Isn't the preponderance of your electric power in B.C. sourced from hydroelectricity? Probably around 80%, but dams also have serious ecological impact and demand is rising at 1.7%, and plans are afoot to build new power generation sources. Almost regardless of what they build, it will have some ki...

For the life of me, I don't understand this obsession with CPU idle power consumption. It's somewhere on the order of only 15% of the power draw of the system at idle (with a low power system). Furthermore, your getting all hot and bothered about 2 - 3w; that's like $0.25 worth of electricity in a ...

I agree with t' Nut, the i3 cpu seems would of more interest here. Also most other sites seem to think the i5 processors are overpriced for what you are getting.

Way to go Boise State Broncos!

"For ages we have been saying that printer ink provided by HP was obscenely expensive. However now a graph has appeared on the internet which confirms that it is the most expensive fluid in the world. (Not really, bull seamen still costs more. sub.ed.) The graph shows that human blood is pretty expe...

I have the Brisbane uv to 1.008v. I upped the FSB to 220, so 2.2GHz. It seems fast enough for what I do with the computer, surfing and HTPC and no gaming. Would the AM3 235e, 2.7 GHz and 45w and 4000mhz hyper transport and 2mb cache, use less power, but also offer a noticeably snappier performance? ...

I grabbed my 605e from ExcaliberPC almost a month ago now. It's been darned hard to find and in fact the first store I found in North America was in a Canada seller that didn't ship to the US. Argh! And now Excaliberpc shows it as a "discontinued item" Seems like there are some strange availability...

so this morning the 4850e is marked as unavailable and now the 5050e is up at sixty bucks. Veeeery curious.

but they charge shipping on most items, unlike ZipZoomFly. "FREE Shipping offer valid on orders over $100 with a weight of 35lbs. or less. This offer is only valid for orders that qualify for and ship via UPS Ground Shipping within the contiguous lower 48 States (AK, HI, PR and International orders ...

I don't know how quiet it is, but 500GB for US$40 how can you complain. Put it outside with eSata.

So will this fit right into an Antec Solo, or would I have to do some customizing?

Although now seems like an odd time with the AM3 cpus now becoming prevalent.

The 905e is 65W, so if you want the lowest TDP (AMD) quad core possible (45W) you'll have to go for an Athlon II (600e, 605e). As far as I know there's no Phenom II with 45W TDP at the moment. Does anyone know where I can purchaee the Energy Efficient Athlon II processors (eg. 240e, 600e, 605e) in ...

"The passive cooling on the CPU does require a system fan, for optimal cooling. The heat sink measures 36mm off the upper side of the main board. DO NOT use this board without a fan in the system." quoted from OP's link. so while it may be a very good solution it is not what I would call passive. It...

Were you happy with ZZF packaging?" Very much so. It was in a clear plastic box which itself was tightly packed into a Styrofoam box with a pull out tray. This was all packed in a brown cardboard box with ample Styrofoam "peanuts". I don't think anyone could expect it to be packed any better. The or...

gotta be damn near 0db" I use minis as they take a lot less power, but none are zero db. You must try to listen to them in a store. A propane unit is an inexpensive option for an economical running and silent solution, but they are expensive to purchase. However, if you are handy with a few tools yo...

Ordinarily I wouldn't suggest it as a cheap drive but right now the Samsung drive seems to be in high demand and the price has been distorted. Okay, everybody start rubbishing the Samsungs. Hopefully, then, the demand drops and so does the price. bought a 500G Eco from ZZF for US$50. Free shipping ...

Yeh, I read that. I should have said, "Is apparently never going to work with the 3000 series".

Has anyone else been playing around with these? I watched the Ninja Assassin trailer with my Asus 3450 card and cpu pegged at 100% a number of times. CPU is an old Brisbane 4000x2 OC'd to 2.6. It has the 2000Mhz Hyper Transport. The 10.1 apparently does not work with the 3000 series cards. I tried i...

Veteran's Day in the USA (November 11) originally was a day to remember those who gave their lives in defense of their country. Now it is something a little different. I have misgivings about how militaristic the USA has become. It is difficult to get elected to office if you aren't a veteran (jingo...

I don't know how suited it exactly is to the SPC crowd, but definitely interesting and would be quite the toy for Christmas or the holidays.
