    Extremely Offensive BenQ Ad

    It does kinda look like the WTC. But I think offence isn't something that's very univerally quantifiable. I'm not offended. And yes it's likely to be viewed as distasteful in the US, but the website was .cn and the text on that screenshot looked like Chinese. And maybe they don't find it...

    Pick 5!!

    All games PC. -> Half-Life 1. This game will never die. It took me months to beat and get tired of the singleplayer game. Then I spent months on HLDM. Then OP4DM. (OK, that might be cheating just a bit...) Then TFC. Then CS. Then for a while it was Science & Industry. The for a while it...

    Can someone critique my plain old fan setup?

    You said your video card's running kinda warm. I've had some luck in the past with those little slot blower fans. Stuff like this guy: http://www.xoxide.com/slotcooler.html . They don't push a whole lot of air, but they're cheap and if you put it right above the video card you can get a decent...

    Show off your Heatsink thread

    Wow, I've never seen aluminum foil on a waterblock before... And it didn't leak? That, sir, is impressive. Oh yeah, noise in my setup is technically called "hella loud", but years of trying to watch TV with my mom in the room taught me to tune out background noise. :D

    Show off your Heatsink thread

    I'm really showing off the fan on my 'sink more than the sink itself... but the fan makes the sink in my opinion. This is the fan: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/de12tfexhisp.html 220 CFMs, about two and a half amps of +12v, and enough RPMs to confuse the sensor on my cheap eVGA...

    will a Micro ATX mobo fit in a standard ATX case?

    Yes, it will. It'll just use up half or so of the available space/screws/etc.

    Installing windows: it won't see my drives

    The motherboard doesn't differentiate between SATA/SCSI/RAID and vanilla IDE in the boot order, the BIOS has optios for "first boot device", second, third, and try other devices. The options are just "removable", "CDROM", "HDD", "LAN", "Disable". There is a seperate section where you can...

    Installing windows: it won't see my drives

    I've recently rebuilt my machine, and one of the things I wanted to do was to set up a RAID array with my two 160GB SATA drives. OK, go through all the array setup and everything, and then I go to install Win2k on it. Hit F6 to tell it about the RAID setup, load the drivers I got from my mobo...

    What strange, pointless things do you do in games?

    Remember how in Half-Life 1 you could pull the pin on a grenade but it wouldn't explode until you let go of it? I'd run around with a grenade in DM and go on kamikaze missions. It didn't work too well, except in Rocket Crowbar (man that was a fun mod, especially on crappy, poor-quality user-made...

    A8N SLI decision

    I'm looking to lay my hands on an SLI motherboard, and I'm leaning towards an A8N series. But I'm confused about all the different models. The "vanilla" one is only $106 at the egg, the duluxe and premium are in the mid 100s, and the 32x version is over 200 (read: out of the question.) But...

    Where did you buy your CPU cleaning supplies?

    Big jug of acetone from Ace hardware and a roll of generic paper towels. Eats through anything.

    cpu and case fans-if noise was not a concern?

    110 CFMs? I presume that's from a 120mm. That's nothing. Delta absolutely owns the high end. Here are the highest-output fans available that I know of, by size: 40mm: FFB0412VHN, 16 CFMs 60mm: FFB0612EHE, 50 CFMs 80mm: TFB0812UHE, 106CFMs 92mm: TFB0912UHE, 142 CFMs 120mm: TFB1212GHE, 220...

    Post PICs of your old cards!

    I don't know anyone else, just me. But I'm not beaten yet! I'll be back later today with an old Trio64.

    You know what would really make people buy a ppu?

    Yes. If it *COULD* fold. As of now it can't. Look on Stanford's Folding forums: http://forum.folding-community.org/viewtopic.php?t=11541
