    Things Agiea needs to do.

    Personally, the PhysX (assuming it doesn't die) will last longer than a video card. 300 is still way too much, I'd pay the "admission fee" of 200-250 because Ageia's chips aren't being upgraded every three weeks or so.

    holy god the mother of all monster cases has arrived

    A-farking greed....premodded windows suck....because it's just corporate capitalization on people wanting to trick out their rigs....The square or rounded rectangle window is better than those damn swirly-shaped pieces of junk.

    holy god the mother of all monster cases has arrived

    Oh, By the way.......if you think people are going to be content putting mini-itxes in there.....you are sadly mistaken.......People are going to be putting 3 micro atxs for serving, a mini-ITX just for chatting and a main rig for fragging. And judging by the looks,some of those harddrive cages...

    I want that case........I could probably (getting creative) house....not two....but THREE computers in there (one main and two mini-ITX/mATX servers/media centers) all hooked up to a couple 300 gig harddrives. Or, I could.......have a low cost thermally efficient apartment for 300 dollars. I...

    Why the Graphics Physics Name Should Die

    A New Project: Home Away From Home

    Why the mockery? If you camp a lot, RVs are pretty nice to have, just don't park it in the driveway. I think since it's gonna be a semi-media center PC you should upgrade the audio a little bit to at least Audigy Two standards.

    Multicore vs SLI

    Having two vid card cores would not take a monstrous feat of engineering. The difficult and the impossible are two very different things. Putting them on the same die would actually reduce latency rather than increase, you'd have just about zero space between the two cores.

    Thinking getting Thermaltake Big water SE as my first WC kit

    BigWater is a good kit with one exception: The coolant. If it's your absolute first WC setup, do yourself a favor and use something non-conductive before you kill the computer. Unless of course, you have a test-mobo.

    Best/coolest case?

    Anything Lian-Li or the 3d Aurora. I actually think the aurora is somewhere between Lian-Li and xoxide.com in terms of "THE LIGHT, THE LIGHT, THE HORRIBLE LIIIIIGHT" factor. Gigabyte does have lights, but most of it is ambient. Lian-Li is minimalist, no lights, no windows unless you install 'em...

    is thermaltake big water sufficient?

    Having one loop cool a CPU and SLI setup is rediculous. get another pump, reservoir, and 120mm rad for it, but otherwise it's fine.

    Stacker 830 begs for water cooling!

    Help with choosing case w/ modular cables

    No. You'll have to buy the case and modular powersupply seperately. Buy a Gigabyte 3d aurora (nice case) or the Tt Armor (a little large, but I love it.)

    WC Fluids

    I use PC ICE simply because I'm cautious. I will NEVER run anything conductive. I have made sure of that. I have a habit of making computers go boom in interesting ways. I wasted my first watercooled build (I used 90/10 distilled and antifreeze) by leaving the hole in my bayres open cause I had...

    Mods, what's hot, what's not

    Elegance is my word. This case has wires all over the place (that's the LAST time I'b buying OEM) I don't like it. My Lian-Li is all hidden, with "Fear The Pope" (my SN in most games) etched into it. Some UV lighting and wires, you're done. Window, lighting, cool paint if you want it. Hidden...

    Cases to use for computer sales!

    Agreed. I am rather annoyed at my most recent OEM Chenming case. The door is really annoying, it's got three HD fans. The thing also breathes dust (which is annoying but it keeps my components clean)

    Cases to use for computer sales!

    For the top-end cases, Lian-Li is always a safe bet. For lower/medium range cases, the brands that come to mind are Coolermaster, Thermaltake, and Antec.

    Is $400 Tai-chi case worth it?

    For watercooling, the roomiest case is the 3d aurora. Then again, if you want in-case watercooling. Go with koolance. Koolance's cases are very elegant. They're modded Lian-Li's with a very elegant blue display. Don't waste 400 dollars on thermaltake watercooling. (in my experience, Tt does okay...

    Watercooling Idea

    True. I would not use a "closed system" so much as an airlockable system. Also, I think that the expense has been noted already. The minifridge would be a substitute peltier. I think that fans would move water. Moving them well/without strain is another question. Right. I could so *so much...

    Watercooling Idea

    Ah cool. I thought I could use something as viscous as water and use (multiple, to reduce strain) fans. Would I need the peltier cooling coldplates or could I run it "ghetto style" with just the liquid and pumps? (Peltier cooling is....no in my budget to say the least.) Maybe I could use...

    Watercooling Idea

    Well. I could use normal...distilled water, which is non-conductive with no impuritied. The problem would be keeping it pure.

    Watercooling Idea

    I come from ghetto-land. Where building this stuff is cheaper than buying it. Now, I think the idea itself is scientifically sound as long as I have something around to dissipate the heat from the water. But this would remove the necessity for waterblocks and all the un-cool tubing associated...

    Watercooling Idea

    What do you think of using a non conductive coolant (such as PC ICE). And just building a water-filled case, no waterblocks, no pumps, just a radiator? Would it be as effective, less effective, or more effective than regular air cooling? I could probably also add a sort of copper heatsink to...

    Why I think that Physx card will be succesful.

    ...X-Fis are a waste of money. I pay a hundred and twenty-one dollars for what? True immsersive sound? That's bullshit, running "True immsersive sound" requires more than the 5 (or is it 8) channels it gives you. If I would use 8 channels of sound, I would buy an X-Fi. Since I don't, I don't...

    Why not have a USB/FW PPU?

    Negative zomg. All the PPU needs to do is run results out and calculations in. The results wouldn't be thousands of seperate streams, I think it would (should) be about 10 streams for seperate kinds of physics calculation. One for motion, trajectory, force, and momentum.

    Why I think that Physx card will be succesful.

    Herm.....my onboard sound maxes fear and source at 1600x1200. But I think onboard sound would chomp NB cycles. CPUs are usually fast enough the couple cycles lost to audio doesn't make a difference on the CPU end. Where I see it chomping cycles is that instead of using a bus pipeline, it just is...

    So...what does this mean?

    are those your CPU temps or your case temps? If its a CPU temp that is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE. I think it might be the accelerator plate. then again, some WC setups perform worse than good air cooling. Wait a second, what WB are you using?

    Thermaltake CL-W0005-01 Big Water SE 12cm Liquid Cooling System

    Don't do anything of the sort using a premade. I would personally rather fit together parts from different companies. As thermaltake may have kick-ass waterblocks, but their pumps may suck. This is just an example as I haven't used Thermaltake anything (I'm all swiftech right now) but fitting...
