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. pics to...

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...

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 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...

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...

was looking around europe and japanees sights for a socket 462 7700-cu when i came across this. it looks black anodized to me. just think, if they can anodize it black, they could make them all the colors of the spectrum. EDIT: try this one...

i was wondering if anyone out their has put this heatsink on the x800pro. i found a power consumption article, and the x800pro seems to be similar in power consumption to the radeon 9800pro, which is the graphics card i have now. and im using the old zm80A-HP on it. completely passive, and...

i was wondering if anyone knew how much heat the 6800gt and the x800pro produced. price is similar, performance is similar. im trying to find somthing that one has that might tip the balance. and for me noise is a big issue. and the less heat somthing produces, the less noise it will...

its basicaly a radiator with a 120mm fan on it, with heatpipes that pump water to and from it and the CPU. i bet somthing like this could finally catch up to the performance of a true watercooling setup. for your CPU at least. anyone know where i could get custom built heatpipes? i...

can it be done? has anyone tried? id hate to upgrade a mobo just so i can use a HSF, but i think i might just to have all 120's in my system. 1 on the intake, 1 in the PSU for exhaust, and 1 on the CPU. all papst low volume fans running at 7volts. :D plus with that 120 on the cpu my...

do you need 4in1 drivers for VIA mobo's with xp or win2k?

i usually prefer to use eheim pumps. but i needed somthing smaller for this specific project. my systems basically dead silent right now. but if i turn off everything that makes noise in the room i can still hear the pump making a little noise. the 3, 120mm fans in the case are inaudible...
