very clean setup, kind of supprised that you did not go with right angle SATA cables, might clean it up some, but when you are running 12 of them, that might not be a viable sollution.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Over!! 2cpu is a monster forum, not on the scale of {h} but still a great forum, and if you ask a question over there, you will get an answer. I know i read it more then i read [H], because the people over there are nicer, and alot less bs and drama goes on.

yes because you can tell what i am doing in my 1989 mercedes 200e (minor mods under hood (turbo, switch to diesel, 6sp vs 5sp trans 18inch tires vs 17) basicaly big black and fast, when i roll down your street at ~25 mph (or what ever the posted limite is (here it is normaly 30KmPH), or the fact...

there are a few cases from antec that have dual 120 or at least a single 120 in the rear, like the sonata (both old and new models) and the lanboy. Most cases come with shit psu, thats just the way it is, i have not found a single case that comes with a PCP&C psu, untill then i get my cases...

1 tyan dual 246 opti 4 asus pc-dl's with dual 2.0 xeons (good sale on the chips) 1 dual P3 1.4 tully 1 asus pc-dl with dual 1.6 xeons 1 sorta dualy (ht) p4 (not quite but close :D)

it should have enough power, but make sure you get the correct model with the SSI connectors for your MB, it will make the board more stable. I know that they will run off of a ATX psu, but i had stability issues with my first pc-dl and then upgraded from 550watt ATX to a 550 SSI power supply...

talking as one that owns both the optis and xeons, i like the xeons a little bit more (and they are cheapre right now (intel less then amd go figure)) i curently use both Tyan and Asus mbs for my xeons the Tyan 7205 and the I875 powered boards, the Pc-Dl is cheaper but i needed the scsi for...

i dont think so, becaue the top line is 100 connection speed the next down it 10, i have not seen/read about a router/hub/switch that will show both the 100 and 10 as active for any reason. but you could just re-wire the leds to do that at the flick of a switch but you would need an extra row...

arnt most printer either LPT (read parralle) or USB or Network driven, and if so why does the lack of a COM (read serial) port mater at all?

you do see that the "just a verticle tube thats got a cap" is connected to a T fitting, and is what most people would call a t line, and with its placement, it would fill the sysetm fine, would a res fill/bleed faster sure, but it does have a t line.

if you think that theft of services is a non-issue, get a 2.4ghz cordless phone, and search of a channel that is open with dial tone, with out hooking up your base station, and yes you can do this, because my home phone works great with my buddies base station, (different apt but same complex)...

Unless you have express permission, in most cases written permission, it can be considered Theft of Services, not by the owner, but by the provider (i.e. att/mci/us-west/roadrunner). Now you might have a way out, if the wireless access point is named something to the effect that it is open...

and this is in the SMP section why?

if you wnat to buy from a great company, that will ship APO look to either www.newegg.com or www.zipzoomfly.com I have orderd items from them both in that past, and they ship to my APO all the time with out any problems.

one of the copper fins? an ALU fin? or one of the fan blades?

when i had dual MP's i upgraded from the stock to the zalman 6000's and they were alot quiter they also droped the load temps from 55c to ~44c! i did have to mod them just a little bit, as seen below. but other then that they fit fine, and they cool great:D. and they are more then ehough...

just FYI if you are chaing the multi on a P4 (non Xeon) it is un-locked, thats what un-locked means for intel p4 cpus.

IIRC the only time people have run 2 different spped chips in one mb, is if they are overclocking one to the other, or underclocking one to the other, ignoring that Alphas can and do run cpus are differnt speeds. also no MB maker or chip maker will support you if you run 1 differnt...

IIRC the p4p has the cpu socket up a little higher then the p4c, but if you have some room over your MB and the psu it should fit fine, i know in one case i had to remove the fan gard on the PSU for it to fit, it misses the fan, but the fan gard was in the way. but most of the other cases i use...

it has very little to do with your hd read/write speeds, you are sending data over wireless, and i know they claim 54mbs, but you really can only use half of the (duplex issues) so thats 28mbs, and then you get about half of that because of overhead issues, and you are down to 14mbs, and thats...

unless i fucked up somewhere, it should be with that subnet and your provided ip or 63.203.43.170 the subnet id it is 63.203.43.168 the subnet broadcast is 63.203.43.175 the usable ip range is 63.203.43.169-174 what i understood to be the 'defacto standard' was your gateway should be the...

