    Best order to do my loop in

    The air will work its way out eventually, but it goes a lot faster if the res is at the highest point in the loop.

    RE-Building The House of RagE - AGAIN

    Dang Rage. I remember when you started the build of the first server (page 1). Except I followed that build on that other forum (Ph... you know). Can't wait to see the new build finished.

    In search of silent case.

    I just built a new rig for my brother with the Lian Li PC-K7B and it's remarkably quiet. Great case to work on, too.

    tap and die set, but what size(s)?

    Most cases are 6-32. Lian Li uses 3mm metric threads (don't remember the pitch off the top of my head)

    DIY HTPC Case - Lego?

    Lego's are great insulators - they're plastic and hollow, so they won't conduct heat at all. You'll have to put some case fans in your design, but if you do that right, I don't think you'll have any cooling problems. Just engineer the airflow well.

    XML Encryption

    Theoretically, you could have your web server check the client header in the HTTP request, and only allow the flash player access based on that - but any decent power user will be able to spoof an HTTP header with minimal effort. I can't think of a good way to encrypt the XML file and then have...

    Can someone explain to me how SMP works at the bus level?

    So, my uncle posed an interesting question to me today, which had me completely puzzled. I had never thought of how multi-processor systems work at the electrical level - how they get data from the bus and put it back onto the bus. Basically, how does each core know when to pick up data from...

    AC full cover 8800GT block in Stock!

    And aluminum conducts heat faster, right? I was under the impression that since the aluminum plate is for transferring heat, not dissipating it, so you would be more worried about conductivity than specific heat.

    How to monitor home power consumption???

    Why don't you just go read the meter that's on the back of your house every day? You're basically asking for the same data the power company uses to bill you, and that's how they do it.

    anyone ever paint their case a digital camou pattern?

    I've seen normal camo done, but I don't think I've ever seen digital. That might look pretty cool, depending on what colors you used.

    Lian li's new case....PC-P80

    QFT. I don't really like it. Lian-Li was one of the last companies with completely clean case designs. Give us the old school ATC designed CM cases. Not even the new Silverstone stuff holds up to that.

    WTB (or PIF): Black floppy ribbon cable (or ATA-66 cable)

    I'm in need of a black floppy cable (to split into 10-pin segments for things like internal USB, serial, etc) and I couldn't find any lying around. Does anyone have one? I think Asus and Abit package them with motherboards. (Please note that I am not looking for a rounded cable. Just a nice...

    Outage Update

    Only if your browser and/or OS isn't caching dns results. They'll both point to the same server after going through DNS, but if the DNS server isn't configured just right it will take a little longer for the query for http://hardforum.com to resolve.

    Cheap Coolant + Colors How ?

    Yep, antifreeze for cars. GM's DexCool stuff is red or orange (can't remember which), normal off brand stuff is green, and VW / Audi / Porsche stuff is blue (G11) or red (G12). You can also look around at places like Performance-PCs and FrozenCPU to find coolant mixes designed for PCs.

    Cheap Coolant + Colors How ?

    If you can find any blue antifreeze, you can use that - but don't mix it in a 50/50 concentration! 10% antifreeze to 90% water is the highest you should use.

    Im going to start building PC cases in my garage

    I think it's a piece of crap. And as for the "have-nots" being the only ones that don't like it, well... I own an ATC-110. I don't think that classifies me as a "have-not."

    Cheap Coolant + Colors How ?

    You can get blue antifreeze from Petra's [ http://www.petrastechshop.com ] in small amounts, or drop by your local VW / Audi / Porsche dealer and ask them. You're looking for Pentosin G11 antifreeze. Works great in a 5% or 10% concentration.

    I would definitely use it, but in my experience people here know more about mainstream stuff because they're all gamers. If we could get enough people interested, it would be awesome.

    Candidate Q6600 system for moderate overclocking

    Sandisk U3 1, 2, and 4Gb at Radioshack

    They're great drives too - I picked up a 2gb for $20 at Staples a few weeks ago. They come with a portable apps system so you can take your programs (and settings) with you. Quite handy.

    WTB: 6800 ultra AGP, K7N2 Delta2 Platinum

    What's the best CPU block for overclocking? Need help!

    The Fuzion or Apogee GT/GTX will be your best bet for OC'ing a 6600, since it's a dual-die chip. As for TN's comments, well... IBTL. :D

    What's the best CPU block for overclocking? Need help!

    Bowing is just that - it's when you bow the base of the CPU block so that it is convex.
