The 7770 might fit, but it's hard to tell. That GTX 650 definitely won't fit. It looks like the GTX 650 Ti reference design might have, but nobody seems to make that. Here's the clearance on the card/CPU heatsink:

I thought no one had replied, but it turned out the emails were just going to some random account. So, the AMD HD 7750 will be able to putter along through video games at an okay resolution? I'm okay with an HDMI/DVI adapter to get 2x DVI. (I loaded something up yesterday, and the 3450 seemed...

I need a graphics card that will fit into a relatively tight space. It can be full height, but the length is pretty short. It also can't take two slots, and I need it to run two DVI ports. The power supply doesn't have a graphics card power adapter, but I think I can get a sata power to PCIe...

Well, he's using WD 2TB Green drives. If he were using a system that supported staggered spinup, then you will have a maximum draw of ~7.2W per drive during heavy usage. For 70 drives that's, only 504W. Add in another 200W for CPU, motherboard, etc, and a reasonable 80% efficient power...

Really? A brightly painted cardboard box immediately makes you think someone is trying to blow you up? Maybe you need to relax a little.

First of all, you are wrong. Sovereign immunity applies to federal and state organizations, not to local governments. So suing the state highway patrol is a completely different matter from suing your local police department (which is what the article is about). Second, Blown 89 posted a...

I'd be a lot more worried about the toxic fumes produced by burning lithium, as well as the fire in the cabin. And if someone were dumb enough to throw water on it, the exploding lithium shrapnel.

No. UnrealIRCD runs on many OS's, including Windows. I've run an Unreal IRC server on my Windows system.

Well, the original Z-drive was $1000 in its lowest 256GB configuration. That doesn't bode well for a consumer version. What I'd really like to see is an affordable 64GB version with better transfer rates and upgradeability than a SATA SSD. For low density MLC chips, it seems like you'd be...

Microwaves picked up by small metal wires can create quite a bit of electrical voltage which would fry the electronics. (Yeah, I know you're kidding, but it's worth mentioning.)

I'll be sticking with Firefox for the foreseeable future due to all of the extensions I use. But if I didn't use so many extensions, I'd quickly switch to Chrome. The thing that annoys me most about Firefox is having the whole browser freeze while it loads a tab in the background. Once...

Arrington said they were going to demo Windows 7 on it, so I can't imagine it'd be that hard.

The older Atom doesn't "contribute to the shitty battery life", it's the chipset it was originally paired with that consumed 15W all by itself. The original Atom on a newer chipset is just fine. The reason to go with the Atom was options. Arrington said they were going to demo full...

Ditto. Google's servers are heavily distributed, so it may take a while for the changes to propagate. Or they may just be testing the new page with some people.

The link doesn't appear to be working anymore, but I can't seem repairing most electronics. If the warranty will cover it, then great. But usually it seems like repair costs on small electronics (cameras, cell phones, etc) cost only a little less than getting a whole new device.

Am I missing something? I don't see anything about future items.

It is showing up fine for me, so either it has been put back or the changes haven't propagated to me yet.

I worked with a guy about a decade ago that had done some work on Michael Dell's house. From what he described Michael had an excellent relationship with his kids. Of course, he (and most of the other people on that list) is pretty cut throat, so things may have changed.

I smell a potential lawsuit of the email account holder against the bank. A bank shutting down someone's primary mode of communication because the bank made a mistake is bound to make someone very angry.

No, the price of the stocks is solely dependent on how much someone will pay for the stock. An investor may think a company will tank, but if they think they can buy the stock and sell it at a higher price before it does tank, they will make the purchase. And when they make the purchase, it...

I've been wondering for years why companies don't do this. Being able to dynamically shut down part of the power supply for low loads would dramatically increase efficiency.

Eh? For years, people have been grabbing the certs from the BIOS and using a driver to redirect the BIOS requests to the downloaded certs. This is essentially the same hack used for Vista. I'd honestly be surprised if they hadn't figured it out quickly. I don't see why you would think it's...

