Made it to page 2!

Well, after my kerfuffle last week, I've got two PCs folding away and I'm actually getting the points as well. I've now finally moved up on to page 2 of the stats, but it's precarious as I'm some 1533 points behind the next guy up and Destrier Rage is closing fast at only 690 points behind me. It's ...

It's okay - after a reboot, the service starts up again and the console is not visible. So I'm folding again on 2 PCs! Page 2, here I come! :)

Okay, I've got the problem sort of resolved on both PCs. I cleared everything out (but couldn't remove the actual service, so set it to disabled). I then downloaded the: "Windows NT/2000/XP "No nonsense" text-only console (with built-in Windows-service-install option)" 5.04beta. I then installed it,...

Service, Username, Team number

I recently rebuilt my main 24/7 folding PC. I also fold on the family PC on the same network. In both cases, I have FAH installed as a service. I don't remember how I installed it on the family PC, but in the Processes tab on the task manager, it shows FahCore_78.exe and FAH504-Console.exe. The form...

As the SlimServer software is under constant development, you could probably request this feature and have it included in a later release. I have to admit that I also find it surprising that this feature would be left out. I too use Adobe Audition, but I mix and master the wav files on my DAW, so th...

I just checked on my SB3 and you are right. FLACs seek okay - pressing and holding the ffwd button on the remote and releasing takes it to 2x; same again to 4x, etc. It doesn't do this with wav files for some reason. Could be a problem if you have large wav files and wanted to ffwd, although you cou...

I've just installed Clark Connect on an old PC to run as a file server and it was easy to set up and has a small footprint.

Some good, if conflicting advice so far.

My daughter fell asleep so I got to nip up to the den and try the drives again. I guess I must have not put the IDE cable in securely the first time as it did POST and told me there was no OS.

Just to make shure we talk about the same when we are talking about POST-ing: You mean when you connect only the two HD's, you don't see the memory counter (or fancy splash screen) and can't get into the BIOS? Yes, exactly that. If that is the case you have a hardware problem. Oh dear. I'll have to...

Just a quick question -- do I have to do anything to the two drives before I attempt to install Linux? As I said, the system doesn't POST with just these two drives installed so I get the feeling that I need to format them or something first. I will plough through the Linux guides but a quick glance...

Very nice system. The cabling in my P-150 is not quite as neat as yours, but it is as messy on the off-side! It is a lot better than it was in my old GMC case.

Thanks for posting.

Just a quick Q: what difference does removing the rear fan grill make to noise and temps?

I have a Gigabyte GA-8ITX motherboard with a P4 Willamette 2.0GHz. According to CPU-Z, it's running at 1.68v and that seems a little high to me.

Thanks! I got it working this morning by swapping the wires around in the plug. It was tricky and a few of the plastic tabs broke off, but it worked and I don't plan on moving this system to another case EVER.

Thanks for the help.
