It's an "old" laptop with a broken screen I acquired for nothing. I say old but it's actually the most powerful system in my house but unfortunately since its a laptop I doubt your cpu will fit.

I'll try that tomorrow.

Wow, it's amazing how well it's doing running on a laptop. I can send you parts for a real server if you'd like. After building my new gaming machine I have spare parts that are just going to waste.

By parts I mean a motherboard, cpu, memory (2GB) or 4 not sure and hard drive or two.

Very nice of you to offer, but I fear it'd actually cost you more to ship it all to Blighty than it would for Ant to pick up the bits here second hand.

No doubt it wouldn't be cheap. I just feel bad that they are sitting around when we could put them to use.

Do you have a charity PC recycling scheme near you? My previous old bits, that were in my mum's PC before she got my most recent old bits of hardware, went to a local charity scheme that builds PCs for people on low income / state benefit.

Might be worth checking out if you have no plans for them other than for them to gather dust?

We don't.

When I was in business and accumulating mounds of parts I had a fellow who would stop and get them and build them just like you mention.

Normally these would go on Ebay, but I am growing tired of the hassle that Ebay has become.

It is a very nice offer but so far I've paid nothing so I'm not worried about being the host :-)

who does Assassinmaster00 belong to?

Ricard00

ah yes, so worth bearing in mind that he is about 10 and maybe plays a bit differently to most on there

 

he kept attacking me with a diamond sword the other day, seemed genuinely surprised and a bit guilty when he killed me!

I agree it is worth bearing in mind but should we be baby sitting?

no, not at all

I WILL join up with the rest of the minecraft track!!

Did everyone see this? Not about Minecraft, but Mojang's next game.



Must be hard work being a lawyer and coming up with such frivolous claims as this.

Uh? :?

You've got (at least) 128 pieces of track and a one-piece hole.

I'm leaving gaps every 12 pieces or so for booster track. Not a good idea?

Well you'll use up three times as much gold and redstone as you need to without any benefit, so no, not a good idea.

Good idea!

Also, while linking up to the rail network is fun for its own sake, we've kinda moved on to nether transportation as it's far quicker.

Way to do it is this:

1. Make a nether gate in the real world and go through to the nether.
2. Destroy the nether gate in the nether (unless you came through to someone else's gate, in which case go to step 3)
3. Make a nether gate in the nether at exactly the equivalent place to your real-world one (i.e. divide the co-ords of the real world one by 8 (except for Y, it can be anywhere in the Y) (this step ensures that your gate will not be twinned with any others)
4. Link up to the nether rail system!
