i had the first eee pc and i prefer its keyboard for the most part to the dell's. i got my eee pc for 399 and the dell for 299. i have since sold the eee pc since 4gb is not enough to work with.

8gb on the dell is much better. the trackpad on the dell is superior to the one on the eee pc.

are there any non antec 200mm fans for the one on top of the mini p180?

thanks for the reply. yeah i know about all the goodness of ahci, hotswap and stuff--it's a shame the spcr-speced t3 barebones has such an old southbridge and doesn't support all those neat storage features like multiplication. i ended up using a backplate off the 1 (out of 3) free onboard sata port...

Now after reading up on it, I know eSATA ports output more juice and the external cables are shielded but...is there any harm in using one of the onboard SATA ports on my mobo (that does not specifically support eSATA or port multiplication)to go to a backplate exSATA port to use with an enclosure w...

the single card coolers are ALWAYS noisier.

It doesn't have to sit ON a desk.

Got one of these for $139.99 CAD (on sale this week at NCIX for $129.99) and I'm surprised at how nice and well-made it is. Thought it'd be stereotypical Chinese gadget but the fit and finish on it are real nice. No RAID since I don't go for that (the RAID version is about $100 more) but essentially...

protip: use www.pricecanada.com, pricebat.ca or my favorite, shopbot.ca also ncix.com, directcanada.com, bestdirect.ca, compu2000.com, nxsource.com are all sister companies and the prices will vary among them so use ncix and pricematch when buying online to your heart's content--99% of the time it w...

You would think the silent PC crowd would be understanding and appreciate the justification for this premium.

zalman has always been overpriced/underperforming in canada.

buy the arctic cooling stuff. a few months ago the freezer pros were <$20 on sale.

i wish they could make the card SHORTER.

canadian dollar is under 78 cents us now.

it takes and works with 4gb though you will get only 3.x gb usable just like every other 32-bit system due to memory being reserved for i/o for video cards. i ordered the base station w/o vista (i have vista ultimate) with 4gb ram. so e7300. i wish i didn't have to pay for the privilege of sending b...

I don't hate Macs, I just think the are less open to usefull software and freeware. We are stuck with the utterly annoying imaging software (microscopy) here at Uni, which drives me completely mental - no keyboard shortcuts... mouse mouse mouse, clicketyclick, mouse, mouse, etc. You are simply wron...

Overall satisfied with the system once I replaced the: -HDD -video card -DVD burner but cheesed off at not having an advanced RMA option at purchase/checkout for the system or having them cover shipping back a DOA defective HDD. As it stands, I'm out another $20 or so to courier out their defective ...

http://tibrium.neuf.fr/DXVASupport.html Unfortunately the MPC-HC decoder only supports the "bitstream mode" at this stage, which means that only the most recent graphic cards are supported : * nVidia series 8(9)xxx for H.264 only * ATI Radeon HD series for H.264 and VC-1 decoding "Motion compensatio...

Read the SPCR review for how quiet the Studio is.

plexapp.com is great for mac.

Matija should stop thread-crapping.

mini 10 has lower resolution than 9, and is hardware limited to 1gb ram.

for hackintosh, never go amd. you will save yourself unimaginable hassle.

go intel and go as close to actual mac spec as you can get.

I am surprised to see such hatred towards the Mac Mini's on this forum... I half expected a dedicated Mac Mini sub-forum and only found this single thread. i guess some people who can't afford them are a little resentful and have to go out of their way to crap on a forum dedicated to 'prebuilt' and...

That's not exactly a growth market.

asus burner is REALLY loud burning at max speed.

my pioneer was quieter.

loving the ddr4 4670 with zalman fan.

so much so i have fan set to 60% manually all the time. the fan noise is soft enough i don't mind it.

i got dxva working with mpc homecinema and vista on my 4870 after installing some cyberlink powerdvd dll.

i thought dxva didn't work in xp?
