The cost is only prohibitive if you don't have the money. ;) I think Lunar was aiming for cost effective, but where is the fun in that :p

I have a loop built and testing now, just to make sure I know how to make watertight seals. I still don't know how I'm going to bleed all the air from a system I can't move/shake/rotate. I'll just have to be very careful to not let any hoses create high spots.

I really like quiet, and have gone to great lengths to achieve it in my office. If my computer is off, I start to hear a light ringing in my ears that is only drowned out when I breathe. Did I mention I really like quiet? ;)

1. It previewed fine for me. 2. It previewed fine for me. 3. An excellent point, but that isn't really about the word processor? You can "Save As..." docs all day in Word without it telling you you've already done it.

Tech unemployment around here is still in the double-digits, but those with skills are still getting jobs at good rates. There is still stuff around, it just doesn't grow on trees anymore.

It says so, but I've never gotten it to work. It always says that the other user's version of Skype doesn't support it.

All the bits came in today. Currently cleaning out all the gunk from the rad, pump, and other bits. I turned my loop into a line, drawing from a 60-gallon sink of really hot water and dumping into another sink 5' down the counter. System volume is roughly equivalent to the faucet on full-blast...

This is the issue. Writing docs with Google is fine, but it isn't the tool to create a book or advertisement.

Skype. I shipped a few netbooks to relatives in Russia with Skype in the startup menu and pre-configured user accounts. These people have never owned computers before, and required 30 seconds of instruction. Super easy, super common, and free.

Even if they were a good boss, and even if it was a good, successful company, setting off on a new adventure is always a good feeling. The dream hasn't been ruined by reality yet ;)

My bad, I was thinking about peltier coolers.

At least you have a computer to post from ;)

Yup, 44-pin laptop IDE connection (includes power as well). Doesn't really matter either way, that is the machine it is destined for, and that is as fast as it goes there.

Greg, I would test it on another system as well, might be a chipset issue.

Just received 6 140mm Cooler Master "Silent Fans", Scythe KazeServer fan controller, and 120vAC-to-Molex power brick. The fans are quieter than my existing system at their stock 12v and 1000RPM, moving an (advertised) 60CFM+. Very significant airflow. All but one are dead-silent at 390RPM and...

How to mount the radiator is another concern. This system will not be portable. I think I will mount the radiator under my workbench, and have a t-line reservoir running up the wall, so I can keep an eye on the water level. Radiator Dimensions: Width: 6.02" (153mm) Height: 23.82"...

I certainly went "price is no object" on this one, about $650 in parts. With this being my first project, I wanted some overkill. The parts should be in tomorrow with assembly over the weekend. Pictures, testing, and recommendations to come. ;)

I have run those coolers before, and they were very effective. They also take up even more slots of the motherboard. While the primary goal is being able to play with a watercooled rig, a secondary is to be able to run my Auzentech X-Fi, Z-Drive, 5870, Intel dual-GbE adapter, and a soon-to-be...

My guess would be that, since the compressor is less than 100% efficient, more energy would be consumed cooling the light back down than was consumed by the light itself. The low-heat nature of the LED makes even more sense that way.

Thanks for the move, I was in a hurry to get out on the boat (we didn't win). The power supply is an Antec CP-850, one of their larger power supplies with a 120mm fan. It is very quiet. My main reason to watercool is the 5870; it is the loudest thing I have and still crashes due to overheating...

Finally decided to make a move on this. I have the following parts coming from Danger Den: MC-TDX for Intel I7/Nehalem/1366 i7/1366/Nehalem Back Plate DD-5870 Water Block DD-CPX-Pro 12V Pump Black Ice GTX560 - Xtreme Fillport Reservoir 1/2" Clear UV Blue DD-TFC Tubing (30 ft) Feser One - UV...

It isn't heat restrictions for me, but size restrictions. CFL has allowed higher powered bulbs to run in fixtures, if they will fit. LED has the potential to get around this as well.

Never heard of that before, interesting.

We're coming from Office 2003, not 2007, and import of the older, less broken standard is significantly better. Either way: I can edit the document, view it with page breaks in print preview, clunky how? The stated intent of Google Docs was to do the 10% of MS Word that normal people actually...

It is now -300=999, it used to be -400=899.

I haven't done any model-specific research, but it isn't exactly an off brand. The 42" Sharp Aquos I'm typing on at the moment is excellent.

I'd love to run three of those for eyefinity. Maybe if the sale is still on in a few more days...

All 4 pages, no problem.

I am familiar with image stacking, but the most I've heard of is about 20 images. This has the potential to do a lot more. I'm tempted to experiment with that. What is your favorite astrophotography-like image stacking program?

A good thing, IMHO. FTTH should be as common as the gas, sewer, water, and electric lines running into a house. Of course, exactly how to bill for the service is another matter. Allowing multiple carriers onto the fiber network, and having competition would be one way, establishing strict rules...

I've never heard of this problem, so the question is, what are you doing wrong? Do you have a sample document?

Interesting tech from Microsoft.

Some good info, but Kyle really annoys me. If he were to actually write down a script, and do the voice over separately, he would do much better videos.

When the smoke detector tripped or the big red button was pressed, the alarm sounded and gave you some time before doors started to close automatically. When the doors were closed, the gas (not halon, something less bad for the environment but similar in performance) sprayed out the dispensers...

Happy with the subject, but not the quality.

Laptop or desktop?

Good observation Stereo. But XP workstations can still see shares that are >2TB, so it shouldn't impact too many people.

Sweet. That means I'll be able to backup the data store onto single drives again. That makes life much easier.

I didn't even notice there was a MIR; I'm blind to them these days.

If you go to his public profile, it shows "banned".

Antec 550W

Yes and yes. I haven't done it myself to this drive, but I've never heard it not being the case.

That is an excellent point.

Nope, built from scratch at great expense.

I'm still waffling between a 5DII and a 7D. No money to do either, really.

Of course? 'Family values' is an assumption. Assumptions weaken communication. Weak communication destroys all relationships.

It is also fun to trip over the stupid steel bell-shaped dispensers in the floor.

Sold! Placing the order now. Thank you everyone for your help.

I absolutely could. Good find.

Looks like. It is certainly a last resort, but I do see the reason.
