you'll need to set static ip addresses for the wired nics on both machines start->control pannel-> network connections right click on local area connection -> properties highlight tcp/ip and click properties change it to "use following ip address" i'd just start simple - for one...

I'd agree, going with one of the PCIe 550 based cards would work, unless you've also filled the 1x slots. i just haven't been happy with any of the usb stuff on my laptop, after using 550s in my media pc.

i couldn't find any info on the raid controller, and i'm assuming 2 120mm fans after a quick look at takaman's calc, i'd suggest something like this fortron i only put eps12v stuff in servers, as it's usually rated for longer uptimes and is designed for server useage, and based on worst...

i've got a comperable system running on a 430w TP II it's a good, stable supply for me :) 3200 at 2.4ghz 1.5 gig of ram 3 x 80gb HDD x800xl

well, we have about 1500 students over 5 regular campuses and 2 "alternative" campuses and about 400 faculty/admin folks just over 1000 desktops and 40 servers. including the boss, we have 5 people in the department, supporting all campuses. we are broken out by specialaty (hardware, software...

well, we have some of those kids, too. most of the problems that we've had are the single porn incident every year, and every once in a while a threat. to combat this, we just remove all of their computer access :cool: we keep it in the privledge category, rather than a right. i think that...

if you don't want to go the ghost route, i would: 1. make sure they are all pcs are set to auto install updates 2. setup a WUS server to serve updates to your network, so you just have to bring them into your environment once. 3. use a script like this: i don't remember where i...

yea, we don't actively block those things, since the students are only on computers in the labs, library, or business classes. but we have a fairly robust anti virus, anti spyware, anti spam, and firewall/proxy setup. heck, bandwidth isn't going to be much of a problem . . .we have fibre...

ok, i'm going to over research some other distros, too :p i just had ubuntu downloaded for some reason, and found a guide to setting up hula on it.

yes, we already require parent/guardian approval for all computer access, and that includes useage policy and the standard lawyereese. that's also the reason we are going to lock down communication outside our environment. it is supposed to be a teacher/student and student/student communication...

not sure if this should be here or o/s, but here we go: i work for a k-12 school district as one of the "computer guys" (desktop, server, network, phone, kitchen sink . . .) focused mainly on windows machines. like so many bosses do, mine had an epiphany and told me to basically "make it...

i found it! davidhammock200 had the link to the EOC how to

even a cheapy digital multimeter will be accurate at reading the voltages . . . it just won't update as often or do logging and other nifty things that the $300+ ones will. and everyone needs a DMM, how else would you be able to check to see if your toaster is getting the correct 120v from...

well, i'm the "computer guy" at a school district, and because of the lovely job the janatorial staff does at keeping the school clean, we do scheduled lab cleanings. we go into the 15 labs (25 pcs each) every summer with the compressor and some slave . . err student labor and blow out...

i'd generally say power supply, but you might want to go over the other things that you added, first. a large number of "after upgrade" problems are memory upgrades gone wrong.

well, over at the power supply stickies they are suggesting a $52 Xclio but in your case i'd go with either a $26 TTGI made unit or a $40 FPS unit. they're not high end, or bling bling, but they are proven stable supplys for a low power rig like yours. and just remember, a GOOD 350w unit is...

well, at home, i've lost a 350w powmax, before i knew any better at my previous employer, i only had a few blow, but that was mostly because they were in offices, with good building power regulation and protection circuits on every floor. they also were on a lease program and replaced them...

