I've been playing around with a pair of 40ah AGM batteries to extend ups runtime. I've played with a BR1000G but cannot get it to calibrate the higher runtime. It'll run my test load for around 3 hours with the runtime remaining showing 1 minute. Which is fine, but keeps me from...

Looking for something to replace my Gigabyte GA-MA-770-DS3 that just died.. Something with the AMD 770 chipset would be ideal, but I'll try to get away with anything with a AMD northbridge. (Hoping to not reinstall windows). PATA connection, and 4 DDR2 slots are a must. Form factor doesn't...

I can't believe I'm posting something so newbish, but I'm stumpped. I've got myself a FX-8350 processor, Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 (Rev 4.0) mobo with the latest F2 bios. I can't get any kind of stable overclock out of this thing. Not even 4.2ghz at a few bumps up from stock voltage. The...

So I'm upgrading my WC rig. I'm running a quad core Phenom right now, looking to go with a FX-8350. Loop setup: Dtek Fuzion v1 CPU block, ek block on the ancient X1950X video card, Liang DDC1 pump with Petra's top, 3 120mm fan rad in the original waterkeg setup. Think I'll get away...

Anyone have a watercooled video card they care to part with? Looking to stay close or under $100. If I don't find anything, I'll end up buying a card and block separately down the road once I pay for my current build. :) [EDIT] Got one. Thanks!

Looking for a smaller SSD to use for my HTPC OS drive. Something in the 32-64gb range is fine. Trying to keep it under $50 shipped. Thanks!

I'm currently doing this with a bridge interface and ebtables on a linux box. But we would like to replicate this using some old Cisco hardware we have laying around. (Thinking 2651) Mind you I'm not really that knowledgeable with IOS, and I don't even know if this is possible. I've got a...

Looking for a small LCD tv, nothing over 19" or so. I just want something to watch the morning news from the dining room, yet small enough I can put away when we have company. Open to cash and or trades My FS Thread Thanks!

With VMware player, is it possible to force the VM NAT interface to use a specific interface on the host? In this case, I have a VM setup for nat and all works as expected, but I want to route all the VM traffic out over my Cisco VPN interface. Ideas? (VMWare player 3.1.0, VPN Client...

So I finally got myself a newer (to me) ipod classic. Alas my beloved Ephpod is no good for newer ipods. My favorite feature was being able to quickly fix the case of artist, title, album, genres etc to be proper titles (first letter of most words in caps). A similar feature seems to be...

I'm using my older laptop a bit more these days, but the ol' 40gb drive in it is the biggest bottleneck. I'm not too concerned about size, just want something faster. (I need to check the specs on my current one yet).

I've setup a redhat box with two nics and bridged them. No interfaces have an IP on them, this box will be locally managed. This device will be used to transparently control it's users. I can handle blocking of services that are not allowed, but I would like to redirect web browsing to a...

I'm working on a little tool for our intraweb. In it's simplist form it's just a form mailer. I'm using php's mail(); command, but our mail server is super slow (outside of my control). How can I go about displaying a please wait type message after the user clicks submit? I don't want to...

So the stock PSU in my Qpack is on it's last leg. I know you can fit a standard size ATX supply, but I'm not changing my optical drives around to do so. Can anyone suggest a short power supply that will fit nicely, yet not be a total POS? :) I wish Newegg gave dimensions of their...

Anyone out there using cellular broadband (flash card or usb dongle from your cell carrier)? We're possibly moving to an area with no other broadband options. Verizon Wireless offers a plan for $60 per month 600k-1.4m downstream, 5gb monthly transfer. The sales rep was able to tell me...

Just what the subject says. I'm looking for a low profile AGP card, doesn't need to be anything fancy, but modern enough ubuntu to know what to do with it. :) Prefer something passivly cooled (I think most LP cards are anyway). I'm open for trades too...

