    [YourNewCase] SUGO ... 5! GO!

    Does anyone know if the SG05 will take in the following card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131346 I currently have the GTS 250 but it makes too much noise. I need one with a passive cooler. Thanks

    Suggestions on mini-ITX case

    The SG05 is too big for an atom. Dont use it unless you plan on using a mainstream CPU and a dedicated NV/ATI GPU.

    tdp performance cost ratio: which processor?

    Core i5-750 specially when bought for $150 at MC. If 95W is too much for you then get the Phenom II X4 905e

    New DFI Mini-ITX MI P55-T36

    Then its not the Atom and something else is wrong with your setup. For example when I installed Debian (stable running 2.6.26) on my DFI P55-T36 the SATA controller wasnt recognized and the HDD was being used in IDE mode and was slow as hell (read speeds of ~2Mb/sec). When I used 2.6.32 kernel...

    New DFI Mini-ITX MI P55-T36

    Compiling a newer kernel wont get you anywhere because the default kernels shipped are fairly modular and will only load the needed modules. What hogs your system are bloated desktop environments like Gnome/KDE etc. and useless stuff like compiz. If you really want a lean/mean no nonsense setup...

    Need help building sff linux web server

    Errrr ..... NVIDIA has been providing official Linux drivers for almost a decade now (though for obvious reasons its closed source) unlike ATI which only started supporting linux a few years back. Its precisely the reason I have hated ATI and have never bought their products. NVIDIA rocks as...

    Post your workstation 2010!

    The SG05 is a little larger than I anticipated. Besides it has vents all over it so I dont think keeping it on the floor is a good idea. Unlike my old mid tower I dont even keep it running 24x7 but have WoL enabled.

    Post your workstation 2010!

    Mine is very simple Core i5, GTS 250 inside the SG05 and a Thinkpad X61 (Core Duo T8100), both running Debian Lenny.

    Upgrade E6750 to Q9550 or save for i5/i7?

    Get the Q9550 unless you can sell what you have for a good price. Btw there dozens of benchmarks that compare the 9550 with i7 for all kinds of apps.

    Turbo Boost

    To be fair even OC is overrated because more often L1/L2 cache is a limiting factor (though you cant do anything about it). Most programs and applications only achieve a fraction of theoretical peak performance because of this reason. Smaller cache was also the main reason for lower...

    No AM3 785G mini ITX boards?

    Lack of a good board is precisely why I went with an Intel setup (Core i5/DFI P55-T36).
