Sorry if I was misleading, the 120mm fan PS is not from Antec, nor is it 550W. But it is pretty darn quiet.

The functions I'd want are as follows: Mapping GPS (including 3-D terrain mapping features using USGS Data) DVD/DIVX playback using car stereo for audio 40+GB of MP3s (with Winamp 5's media library for management) Web/E-mail access via open WiFi and/or cell phone integration. Engine Management...

I drive about 10mi a week on washboard roads, to/from client sites out in the middle of nowhere. My Golf handles them quite well, the ride smoothes out at around 45mph. And I get about 40mpg on our "puny" US gallons :P

Although they look cool, I can only imagine what kind of forces these are putting on the motherboard when stood on end and shaken (moved). I'm picturing a backing-plate sized hone and the whole deal on the floor of the chasis. I do like the design, though.

The trick about the 10-key that I linked to was that it included some additional buttons that make things easier.

This monitor is already touch-screen ;) IIRC, 7" wide is about right...I'll take exact measurements again when I find myself in a car with a measuring tape. My ideal was not to have one that motored in and out, but rather that was fixed in the dash.

Well, these systems will be very well taken care of. And they are far from the dusty floor, I'm bolting them to the wall above the 22" CRT monitor. There is a window in the case that shows off the goodies, and the CCFLs will light it up nice. Considering that there will be one of these machines...

I am still a fan of the Antec PSes, though I recently ordered of of those nifty "silent" ones with the single 120mm fan... I would be inclined to set up Motherboard Monitor 5 to log your voltages (High/Low) at a very high update rate, possibly also the interval log, just to see what's going on...

Except in this case it's showing off an Athon64, a Raptor, and a 9800Pro. Rice? Yes. But powerfull rice ;)

Ahh...home at last ;) Re: Software. I've always used Windows XP, though I'm sure a Linux-guru could make something better. Running at a really low resolution and with limited input device (10-key only) is not something windows does very well. The most basic system I've built had no screen and...

Some people have voiced interest in this topic, and I've dabbled some with it, so I figured I'd start a gathering place for information/discussion. I've used the following hardware with much success: VIA EPIA-M motherboards (both the M10000 (1Ghz) and the 600Mhz fanless) 512MB RAM Assorted HDD...

Well, considering I'm not a Linux guy, I'm glad that smoothwall (and it's dead-easy interface) can do it.

No idea, but it does say it supports PATA and SATA (w/RAID)

Mini-ITX has been my friend for quite a while. I've built a few HTPCs out of them, and quite a few car-PCs. But this raises the bar again... http://www.nanode.com All I can say is...Damn. I could have a cluster of these in the exposed 5.25" drive bays of my current chassis :o

Thanks for the help guys, but I answered my own stupid question.... Smoothwall, go into the networking->port forwarding portion, and enter the external address instead of the internal one. Just tested it, works great.

I'm afraid that program has been removed from their main site, and the download is broken.

Yes, this is exactly what I am looking for! Help?

Exactly what I'm trying to avoid. :( So there is no way to simply redirect the traffic?

A friend had no credit, so he went out and got a credit card and a merchant account (for processing credit card orders). He then continued to "buy" things from himself, to the max of the card on a regular basis, and then use the money in his merchant account to pay off the card. It did cost him...

I'm afraid it needs to be all ports, or at least HTTP and SMTP. I can't affford to be down for a day, and building/maintaining 2 exchange servers is a real PITA. Especially when you need to migrate the data :x

Handruin, I'm afraid not, that is for forwarding traffic though a computer (between NICs) to machines on the other side. These IPs are both out on the internet. Let me try to clarify: I currently have my webserver at IP address 65.254.452.12 on a DSL line in Salinas, CA. I am having a T-1...

In the US it is a very strange system, I think made intentionally more confusing to prevent the consumer from understanding how much they are being screwed. Bad credit - Very easy to achieve, prevents upright financial institutions from working with you, doesn't stop cards/loans with intrest...

I'm sure this is a common situation... I currently have several servers at my current office, many DNS records are pointed to the IP address here. I will be moving all the servers to a new location whose IP is known. In order to avoid downtime while DNS switching/replicating is done, I'd like...

Good to know, thanks ;) I'm really fuzzy on beliefs in this area, so I find it hard to get into (for the reasons mentioned above). I don't want to derail this thread, so when I have more time tonight I'll start another one on this topic and see what I can do to sound insensative, callous, and...

