    Where can I order large sheets of steel or aluminum mesh?

    I had issues finding the stuff around Portland OR, so I eventually ordered online from this place: http://www.ronshomeandhardware.com/Sheet-Aluminum-s/1336.htm *EDIT- misread, thought you wanted sheets BIGGER than 2x2* Major mod sites like FrozenCPU carry the stuff

    This build is soooooo sloooooow!

    Update! I finally got some time with the holiday to look at this issue some more and it appears to have been a bad BIOS image all along. I attempted to update to the latest 0085 revision using the exe method, but it failed and left the board non-posting. So I followed the recovery method...

    Cheapest way to have 8+ HDD in raid 1 arrays

    My suggestion is to ditch the mobo idea. Just bite the bullet and invest in a moderate SATA or SAS raid card. Its a little more spendy upfront than what you're looking at now but it will pay for itself over the long term. The 3ware 9550 series can be had for less than $200 on ebay (they are...

    This build is soooooo sloooooow!

    As an update, finished the base rebuild on the 160 GB raid 0, HDTune numbers: 71.0MB/s min 115.2MB/s max 95.2MB/s avg 13.2 ms access time 82.8 MB/s burst 6.5% CPU That was late last night so I didnt time the boot process again. Its rapidly looking like the motherboard is the cause of...

    This build is soooooo sloooooow!

    As an update to my big post above, Bench building the machine did nothing (except draw blood, ouch!) Different keyboard/mouse- no dice I'm on to rebuilding on regular hard drives again.

    This build is soooooo sloooooow!

    ran HDTune and I'm rather disappointed, 19 MB/s min 32.6 MB/s max 27.9 MB/s avg 3ms access time 23.4 MB/s burst 2.1% CPU So I'll begin another rebuild on a pair of WD1600JS

    This build is soooooo sloooooow!

    Thank you everyone who replied! Multiple responses here so bear with me: No I have not! Its worth a try! I'll give this a try before the above. LOL! Yes I agree Vista is bloated and slow! However the fact that it dosent run as slow on either my workstation or game rig should say...

    Already covered this, Now granted that SATA drive I used was no Raptor, but it still made no difference.

    This build is soooooo sloooooow!

    Can someone on [H] point out what I've done wrong with my HTPC build that would cause it to be so freaking slow? First off, here's the specs: Intel DG45ID, latest BIOS & drivers E8500, stock cooler RAM- I've gone from 2GB(2x 1GB) PC2-5400 to 4GB(4x 1GB) PC2-6400 to 4GB (2x 2GB) PC2-8500...

    Airtight case

    You said you had looked at conformal coating, but did you also look at protecting the connectors with dielectric grease? Otherwise since you've said water cooling is out of the picture I'd second the above posts for improved filtering/isolated environmental control. Although, any chance of...