I wouldn't be at all surprised. First, the statistic was quoted specifically for aggravated sexual assault. Second, assault can have a really high reoffend rate. Sexual assault goes far enough that there is literally likely to be something wrong with the person psychologically, which makes a...

How is that confusing? The "2" lets us know it's the second release under the "Core" brand name, and the "Duo/Quad" lets us know how many cores. Why not just have a Core 3 Quad? How on earth is i3 or i5 more informative?

Blu-ray had most of the features in the specification, but no authoring implementation to take advantage of those features. Where Blu-ray always shone compared to HDDVD was capacity. Blu-ray has 25GB (50GB for dual layer) compared to HDDVD's 15GB (30GB for dual layer).

We had serious issues when testing Vista, even after SP1 came out. These are issues that occurred across various hardware platforms and network setups. We were originally planning on migrating all of the workstations over to it, but we couldn't accept the issues. Currently we're hoping on...

My CPU supports it, but it didn't work after enabling it in the BIOS. The XP virtual machine kept telling me I didn't have support or needed to enable it. It ended up working though after I completely disconnected the power from my PC and then booted. Weird.

To be fair, war was never declared by the US in Vietnam, and it is to this day considered a "police action". But yeah, everyone knows it was a pretty big failure. The Korean War was also a "police action", but can be considered "won" in that North Korea invaded South Korea, and the US (and...

As this is supposedly designed to be a quiet cooler, I'm very curious how it will perform. You guys are too quick to discount applied fluid dynamics for cooling. You'd be surprised at the efficiency of some unintuitive designs that were produced using mathematical models. (I'll admit that...

A number of municipalities are already building out the fiber to the home where local telcos drag their feet. The fiber is owned by the government, and citizens pick an ISP to provide internet, TV, phone, etc over it. The strange thing is that these are typically far more efficient than large...

The office is funny because we've all worked in offices with people like the people in the show. Seriously, if the most screwed up people I've worked with were all in an office together it would be easy to be as retarded as the show.

I would have used Velveeta instead. It's much closer to the consistency of thermal paste designed for higher temperatures.

Indeed, it sounded to me like another way to manage keys. What exactly is KMIP for?

A head shot, sure. But hitting them in most of the body will leave someone on an adrenaline rush at least several seconds to keep coming at you. People don't instantly drop when shot in the chest like in the movies. And you can cross 8 feet in half of a second. Shooting someone in the chest...

Thanks, I forgot to mention that. A shotgun with bird shot is usually the safest gun to shoot in a dwelling. At close range it'll take off a face, and it's really hard to be attacked by someone without a face. A little further back and the shot probably won't even make it through a single...

Here are the three most important parts of this story, as relates to what I said. First, when there was distance between the intruder and the ones being protected, he yelled out to scare away the intruder. This scared off the intruder and prevented the potentially very dangerous fight...

First, I didn't say brick. Most houses have cheap wood (or stucco/aluminum siding) exterior, which do far less for slowing a bullet down. Apartments have two panels of sheetrock. And high powered rifles have far less penetrating power because the bullets will fragment well and the fragments...

It's a risk, but so is shooting your gun. Most thieves will take off if they discover someone is awake and/or has a gun. Shooting a gun in a house puts anyone in the house at risk, and neighboring houses at risk too. Bullets can travel through several walls before stopping. Firing a gun in...

Best. Plan. Ever. I think it is a matter of the danger myself or other innocent people are in. If someone was running away with one of my monitors, then I can't see shooting them, but I can see trying to track them down to send them to jail (though I doubt jail would help in the long run)...

Sounds like my iPhone 3G. I have Exchange push enabled for email and a Gmail account pulling every 15 minutes, and I'm lucky if I get two days out of it. The most annoying thing is hitting some things, like SMS, will cause it to pause on a blank screen for five or so seconds. The internet...
