    Cops: U.S. Law Should Require Text Message Logs

    Comments like this make my blood boil. It's that kind of apathy which put us in the situation we are in now. Day by day our constitutional rights are being stripped from us. It's almost like we living in a George Orwell novel now, I wonder what it's going to be like for my children?

    PCI Express x16 Flex riser for GPU

    I kept the video card like that and it was fine, for a while. And then the audio started cutting in and out and also got the error message "display driver has stopped responding". I tried moving the cable and card around some but that made things worse. It could be that it's not making good...

    PCI Express x16 Flex riser for GPU

    I got the right one in the mail and got it hooked up temporarily. Here's the rundown: I hooked up my GTS 450 to it and booted up. I got into windows fine, but as soon as I fired up Furmark the fan spun up and I got a black screen. Did a hard reset and it would post the BIOS screen, but would...

    PCI Express x16 Flex riser for GPU

    Interference I could probably deal with one way or another. What worries me the most is how much current a video card draws from the PCI bus (it doesn't get all of its power from the 6 pin connectors) and how much current can be carried over a thin ribbon cable. I believe that video cards can...

    Oops! Oh well. What the hell is the 32X represent? No one would ever need that sort of bandwidth for PCI.

    PCI Express x16 Flex riser for GPU

    Interesting stuff, but I don't really see any of it being practical or taking off. As others have mentioned in that thread; everything PC is getting faster, smaller, using less power (less heat) so I really don't seeing it going anywhere. I'm even going to venture and say that we wont even be...

    PCI Express x16 Flex riser for GPU

    I understand, I'm the king of procrastination myself! Anyway, it looks like I'll beat you to it. I just ordered this off of Amazon. I think that it was something like $12.10 shipped and I'll have it in a week. Much better than going through eBay with the uncertainty of when you'll actually...

    PCI Express x16 Flex riser for GPU

    I found this thread searching the web for relevant info on this subject and decided to join. I know this thread is a little old, but did you buy a riser cable ribbon and if so, what were the results? I'm looking to install a full sized card (maybe a HD 6870 or something) into a a slim HTPC...
