Wondering if a hardware solution exists for what I'm looking for. Basically my mom wants to dump her old desktop which is giving her problems. I bought her an Asus EEE PC 1000 for Christmas, so what I was thinking is that she could use her keyboard/mouse/monitor from the desktop PC, and plug...

Friend of mine has an ASUS P5VD1-X motherboard, and currently has a Geforce2 MX (might be MX400 - I can't tell from Windows). I've looked at everything else, including the system memory (which needs bolstering), the cpu is 2.6ghz which is "ok", so I'm looking at replacing the video card. I'm...

I am shopping around for a new card, and want to make the best choice. I multi-box a few copies of WoW and after I run 5 copies, the performance dips down. They are all running at very low res (like 250 x 250 or somewhere in that area). I have the specs listed below in my sig. Would...

Hey guys... was hoping I could get some quick advice regarding buying 1-2 new hard drives. This would be a birthday present to myself, and this is really the only thing in the machine that could use some attention. I'm simply tired of not having enough space on my Raptor, with just a few...

I am working on putting a plan together to purchase/lease new hardware for an upcoming server virtualization project. This will include at least 2 servers, and shared storage. I currently have 8 physical servers that I am attempting to virtualize as best as possible. Medium to Heavy use...

I have the eVGA 122-CK-NF68 (680i) board, and their latest bios update requires you use a floppy disk, but I don't have a floppy drive. Is there a way I can boot off of a USB thumb drive? Is there a workaround perhaps? I'm getting ready to upgrade to Vista, and I am trying to get all my ducks...

The problem: When I'm playing a game, and/or listening to music while doing something else, I'll get a sound studder every so often. I don't know how else to describe it. Nothing else freezes or locks, just the sound. I'm using the onboard sound. What I've tried: I have updated every...

So, I took the plunge and got myself a C2D. I mostly play WoW, play music, watch movies, download stuff from BT or usenet and uncompress it. I'm wondering what software is out there that can really show me what the C2D can do. What programs are out there that will really make the C2D shine...

I just bought the following pieces of gear for a new system I'm putting together. I thought it was a sign that it failed authorization on my CC, so I thought I'd run it by you guys, see what you thought before I resubmitted the order. Just looking for anything from minor to major wrong here...

Hey guys... I've been looking for the past couple of weeks, and I haven't been able to find something that blows my skirt up. I need a good scanner (nothing amazing) that has the ability to scan negatives and slides. I saw some nice ones, but they were very pricey. I could probably do...

Good morning/afternoon everyone... I have a Vapochill PE, which according to the person I bought it from, was upgraded to XE-level cooling. It runs anywhere from -31C to -27C in this system. Last night, I had a shutdown, and it wouldn't start back up again. It was late, so I just gave up...

I am really going nuts here. I'm trying to figure out where my problem is. I have installed: Vapochill PE MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum 512mb Kingston HyperX pc4000 (same channel) BFG 6800GT OC Antec 480w True I put everything together, slowly and carefully. I got the PE 2nd hand from...

Well, I just don't think the extra money is worth it, not only for the motherboard, but for a PCIe video card (and good luck finding either in stock). The problem is now, I don't know which motherboard to shoot for. It'll be for a A64 939 90nm 3500+, and I think I'm also picking up a BFG...

Hey all, Just as the topic says. I'm looking to buy a Vapochill XE or LS, within the next few weeks (preferably ASAP). I live on Long Island, NY... so if you are close, that's a plus, but not required. Thanks!

Holy shit, it's 4:30am and I just won an auction on Ebay for a stand-alone Vapochill XE system. I think I got a pretty nice price on it, and I think the total will be about $320. So, as you can imagine, I'm excited about what is to come. This will be my first phase-change system, but I have...

Hey guys. I'm looking to purchase some type of phase change cooling for a rig I'll be putting together at the end of the year. I will probably be using an A64 CPU. I've looked at Vapochills, and Prometias, both here, on other forums, and on Ebay. I figure I'd throw out a thread, saying...

Ok guys, I could really use some advice from some of the well-informed folks here. I will be building a system in 2-3 months, and I was shopping around for cases, etc. now. I haven't decided on the CPU yet, motherboard, etc. But here is the dilemna I have: Prometia Mach I - $350 + S/H...

Hey all, I may be interviewing for a position shortly, and from what I can gather from the job req, they will be migrating users on Unix IMAP to Exchange 2000. Therefore, I am looking for any and all materials to familiarize myself with this scenario. I'm busting my ass to search for it...

Hey fellas... Been a while since I really needed to research the shit out of a rig. My 30th bday is in 2 months, and everyone is giving me $$CASH$$ *cha ching* to put towards this new rig. I am going balls out, and MAY even do phase change! *gasp* Basically my dream system, as this sure...

Hey all... I'm talking about the article on Rojak's Pot, where they took a 256mb 9800 Pro, and used flashed the BIOS to turn it into a 9800 XT. I saw that you can do the same for the 128mb model, which is preferable because it's $100 cheaper (and little to no performance difference between...

Hey guys... I have googled it using many, many terms, but am unable to find an article which outlines the reasons why ram optimizers at best do nothing, and at worst they can make performance worse. It was on the [H] front page a while back, but no search through the archives pulls anything...

Hey all... I get absolutely no sound in or out with this headset. I tried it with a previous install of WinXP, no go. I just reinstalled WinXP (not because of this), plugged in the headset, and I get squat... nada... zip... zilch. It will neither record nor play anything. I've check all...

Hello all... I would desperately like help with this issue. I have setup internet printing, and it works internally, but not if I try to connect from the internet. One server hosts both Exchange (and OWA), and the printer in question. I have forwarded ports 80, and 631 to the server, but I...

Hey all... system is in the sig, and I was just wondering what temperatures I should expect. The system is cooling the CPU and GPU. Right now I'm idling over 100F, and I just think that's higher than it should be. Thank you all for any help.

Hey all... I'll make this as brief as possible. I recently had issues with my power supply, so I got it replaced through Antec (under warranty). While I was waiting on a replacement, I was using a friend's PS, which is some generic brand, but worked great. Now, I receive the new PS, and I...

Hey all... I just started this new job, and I want to run F@H on all the machines here (100+), including 7 servers, but I have a few issues: 1. I don't want the icon to show up on the taskbar. I don't want some user to exit it, not recognizing what it is, or what it does. I also really...

Hey all... Just put a WC system together, and I want to absolutely jam out my CPU at every step of the way. Just a little info first, before I get to my question. Right now, at idle, I'm at 86F case and 95F CPU using MBM. Is it me, or does the 86F seems VERY high as the ambient in here...

I just purchased the Danner Mag 3, which is now known as the Pondmaster 350. I had it running for testing last night, and notice this noise that it makes. It doesn't seem to be air, because I turned and twisted this thing around every which way I can think of to get any and all air out. It...

Hey all... I'm so frickin excited!!!!!! w00t!!!!!11!!!!!one!!! Just ordered my WC setup, after about 6 months of waiting. I plan on buying the tubing and clamps at Home Depot, a Bay-Res reservoir for $20, and I bought an Eheim pump on Ebay for $30 (264 g/h - don't know the model) but here...

I have an IC7-G, and Windows XP. In power options I tell Windows not to suspend by selecting the "always on" profile, and verifying all drop down boxes say "Never", including suspending. For some reason, when I leave the PC overnight, it suspends. When I wake it up, it states something...
