Remote desktop is really cool and that site doesn't list this, but XP Home doesn't have IIS! I'm really surprised it doesn't list that, it's a pretty big thing. I just bought an OEM XP Pro since I don't think I would be able to scrounge another free XP Pro key from U of I (it's ~legit :) ). At least...

I'd just like to share that the system I build for my parents is a PIII 1Ghz Coppermine FCPGA2 on a Tyan board and it boots faster than any machine I've ever seen. The CPU heatsink feels like room temperature. It is very cool, only warm thing is the Geforce2 heatsink (fanless). Those PIII 1.4 Tualit...

SONOVA, my session timed out looking at articles :evil: and I lost my friggin post, I'll try to recreate it: That stand is absolutely great! As You can see in the here , the stand is really flexible, and makes it possible to use the screen like it has no stand at all (see the second pic). Very good ...

No, that's a bad thing. Now stagnant air will get caught under the cards. The fans on the bottom of a graphics card push the air out across the surface of the card, thus disapating the heat. With the fan on the topside, the air would quickly rise off the surface of the card. well ideally there woul...

I don't know what response time my 5 year old Gatway 15" (DFP) LCD gets but I get no ghosting in Quake 3 when I jerk my guy around really fast while looking at a bright object. I just tried it to be sure. I just put in Snatch and tried to see some DVD ghosting and didn't see it. I am a gamer and I d...

I read in some review that ranked "goops" and the Zalman stuff was quite high, right behind the Arctic Silver stuff

Hey, is it just the seek noise that is louder on the 7200.7 than the other Barracudas? That's the idea I've been getting from reading lots of things on this. I really don't mind seek noise since it basically happens when you are doing something. The whine is the main headache inducing enemy.

Samsung 172t: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=0&submit=Go&description=172t This one is great, I'm probably going to get one. Notice that this and the other Samsung mentioned have 25ms response time. People talk about ghosting but I'm sure with these high quality monitors on DVI that t...

I just cut two small 2by4s to put under my case. Case makers always manage to sneak in the floor intake on the bottom of the front bezel. Tom - maybe at work it's a little louder so you perceive the Dell to be quieter :) They are very quiet though, I have a Dell at work and I don't think it has a cp...

that's why we need some help from MikeC on this

They are really fast, the order process is set up really nicely too. The closest outlet they had to me was Chicago and I think they got it to me on the second day after the night I ordered it. Those fanmounts things are soo cool.

uh does that subject sound funny to anyone else? heh hehehe

anyway, this article has a little info that might help: http://www.silentpcreview.com/modules.p ... d=9&page=1

Wow yeah it has a real SATA power connector. Do many PSUs have these now? I haven't really looked around but I haven't seen any.

hehe, yeah we have some power here huh

check out the Video section of the forum, it's heating up with 9800 pro stuff

I just cut out the rear 120mm grill on my SLK3700AMB case like Ralf and Wedge did but I used the Yellow M3 Wiss tin snips :shock: because that's what my dad had. I used a jigsaw and the tin snips on the middle part of the grill to try them both out and I went with the snips. It turned out really wel...

I bought it from a Canuck store that seemed like a pretty nice place: http://www.bytewizecomputers.com/products/7/7/446 both versions of the I875 are here... and yes it does look sweeeeet, been antsy for a while now waiting for it. I splurged and got the ANNRF, the fancier one :) Make sure you set t...

Let us know how you get on MikeK. all right, I will, I still have to wait for my MOBO which I believe hasn't gotten to any stores in North America as of today. We'll see tomorrow. Whether you need the fan or not will depend on the particulars of your case ventilation I will probably have very nice ...

Yeah, that A64 does look nice, now all we need is a 64-bit OS and some 64-bit apps to take advantage of it and we'll be set.......

Thaaaaat'll cost ya!

I play on buying the Super Tornado 400 or 350 when they come out

I wouldn't mind taking it off your hands ;) Heh, you pay shipping and $345. Wow, just checking newegg, they have it at $364. Anyway, it's mine precioussss. The big heatpipe cooler thing on the Sapphire Ultimate is a Zalman heatpipe Oh wow you're right Rusty, I didn't see the pipe before in the newe...

so how do you propose to fix it? Also, what brand is your card? possibly it has slightly different parts.

I just bought the built by ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb and now I see in another thread Sapphire's passively cooled Ultimate version. I haven't yet built my system but the video card fan is bound to be one of the louder things in there (but my RAdeon 9000 Pro w/ fan is pretty quiet). What do you think ...

yes get some 120mm fans on the recommended list (for my Antec 3700 )

cool, I have a 9000 pro in my current computer and was wondering about it. The fan on mine doesn't seem too loud, the CPU fan and WD HDD are louder right now and I can't hear it. I'll have to eventually do this.

Here's where I bought my 3700AMB, it's $67.20 http://www.knowledgemicro.com/detail.php?name=CA-3700AMB I am a bit jealous of this new case but there are some reasons why I like mine better. I don't like the turned HDD cage, SATA or not. The 3700AMB's drive cage slips out so easily. I have decided I ...

I've wondered this before but this brings it up again, why the hell are GPUs on the bottom of video cards? Those suckers get hot. Also I was wondering, Rusty said if you have the Zalman heatpipe you want the fan pointing at the edge. Isn't the Zalman heatpipe a big enough beast that you wouldn't nee...

The 7200.7 has an 8.5ms seek time and an 8mb cache! The Cuda V has a 9.4ms seek time and a 2 mb cache. I can't wait to have my 7200.7 up and running in my new system. That is just too much performance to pass up.

If you're expecting a lightning strike, I definitely recommend the 2gauge, just make sure you have some more 2gauge going out from your case.
