Thanks for all the replies! :) The PSU is a Silver Power 850w unit, s-s850p or something like that. I managed to find an 8-pin EPS to 4-pin EPS + 6-pin PCIE converter from some German dudewith the intention of just taking out the wires and the pins and rearranging them according to the layout...

My 850w PSU has four rails supplying a maximum of 20 amps each in the following config: - Rail 1: 8-pin EPS - Rail 2: 8-pin EPS - Rail 3: 24-pin ATX and molex, sata, floppy - Rail 4: PCI-E Crazy stupid yes but a reality.. I want to convert one EPS rail into dual PCI-E so that my two GPUs...

Come on! This is the time to update from that old 40GB in the kids/wifes PC! I need two or four more of these drives.. ;)

I allready have two of these and am looking for two more. Do you have one or two collecting dust? Send me a PM! :)

Plans on a "different" M-ITX extremebudgetgamer are taking form but I just can't seem to find a tray anywhere. M-ATX and ATX trays are a choice, most likely Lian-Li and then hack it up but I would prefer an allready finished M-ITX one. Anyone know where I can get this? The Lian-Li V351 tray...

I've tried that too, flash is done without any visible errors, I see the "Download firmware complete" in the lower left corner but FW is still shown as 1.11 and not 1.32. The only time I get an error message is when I use method #2 above, fwupd_v113 states that the drive is locked or frozen...

After 12h+ of WTF trying to update the firmware on this Agility 2 40GB drive I can recommend OCZ to anyone who enjoys reading through badly written guides that have not been updated to reflect new versions of the shitbox (read: Toolbox). This is/was my first foray into SSD's, I'm nowhere near...

According to the OCZ guide thats not possible, according to the Toolbox 2.35 changelog it is now possible. I'm not running anything from the SSD; it's completely blank, Win7 is loaded from the Samsung HDD. Toolbox goes through the update procedure without any visible errors but the FW is still...

So I bought a slightly used Agility2 40GB and now I'm trying to flash the firmware from 1.11 to 1.32. 1. I have followed the guide for flashing with Toolbox 2.35 under Win7. Clean install of Win7 x64 home premium to a conventional hdd. Update procedure in Toolbox looks 100% exactly like in...

Three years down the road and this thread still delivers! My hat is off for you, sir! :)

Thanks apcviewer, will look into it and it sounds promising! On a side note; I'm writing a paper covering ethical and epistemological aspects of Information Overload and it's a bliss everytime I ask a question to the [H] to see how quickly one can get over that threshold if you now where to...

After two days of endless misery and driver hell I've decided that I'm never gonna reinstall my parents desktop from scratch again. But, since I know from experience that they are completely unable to maintain their computer I need to clone/backup the drive so that I can restore this fresh...

Google maps mobile is absolutely fantastic in every way except one; I can't predownload the maps of certain regions and therefore it's killing my phonebill... Is there an alternative software that can cache maps on the phone? I use a symbian nokia e61i... Cheers, Mange

Hehe, yeah you're right. Thanks man! :)

Thanks Chris, I knew it was something simple just couldn't remember what. :)

I've removed some stuff from the start menu and now the bar with "windows xp home edition" is strange. Can I remove that black bar somehow? See the picture for example. Regards

Rage, as always it's a pleasure seeing your mods. Great work!

I bought an 5000+, 2600mhz, 65nm, 65w, 2x512kb L2 and two sticks of 1gb ddr2-667. It playes all 720p x264 clips I have. I havent tried 1080p yet though. Thanks for the input guys! :)

I have an Asus barebone (V3-M2V890) and 2gb of ddr2-667 and I need to choose a cpu now. The mainboard accepts X2's up to 5200+ but I really dont want to wait until the 5200+ is in stock here in Sweden. So.. What cpu do I need to be guaranteed to be able to decode x264 720p video with a...

