I've been looking at replacing the 120mm fans I've got in my CM690 (I've got 5x120mm fans) The ones i have are reasonably quiet, however..I'm looking at reducing the noise even further. Are these SilenX fans really all that the descriptions imply? http://www.svc.com/ixp-74-14t.html or...

Kinda like the title says... I have an 8800gts640mb in this system, as well as a GTX260. When I show the display, it shows that it's using the 8800gts...is there a way for it to be set to utilize the gtx260? Or could it already be using the GTX260 as it's set as the primary adapter and the...

As the title says. I currently have an x1800xtpe in that system and it is getting long in the tooth now with some of the current games. I don't need something super fancy, just something that will do the trick for the next couple years or so. Eye candy is always nice, and AA is a definate...

Thread over at XS on them. Looks like some decent improvements with regard to physx + OGL3 support http://www.xtremesystems.org/Forums/showthread.php?t=198565

I figured with all these "is my psu enough" threads, I'd throw one in slightly different. I have: EVGA 680i Q6600 @ 3.6Ghz 4x1Gb ddr1066 4x320gb SATA drives 1xPATA DVD/RW GTX260 @ 756/1200 8800GTS640 @ 700/1000 X-Fi Titanium Pro PCI-E OCZ GameXtreme 600w Here's the issue I'm...

I'm looking to power the following: EVGA 680i A1 C2Q @ 3.6Ghz 4x1Gb DDR2 1066 GTX260 (700c/1512s/1215m) 8800GTS640(700c/1600s/1000m) 4x7200rpm SATAII drives Auzentech X-Mystique (upgraded op-amps) 4xUSB devices (mouse, Kb, cardreaders) I currently have an OCZ GameXtreme 600w...

Is it possible to run EWF with Windows Vista? I've googled a bit and havenn't really found a solid answer. There seems to be an fbwf, but not a true EWF as in XPembedded.

So, I've got a GemniII which really sucks when massive amounts of heat gets pumped throught it (was free so I can't complain too much). I was thinking of the TRUE120, or possibly one of the HDT hsf's I've seen recently. However...I'm also intrigued by water and the possibility of getting...

Here's the system: Asus A8n32-SLI deluxe A64 3200+ SINGLE CORE cpu. (tried both underclocked, overclocked, stock, etc) 4 dimms (2x512mb, 2x256mb) ddr400 ATI X1800XTPE 1 x 40gb SATA hdd 1x DVD rom 1xLinksys PCI wireless card Power Supply - Enermax 465w. Now, here's the problem: Random...

currently i have an Antec 3700AMB (with stamped fan grills cut out) and am looking for a case that is both quieter AND cooler. I'm looking into something along the lines of a mid to super-mid tower, not a full tower like the stackers. I've sort of narrowed it down to an Antec900 or the...

saw this link about them starting a "Terabyte Bandwidth Initiative" in which they aim to provide multi-core cpu's up to a terabyte of memory bandwidth. interesting...and would kick ass if it worked...and wasn't expensive as hell like other rambus crap.

I have a 6600GT agp in my htpc and figured I'd give vista a go on it just for kicks. Everything seemed to go smoothly with the exception of the video resolution. I can set it to 720p, or 1080i, but no 1080p? I also can't manually change the resolution to 1920x1080@60hz as it FORCES me to use...

So I have the machine in the sig. Using 2gb of Crucial running at stock speeds (they don't o/c for crap...they'll hit 225 on a good day). I had another 1gb from my other system that is currently down for awhile and figured I'd just add it to mine...couldn't hurt right? Well....I knew I'd...

I have the following system that I'm about to put together for my son who is starting to get into computer games. Since I work more than play now, I've kinda lost touch with the video cards and such. So, would the system listed below be sufficient to play games (like BF2, Ghost Recon series...

Ok...a little background first. I'm learning .NET...on my own...no classes. And I had a nifty script that would take a text file and split it into a predefined number of files with equal data in each file. I'd like to do the same in a VB.Net app. I figured, hell, that should be simple...but...

so, there's single channel ram, and dual channel ram. I was wondering...since most full sized motherboards come with 4 dimm slots, why not also make a "Quad channel" implementation? Wouldn't that be like a 256-bit interface (If I understand it right that is....single channel being 64-bit, dual...

This problem is plagueing me ever since I've setup the endian box. Every single website I go to comes up fine. Nice and fast. No complaints and the content filtering works great. However...it seems that there is just *something* with mail.charter.net that makes things slow to an absolute...

I've googled around a bit and can't really find anything on the subject....but anyway, I just got this T60 and I *THOUGHT* the company was ordering one of the decent ones (Core Duo, 100gb drive, etc)...but instead I got shafted with a T1300 1.66Ghz Core Solo. The system uses an i945GM...