The issue that I've been dealing with is that weaking fully-polarized glasses while looking at a LCD screen will not only change the colors, but make it completely black. With one of my 191Ts rotated 90-degrees CW, it appears to be off when wearing my glasses, and the one to the left of it (not...

Indeed JoJo man, enjoy all those milestones, there's plenty more where they came from ;)

flagreen, Sorry if my post seemed to be directed at you, or implied that your arguments wern't thought out or defended well, this was not my intention. I meerly meant to say that when I post on topics, I do feel a burden of sorts that prevents me from posting on issues. It's not the concern of...

I'll reccomend the Steak, Valium, and a Blowjob while making your 1000th post...... ...hey, sounds like a good time to me :eekers:

A good point, my K8 motherboard (MSI K8T Neo - awesome board) still has 2x PS/2, 1x Serial, and 1x Parallel. I can understand about the floppy, as it's required to load the 3rd party storage controller driver (I've ranted about this in the past). But at least they have 4x USB on the back and...

Well, my opinion tends to piss off everyone anyway. It's not that I don't feel free to post my opinion, but I certainly do brace for the responses. Therefore I do only post on issues that I am ready to argue and defend. My issue is that I'm as against banning assault rifles as I am against...

Alright, here is my best shot ;) CCFL (cold cathode florecent light) tubes require AC power to operate. Inside your PC, there is only DC available to it. Therefore, when you buy a CCFL tube, you also recieve a little box, that converts the DC to AC to power the light. It states in the...

Yes. I love the fact that the calculator came up with 42....I love it.

So here I am, putting together my new Athlon64 system (the prototype for my new gaming center). Everything goes together very quickly, and I'm installing Windows XP within an hour. Just about the time it boots to the desktop for the first time, I start to smell smoke. Lesson of the story: Even...

Of note: I'm not yet worthy of the title "homeowner" as I'm currently renting. Though I am is negotiations with the owner to buy within the year. The reason she is holding out is that the house has increased in value ~30% in the last 10 years.This is the same reason I'm trying to buy now (even...

But you're in Illinois (sp?), so the price difference is kind understandable.

The lot size is a little larger than that, I'm on the corner.

It's an alright place. 4 bedroom, 3 bath, 2.5 floors, ~3200 sq/ft. "New" at less than 10 years old. (I don't really consider something new unless I'm the first to use it). It's just a track home in suburban hell....

You mean like this one? I use them all the time. Love 'em. The drive does just slide back on the rails and click into place.

er....sorry that post was made days ago, several life-determining decisions have been made since then. And as you are in Texas...your death penalty will be carried out...now (bang).... :P

Make them near-silent and SCSI will have finally converted me :o

Sitting at home in a $1.2M house, drinking very nice wine, from very nice crystal....ALONE. Some things in life are highly overrated, some are highly underrated. Currently, life sucks. :(

I can imagine, a friend of mine went though something similar. The main reason I ask is that I plan on ordering something from this company. Was the business end of the deal satisfactory?

The business is open 10 hours a day, plus anyone walking by too close to the windows/looking in will trigger it. I'm estimating the cameras running about 50% of the time (worst case) and I'd like 2 weeks worth of video to fit on a DVD. 60*12*14=10,080 minutes The capacity of a current DVD is...

Well, we'll be keeping a week's worth at this higher resolution, so we can lower the quality for keeping the video longer term. What type of quality could I expect for ~768KBps? I'd prefer to half the frame rate rather than lose frame quality. I'll check out CirtualDub and DubMan, thanks for...

I have 2 surveilence cameras, D-Link DCS-1000Ws, they work great. I'm able to capture 640x480x24-bit@30fps only when there is motion in the frame. Perfect. It stores these in "MS-MPEG4 V3" format...about 1.2MB/min. One file per "incident". Is there a way to process these into a more efficent...

Merc, How did this work, BTW?

It's time for motherboards to ship with more than 2 SATA ports. Either a SiL3114 or a 3112a and 3112r....For years it's been easy to add 4 IDE devices, we'll need to keep that in the all-SATA world as well.

errg....I can't figure out the command for pscp. Actually, I don't think I'm that stupid....I don't think the root login is letting me access for FTP transfers anyway. ..or is that more stupid? What username do I have to use to connect for FTP transfers?
