So I've been playing with my day-old newest rig and have discovered that the venice-core A64 underclocking like a mofo. This example is a 3500+, whose maximum multiplier is 11 and FSB is 200Mhz (therefore 2.2Ghz CPU) I've been playing with CrystalCPUID to see what the processor can do and have...

I really like the new version of housecall. It does a great job on spyware and adware as well as the normal virus. On top of that it's got all the stuff I like in a utility application. a) No TSR b) No install, runs directly from the source c) free can't really knock that.

hehe, I forgot about that!

I used a P160 for nearly a year until I modded it too much to stay in one piece. I'm currently waiting for the P180, and tried using a 2700-BQE in the meantime, but it's too noisy. I currently have all my components just sitting out on the workbench until the P180 arrives.

Re: quiet computing. The best quiet HSF combo is a Scythe NCU-2005 with a Nexus 120mm controlled by either a Zalman Fanmate2 (cheap and manual) or a nCubed T-balancer (expensive and automatic). This has been the configuration of my last 3 systems, all of which are "silent" at 1m distance.

Yeah, that pack of smokes is most interesting. Seriously though, I'm interested in removing the fan and ducting it to an exhaust fan in the case. It has significant quiet computing capability.

149GB is the correct size for this drive. You are using the entire drive.

That is positively hilarious.

Here. Thanks.

I'm building some smoothwall machines for a client way out in the boonies. The fastest connection we can get out there is ISDN. I'm using smoothwalls as they are easy to tie into our current VPN solution. However, it appears that the smoothwall only directly supports PCI ISDN cards (not external...

Bah, wrong forum.....please post replies to the one in the Computers Section....

A client has a desktop and a laptop. He also has an exchange server in his office and 5-10 POP3 accounts. He wants to sync all the accounts with both machines seamlessly...help?

I guess it makes sense if you're comparing 147GB drives...

I can't reccomend any fanless PSUs because NONE of them are actually fanless. Seriously, every one of them will only run reliably if you have a case fan providing significant airflow nearby - therefore making the "fanless" claim a bit weak. I'm really liking my new Seasonic S12-430W, it's...

That does look like a very nice soundcard. How much are 50' toslink cables these days?

:o I just re-read my post; I apologise for the countless typos.

LCDs have a native resolution where the number of actual pixels is the same as the number of pixels trying to be represented. As CRTs don't have actual pixels, they represent all resolutions within their range equally. All LCDs I've used can operate in nearly any resolution by using different...

I just fired all my employees at the game center. Now there is just my manager and myself. I've put him on salary and have changed the hours so I only work 2 shifts a week with him taking the rest. Should be interesting.

I run Dell Poweconnects at the game center. All GbE clients, lots of traffic, performs very well. I've never had to even reboot the things.

$9.50 is the norm here, $10.50 is the going rate in SF. The price is still low enough to not be an issue for most viewers, I don't know why they didn't charge double fir the first week.

I can't blame them. They specifically state that the warranty is void if the drive is subjected to 300G+. I wouldn't be suprised if it was close to that considering the surface was granite.

OLED > Modern LCD > CRT > Old LCD for my purposes anyway...

I doubt good days outnumber bad in most people's lives. Fortunatly, it's part of human physiology for us to remember good times and forget unpleasant ones...otherwise we'd all be depressed all the time.

Nevermind...answered my own question.

Haven't seen you around in a long time...who died exactly?

I have zero expectation, but even if I was sure it was terrible, I'd still go to see it. I saw the first 5 and am interested in how things go.

It's too warm here. I moved my workbench out to the deck so I could watch the sailboats while I worked, but now the patch of fluffy cloud that had provided shade has blown by, and now I'm subjected to the 73F (23C) temperature directly...I think I'll go get a hat. :P

My sentiments exactly.

I was, but I gave my tickets to some kids who had missed out; made their day. I'll see it in a week or so.

Obviously it was redundant, or the connection would have been completely down. It just appears to me like their backup didn't have the capacity to be transparent.

Actually, until I get a larger case and the version of my motherboard with 8 SATA connectors insteat of the current 4. I have some 74GB raptors sitting on my workbench that might be quiet enough if suspended.

I'll second all that. I'm running on a 191T+ right now an it's a great screen.

Merc, Do you have any pics of your cat trying to bite the camera? That has potential. Somewhere around here I have a color copy of my old cat's nose. It was sniffing around the HP multifunction and pressed the "color copy" button. Once the night started to move, it began to sniff then...

I have never before done any kind of charity work or even really believed in any of the purposes they claim to represent. However tonight I was the moment of truth for something I've been working on for several months; a casino night fundraiser for the relay for life. We earned about...

Wierd....whatever. As much as I would love to post said pics, they would 1-violate the terms I agreed to when registering for the forums and 2-violate some crazy internall devotion I still have for her...whatever. pui

No, I was quite pleased that the girls were in my bed. But then it was time for them to leave If one or two had decided to stay, I would have been very content. However the ones I had in mind were the designated drivers, and the bed simply wasn't big enough for us all to sleep there. I had a...

I'm going to be trying something similar. I'll be modifying the Zalman Heatpipe coolers so that some of the heatpipes go straight vertically through all of the hard drives, with the rest going in different directions so that the drives can be closer together. Then I'll be suspending the entire...

Just "had a few people over". I thought: "OK, thats fine, I have some work to do" It's now 2AM. "Some people" involved nearly a dozen girls and almost 40 beers (pacifico and pilsner urquel). My god...I had an entire girls dorm in my bed at the same time. None that I could have a coversation...

A very unimposing and pretty small case. BQE stands for "Black Quiet Edition". I'll likely replace it with something else (The P180 is first on the list) later on, but until then, this was $60 :shrug:

I boot from a 30GB partiton on one of the drives. These things are fast enough for me ;)

My digital camera hasn't worked for nearly a year. In any case, I don't have all the guts in a case yet. I will be recieveing Antec's latest BQE in the next few days. At that point I'll try to get a comera and put something together.

It makes me happy, and the fact that is was a virtually free upgrade makes it even sweeter: A64 3500+ Venice Core (2.4Ghz @ 1.2V) Scythe NCU-2005 Gigabyte nForce4 MB 4GB Geil PC3200 Gigabyte Fanless x800 PCIe 4x Suspended 400GB Seagate SATA in Zalman Heatpipe coolers 3x BenQ 1620 DVD-RW 2x...

Nicely equipped; but a bit heavy for my taste...

I believe you when you say that this device works...but I guess I'll never have the pleasure as long as I live in the US.

"good appliance" I completely agree thaty if such a thing existed there would be a million reasons why it's superior to a smoothie. Re: Proxies - proxies work even when not using the browser; product and windows updates as well as software downloads work brilliantly if it's configured correctly.