Here's the scoop. I was given one of those thermoelectric refrigerators b/c the power supply for it was dead. It's a sunbeam unit, and I suppose is about 1.5cubic feet inside. The power supply was 12v @4.2A. Assuming that the pelt is a 50w unit,what would be good for this? anything? I...

I know i can get a benQ from ZZF, but i'd rather order everything from one place b/c it's easier. So, Newegg doesn't have any BenQ DVD burners anylonger...so I'm wondering what's the next best thing? An NEC? this one A Samsung? this drive actually. thanks ;)

I'm not going real high end, but something decent and a LOT cooler than the current P4 3.2Ghz that's in my HTPC (taking the guts and moving the htpc to my son's computer, and putting a AMD 64 into the htpc, already have the board, ram, psu, and video card). I was thinking of the AMD 3200+...

I just installed Endian this evening and have 3 NIC's installed (2 3Com's and a DLink). I have it all setup to content filtering, virus scanning, etc. I also have PC's (4 actually) that connect to a DLink wireless router (DI-524 pos). I setup Endian with a Red, Green, and Blue interface...

I'm tossed... I'm moving my HTPC hardware to my son's pc (P4 3.2ghz, 1gb ram, 6600gt) and putting my old hardware (DFI Ultra-D, A64 3400+, 1gb RAM) in the htpc and need a decent yet somewhat inexpensive PCI-E x16 video card. I'm tossed between the 7600GT and x1600Pro. I'm heavily leaning...

Is there a way to minimize or possibly even hide the exec window? example code: Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("cmd /c notepad.exe") Do While oExec.Status = 0 'Bob's your uncle Loop

Is there a way to assign network adapters to certain functions??? For example, what I'm wanting to do is have 2 NIC's in 1 system. 1 NIC is for a VPN client only, while the other is reserved for use by VMware. I tried unchecking the boxes on the "VPN Nic" for the VMWare stuff so that...

just curious...but would the 6200 be a decent replacement for 9600xt? It's going to be used in an HTPC, and the max res is 1366x768. What I'm wanting to do is move the 9600xt to a pc I'm building for my son. All he'll be doing on it is schoolwork, some internet games (from disney and...

like the title says...I'm torn between the two. I'm looking to replace my Ultra-D that blew the magic blue smoke on me. I'm going to RMA it, however I'm planning on getting an X2 and maybe moving the HTPC mb/cpu to my son's pc and moving the Ultra-D/3200+ to the HTPC (much cooler than the...

Ok...my Ultra-D bit the dust. So I contact DFI...I get a response back with an RMA form and a copy of their RMA policy. In that policy it states . So, I contach MonarchComputer where I bought it from....and they tell me I can't RMA through them b/c it's past their "90 day" policy/warranty...

Ok...my Ultra-D bit the dust. I was working on a program this evening and the screen went blank and I smelled smoke. did the typical troubleshooting of unplugging everything but the board itself and a video card and turned it on only to see smoke coming from one of the power components on the...

I'll try to sum this up without too many words. :D not sure will happen the way I want though... I've taken a few pictures like these : (resized to 1024x768. taken with a Canon Rebel XT) I have an HP 7660 Photoprinter. Print quality itself is very good. I'm quite pleased with...

I searched for a while and couldn't find anything so here goes... I have an older INWIN full tower case that I may put to use in the near future. The finish on it has definately seen better days, especially the front of it. I was going to re-paint it...inside and out to make it look decent...

Here's the situation... I have a desktop pc in my "office" downstairs that is connected to work via VPN 98% of the time. Problem is I can't always be downstairs all the time and a laptop is out of the question currently. Would it be possible so install a second NIC in the office pc, and...

anyone else able to run this? I know it normally had support for 75hz, but i unchecked the box to "hide unsupported resolutions" and selected 85hz (using DVI) and it's been working just fine, even in games. Haven't tried any higher, but has anyone else done this? Tried any higher than 85hz...

Ok...all you .Net junkies out there...I hope this is a simple solution ;) I've got a datagridview (VB.NET) object that is auto-populated based on the results from an SQL query (I'm assuming this is considered a "bound" datasource. I'm using the DataGridView1.DataSource = myData and myData is...

Just wanted to know what you guys thought about the toshiba I put in the title. I now own one b/c of Best Buy and their Geek Squad. I used to have a Gateway laptop (actually, I shouldn't say I since it's really my wife's laptop) and it was a Celeron M 1.3Ghz, 512mb ram, 60gb hdd, 14.1...

I've googled for the past 2 hours and setup, uninstalled, resetup, etc... the problem I run into is that after I get php installed on my test machine (the machine it's running on is a 2ghz p4 w/XP Pro and 1gb ram) and try to test php functionality...I ALWAYS get I've followed 3 or 4...
