I'm also planning to build me a web server too in the not so distant future. Hopefully some of the resourses yall have suggested will send me in the right direction.
I know all about the addiction! I think 2 had me more than 3, but 4 may set new presedent Nov 15th. But I heard they were going to do some major changes to corruption, and I haven't seen anything mentioned in either of the sites. But golly, it shore is perdy!
I'd go with the sensor also, my sensor is kindof weird a little like that too (though not quite as bad). I'd say get throttle watch and if it says everything's ok then ok. It won't burn up or nothin.
I forgot drivers for awhile when I got mine (because the MB people didn't send them), but after that I had to go and turn it on in BIOS. Just a thought really.
I've got one and it serves me alright. Easy to OC, but I think I may be having issues with the temp monitor thingie (I can't really trust its acuracy). Not really a big issue with mine because I got a 3.0c, but with an AMD I'd be worried to OC it a bit. Then, it may just be me. Nothing wrong...
I got the 3.0C too, and I have no plans on upgradeing anything anytime soon. In another year it'll be DDR2, PCI-e, and now maybe smithfield too. Don't buy liferafts for the sinking ship. Just let it go into the deep.
I got myself an all in wonder awhile back, it's hard to beat. But I guess if you don't need the whole thing, you gots bunches of options (but the ATI has a remote!)
Just a thought really, but how is the restart switch doing down there? Could it be freaking out or something when you're not looking, perhaps not connectig well with the MB?
Got mine the other day too. Don't want to rightly blame it on the soap, but the results sucked ass. I guess there's a reason why we never use the dishwasher around here.
I got the 256 cruzer and I fucking love these things. I use alot of public computers at school and it doesn't get better than this. Look left, and look right, those guys are useing floppys. He He, not me, not today. Awwww, it doesn't fit on that floppy, too bad. I have a RedVsBlue COLLECTION on...
Badger got me onto the 4pda2+ too, and so far I've been fairly pleased. I had some slight difficulty putting XP on my SATA seagate, but I think that was because I fudged something somewhere (still don't know what I did). OC is extremely easy, now my cooling may be slowing me down (I think, still...
So are you at 1.490 for just the stuff listed? Because if you want to cut a couple costs, I would suggest hitting that sound card and pulling it down a couple notches. I got a turtle beach santa cruz for about $36, and if your speakers aren't up to par with the sound card, what's the point...
I have my XP on a SATA when I built mine, and it was a complete pain in the ass. Two hours later it finally got going and I still don't know why. I have ideas, but that's about it.
I usually just use the desk, but I've recently quasi-temporary moved to a diffrent surface, with some sort of fake wood grain going on. That was completely unacceptable, so I got a generic jim bob one for the meantime. Are there any good ones sold at retail places?
The Chemical Warfare Grill is definately a keeper, maybe the green too. If it's UV sensitive it'll be good (in moderation). It does seem to go with al the greenish UV fans. What is the verdict on the stripes?
Edit: How about having a peice of glowy stuff at the bottom, so that it might look...
I'm in the same boat without being able to beleive my temps. Was looking into some sort of external monitor for awhile, but I couldn't get any input from anyone. My solution was to just ignore it, and get throttle watch to see what's really going on, but I suppose you don't have that luxury with...
I don't see anything wrong with the black yellow, although I will go ahead and say it could be thought that it doesn't go with the camo. The way I figure, if you're going to drop the stripes, might as well go all the way.
I feel your pain, kindof. I want to find out what I always talk about in my sleep. The guys would try to record it but they're too slow. I have a mission now. Stay strong brother, we can't all be crazy.
