I sort of agree with Firing Squad. While "real world" benchmarking does give that extra bit of info on how hardware will actually effect me, i also want to know which is actually a better/faster/more effecient product. I really think both are required to have a full rhobust review of a...
ive been hearing about the new pci-e for notebooks for a while now, and how you can now upgrade your video cards on them. but i cant for the life of me find anyone who actually sells notebook video cards all by themselves. where do i go to get them?
im probably going to buy a notebook with...
i think im gunna do 2 T connections after the pump. and when i want to redo the water in them i'll put one in an empty bucket and the other into some fresh water to flush the system
I've been thinking of ways to setup my system that will allow it to very easily drain it, and i was wondering how all of you drain your systems. refilling wont be a problem, but im not totally sure how to completely drain the system without taking all my electronics out first.

i was wondering if anyone knew if shuttle used a certain standard for their cpu cooler holes around the socket on the sd11g5 or if its a proprietary layout like the pentim-M board from aopen?
i heard someone say once that shuttle uses a socket 478 hole layout on all their boards, but i just...
i really like that dangerden gpu waterblock, but im not gunna spend over 100 bucks for a single waterblock. the only other waterblock i saw that would fit besides the koolance one was from innovatek, but it used aluminum and copper both together in the same block. and i just dont want to take...
ive been waiting for this product from shuttle for a long time. but i want it to be as quiet as can be. but im a gamer, and i need a fast card in it. im probably going to go with a 7800gt. i looked at some air cooling options, but everything i found was too large to fit between the video...
i posted this in displays. but thinking about it, it sorta makes sense to ask this forum too since its an HTPC display thingy.
i just bought a new widescreen 16:9 HDTV. Samsung TX-P2675WHD
im trying to hook it up to my HTPC, but with limited success.
my tv has a DVI cable input. my...
i went through this site:
http://www.htpcnews.com/main.php?id=hdguide
it wont work if i unplug my monitor and then plug my tv in. my tv will only work if its plugged into the secondary slot while the monitor is plugged into the primary slot and i set them up to work in dual monitor mode...
i just bought a Samsung TX-P2675WHD
i cant for the life of me get the correct settings so the picture is clear from my computer.
it does display the picture. and i can work in it. but fonts are all wacky. pictures like .BMP's are crystal clear, like my desktop pics etc. but everything...
nothings wrong with the mobo. everything works correctly
i just have this stupid icon in my system tray
its just a winxp thing. this gay icon didnt exist in win2kpro
so how do i get rid of these 2 icons in my system tray?
i have this icon in my system tray "safely remove hardware". well when i click on it its talking about my main and only hard drive. partitions C: and E: my hard drive is connected to a SATA port. why is this icon showing up at all? and how do i get it to go away?
also, i have a...
i cant find this powersupply anywhere to purchase. i checked all the regular sites that i was looking at when i purchased the super tornado 400w that i currently have from last year. but none of them had the s12. i checked pricewatch, and pricegrabber, and newegg. nothing yet.
ive seen a...
i just ordered this motherboard. it has everything i want in a MB, but after ordering i just noticed it uses the new 24pin connecter
i still have a atx 1.3 psu. it does have the 4pin square connector. but looking at this motherboard, it seems to have the 24pin and an additional 4pin...
what about somthing to cover up the hole. i dont wanna drill screw holes for a fan grille. but somthing like black mesh so air can freely flow into and out of the hole. but so you cant see down in it, and to filter the air a little bit. and also reduce noise a bit.
first a pic so you know what im talking about, and also a description of what i want to do exactly. then i have a couple questions at the end.

killed it putting on an SI-97 heatsink. just being careless. ive done it 100 times before. i just got lazy and didnt take proper precautions. thats what i get i suppose.
damn umbra. are you a mod? or just stalking me?

you can always PM me also, i check it every day.
IMO the only thing intel has right now going good for it is the desktop pentium-M dothan chips. and they keep ignoring them for those crappy P4 heat monsters. when will they learn?

too many OC'ers on this forum for anyone to say its good.
zalman makes coolers for quiet pc's. so obviously its not gunna be good to oc with. thats not who its marketed to. its marketed to ppl like me who dont want to hear their computers.
its better than the previous vga cooler they...
yeah but the sug. retail for the 6800gt is 399. so see'ing mid 3 hundred dollar cards isnt suprising. but remember, those are the AGP versions. the pci-e versions are almost 500 bucks.
but the sug. retail for the upcomming x800 xl is only 299. which means you'll prolly be able to find...
ive had it for over a year straight, running almost 24/7, never had any leaks in a completely closed loop system (ie: no fill tube or rez). and i used (i think) a 10:1 ratio of water/water wetter, which caused the original tubbing to turn brown over time. the whole system is setup for 1/2" ID...
i chipped and killed my first cpu ever. after over 100 installs of amd procs. i killed mine putting on an si-97 heatsink. :(
so i decided instead of just buying a new socket a proc to upgrade to one of the new 90nm socket 939 athlon 64 chips.
i went with the new MSI RS480M2-IL. got...
no i want to keep the whole system together.
i am selling 2x panaflo 120x38mm fans seperate from the system above. i was going to incorperate them as well, but see'ing as how they dont really go to the actually watercooling setup i decided to sell them seperate. both have tails but are...

or you can just PM me, i do check it almost on a daily basis.

$200 obo. but price is very negotiable. im just putting a price so the rule junkies dont have a cow :P
also i just noticed when i took the waterblock out of my system, its NOT a maze3. its a maze4. so just fyi
holy crap, page 7 in 1 day?
price is nogotiable but i think the whole system cost me brand new around 300 bucks or so. but whatever you think is fair. i just want to get an idea if theirs any interest in this or not

i was researching it a bit more and intel already has plans to release a 915 chipset variant for the P-M. its codenamed "alviso" basically its a mobil version of the 915 for desktop motherboards.
i just hope some motherboard manufacturer out their makes a mATX board with the P-M and...

that is a really nice monitor. alittle more than i wanted to spend though. also i didnt see anything on it about accepting coax or component signals for tv use.
i found some more info on this monitor though. and a good price for it...
do these exist? i was thinkin about it earlier. that i need to drop my monitor and tv and just combine them into one crt. LCD technology still isnt good enough IMO, so id want a CRT. and id prefer it to be wide aspect for watching tv on. i know i could run the video signal through the PC...