most test show the 533 fsb xeons keeping up and or passing the X48-50 optis (note i put an x in front because it does not relate to performance or anything, just the level of smp support (read 1way =1xx, 2way =2xx, 8way=8xx), and the 800fsb xeons are performing faster then the 533 at the same...

the 3.0ghz will suffer a little bit in gaming vs the 3.4ghz ee chip, simply because most games are not SMP aware at all. but more of them are geting multi threaded things to HT from intel, and that will help midigate this effect. but the 3.0ghz will clean the 3.4ee clock on almost everything...

right that was ment to be PSU not CPU, was typing faster then i was thinking (or the other way around) :D and why would you use outdated pictures? for a new setup? I just dont see how he got away from a totaly fanless system, without soemthing massive to cool it, i did not think that thouse...

how did you get away from all the fans, dont your PSU have a fan or two in them? is the fans in your back grill under the psu just not hooked up (i think i can see the fan hubs but i might be wrong)? and is the fan/blow hole in the top of you case just a hole with out a fan in it? if you...

are you going with a passive (sorta) setup i.e. no fans on the rad, or are you going to use a house fan to move air through the fan? but i think your pump should be good enough for what you want, but you might want to step up to a ehime 1280 (monster pump and very quite) i use a few of them...

the asus ncch is a great board (from what i can see) but it is harder then all get out to find in the us, but the iwill 800 is easy to find. and i dont know what the price on the asus will be, and as you can see by my sig, i have nothing against asus. the ncch should be a great board. the...

yes that is the cpu i was talking about, if cash is a problem, get him just one cpu and this moitherboard, and you can upgrade to a second cpu later. you could also put in 2 hd's and setup this up as raid, for a boost in most applications that require HD read/rights. Hope this helps, i know...

keep one, and set it up as your local domain controler/file server and fold (team 3074 team 2cpu the best little team on the net) and sell the rest to fund your new dual xeon/opti :D

since he is using Cinema 4d a very smp friendly program, i would defently go with a dual, and duals are not all the expenisve anymore, you could build a monster opti 246 based system that should be almost twice as fast as the 3.4 in cinema 4d and alot other smp aware programs for around 1800...

elcamino just a few things to keep in mind, that by bypassing your school firewall/networking rules you could get expelled, so dont do it.

your speeds on comcast could be do to the fact that comcast likes to over-satrate their network, and that causes bad speeds, but for the most part cables speeds are bursty so if you try your test later, you might get better speeds. but you could always call comcast and complaine but i dout it...

while a faster cpu say a fx53 or p4 3.4ghz will out perform a dual system in alot of programs, because of the lower overhead of only 1 cpu asking for resources, some applications will bennfit from a second cpu, most Divix encoders, and alot of tools in photochop will use both cpus, and you will...

all intel boards based on the 7520 and the 7525 boards have atleast one pci-Ex and most have 2 PCI-Ex but none of them have any AGP support, also they support the new 800mhz fsb xeons :D very fast, very smoth, and not too expensive.

did the problems just start after the SP2 upgrade? if so, i would uninstall SP2 and reinstall it. make sure he has some sort of current anti-virus running, sort sounds like a variation on the nimda virus (IIRC or was it the blaster that disconnected you?) also has he tried switching the ports...

do you have the latest drivers for your nic card? do you have the latest stable bios for the router? have you reset the routers? can anyone eles ever connect to the Wireless side of the router? is your laptop seeing the router wirelessly at all? make sure your router is in the leased...

basicly yes. can you runn diff steppings on some systesms yes could it cause issues yes will it cause issues, dont know i ran a xp2200+ and an xp2100+ both with the l5 mod, and hard changed to 2400+ chips for 2 years with out any problems in a tyan dual MP board.

the best anti-freeze i have seen is only good too -100c or so, LN2 is ~-168c (IIRC) so it will still turn the water to ICE and not flow throught your system.

unless comcast has made a change in the past few months, i moved out of the states in april, and had comcast back then, you dont need any software running on your machine for it to work. All you have to do is hook up the cable modem to the coax cable (it is nicer if it has its one line with out...

if you are only using the wireless network for internet stuff (email/web/on-line gaming) then B is plenty, aslong as you dont satrate the network, ie keep it to under 4 or 5 machines, if you need more then say 7 wireless conncetions get G or if you are going to use a Domain Controler (with...
