will a gigabit ethernet card perform as fast as an onboard LAN chip (integrated to the motherboard), or would the pci slot introduce some bottleneck?

they do have 3 yr. dell sent me a replacement :) it's a bit brighter too. it's the newer model. i'll miss the power brick (foot warmer) because the AC->DC is now integrated into the panel, i hope it doesn't buzz.... i called at 5pm monday and it was delivered the next day, very pleased, i can see wh...

win98 no (yuck!) it's win2k
i'm not sure about warranty, i can't find the thing, but maybe it's still in warranty i thought dell have 3 year warranty perhaps?

anyone ever seen a problem like this or have any idea how to fix it? my much-loved monitor (dell 2001FP) has developed a big urine stain down the left side of the screen. R channel and G channel both seem to operating fine, but every second pixel on the blue channel is dead for a big vertical bar - ...

wow, i know it's an old post, but what i want to ask is still relevant - do you need to ground the suspension? i have the zalman heat pipes and it's grounded to the case - beside being separated with rubber. thanks, Dan. no. they are grounded through the cable, you can verify it yourself with an oh...

6 years later, a new version of DVAssist has been released

hi all, i have been out of the loop for a while and i need to buy new hardware fast but i don't have time anymore to read and study about all the options. sorry about the lazy post, i'm not asking anyone to do my research for me but if you know a board which meets my requirements (and won't break th...

The question I have now is..... Can a fanless PSU (such as the Silverstone ST30NF) cool its self enough without any forced air flow? To clarify, I dont mean inside a PC at this point (with the associated ambiant heat inside), but sat outside the case with just its own heat to deal with and allowed ...

adrianus i was in exactly the same situation and still am

elastic suspension makes a surprisingly big improvement but you probably can't fit it inside the tight case. i don't think you will be happy with any 3.5" drive. however since there is a 3.5" bay you will be able to fit a 2.5" in there for sure, you can buy 3.5" sized mounts for notebook drives. if ...

hi, it's not a proper review, but there is some mention of it in the HFX mini article http://www.silentpcreview.com/article678-page1.html The first component that I listened closely to was mCubed's new EF28 power brick which they introduced in our interview with them back in August. It's basically a...

ah, but convection cools the aluminium shell. i assumed that's what was meant.. the inclusion of floppy with drivers was not entirely stupid, you can use a USB floppy drive for these things re slipstreaming drivers; i had to do a fresh windows install on SATA disk recently, with no floppy drive, and...

that disconuity in the table for spl @ 65W, is this due to the buzzing you have mentioned?

reminds me of something my uncle has told me some years ago, he said in coming years less and less computer equipment would need the other rails and almost all load would move onto the 12V, well that certainly came true, and he went on to explain the best new standard for computer power supplies wou...

obviously, he meant 325 cubic feet per month

yes

a small amount of airflow over the bare (suspended) drive is a quieter way to cool it, in my experience..

i am very happy with my silverstone, fwiw, and i can't think of anything 'new' which a power supply needs to do, really!

it's really nice
i wonder if can get a review sample

hm, just noticed that link you gave shows SD11G5 and a G5 1100 (also this SD12G5 and a G5 1200). i assumed these were the same thing under a different name, does anyone know if the G5 1100 is not the same as SD11G5?

thanks, hopefully it was cancelled because they have a core 2 version coming instead

seagate barracuda IV are slightly better than samsung p80, but you may have trouble finding one they are quite old now. you could also use a 80GB notebook drive, this will be quieter, e.g. samsung MP0804H (2.5", ATA100, 5400rpm, 8MB cache) with a small adapter.

hi, sorry if the title got anyones hopes up
does anyone know if there are plans for a core 2 xpc with external power like the 11G5 and the zen got? i'm getting bored of waiting around..
i can only find one core 2 shuttle and it's that yukky p2 chassis (i'd really like g5)

i've just stumbled across http://www.pcmarket.com.au/ while looking for a sd11g5. i've not bought anything from this shop before, yet, but the site is easy to browse and the prices are very competitive. most prices listed include "free" shipping.

Can someone explain to me the fascination of the Reserator as a water cooling system. IMV, it is seriously flawed as an engineering design. A RESERvoir is a body of water in a tank. A radiATOR is a device for rejecting heat. (Wrongly named - it is actually a convector.) Put the two together and you...

i think you could change the title of your thread to 'please flame me!'

hi, my 'current setup' is a constantly evolving kind of thing, the computer insides changing so often..
but i have had a st30nf powering my personal system since june '05. it's going great, have never had any problem with this psu.

yes, no problem, harddrives are low power devices only consuming a few watts during operation, and 2 isn't 'many' anyway.
(my st30nf is running 3 big hard disks and a more hungry cpu just fine)
