Anoncoin was $16 a while back. The price fluctuates a lot along with bitcoin(buy some bitcoins and buy anoncoin with it when it goes down and you could make some money)

The prices are starting to go back up(which my wallet is really appreciating)

Do any of you do altcoins? I mine anoncoin with my GPU/CPU when I'm not playing games on my desktop(currently get about 470-520kH/s). I have earned about 4.1 coins with it so far though fees will take .3 of those off.

I have good experience with AMD GPU's on linux.

If you are going  with two monitors the best experience would be to have them both be the same kind.

Here is an example of a build with some of the specs already mentioned http://pcpartpicker.com/p/27NPS
some of that stuff should probably be cut down to a more reasonable level for you to get anywhere near your pricepoint. What parts are most important to you?

I was just looking at the last couple posts and that would probably run higher than that. Should the cost include monitors, keyboard, mouse?

What budget would you want for this?

I use maxima, but its nice that companies are supporting the pi

Spoiler For my quick attempt:
0+s t_1sin(25)=s-s t_2cos(25)
t_1sin(25)=1-t_2cos(25)
(square so I'd assume that t_1=t_2=t since that really simplifies the work)
\frac{1}{sin(25)+cos(25)}=t
\theta=arctan(\frac{1-\frac{1}{sin(25)+cos(25)}sin(25)}{1-\frac{1}{sin(25)+cos(25)}cos(25)}
EDIT: didn't do angles correctly so have to redo it.

EDIT2:
Spoiler For more complicated:
$0+s t_1sin(25)=s-s t_2cos(20)$

$t_1sin(25)=1-t_2cos(20)$

$1-t_1cos(25)=t_2sin(20)$

$t_2sin(20)+t_1cos(25)=1=t_1sin(25)+t_2cos(20)$

$t_2(sin(20)-cos(20))=t_1(sin(25)-cos(25))$

$t_2=\frac{sin(25)-cos(25)}{sin(20)-cos(20)}t_1$

$t_1sin(25)=1-\frac{sin(25)-cos(25)}{sin(20)-cos(20)}t_1cos(20)$

$t_1=\frac{1}{sin(25)+cos(20)\frac{sin(25)-cos(25)}{sin(20)-cos(20)}}$

$x=\frac{sin(25)}{sin(25)+cos(20)\frac{sin(25)-cos(25)}{sin(20)-cos(20)}}$

$y=\frac{sin(20)(sin(25)-cos(25))}{(sin(20)-cos(20))(sin(25)+cos(20)\frac{sin(25)-cos(25)}{sin(20)-cos(20)})}$

$\theta=arctan(\frac{1-x}{1-y})$

I use the AMD(not sure if free or not) drivers on my install and they work just fine(triple monitor with xrandr). I haven't done much with testing performance comparison versus windows, but it seems to work well.

How good "good enough" is depends on what you're doing with it, of course.
To play Skyrim dual-monitor, you're going to need a pretty nice GPU (or enjoy looking at pixels)
Skyrim also was not written to support multi-monitor and I've found multi-monitor hacks very unstable(especially when using mods)

Another note about RAID: I'd highly suggest not doing it, especially if it's your first time; for RAID0 (which pimathbraniac talks about), if any of the drives fail all your data is lost. Other RAID arrays provide redundancy, but decrease performance.
RAID 5 supports drive loss and increases speed, but it requires three drives and you cannot use one of them for storage

I eneded up getting this working by pushing every cable in the case in to make sure there were no loose connections. I now have a few problems with monitor cables so I need to keep working on that, but it is kind of good for now.

I've been using my new desktop for a month or two now and the other day I put it into suspend while I slept. When I got up it was powering on for about half a second every five seconds or so. I rechecked all the wiring and it appears to be good(or at least unchanged) but the problem has persisted and I am unable to turn on the computer. I've tried clearing CMOS to see if I messed up with my overclock(4770k at 4.0ghz), but that didn't seem to change anything. At this point I'm not sure what to do. Any ideas on what is wrong or how to fix it? I have decent warranties on most of the parts so I should be able to get a failed part replaced(would that be PSU or motherboard in this case?)

EDIT: The customer support at MSI suggested I remove my graphics card to see if it would work with onboard video and that(predictably) did nothing.

EDIT2:It worked for a minute while the graphics card was out and nothing was plugged in except the front panel power switch.
As I started plugging other things back in continued to not have problems until I plugged in the power led positive. Then the problem restarted and is not going away. It stopped earlier when I was unplugging things and had moved one cable slightly to the side(not unplugged just moved it away from the processor fan)
I tried redoing everything I did, but the problem is not going away again.

Code: [Select]
import os, sys, glob, shutil, fnmatch

matches = []
for root, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(sys.argv[1]):
        for filename in fnmatch.filter(filenames, '*.h'):
                matches.append(os.path.join(root, filename))
        for filename in fnmatch.filter(filenames, '*.txt'):
                matches.append(os.path.join(root, filename))

print(matches)

dest=sys.argv[2]

for f in matches:
keep=input("Do you want to keep "+f)
if keep=='':
keep = old
if keep=='r' or keep=='n':
os.remove(f)
elif keep=='k' or keep=='y':
print(dest+os.path.split(f)[1])
shutil.copy(f,dest+os.path.split(f)[1])
else:
print("You need to use a valid command y/k keep or r/n remove")
old = keep
recursive and tested. It will also remember your last answer so you can just press enter to continue going with keep/remove without having to retype.
EDIT: the first argument is the directory to search through the second is where to put them.

would something like this work

Code: [Select]
import os, sys, glob, shutil

dest='/home/'#leave trailing / or it will break

for f in glob.glob("*.h"):
keep=input("Do you want to keep "+f)
if keep=='r' or keep=='n':
os.remove(f)
else if keep='k' or keep=='y':
shutil.copy(f,dest+f)
else:
print("You need to use a valid command y/k keep or r/n remove")
I haven't tested it yet so I make no promise about it working