I would go with something like this 9a 12v psu and distribute the load from it. you can get a 5a for a little less, but who wants less power?

most of the time i run into this, i just have to install the drivers on the server for the printer. for some of the hp multifunctions, or their personal laserjets that use a dot4 printer port (vs regular usb port, look in the printer settings) you have to change the port assignment for the...

it's probabily the magnetic field generated by your pump. i'd move the pump and monitor as far apart as possible, and see if that helps

depends on the load and which 300w fsp it is. on the fsp website they have like 13 300w models listed, meeting different specs and needs. so if you could give the model number, it would be helpful as for the load: do you plan to upgrade w/this supply, or is this a kinda stop-gap until...

i think he's talking about a seperate purchase, like these that you crimp on to the existing cable where you want them. i've not used this brand, but it was a quicky link :)

i haven't done this in a while, but hacking up some molex splitters should work you'll need to run the 12v and one ground to the P4 connector, and the 5v and other ground back to splice into the main 20/24 pin connector. i'd recommend soldering the connections together and taping them up...

i didn't say they were particularly bright engineers . . . edit and to mikeblas, i'm not sure if they were even running standard 220 on the floor, or if may have been an actual defective unit that fused together. i couldn't open up the psu case, or dell wouldn't have taken it back, and my...

i've had problems with a few games, and found that it's the installer that is the problem. some of them identify windows differently and therefore see xp 64 bit as a different os. here is a quote from another forum

I just thought I'd take this chance to tell my tell of death and destruction. Well, while I was doing corporate desktop support, I had some engineers (this is the big red flag) decide that they needed another desktop on the production floor. They hunted and hunted for a 110v outlet, but...

i voted May or may not (depends on what is needed) if it's for a gaming rig, i'll build it but if it's a laptop i tell people get a dell/hp and load up on the warranty same thing with a cheapy internet pc - get a dell/hp and load up on the warranty their good for the low end, because i...

i'm cheap and go for the used dryer sheet method you'd have to use one on each fan, but keeping the rig smelling like a field of daisys keeps the wife happy

well, before the fire i had: my machine: 1x160gb 1x200gb wife's machine: 1x 40gb 1x 60gb big server: 3x 120gb little server 3x 80gb crap laptop: 1x6.4gb good laptop: 1x40gb and then a box of 30 20gb seagates that i bought off the back of a truck for $10 sooo was at...

hrmm, the perfect case. . . 1. WTX form factor (ATX upside down) 2. 2 120s on the back, 1 on the front, and 1 on the side. front and side with removable filters. 3. all 4 fans have "modder's mesh" grills 4. 2 hard drive racks that hold 3 drives apiece. one rack that is tooless and...

it's more the chipset than the processor like my old 440bx or the 810e chipset boards that i used to have would not take pc133, but the i815 would . . . do you have a board, or are you just starting the look?

giddie up! :D

hrm. looks like it would be the Black series 480w? just having one 12v rail is not necessarily a death knell to a power supply, it just ups the ante in expected quality. the split rail design (as i understand it ;) ) was adopted to seperate the loads from the board componets and the drives...

quick question. . . i see the thread about 2X1GB or 4X512MB, but i have a little bit of a different question I currently have two sticks of 256MB XMS and need more RAM i know that i can add two more sticks to total 1GB, but i want a little more would i be able to add 1GB XMS Kit to it...

it all depends ;) it depends on what you are powering with it what the power supply's specs are what it's really capable of what your plans are for it: is it going to hopefully last a few upgrade cycles? or stay in this machine as configured?

well, i'm wanting to upgrade my memory from the 2x256 XMS to more, and was thinking of adding a 2x512 kit of the same kind . . . question is, will this work in dual channel? everything i've read has dealt with single vs dual side memory, and the asus manual states that as long as 1a=1b and...

if i were a betting man, i'd say it was the power supply. generally large OEMs like HP go with the smallest thing that will power the box as it leaves the plant. i'd go to a big box (best buy or something) or a local computer store with a good return policy and get a better (not just more...

if you can't start it by jumpering the pins that the power switch connected to, i'd say bad mobo. i usually just disconnect the switch and touch a screwdriver to the pins to see if it powers up. if it does, it's the switch, if not . . . keep going from what you describe, it seems most...

and it's actually better to be CLOSER rather than higher/lower so 11.98 would be better than 12.2 and use a multimeter, my old abit board used to read 12.3 with software and in the bios (both the same as software reads the sensors that feed the bios) but was 11.95 and to be in spec, it...

hrmmm good ones? bad ones? you're a crackhead for even suggesting those? . . . go away you smell? any responses, suggestions, or better value displays?
