I have 2 hdd's: The first drive is 640GB and is divided into 3 partitions - First is 60GB for OS and Applications Second is 20GB for OS, Mediacruise and Adobe Premiere only with all unneeded services including internet turned off. This helps to avoid dropped frames when capturing video. Third is the...

if we assume this is a conspiracy, then under the "follow the money" plan, who are the conspirators? the TSA? my experiences with them is they're too fucking dumb to do anything.

Am I being too cynical here? 27th October: Minister calls for relaxation of airport security 30th October: Bombs found on cargo planes AFAIK it's not been announced how the bombs were discovered - routine checks? anonymous tip off? Edit - just heard on the news that the security services had a tip o...

Well, anyone who appreciates good food, fine wine, culture, chic women... oh yeah, I see your point.

Seriously though, you love your case, you could never replace it with something as good for $60 so why not do your bit for the world and fix it!

Much better now.

Welcome to SPCR!

I want two fans because I can't have only one -an airflow needs two Oh really? so what about extractor fans, car radiator fans, ceiling fans, propellers etc. You can even get an airflow with no fans - convection. As to my comment on blocking the rear fan, I meant remove the fan and block the hole. ...

Well, you could make your own easily enough with an old lead and one of these and a bit of modding to the back of your case.

I'm searching for case references with following caracteristics : -one 180/200/230 (the idea is > 120) front fan -one 180/200/230 rear fan -PSU at the top Any reason why you want the psu at the top? Generally, bottom mounted psu's are quieter as the air going through them is cooler than it would be...

What is an undisputed fact is that the earth is currently in an ice age, at the moment in an interglacial period. Another glacial period, if on a par with the last one (where the 200m thick ice sheet reached as far south as Manhattan and London) would be orders of magnitude more catastrophic for hum...

Was there something wrong with the old style? Is this just change for change's sake?

I have yet to see Christians bashing other faiths, such as atheists, attacking them in media and basically persecuting them. They have been doing little else for the last 1000 years. Although these days, fiddling with choir boys seems to be more popular than burning protestants at the stake. Easier...

The SeaSonic M12II 520W is looking pretty good, although I'm a little concerned about the noise levels. Also, I can't seem to find an efficiency graph for this PSU. Can anybody vouch for this particular model or know how it compares to other SeaSonic models? Thanks heaps for your time! Don't worry ...

The monitor has a 1280 x 1024 resolution (max 75mhz frame rate) At that resolution you should be fine with a 5750.

Get a PSU with a 120mm fan for quieter operation (EA-500 = 80mm). For a system this powerful (X4 or X6 + 5770) look for 450W+ (how about Corsair VX450?) so the PSU doesn't need to ramp up to keep cool. Go bigger if you want quiet. The Corsair VX450 powering an Athlon II X4 635 and sapphire 5750 was...

Another valuable and insightful comment from our friend Fayd.

I got a Seasonic M12 II Bronze M520 a couple of months ago and I'm very happy with it. As far as I can tell from the reviews, it's identical otherwise to the non-modular version. The VX 450 is in my circumstances at least, certainly a lot louder than the S12; I know that from personal experience bec...
