Only 6 years for me, but same sentiments. Cool to see a familiar name on the front page!

It's common practice where I am to install a layer of 3/4 plywood under sheetrock walls in areas where you need break/penetration resistance. No fire code violation since the combustibles are encapsulated, and a whole hell of a lot cheaper than using metal sheeting. (be sure to check local...

Try a pair of these and cut a sheet of plywood/aluminum/steel or whatever you prefer to sit in the middle. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&orig_s=gen&sku=a0379302&s=bsd You can find them much cheaper used, A lot of places using rack-mount ups systems in...

I have approximately 25 of these deployed in a school environment, in a year and a half the kids have not managed to break one yet. I am planning on replacing the last 5 inkjets in the building with these at the end of the month as they have been so good to me. If you look around you can find...

What are they looking for as far as "service ID?" Can I just throw on an EMS shirt from work or do they want some kind of ID badge (the one I lost almost a month ago at that)

Ive ordered with both several times and it's gone both ways. One big thing to concider is if they were backordered on a single part and had to wait for a shippment. I had to wait for parts to come into stock on the last 2 systems i ordered, which delayed each about a week.

You can get systems that meet or exeed those specs from dell in the form of 1U boxes in your price range. I think the poweredge sc1425 is going for like 950 at the moment with a 2.8ghz xeon, 80gb drive and a gig of ram. The Poweredge 850 will get you a 2.8ghz celron with 512mb ram and an 80gb...

black/red/blue are hot and white is ground in AC power systems in the US. red is hot and black is ground when dealing with DC power systems.

And the plot gets thicker I was looking at the order page, and realized that the Bluetooth is now packaged with the Intel wireless card, meaning the exact computer I ordered 2 days ago was now 49$ cheaper. Just canceled the order and re-order to the exact same specs except I dropped from...

I literally ordered a 1505 2 days ago.. I may have to call them now and change it..

As to the power side of things, it will be impossible to run a 25 duron cluster on one circuit. Last time I looked a high end duron processor used about 60W. Add in power usage requirements for motherboard, ram, cooling fans, network interfaces etc, and that number will climb fast. Even using a...

Whatever you decide to do you should figure it out quickly. As I recall, you can only RMA items to newgg for 30 days for refund, or 7 days for CPU's. The RMA for replacemnt is much longer. All that is stated at the terms of service page when you place your order. If you ordered your parts "about...

If the BIOS battery was that bad you'd have a message saying that all your settings were reset to defaults. How does the system look? No pop'd caps on the mainbord etc? Have you tried re-seating components inside the case etc?

Deffinately check out the requirements for the actuall programs you will be running. Some of the CAD/other high end programs i've had to use had very strict requirments to what they would and would not work with.

I remeber a few articles similar to that. I belive what it came down to is that you will see virtually no decrease in service life turning on/off once a day over the usefull span of the system. Where it did come into play was in situations where people were turnign on and off the computer many...

I did not close the window in my dorm room a single day i lived there last year (in MA).. I had my dual operon running, a 1200mhz duron, a dual pIII 733, and a 4ch amp in my 19" rack, as well as a 17" trinitoron (that gets really hot) and a 19" viewsonic, all on 2 smart ups 1000's.

You dont need any programs. Go in to recording settings, un mute the mic and bring the gain up. Should come right out the speekers.

Well, usb was released, followed by firewire which was faster.. followed by usb2 which was beaten out by the latest round of firewire. I think the big factor there is cost, and the fact that there is no need for a 800mbps link for your mouse

A lot of the people who buy the high end 64 bit systems don't use windows.

Abit components are rock solid, you should not have any issues.

lense cleaning.. blowing large amounts of air thru the cd drive case will just move dust around and make the lense dirty again.

try cleaning them?

Check the classifieds where you live, you can often find racks from companies that have gone under for dirt cheap.

If you had read the entire therad a little more carefully you would had seen mikeblas point out that there are 2 diffrent errors going on. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=0x0000004E+windows+xp&btnG=Google+Search And no, the 0x0000004E is NOT just a 2k problem

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official_s&q=0x0000000A+windows+xp&spell=1

I'd go on and try out mikeblas's suggestion at this point.

You should let it run 2 full passes or so. There should be an indicator of how many full passes have been made somewhere on screen.

I though you didnt have a floppy? Anyhow, yes the UBCD does have memtest on it, and many other things which you may find usefull later in your computer travles.

Where do you get 0x0000000A? the OP stated it was a PFN error and 0x0000004E matches that.

You can put it on a cd as well. In fact, if you are goign to be burning a diagnostic cd you may as well go out and burn a copy of the "Ultimate Boot CD" just google for UBCD and you will find it.

^^^ that poster just beat me. That error points to a page file/memory error. I'd recomend you download and install memtest86 on to a floppy, boot it and see how your ram checks out.

You could even find an older box that is cabable of just that. Untill 84 days ago I was running a single pentium pro freebsd system with an 80gb drive for general storeage around the house, routeing and it was serveing a half dozen basic web pages for a while too. If all you want to do is basic...

Weird, cpu temp is almost allways abouve case (mobo) temp. there should be 2 threasholds for each setting, one upper and one lower. They are bascially upper and lower acceptable limits.

How do your temps look under load?

Only if microsoft were smart. The only way to load drivers needed for your windows install is with a floppy unless you slipstream the drivers into your install cd. Altough, I beleive I may have used an external USB floppy once or twice.

Probibly one.. or two matched LCD's, it would allow me to free up a lot of desk space in the dorm room.

You said it happens when you render and other tasks. Are these other tasks cpu intensive? Could there be a connection between CPU load and the re-setting?

In the case of those, many businesses still use them in multi-processor systems, and when one goes bad its cheaper to buy a used processor than scrap a whole system and spend time configureing a new one.

check where your cpu fan is plugged in.. Many motherbords will turn off if they do not see a RPM signal over the cpu fan plug as a safety measure.
