Compulsory voting would take away another freedom America was built on and after that European nations followed after fall of Monarch's. Every person has right to vote or not to vote. If people don't vote, maybe politicans should think how they could make people vote... other than forcing people do ...

Wether God exists or not, is not our choice. All we can do is choose wether we believe God or not. God will believe in us. And do sound more smart than I actually am, I'll post few quote's I like from men who could think out of the box and challenge mainstream believes of "truths" "The irrationality...

I'd probably go for Intel way, now that Intel is supporting with its virtualization in its every CPU and Intel has some advantage in raw performance over AMD. You're going quad core, which is very wise choice when it comes to virtualization. 4 GB memory is fare minimum for good virtualization, 6 wou...

Five fans? Five 1450 rpm fans? Hard drive louder? What is going on in this place? Yes, five Scythe gentle Typhoon 1.450rpm and (+) one 220cm. For the air intake, that is. :D :D The case is very big, you know. :P :P You don't get silence huh? No way in hell 1,450rpm fan is quiet. My 1,200 rpm slipst...

If you have less than 4 HDD's in your system, Solo is tough to beat. Its smaller than P18x and has suspension for HDD's. Solo's down side is that it cannot fit full elngth VA cards like 5970, 4870x2 and so forth. I have both, Solo and P182. I modded both. But I say this: P182's door helps a lot when...

Any Scythe Cooler you can fit will have still compability for old P4 socket. Ninja 2, Mugen 2, Kama Angle etc all have list compability for that old socket. And one of the best qualities in Scythe's cooler's is that they have good fans and when you sometimes upgrade your computer, you have great cha...

Get Arctic Cooling alpine series cooler, remove fan and duct it to exhaust fan. Just make sure to align fin space correct way. Celeron 430 is cool processor.

Hello everyone! I got new fans and I decided to give small impressions of them. Fan model is Scythe SFF92A i.e. Scythe S-flex 92mm 1000 rpm (-/+150 rpm ) variant. For those who do not know, S-flex is Sony Fluid Dynamic Bearing. Compearing to sleeve bearings 30,000 and Ball bearings 50,000 and Dual B...

If money is not an object just hire a consultant to do this for you. Cuonsultants are usually a big waiste of money in most cases. If heat is issue in case then it would be good to have card that exhausts air from rear. A Hybrid Crossfire would be also a opinion worth of consideration. or then just...

Seems good and solid build. I hope you get good sample of bigboy fan, they are hard to replace but are good and in minimum are barely noticable and bring no vibrations. The fan comes with Mugen 2 is same that is in Ninja. Slipstream PWM variant. Perhaps best stock fan so far. No reason to change that.

Thank you for insight and welcome to the SPCR ^^

When you can, please post some pictures of your system and PSU ^^

A some addition to my Wolflair A minor change: http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm103/thejamppa/Computers/th_DSCF1791.jpg Here's improve rubber sealing on top. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm103/thejamppa/Computers/th_DSCF1788.jpg Amberish glow is pretty good looking in dark. A lot less obst...

Hello Again! Almost any cooler these days comes with Core i7 or core i5 support. Xigmatek HDT-S1283 and its clones are very good solutions for Core i's. There isn't much difference in memories. Almost any brand gives life time warranty. Since you don't go overclocking Kingston Value might be good ch...

Hi all! What kind of VGA adapter would you recomend for following criteria: mATX case. No extra power plug must be able to run SolidWorks and Catia v.5 programs I was thinking something into line of HD 4650 or HD 4550 series. What else you could recomend? They can have fans. Situation my School will...

Sarcasm itself is an art and hard learning art... The problem for the sarcasm is that also audience needs to understand the sarcasm... And written sarcasm is extremely hard as over 80% of communication is non-verbal...

Terve! If you're not affraid to put effort to your case by dampening it, Antec Three Hundred + Bitumen matt is quite killer combo. Bitumen is not expensive. Antec Three Hundred is decent case even without padding but you need to change top fan. You get good Sharkoon 900 rpm 140mm fans from coolputer...

You really don't need those 4 extra pins, depending on your CPU. I got Asus P45 board. It has 8-pin connectory for CPU like you do, but 4 pins have been placed under removable cap and since I use only E8400 Dual core I have not bothered to route 8-pin connector there but I have used 4-pin. But you h...

Welcome to our small, humbly and Silent Safe Heaven. Enjoy your stay and remember: There is not such thing and stupid questions when it comes to silent PC's.

Two things: 1) Two fans in front, one was set to blow air out, one was set it suck in. Was intresting thing, that just popped out to my sight in pictures. 2) When you got 12 fans in case the HDD suspension really saves your ears by suspending HDD /Sarcasm. Looks wasn't bad, but instead adding fans a...

My fan pile consists: 2 Noctua P12's ( came with coolers ) 3x Slipstream 800 and 1x Slipstream 1200, AeroCool Turbine 3000, 7x Antec Tricool's and 2 regular non-tricool antec 120mm's, 2x Nexus 120mm RealSilent's and 1x Scythe Kama-Fex.. and then I found out some evil Thermaltake multiled-fan colored...

My problem has been that everything worked fine in Ubuntu 64-bit 9.4 till day I changed HD 4670 intoHD 4850. After that I could not make ubuntu work with that computer so I wait till I have change and time to install 9.10 and see if I can my Sapphire HD 4850 work with it. However Ubuntu works in int...

I admit that my soon 2 years old and soon 6 month's old HD 4850's were huge overkill's for my needs. I really did not need to upgrade my HD 3850 256MB to HD 4850 512MB when I did. My most demanding game then and after that was Oblivion. However now I am glad I did. I received Crysis as gift, I gto F...

This is disturbing really. Antec has had one of the best customer services and that has been why I have now 4 computer's with Antec cases and or PSU's. This summer something really happened in antec. right before summer everything worked fine when my P18x's plastic support broke for now reason. I go...

my first graphics adapter ever was voodoo. Those were the days. I do hope personally nVidia gets its stuff together, changes its idiotic policies ( closed PhysX vs. Open Havok, paying ridicioules sums in game designer's like they did with Eidos and Batman Arkha Asylum, they fire few executives that ...

If its Asus 85% change yes, if its Gigabyte or MSI you maybe lucky. Some newer MSI's and Gigabyte's allow also 3 pin adjustment. Asus mainly uses only PWM. Sucks...

Alpine 64 is very good choice for those CPU's. I had Apline 7 cooling my Regor 245 inaudiable noise levels prior getting Zipang dirt cheap...

I got 3 Ati's running in 3 computer's HD 4850 512MB first Patch. I bought it when it was released. Was best performing card in that price segment. I wanted nVidia 9800 GTX+ (prio name change) but availability sucked atm and none were available. So I bought Ati. I bought it for 180€'s during its re...

1000 rpm 140mm YL sleeve bearing @7v is practically inaudiable and vibration free in my Antec Three Hundred. If you can get it, its good choice.

I've run 9600 GT with 350W PSU with C2D cpu with no problems. Its not wattages really, its the amperages on the lines. High quality 400W+ PSU's have better amperages on the lines than most crappy or no-name 600W+ PSU's.

That is why its always important to use high quality PSU's from reliable names.

Antec had issued a statement earlier year that their Tri-Cool fans had poor patch which would cause them not work perfectly. How old is your antec fan? If itsl ess than a year, contact antec and they'll ship you new one for free. Antec's warranty services are top notch. However wouldn't it be cheape...
