    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    Thanks for the idea but the switch is just temporary and doesn't bother me for the time being. It's actually for a multi-monitor setup controlling two computers (which my G5 and G15 will be controlling using a KVM). I just didn't want to have to force one of my monitors to switch with them...

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    A big thanks to the both of you, I knew exactly what to blame the instant I read "cable." I guess since I figured it was a monitor setting or adjustment of somesort, I didn't think to point a finger at my vga switch... And taking it off of there solved the problem. But I put it right...

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    Has anyone else encountered an 'echoing' issue on their fw900? I notice it most in text and my desktop icons, but only when the two colors are very different (light on dark, dark on light). I see multiple images of whatever I'm looking at drifting off to the right. <--I see another "t." at...

    DFI to strike out with the DFI LANParty JR X58-T3H6

    I was very excited to see this board be released. One of the cooler things about it is the two 16x slots that support both SLI and crossfire! However, I like having a dedicated sound card, on board audio has always bothered me. The sucky thing about reserving a pci slot for my sound is...

    Plz help building new rig for Diablo 3....

    Just get an E8400 from intel. It's dual core, instead of quad core like the Q6600 that I'm sure your friend suggested. The thing is though, it handles games quite well because of its high stock clock of 3.0ghz, and most games (for the time being) don't put 4 cores to use. By the time D3...

    Two pumps in one loop, advice

    It's a lian-li v2000b that I've chopped to hell and back. I cut the hard drive cages and moved them over the psu, which is using a 24 pin Y-splitter to power two motherboards. It's a silverstone 1000 watt single 12v rail psu. One motherboard in the usual spot, and one mounted on a mobo plate...

    Two pumps in one loop, advice

    It's one loop that cools two motherboards contained within a single case, with ONE reservoir. I'm considering two pumps in one of my loops to keep the flow rates up, yes. I don't really have room for another reservoir (it wouldn't look nice beside the other one). This case has a bit of a...

    Two pumps in one loop, advice

    I'm still working on a computer that I posted about here many months ago, unfortunately the fall semester put a stop to my efforts. So now that it's the break, it's time to buckle down and finish my beast. But of course, 4 months of playing with new ideas has led me to one that I want to talk...

    Best thermal compound?

    I tried the IC Diamond 7 Carat Thermal Compound after reading a review that showed it beating out AS5 by a few degrees. I found it's incredibly hard to deal with, getting a good even thin coating on everything is incredibly difficult, its like stiff chewing gum when you squeeze it out of the...

    Two systems on a 700W

    Alright, I've tested most of my setup and have had no hangups. My 700w Silverstone power supply was able to run two systems at the same time, each with dedicated graphics and multiple hard drives. I've expanded my build a bit and am confident that using the 700w will still work, but I'd be...

    E8400 Vs. E8500: Does it really matter?

    I guess these three days made a decent difference. The E8500 is $210 on newegg at the moment. And if you can find an E8400 for $130, please share. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115036 It was also my understanding that the e8500 cores were binned for higher fsb...

    Enough radiators to handle the heat?

    I'm not too worried about corrosion: http://mcs.pc.pl/shop_img/thermaltake/CL-W0021%20AquaBay_1.jpg In that pic it really appears that the tubing the water will come into contact with is copper, which then touches the aluminum fins. All of both loops should be entirely copper. Do you...

    Enough radiators to handle the heat?

    Hey guys, I just about to get starting on putting my new liquid cooled system together. The Third radiator and second pump arrive on Friday. So it's now that I'm starting to have second thoughts. There are two loops in my system, with a common reservoir. The first loop uses a little low...

    RAID 0 questions for old Raptors

    Grabbed my old 74gb raptors out of their machines and intend to put them in my newest creation. Both are the original 8mb cache versions, which are now slower than pretty much every normal 7200 rpm SATA II drive you can buy now.. but whatever, I want to put them to good use. 74gb on my main...
