[the boxes were delivered with Samsung drives (not sure which exact model, but they were 80G and 120G PATAs) and my sysadmin guys asked Systemax to replace them with IBM-Hitachi drives. The sysadmin guys say that they've had a very high failure rate of Samsungs (about half they claim!).. this conce...

I run Sophos AV on my XP box and it has never caused any problems. It folds 24/7 with the CLI client now, but I have used the GUI client without problem in the past too.

My worry is that I could break my whole farm. That would be "a bad thing". So I probably won't upgrade, unless I find some compelling need to do so. LTSP-4.0 does look really cool though. Ahhh. The voice of reason that I really should listen to. After a week of cursing, compiling, breaking things, ...

I guess the new points system will mean people folding with the google toolbar plugin will get a massive points boost too. Tinkers all the way with google. I don't suppose a huge number of google users hack the registry to fold for their own team, even though the toolbar is a simple way of borging m...

I'd go with the cheapest pc you can get your hands on - you can sometimes pick up old Pentium 133's or the like for free.

Add a load of disks.

Run linux with samba.

I've bought serveral generic unbranded 300W psu's for £5 ($8.50 ish) and they haven't been all that bad. Don't keep any in my own systems, but for a cheap a$$ machine for someone else ...

No. The SX2 and SX2 pro are very different. If you can't get the SX2 pro then the SX1 is the next best 120mm NB fan. The standard SX2 is loud

geordie

I've only tried the Nexus, but I'm more than pleased with it.

Cheapest UK retailer was Novatech last time I looked. They also do a decent price on the Zalman.

geordie

If you're going with Noiseblocker fans I would get the 120mm SX2 Pro Blacksilence. It is as good as inaudible at 5v, much better than the SX1. The 80mm S3 isn't all that quiet. I have a few S2's which are pretty good at 5v. For the intake on a sonata (or should I say to cool the hdd) and S1 would pr...

Well it took me about 10 hours last night, but I eventually managed to get Gentoo installed and running. I followed the install guide on the web as best I could. My kvm switch got a good work out at least :). I was flicking between machines virtually every 30 seconds to check the next step then type...

I'm pretty sure now that the problem is these new distributions. Mandrake 10 and Fedora 2 beta 2 both have kernel 2.6 and everything else is still on 2.4. So the solution would appear to be getting something older like Mandrake 9.2 or Fedora 1 etc.

geordie

Thanks guys. Seems like the newest releases are best left to those who can sort out the odd problems. I'll have to have patience and try Gentoo again. I think it was acpi I added to the kernel last time that killed it. Just go for the minimum this time and get it working. And I've always got Mandrak...

I decided to post here since my linux box will be folding 24/7 once it's up and running :) Over the last few weeks I have downloaded and tried 3 different distros - gentoo, mandrake 10 and fedora 2 beta 2 (1.91). I just about got gentoo installed a few weeks ago, then trashed the kernel putting in s...

Since those Biostar boards lost the vcore setting in v7.0 I believe the best mATX board is the AOpen MK79G-N

geordie

Given that you can buy passive 9600 pros then I'd say it's fairly safe just to unplug the fan. You say you have decent case airflow anyway which should do the job.

geordie

Well the wu finished normally so I guess the answer is not to worry about it.

I did have one thought that it may be caused by user switching in WinXP.
Don't see why since I have it running as a service though (with -service on the command line too)

I have the same preference for power connector placement, but given this board seems perfect otherwise then I can live with it.

Next time I order this will be on the list. I'll let you know what it's like

geordie

Has anyone tried the AOpen MK79G-N?

If I can't guarantee getting any more v1.0 (or the new 7.2) Biostar M7NCG-400's then this was my next best thought for a mATX nForce2 board. Would be nice to have confirmation that it can under/overvolt before buying though.

geordie

Both of mine are also v1.0 and do have voltage adjustment.

I just swapped the 380S out of my Sonata for a Fortron FSP350-60PN(PF).
Wish I hadn't

. The Fortron is louder and the fan clicks badly. I wouldn't buy Fortron unless you're happy to do some modding.
The Nexus NX-3000 in my other machine is very quiet though

. Highly recommended.

geordie

If your computers are getting louder after a few years, my first guess would be the amount of dust accumulated inside them is now causing the fans problems. Have you given them a spring clean?

geordie

The pro is much quieter than the blue ones. From the specs: SX2 Pro Blacksilence 12-26 dBA at 5-13v, 64cfm @12v SX2 Blue 18-34 dBA at 6-13v, 40-70 cfm Unfortunately I can't see airflow at 5v for the Pro listed anywhere for comparison. However, at 12v the pro pushes 64cfm @ 26dBA and the blue 70cfm @...

geordie

I have the SX2 Pro Blacksilence 120mm Noiseblocker fan. Very happy with it. I don't have any of the others you mentioed to give a comparison though.
The specs you listed are for the standard SX2 which I think will be too loud.

geordie

Perhaps I should have been more explicit:

Code: Select all

Use close for the disconnect line instead of quit.
This closes the connection but doesn't exit ftp.
