    Thinking about Dumping my Atlas 10K III (36GB)

    Kevin, The model number looks right (not like the ones I mentioned). I would RMA it anyway as I don't believe the whine is normal. Clipton - That's what you think! :)

    How many times should I help someone move?

    Help him but be sure to drop the best furniture on the stairway. Make sure everything gets scratched and broken beyond repair as you move it. If he asks you to pay for damages, refuse to and deny you had anything to do with it even though everyone knows it was you. He will never ask you to help...

    Thinking about Dumping my Atlas 10K III (36GB)

    Kevin, I have three 10K IIIs running at the same time and hear no whining noise at all. They grumble but even with three at once it is not loud enough to bother me. What is the model number on your 10K III? Someone at SR had a problem with two 36gig 10K IIIs that were also whining. He returned...

    OT: Apology to China

    I would have expected this sort of rabble rousing to have come from a consonant. I had thought you vowels knew better than to misbehave in such a loathsome fashion. :monky: Watch it!

    Either I'm the best damn moderator around or you guys are the best behaved bunch of people on the internet. I feel like the "Maytag" repair man. :mrgrn:

    New look: opinions please

    Speaking of RedHill.net, I emailed them a while back asking if I could buy one of those pretty pictures on their site with the Kangaroo and the numbers on it. Rude people - they never even bothered to answer.

    Golden Oldie but not forgotten...

    Good lord! How could I have forgotten The Boss? Saw him in the mid 70's. Also an excellent live show. No one plays Rock and Roll "live" quite as well as Bruce and the E Street Band!

    Golden Oldie but not forgotten...

    Well I also saw the Rolling Stones around 72' or so. Stevie Wonder opened for them along with Gladys Knight (and the Pips of course). I also saw America (twice in fact) and Chicago. My two favorite concerts I went to though were the Allman Brothers (When both were alive and with Dickie Betts)...

    Golden Oldie but not forgotten...

    I was lucky enough to see Stepenwolf (SP?) perform "Born to be wild" in concert back in the early 70's. Great song, brings back good memories.

    News on SF front page - anyone reading?

    I voted for "Every time I visit" but that's only since I changed the shortcut to it in my "favorites" folder. Which I just did today! Still can't log in there however.

    How quiet is your computer?

    I would expect Pradeep's time for single WU to quite possibly be faster than mine. As for two WUs or more at a time, I don't know.

    How quiet is your computer?

    Tim - I've only just started. I have 50 at the moment. I joined the Overclockers.com team. Pradeep - Because my Xeons have Hyper-threading I can run four at one time. The team I belong to has a benchmark WU we use to compare times with. When I installed Seti I noticed that Seti Driver listed a...

    Bragging Rights? Hey I use this thing for Seti! That's hi-tech! When I discover the first Alien contact from Outter-Space, we'll see who is laughing then.

    How quiet is your computer?

    Plenty. I guess I have close to 4K "invested" (key word used to assuage one's conscience) overall.

    The Osbournes

    Anyone else watch "The Osbournes"? I'm hooked, it's hilarious and kind of touching at the same time. If the cast were hand selected just for the show they couldn't come up with better characters than the real thing. Ozzie is a riot!

    How quiet is your computer?

    Here's what I've done to quiet done my Xeon rig - First I bought a Lite-on FS-020 case from coolcases.com and had it fitted with three 120mm Panaflo fans. Then I replaced my power supply fan with a thermally controlled 80mm fan. Finally I bought a rheostat fan controller that has four pots on it...

    Yes, you would also be wise to infer that the Bar and the Babes are at the bottom of the Mountain, not the top.

    Moderators: call for nominations

    Well a shootout would hardly be fair unless you gave me at least two 90MM anti-aircraft guns to match Jason's. Then again, I'm the spitting image of a young Clint Eastwood. No doubt Dirty Harry could take him. How's this for a new signature - You've got ask yourself just one question - "Do...

    James is officially OTH today!

    Take it from me wise guy - 50 feels like "under the hill". :) The "over the hill" at 30 was just a tease of course. I had to put up with being told I was "over the hill" at 30, 40 and 50 so it's nice to have an opportunity to "pass it on".

    Opinions wanted about NIKAO Noblesse enclosure.

    It could use 120mm fans instead of 80s. But it is a nice looking case with pleanty of drive room.

    OT: Apology to China

    Well that's what having kids does to you. I drive my son to school at 7:00AM each weekday. If I've stayed up late on line it can be a bit rough crawling out of the rack on time. At the moment we are having a cold snap here in Florida. Temperatures are in the 40F range here in St. Petersburg. So...

    Hyperthreading (SMT)

    Gary, As you probably know by now, Intel has finally announced the release of the SMT Prestonias. I am using XP Pro and the Device manager shows four cpus. It does not distinguish between physical and logical cpus. It also showed four with my previous Foster Xeons. However with the Fosters the...

    Where are you (SR) people? :(

    If someone really wanted to help SR's B&G Forum they would give a certain individual a job so that he might actually do something constructive with his time. Isn't there someone out there with an opening?

    Thanks, Just a normal size hard cover book. I'll send it to you and see what you think. If you can't bring it back with you, let me know and we'll figure out someone or thing to donate it to or whatever. BTW - Somehow I just can't picture James with a Ghettoblaster. :D

    Head for the hills! Pradeep's in America!

    Pradeep, I don't know how far you are from Ballarat back home, or how full your suitcase is already, but if I were to send you a book would you be able to get it to Brother Tannin?
