My advice would be to create a barrier using plastic sheeting around the rack and duct outside air at the bottom of the rack and hot air at the top of the rack directed to the outside. I design data centers for a living and that's the most cost effective way to cool any IT equipment.

lol. That's probably close to the price it's worth from what I have heard.

Get Wolfenstein for $40 dollars for the 360 or PS3 or $30 for the PC. And the Gold Box has Video games titles today starting with Ghostbusters http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox

Datacenters are running hotter. ASHRAE continues to raise it's operating temperature guidelines for DC's about every time they issue a new TC 9.9 spec. I am pushing my DC up to 75 F and the exhaust temp of my equipment is no higher than 88 F. What datacenters need to do (and most new designs...

I use mediatemple for work and a few of my sites. Squarespace is very nice if you don't want to have to admin/install your own a CMS or blogging platform.

I am an avid Raptor user and after reading the reviews I picked a few of these up and absolutely love them. They are quiet, fast and run pretty cool. Couple all of that with a five year warranty and 32mb cache and you have one amazing piece of hardware.

Just picked one up. I have wanted this case for a while to upgrade my linux box. And at this price with free 3day I couldn't pass it up.

Just picked up a WD Black 640gb for 75 w/ 2day shipping.... woohoo!

Roughly $1600. Not cheap but a ton of room. I mount two Eaton monitored PDU's and run enough ethernet to populate a cisco 9500 MDS.

Blackbox makes a cheap (but good quality) 22U 4 post rack.

I really like Ortronics patch panels as well as Panduit.

I used to use Sever Tech but now I really like Eaton. They make an excellent three phase monitored PDU.

I would use a rack if you are on a budget or an enclosure if you want protection from tampering and contaminants. I would look at this company.

I use this cabinet. It's wide enough for cable management from front to back and deep enough for servers.

Here are the racks that I am partial to (http://www.werackyourworld.com/products/racks/four-post/). You can always pick up an enclosure, they cost more but look nicer and protect your equipment.

Spot coolers are typically used in datacenters to cool areas that do not have enough cooling and I have used them in wiring closets. They are probably your best bet. http://www.spot-coolers.com/?gclid=CNr9op-isZcCFUwb3godLCRpig Mitsubishi makes a few AC units built for that application but...

With some real time usage I could see myself being able to work it pretty quickly. I currently own a Gen 1 iPhone and it's actually a toss-up for my upgrade because I really like the iPhone interface but I am not a fan of coverage (i don't live in the city). What I am really interested in is...

Im using the evga brand right now. It's quite nice and runs stable and cool. The northbridge fan is noisy, so you may want to throttle it down to 40% or don't use it at all if you are using a good HSF.

If there is a game available now that you need the extra frames per second then I would recommend the second 4850. As for cooling I would tweak the the fan settings, I have had success with it. Or pick up an aftermarket cooler, which can definitely help. If there isn't a game that warrants a new...

The performance is roughly ten percent better than an 8800gt. Newer 8800's have the same core (g92) as the 9800's I own 9800's, 8800's in Sli, and 4850's and love them all. I prefer nVidia because I find their driver is easier to use or at least I have had a lot more experience with it. If...

low timings usually clock higher as they allow for more room if you O/C.

I use the corsair quite frequently. I like the low timings and the black heatsinks look very nice.

I picked one up and like the card. The game is so so.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121268 Card looks incredibly well built. The game isn't as good as COD 4 but it's free.

Every time I buy something it goes on sale the next week.

Just received my card and copy of Call of Duty 4..... All I can say is... why did wait so long to play this game! Great card too. Handles current gen games very well, runs pretty quiet, and folds very well. I'm pulling around 4600ppd.

Always wanted to use Galaxy. But have never had the chance. I have heard great things.

never heard of battleaxe

Good point. If you are on a budget then its a decent card with a great game at a good price. The HSF is an afterthought.

That HSF has been around for a while (too long). But it does the job and you can always upgrade the HSF to something more effective. I usually recommend upgrading your HSF from a cooling and especially a noise standpoint as video card fans are usually the loudest part of the system.

It actually comes with both XFX PVT98GYDLU Geforce 9800 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 (2.0v) Video Card Retail Free Game in Call of Duty 4 in with purchase That was taken from the top description. And the box includes the other game. They probably package COD4 w/ the card.

You save about $50 from the 9800gt with the quieter cooler.

I know. I have two 8800GT's in Sli and another Sli mobo that I could put these into..... for the FOLD!

XFX PVT98GYDLU Geforce 9800 GT They just dropped ten dollars more off and now it's under a hundred. Great card for folding w/ great game for free http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=10009177&ps=homain2

Price is now $19.99 AR. I just got my pair and it's running fine for me.

Yeah, they raised the price on it and now I would go for the SLi kit which is 25 after rebate.

I have only ever dealt with corsair rebate which went smoothly. The timings on these sticks aren't the greatest but it's for my linux dev box so I am not too concerned. I have to say that the response I have seen from this post has been nothing short of amazing and I thank all of you for your...

I ordered the kit above but I am looking to upgrade an SLi rig I have and I was wondering if SLi certified mem is worth it?

Has anyone had any experience with OCZ SLi branded kits.