Yeah I know alot of stuff support that res, but I'm dead curious of why the industry went for that res.. And no one can give me an answer.. :( Logically it must be something with the manufacturing process, like that it's easier to produce 1366x768 panels instead of 1280x720, but why? :)

If anyone has my pics from this build please post them here, I lost them years ago in a hdd crasch and I wanted to check them out again. :)

I'm having a hard time finding some logic in why lcd tv panels nowadays are of 1366x768 native resolution. If I remember correctly the first lcd tvs where 1280x720 native, which makes a lot of sense seeing that 720p is 1280x720, no need for upscaling there. But then all manufacturers switched to...

It ended with a refurbished Abit mobo and a x1900gt card, didn't uppgrade the cpu or ram or anything and still Fear runs very, very nice at 1024x768 with everything except soft shadows on max. I'm very happy :)

Yes we have but even with academic prices the latest macromedia and adobe software is to steep for us. The budget is really slim! :( Thanks for the tip though! :)

My studentassociation needs Macromeda Dreamweaver, Adobe Photoshop and InDesign for schoolpaper, webwork and that sort of stuff. We can't afford new versions so we are looking for perhaps a couple of year old software that are outphased for newer versions at bussinesses and such. If you know...

Thanks for the input guys! I'm gonna go with a s754 pcie mobo, preferably with 4 ddr slots to be cheaply upgradable. Now if just the tax return could arrive! ;)

I'm thinking of getting a 7900GT soon which means I'm gonna have to get a pcie mobo, if I stay with my current s754 cpu I'm saving some money, but will it bottleneck the gfx too much? If I went with s939 I couldn't afford a megahypercpu so it might not be that big of a upgrade.. Advice anyone...

Yeah, looks great! Now get some stuff for the gfx, northbridge and the hdds and you're set! :)

So what do I do now.. the pc works like a charm and when measured with a mm I see really good +12v values. Should I just ignore the strange readings and game on or is it important that I find the problem and start rma'in stuff?

The fan connectors on the mb all shows 12v, as does the molex. It is a dual rail psu, hiper type-arrrr 480w. The weird thing is that mbm, speedfan and epox own usdm all report 5,72v on the 12v rail.. Could this be because of the dual rail some how?

I'm trying to measure what 12v value I have on the motherboard when the computer is on but I don't know on what spots to measure to get a reading on the 12v. I can't get mm to the pins on the atx-connector so it has to be another spot to measure on.. Help greatly apreciated, Mange

It is to be used as my regular system and not a htpc. I want to put a sata drive, a64 2800+, 6800le, a dvdrw and a floppy drive in it. Nothing will be overclocked and I want it very quiet.. the question is can it be done? I'm thinking that a AC NV5 cooler on the gfx should do the trick but...

Anyone here using one? I always wanted the old Overture and now that the new version is out with a 450w psu I'm so tempted to change from the AC Silentium T1 I'm using now.. What's the build quality, noise level, any problems getting the hardware in the case etc? Enlighten me please! :)...

I own a 9600Pro from Club3D and I'm very satisfied with it. Cheap, stabile and whenever I had a problem their support technician(s) replied within a day.

I sent them a mail about a different issue at the same time I posted my last reply, no response as of yet here either.. :(

Current ram is a 512Mb stick of Kingmax pc3200 2,5cl ram (I'm gonna buy another one if I decide to go that route) and the hdd is a Maxtor Diamondmax Plus9 80Gb (I think.. :). Are there any good articles/reviews of the 6800le,6600,x800? I get finding shitty ones! :( Thanks, Mange

It's time to replace the old 9600Pro 128Mb card for something better, I have about $350 coming in from a tax return so I could afford the X800XL, but on the other hand I would like a new hdd and another 512Mb stick of ram. If I go with the 5900xt 256Mb card, the hdd and the ram I will spend...

Send a mail to the guys at www.arctic-cooling.com and ask them! :)

Left the pc for a couple of hours yesterday and when I returned the lan adapter couldn't get any connection with the switch. I get the "no cable connected" message in windows and on the ethernet connector on the back there's a flashing orange light. I can't find any info about the flashing...

None, I cracked my tbird core, got tired and sold the shuttle. It looked like it would perform pretty nice, even though I had to use a couple of 90 degree bends the flow was ok.
