    What case for a GTX 260?

    I need a case, without power supply, that'll let me fit a GTX 260 in there, plus a regular-sized ATX motherboard. That's about it, I guess, the cheaper the better. Keep in mind the GTX 260 is 267 mm long. :)

    8-10C difference between cores okay for a Q9450?

    So I put together a new system with a P5Q-E, Q9450, and a Scythe Ninja copper. Running the board outside the case with the 800RPM Scythe fan attached to the heatsink, I get load temperatures (Windows calculator) ranging from 41C on the coolest core to 49C on the warmest, to something like 29C to...

    Which PSU for single GTX 260?

    The GTX will be used for CUDA only, and not for gaming (yes, really). The target system is: E2140 overclocked to roughly 2.7 Gigabyte 965P-DS3 rev 3.3 1GB DDR2 36GB WD Raptor Preferably I can get the PSU for $100 or less, and not have it blow up in a couple of months.

    Problems mounting bracket onto Scythe Ninja Copper.

    I'm having problems mounting the bracket onto the HS: http://mercury.made2own.com/~eiiisol/hsf1.jpg The upper right side of the bracket is either too big, or slighly bent out of shape, and won't fit all the way down. The other bracket for Socket A or something will just barely fit after a bit...

    Silent 7x00 or 8x00 series card?

    As the title says, I'm looking for a silent (no fan, large heatsink) video card, PCIe x16, from either the 7x00 or 8x00 nVidia series. Or maybe even the 9x00 series if it works with Win2K: I know the 7300GT, 7600GS, and 8600GT cards I tried worked fine with Win2K. In terms of the heatsink...

    Adjusting fan speed of a 7300GT with RivaTuner.

    I've followed the RivaTuner tutorials that deal with adjusting fan speed, but when I get to the correct window, I find the "Fan" tab is missing: I'm using driver version 169.21. The card's an eVGA 7300GT, 256MB: http://www.evga.com/products/moreinfo.asp?pn=256-P2-N445-LX&family=22 Is...

    WTB: DDR1 SDRAM (PC 2700 or 3200, Canada only)

    I want to buy small sticks of DDR1, either PC2700 or PC3200, for a couple of older systems. Currently I have 1 stick to share between the two machines, which really isn't productive. One has 2 slots, the other has 4. I would be looking for something like the following: 2x256 1x256 + 1x128...

    WTB: Socket 478 motherboard

    Just as the title says. It needs to have onboard video, or be capable of accepting a 1.5V 4X AGP card. SDRAM or DDR2 preferred, only because I don't have any spare DDR1 modules lying around. The plastic mounting mechanism for the CPU HSF has to be not-broken, as that's why I need a new...

    WTT: Pentium D 805 CPU for Pentium 4 Socket 478 400 MHz FSB CPU

    I will give you a Pentium D 805 775-pin CPU in exchange for a Pentium 4 Socket 478 400 MHz FSB CPU. The board this CPU is going in is an Asus P4B, which doesn't seem to like FSB speeds greater than 4x107. I would like the CPU to be 2.40 GHz or higher. Because it runs hot, the 805 has been...

    Overclocking Classics - post your old overclocked hardware here!

    Today we have an Abit BF6 440BX motherboard, together with a PIII EB 667, socket 370 to slot 1 adapter, 256, 128, and 128MB sticks of PC133, an Adaptec 29160 SCSI card, and an IDE DVD-ROM drive. Just how far can I push the FSB on this board? :) I started off underclocking the CPU to...

    WTB/WTTF: 8500GT video card

    I'm looking for a PCIe video card with the nVidia 8500GT chipset. I'm not really going to be playing games on it, I just want to try nVidia's CUDA. The 8500's the cheapest card to have this ability. I can pay via paypal, cash (Canadian money only), or money order, and would need it shipped to...

    FS: 10K RPM 18GB SCSI hard drives (80 pin).

    I have 18 of these available for sale. These are 80 pin drives, and if you want to use them with a regular desktop SCSI card, you'll need a 80 to 68 pin adapter. The model number is Seagate ST318404LC, firmware 0006. Each drive has been powered on, formatted from started to finish with...

    WTB: Motherboard with PCI-X slot.

    I have some SCSI cards that are PCI-X compatible, although they will work with standard PCI slots. I just want a board with one or more PCI-X slots to play around with. Unless the board comes with it, I don't want one that will only take ECC/registered memory, or memory that's otherwise hard...

    WTB: 15K SCSI HDD

    As the title says, I'm looking for a 15,000 RPM SCSI hard drive. What I'm looking for are: 68 or 80 pin 18 - 36GB Quietness: The drive should have an FDB motor, making it not much louder than ordinary 7200 RPM drives when fully spun up. I know, I have a few of these already. Comes from a...

    WTB: PCI IDE Controller, and (special?) PC screws.

    I am looking for a PCI IDE controller. I don't have to be able to boot from it, but it should be able to see drives larger than 137GB. If it only has one connector (room for two drives) that's fine too. I am also looking for screws for a SCSI drive enclosure that I have. Hard drives get a...

    6 years too late for this one: Promise Ultra 66 -> FastTrak 66 mod.

    After buying a box of 10 hard drives (and other goodies, such as Token Ring cards) for $20 I decided to have some fun RAIDing them together in odd combinations. I find I still have my Promise Ultra 66 card, which can be modded to the RAID-capable FastTrak 66 card. Yes, I have a 100 ohm resistor...

    Using Perl to send data to a web browser?

    Yes, this is an assignment. :( Here's the deal: We need to write a proxy server in Perl - right now I am stuck on sending data back to the browser. I am able to read the request sent by the browser and print it to STDOUT in Perl: #!/bin/perl use Socket; $port = <STDIN>; chomp($port)...

    Don't they make 5400 RPM hard drives anymore?

    I was looking around to see if I can buy a large, slow, inexpensive hard drive to store online large files that don't need to be accessed very quickly and I found that I can't really find new 5400 RPM hard drives anymore - most are 7200 RPM with the exception of those 10k WD Raptors or...

    Running not-so-similar DIMMs on an i865PE board in dual channel mode?

    I'm considering getting an i865PE-based board (AI7 in particular) and I was planning to get two sticks of 256MB PC3200 initially, and leave two slots open for upgrading to 1GB later when I need it. However, the sticks I buy later on will probably not be the same as the ones bought initially. The...
