, gas, water, sewage & trash) or $2151 total.

a word of advice.. DO NOT spend an un-needed dime until it is done. There are ALWAYS un-expected expenses, and need for loose money to buy a home. And more of a down is NOT a bad thing, and increases your options!!

I have to only put down 3%, As the county is putting down another 32% and is paying all closing costs and I do mean all. The house has to be what's called turn key and vacant.

I speak from experience when I say having extra available is a WIN! What you "need" can change quickly. Just wait until you close then spend away, please trust me on that?

Lets see that would be for the blower on the heating system, Or maybe a roof leak or a water pipe leak, As to the floor It's a concrete slab and is part of the foundation, All are covered by insurance which means paying a deductible or if the repair is small enough paying the cost out of pocket. I've owned homes before soft^spirit, I've just not bought one on My own before. I do have some money set a side already. As to Termites, Outside of within a few blocks distance of the Mojave river, There aren't any, As Adelanto is too dry for Termites.

no, that would be for a non-figured closing cost, or an unexpected expense, an extra inspection, anything unexpected. Unexpected is, unexpected. Once spent, you can not get more cash to work with. You can always spend it later.

Well.. I gave you the best advice I could Vic. Good luck.

If I get any more snow here (+/- 1 meter), I'll truly be the winner! When my kids come home from school tomorrow, we have to make a big snowman, that's for sure...

The house is already built soft^spirit, There won't be any City or County inspections any home inspection cost would be paid for by the county and It would not happen afterwards. When I said that ALL Closing costs are paid for by the county program, the county does mean ALL, It's in writing and is in the contract that leads to a 2nd mortgage(0% interest and No Payments unless the house is sold before 20 years are up, After 20 years the 2nd goes away never to return), That is exactly what they'll do. Why? Do You think they'd lie? Government isn't bad, Only peoples stupid unreasoning and ignorant witch hunts are.

So You see I'm not having to pay for any closing costs at all. It's part of an affordable housing program for those with a certain amount of income and below, I just happen to qualify, I can't argue with the terms as I like them very much.

@ soft^spirit, If You think that the county paying for all closing costs is impossible then Yer in denial, As the house would then never close and I'd never get the keys.

Might as well win here, not winning with my PC's

The one I braved the snow for is running just says every file is corrupt, then suddenly another one starts locking up with the HDD "clicking"

You could try running chkdsk on the one that will boot....
The other one sounds like it has lost the HD.

No fun.

Yes just tried that chkdsk stops half way through and never completes!

The other one has rebooted with masses of chkdsk errors but is running at the moment.

Toasty warm inside, but at what cost?

-5C out at the moment, a foot of snow and more on the way tonight - then the possibility of a rapid thaw tomorrow?! That's going to be messy!
