Well you must have placed a hex on it because it just gave up the ghost, intermittent power on/off cycling, now I'll have to prematurely upgrade and retrofit a preloved Antec :o Such is life...

Doesn't matter where you are (or what type of entity) if your expenditure exceeds your income in you're in an unsustainable position and destined to fail, apart from that it's time Politicians remember who they're supposed to be representing first and foremost in Parliament... the people who...

+1 ;) Might have a lot to do with the fact that I'm using significantly older tech platforms than the majority of you too though :)

Maybe you need to shop down here in our food retail chain stores, I picked up Warcraft I & II for $10.00 each back in 1996/97 (when they were still relatively new) which led to my addiction for various RTS games... curse you Blizzard! LMAO :lol:

Congrat's on a successful LCD monitor recycling project Bozo! :D Not quite the same but here's the power board out of my Acer AL1916W, I pulled the capXon's and repopulated with Hitano GP & LowESR series ;)

Time for a face lift then too perhaps as well as a hardware overhaul :D

Oh I see... thanks for the clarification, so basically a radiant element heater :D

I don't know, those Noirot space heaters (and their direct competitors) run a 50/50 cycle and work out to just 4c per hour for the 2000w unit (on a medium setting) it doesn't turn in F@H WU's but at least we don't freeze during winter :D I think our reverse cycle A/C is more efficient but...

Except when your PC is attempting to send or awaiting download WU's ;) Mmmmmm... folding farm = nice and toasty during the winter months :D

looks like a beast! ;) Low RPM doesn't have to mean low CFM, still I'll stick with a variable fan for now as it's reassuring to hear them speed up occasionally :D

What's the CFM rating of the fan?

I was responding to Mercutio's case fan observation... I wouldn't put a low speed fan on any CPU, that's what system regulated variable fan control is for ;)

Noisy fans? not a problem, fit a fanbus, do a volt mod on the said fan OR wire a variable trimpot (resistor) in line ;)

Ah... can I get that in an RPM/Tarball file? :lol: I didn't realise FF5 had moved off Beta till I read this thread, thanks for the heads up guys I'm really enjoying the responsiveness of this new browser ;)

I'm curious what type of Hardware firewall you're using (and/or recommend), the last one I built during the dial-up days was based on the small Coyote Linux "floppy" distribution and ran beautifully on a Cyrix 233/VA-502 combo, as I could be relocating to a cable Internet serviced location I...
