Just found this deal on NCIX and figured I'd share. They're selling the Mini P180 for $49.99. http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=51309&vpn=MiniP180White&manufacture=Antec You need at least $50 to qualify for free shipping, though, which is a pain. You're only a penny short if you aren't buying anythin...

I own a H61 board--a Gigabyte H61M-D2P-B3. You can undervolt it--or at least change the dynamic Vcore.
I managed to shave off 8 watts or so on a Pentium G620--it's pretty low end, but still Sandy Bridge.

I have the following for sale: - HIS Fanless HD 4670 PCI-E card It has Zalman heatsink on it. As silent as it gets. I have a retail box as well, if you want it. Comes with all accessories. UPC code cut. Asking for $70 shipped. - AOpen Digital Engine DE-945FL A fanless small form factor computer. It ...

That's what I saw too, but on http://processorfinder.intel.com/Detail ... pec=SL9L5# it says 31W.

Just ordered one; I wonder how it will handle as a low-power server.

It's kinda funny, though. Thermal rating for the Core Solo is 31W. The maximum recommended thermal rating for the product is 27W. I wonder if that means I can try putting in a Core Duo with same thermal rating?

I was looking around for a more efficient power supply than what I have now (NeoHE 430), then I found this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152039 It's got 80 Plus bronze, which is nothing to scoff at. It's also 400W, perfectly reasonable. Lastly, it's $30 after rebate... Bu...

Hello! I'm selling an EVGA GeForce 9600 GSO 384MB card. Recently acquired a HD4670 and this has got to go. It makes an excellent folding card--it's an earlier version with 96 stream processors! I've had some luck in buying and selling here, so here I am again. I've got nothing in heatware, so here's...

Got a 7600 GTS (7600 GS with GT clock speed and GDDR3 memory) for sale. It has VF700-Cu in it, but the fan has been removed due to the fact that it runs cool enough without it. I'd ship the fan with it, but I can't find it at the moment, so that's that. Will ship it with component video adapter, $25...

Bummer, didn't win.
Grats to the winners, though. And hope my donation--although small--is worth something.

I know it's a little odd to post this here, but I have a few ThinkPads to sell.

Hmm--I'll try to give an advice the best I can, although I am not that seasoned myself. The case, I think, is fine, but the fans on it are worrisome. They're tiny and they have a potential to make the case noisy. Plus, I don't think the Thermalright heatsink you stated would fit in it. Try for some ...

Thanks for the replies! If you enjoy fiddling with things though, there's loads of options - you could install Linux and build a fileserver, a firewall/router/gateway, a web server, email server... the possibilities are endless really... It would only involve the cost of the HDDs (which you'd have t...

Ok, so I have recently acquired an old Dell XPS T600r. It was pretty good in its heyday, which is almost a decade ago--but it's pretty slow, and even with 640MB of RAM and GeForce 2 MX in the slot, it cannot do much. Plus the fans are pretty loud. So here is my question: should I keep this computer?...

Hey guys, I have an older rig with micro ATX case. It was making a racket when I built it from leftover parts--and I pinpointed the source of noise (well, worst offender anyway) to my old Samsung hard drive. I tried to silence it with a few different methods (putting it on foam, suspending it...) to...

So I bought a new hard drive--WD1600AAJS--because my old hard drive started whining a bit and became slower. I decided that, as it has one 160GB platter, this would fit the bill--it did, in a way. The idling is quiet, really near silent. There's less of the noise than my old SP1612N--which is quite ...

How are you booting up? Mine sometimes locks up when using the USB drive. Download the IMG file, burn it to a CD, and try booting it up from there--it works for me

Okay--gotcha. Funny thing, though; newegg doesn't seem to have the WD1600AAJS. I wonder if they sell it under the same designation, and I must take my chances? Or should I get one from elsewhere? I'd just rather pick one up at Best Buy because they're in retail packaging, but they're just vanilla JS...

I was looking around Tom's Hardware and found Western Digital hard drive with designation WD1600AAJS--I haven't seen the "AA" designation before. My Samsung is starting to develop somewhat louder seek sound, so I figure it's time for a hard drive change. Is "AA" model any different from the regular ...

I agree, as for me as long as chipsets can be cooled passively it's all fine. As for something single-core CPU and chipsets, I'm not a huge fan of semi-proprietary chipsets for Mobile Pentium / Core Solos. How about Turion 64s? They're (I think) faster than your Northwood, and even if the mobos don'...

I was roaming about Newegg and saw that Arctic Cooling had new fans out: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835186006 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835186007 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835186008 I'm tempted to try one, but I honestly...

Not too long ago quite a few things happened to my computer: my WD drive kinda died, the IDE cable got burned (really!) and I had to reinstall the OS. While taking out one of the hard drives, I decided to suspend my hard drive. As I mentioned earlier the space is at a premium in the eMachines cases....

If you don't mind going the "desktop/media center" route, NSK2400 actually seems pretty nice. You can swap out the PSU on that thing to a Seasonic and such.

As for tower cases... I'm brain-dead and I'm using silenced eMachines case. I have nothing for you.

Never mind about considering to keep the Sempron; my mobo can only overclock, not underclock.

With the right motherboard the non-C'n'Q "E6" revision Sempron 2600+ can run cooler than any of the C'n'Q E6 chips. I didn't know that; it might be an okay idea to try underclocking then. But then, I honestly don't want to semi-permanently make my chip slower... if the stuff on my computer fired up...

w00t, overkill It makes my fan-turned-off AC Freezer 64 like nothing.

What did you make the duct with, though? Looks neat.

Thanks for the help about the fileserver. For now I am sifting through Craigslist for any nice used cheap system. Needless to say it's not going that well, but I digress :roll: So, a question. I have a S754 Sempron, 2600+, E6 revision. While the computer is fine (although it soon won't be after I ge...

Thanks for all your help! By the way--my needs? I guess my needs are not complicated: it will be a simple fileserver with my documents, movie files, music, and all miscellaneous junk that I don't necessarily need to keep in my main computer (meaning, non-program related files). I will have two compu...

I looked around online, and now they came up with the Lithium-Ion version, which supposedly is as good as cordless version (alas, you still need to recharge though :lol: ). They are about the same as the corded multispeed versions in terms of price (and they also seem to use the same motor), which j...

Okay--then I guess I'll stick with Windows 2000 for time being; that's the OS i am most familiar with (and I guess that's not necessarily a bad thing?). As for the hardware, though, I only said Celeron D because it is cheap (they seem to hit rock bottom--with $40 for a 315). Perhaps, although my gut...

It's late at night, and I'm sleepy, so I'll answer quickly. Answer? Probably. Pentium is about 95W, mobo+ram should be... 40W with a liberal estimate, hard drive with 15W, optical drive at 15W, X800 XL at 50W. Even at peak it shouldn't top 300W. No, don't try and use all the hardware running at the ...
