i already have a new drive, I have a 7200.9 . but my system needs something more, mainly more space, and i was thinking if i can give it more space, and make it faster for 25 bucks. Im not considering buying a new drive, i have too many sitting on the shelf being dust collectors
edit*
I might try it anyway to see.. its only 25 bucks, i cant afford a faster drive, but i would lik ethe extra chanells for all the hdd's ive got lying aroudn. if it doesnt show an improvment then i still have 4 hdd's attached (old but they still hold the GB's) and if it does, then w00t.
I have two identical 8GB ata 100 drives lying around here. I was thinking about buying an ide raid card and hooking these up in a raid 0 (i think 0, whichever one is striping) for my system and games partition. or maybe just install a few games. currently i have an 80gb ide drive on my mobo. I...
um, all aluminum, anodized or not forms an oxide. anodizing however forms a uniform oxide and prevents corrosion (breaking off of pieces of oxide) copper is quite reactive, and will react, less readily than al, however far more redily than anodized al. I dont understand how plating copper...
thanks,
im kinda confused about the mad bashing of Al as a material in that article. Al has great thermal properties, just slightly less conductive than copper and lacking in thermal mass. but with a waterblock, thermal mass is minimal and has a limited effect on cooling anyway. Air cooling...
I have been tossing the idea of WC for awhile but never really needed too. I do however have access to a cnc milling machine at school, and i dont have much time at school left. I was wondering if anyone knew or heard of anyone designing their own waterblocks before? I am looking for info on...

now my original work wasnt anything spectacular, i tried to focus on the useful.
Here is waht i have to work with. I am trying to go for the oldschool look, beige, beige, beige. What i want is some...
Athlon 650, obviously one of the first AMD chips actually worth buying. havnt bought intel since. however, depends how k8l rolls out, and when i can afford to upgrade, but core duo might be under my desk next.
my recommendation 100% is an ASUS K7V with the VIA KX133 chipset.
however, good luck finding one.
I have several K7M's with the amd 751 chipset, rock solid, however dont support pc133, but if you dont put in a nic (i suggest a USB nic) you can overclock the fsb up to near 133, i hit about...
Aluminum is generally a soft metal, but sometimes when alloyed and treated for hardness (read scratch resistance :) ) it can become extremely hard to machine. The fact it is so thin doesnt help either. if you can place something very hard underneath it you wont get the deflection in the...
