Wouldn't it be great if deleting posts was supported?

I've been very happy with my Ultra-Kaze 120mm fans, and have taken to placing them anywhere I can fit them in (with thermocouple based speed controlers), including my office box, my HTPC, and my compile and file servers. For my ears at least, I like their sound better than the Noctua NF-P's and or N...

Overstock.com has the unit for sale at US$40. It doesn't appear all that hard to find in the US, at least.

I was seriously considering the FSP Zen for my HTPC, but this looks like a much better fit for the NSK2480.

Bah! Patent infringement lawsuit!:D All kidding aside, I've also noticed nickel plated designs coming out incorporating tubercules (bumps) as well within the last month. The researchers are also focusing on the pleats, riblets, and tubercules on the upper surface, not just trailing edge surfaces: ht...

I strongly suggest trying a LiveCD first if you're interested in Linux.



Some of the ones I like include:
Ubuntu
Knoppix
SuSE
Fedora

A $20 cooler that's way better than Intel's stock coolers is worth noticing. That's something I hadn't thought of- from reading the posts here, I was under the impression that people weren't all that price sensitive. Sometime I forget my stats basics and the implications of self-selected samples. :...

Uh, pushpins? 92mm fan? Cookie cutter design? No thanks. Something I didn't get from the article: What exactly is it about this product that would have an appeal for the spcr audience? I'm not trying to imply that the review was worthless, but I do think other products, even a breakdown of Intel Sto...

can't tell you how to tweak your system in linux but i would advise you to check the bios for whatever power-saving settings there are. there're a lot of voltage options to play with. . If anyone is interested in tweaking their system in Linux, cpufreq-set lets you set power profiles from the CLI, ...

It looks like a nightmare for getting a large heatsink'd mobo in- I wonder why Antec didn't ditch the steel division plate between the two chambers? Has Antec solved their problems with the plastic rapidly degrading? I had an original P180, and the tabs and other protruding plastic parts became brit...

The Ultra Kaze 1000 rpm fan is the best fan I've ever used in terms of CFM/dB. The quality of the noise is low and steady. I've stuck them in wherever they fit in my HTPC, Servers, and Desktops. I hope they turn out to be as reliable as the Nexus fans they supplanted. It doesn't hurt that they're le...

Stick a fork in DTX... Wow! I'm shocked! Shocked and dismayed! Sometimes I hate it when I'm right. Seriously, I wish AMD would stop burdening itself with unnecessary distractions and get back to kicking Intel's rear. And no, I don't hate AMD, I'm 100% certain I'd be stuck with Tualitin technology a...

[quote="Bluefront"]Drudge is the person who exposed Clinton as a fraud, liar, and a sexual pervert, if you remember......before anybody else did. So he does serve a useful purpose.

The best part about state sponsored revenge killings is that it miraculously brings murder victims back to life while teaching that killing is wrong at the same time.

Not much power draw either...

Recent reliability reports on retailer sites range from atrocious to horrendous. I don't think I've seen comments on drives that uniformly bad since the IBM Deathstar.

Go ahead, trust no one. If you want to live your life like a frightened rabbit, go ahead, but...

You won't have the energy left to get anything done, enjoy what you have, or leave a positive impact on this mortal coil.


As Ronald Wilson Reagan once said: "Trust, but verify.".

Have you looked at AMD/ATI FireMV based cards?

I'm using one on my (Linux) based WS, replacing my old Matrox- it's been rock solid and sips power when not in use. I initially installed Vista64 on it for laughs, and it ran Aero without any problems.

There is absolutely NO WAY that any desktop computer can come close to requiring a 690watt PSU!!!

But wait, the reviewers at 3Dxxxxxxn said I need a 1Kilowatt supply!

Please don't tell me it's marketing hype, or some reviews are influenced by advertising revenues!

After buying a Lian Li PC-S80 case... Because of this "restricted" air flow I felt that Noctua P-12s (based on numerous reviews) would be a good choice to further cool and quiet my machine. ... So in the PC-S80 with my system the Noctua fans are a costly disappointment. Same here, (File Server) PC-...

If someone calls it global warming, ignore whatever else they have to say. People who know what they're talking about call it global climate change. The equator gets and retains the lion's share of infrared radiation the sun puts out, meaning that there is more of an energy difference to equalize th...

You didn't mention throughput/bandwidth/latency requirements, so I'm going to assume this is a home install.

Have you looked into an OpenWRT based router? A $30 Buffalo makes a surprisingly good, low power, firewall if you're ot CLI squeamish.

I can't wait for all the l33t gAm3rz to discover that their 3XTR3M3!!!! SLI rig has just removed 2GB of address space from their computer. At least it should make for a nice run of ad hits for people who run sites catering to spoiled children or sites explaining the badly outdated memory model left ...

I think you'd probably get more useful replies if you stated what kind of software you're using (e.g. Aperture, Photoshop, Illustrator, Autodesk, VersaCAD, Maya, DiCOM), your budget, and your technical background. "Graphics" is a very broad term, and different kinds of software have different hardwa...

I've (literally) cut my SOHO computer power consumption by 40% and saved quite a bit of room, too. It's really a godsend if you're forced to use multiple Operating Systems- performance on consumer grade systems isn't half bad, it's easier to set up and use than you might think, and its a great way t...

Can someone please explain how a 45W chip will make the PC quieter? I have read a couple of reviews that talk about how it is great for this but none explain how. The chain of logic is: 1) Reducing voltage at a constant current results in lower power. Power = (Voltage)(Current). Power can be expres...

Whats the big fuss over the new fan design? who cares about .1DB? is he wrong or is everyone just crazy? C r a Z y would explain a lot, but I think the attraction is that the fan allegedly moves more air against resistance than the 7-blade. So, if you wanted to create a positive pressure case silen...

I was just wondering if you were using the mesh fan grill that came with the case or not. I'd assume not but I'd like to be sure. I should have included that detail, sorry. Other "mods" I've made for sound include: 1) Removed both Lian-Li Grills and have one cheap wire grill on the outside of the c...

Humor is missing in most, if not all, reviews- which is a shame, because it's such an effective device. I appreciate your efforts! P.S. Yes, a Ninja fits with zero issues in my hands, but I use a Thermalright bolt-through kit. (Those ________ push pins could not have been designed and tested by anyo...

(Alternate Title: The case of the suffocated Lian-Li A05B) Introduction: This is a poorly organized, statistically invalid, mostly subjective, review of the Scythe "ULTRA KAZE" 120 x 38 mm Case Fan - Low fan.

The most efficient way to do the computational work is to cram 64K Power5 derived processors in one location and skip the distributed circle jerk nonsense.