So my GPU client has quit taking new WU's. I finally get around to reading why. It's a pretty big bummer that not even 12 months ago I spent a pretty penny on a couple X19xx cards specifically for folding.. The screamer fan on my 1950xtx got on my nerves, so I built a water cooled rig...

I'm considering going from analog cable to satelite (all SD for now). Most of my TV's have dedicated RG6Q runs, except one bedroom. The bedroom feed also has a 2 way splitter installed, but the other side of the splitter is un-used and has a terminator on the jack. Can the STB work in...

So I finally settled on a used Turion ML-32 for my firewall build. I plopped a Thermalright XP-90 cooler on it with a barely spinning 92mm fan. Temps are only slightly above ambient with the fan, so I figured what the hell! Without the fan, full load, I'm seeing a max temp of around 100f...

I was talking to some folks at work today and we came up with an interesting question. Just about all computer power supplies are selectable between 110 and 220 volt operation. But the connector is still only 3 conductor. So does the PSU only draw from one hot leg, and still have a...

I just want to put this out there mainly to vent. Please, whenever you are selling a motherboard, let the buyer know that you've lost the IO shield for it. I've bought several boards in the past few months that didn't come with them, and no mention was made that they were missing...

Just what the title says.. I need something cheap for a server I'm throwing together. Nothing fancy, I'm not even running a gui. Preferably something fanless. Nothing over $20 shipped please.

Looking to build a power efficient system based on an old S754 board and Turion proc. Looking for some ideas how to shim the core so it makes contact with a standard S754 hs/f. I know MSI makes a copper pad, but I can't seem to find anyone with one in stock. I've also read that you can...

Looking for a Micro atx socket 754 board. I will only take a full size ATX board if the price is unbeatable. :) I prefer something with onboard video, lower TDP chipset (ie, via or ULi), and support for E stepping CPU's (Turion 64). Let me know what you have! Non-CC paypal ready, or...

Are there any decent, yet inexpensive hardware raid controllers for SATA drives out there? I build a raid 0 setup with my onboard controller, but linux support sucks. Looks like I'm going to have to spend well more then I hoped. Got my eyes on the 3Ware 9650SE-2LP. I'd like to go 4...

Looking for an inexpensive (sub $100) SATA raid card with decent linux support. Massive ports not required, I'm only running 2 drives.

Never really put much thought into it, but now that I'm watercooling I have less fanage then in the past. How hot is too hot for my ram? I'm seeing around 150* f at load, at stock speeds, volts, and timings.

Is it normal for the water level to drop when my pump kicks in, and rise when it shuts off? Makes me think there's a bit of air in the system. If the level is dropping, the pump must be compressing air somewhere in the system. It's been running (leak test) for about 24 hrs, there are...

The problem I ran in to is with my D-tek fuzion and 1/2" ID tygon. There is no room between the tube/fittings for clamps. I did manage to wrap a 4" black zip tie around each fitting and pull tight as I could. Is this really acceptable for internal pc use? The tygon is so soft I can actuall...

I'm about to install my full cover block on my x1950 card. The used block didn't come with any thermal pads. Is it alright to re-use the ones from the stock cooler? They came right off in one piece. But the strip on the voltage regulator sink wont come off in one piece. Where can I...

Anyone use thinstall? Doesn't look to be a popular topic on the forum. More specifically, if you've ever used it.. Have you run into an issue where your thinstalled app keep relaunching until your out of physical memory then finally get an error?

So just something I've noticed with my past two builds.. Orthos stable for 24+ hours on Large in place FFT's Orthos stable for 24+ hours on Small FFT's But if I do the "blend" option I get a rounding error anywhere from 10minutes to 6 hours. HTT is under 1ghz, and RAM isn't being pushed...

Okay, excuse my ignorance. What the fark is up with the Brisbane core temps? I've seen so many formulas for figuring out what they really are, each yielding different results. I'm building a system around a Biostar Tforce 7050-M2, and it's temp sensors suck. The onboard cpu sensor is...
