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.

I can step in and confirm DVI + TV.

Yes Time, that looks like it would do it. But I have to admit, I've had nothing but problems with all the appliance routers I've used. They seem to all need a reset every few months or to have their values re-entered to ot have the VPN reset. I'm really sold on the smoothwall way of doing...

WinSCP - Brilliant. That made it so easy. It's up, running, and so powerfull I can't believe it.

Kind of. This is a network that includes 5 locations. 3 of them have T-1s one is DSL, one is Cable, and the last has 2 ISDN lines. I'm using the VPN capabilities and they are fantastic. Considering that Fry's is selling new computers with a XP Pro licence for $300, I turn them into smoothwalls...

I have to agree that it's simply amazing how much more a person thinks they're getting when you cut back on the PC and upgrate the I/O equipment. I recently built a system for a home user and cut the CPU, RAM, HDD, and video way back to upgrade from a 17" CRT monitor to a 20" LCD and from the...

Wow. So I was told that the Total Firewall Control mod would do what I need. I've downloaded the .tgz file, installed cygwin with ssh and sftp, and even managed to connect to the smoothwall via ssh and sftp. Now all I need to do is transfer the file to the /tmp folder on the smoothie...how do I...

Seconded. Supermicro? ECC? What on earth for?

I have a copy of ghost 2002 that works well from CD. I don't know if that was the last one or not. I now have a copy of Acronis Trueimage coming in the mail.

At the time they only had the square one, so whichever that is. They're also using the original Zalman "flower" heatsinks and 2500+ Barton cores. A very reliable setup.

It had been laying on it's largest side, but it's smart temp was getting a little high. The options were either to get a fan, connect it, and aim it towards the drive; or increase it's exposed surface area. To be honest the entire system was without case; the MB, PSU, and HDDs all sitting on...

I have at least a dozen NF7-S boards out there with Zalman passive NB coolers on them. I made the swap before the board was every even powered on. These systems have been in the field at least 2 years (many as servers 24/7) and not had a single issue.

Nope, don't even have the game installed anymore. Everyone is playing COD:UO, LOtR:BFME,and WOW. Every once in a while a game of CNCG:ZH or Desert Combat...that's about it.

I woke up last night to a most disquieting sound; I instantly knew what it was. A new 7200.8 400GB SATA drive had just fallen from it's second-largest side to it's largest side while doing a full drive copy. As I lay there in the dark I strained to hear the sound of the motor - nothing. It had...

I'm running smoothwall express 2.0 at a client site and need to block all outgoing traffic on port 25 EXCEPT that coming from a specific internal IP (our mail server). Someone somewhere has a virus and I keep ending up on the CBL. Thanks.

Yes, it ended fairly well. I gave up on them and started looking after myself; a much easier thing to do. They finally show up around 7AM with some most questionable women and I'm long since sleeping in another room and in much better shape for golf at the Legacy the following day.

Frustration reigns. On the drive here all the guys could talk about was getting laid. When they showed no signs of leaving the blackjack table I , in a massive breach of character and severe nervousnes, went to the top club in the area (curve) and managed to secure 6 women for the night and...

I doubled my money at the tables but struck out at the bars...predictable. We'll see how tomorrow goes. We have a 2000+ sq. ft. suite overlooking the strip, would be a shame to waste this view on just me. Wasted....ttyl.

I've not been doing so well lately; perhaps a trip to Las Vegas, NV will turn my head around. Leaving tomorrow morning at 9AM, driving a Porsche Cayenne Turbo the 7 hours it'll take. Funny, I just had my last arrest warrant cleared 2 days ago...it was from a Vegas trip in 2000... See ya'll in...

At one point early in my IT life a company I supported used roaming profiles for users who worked both from their workstation and via our terminal server. The points I remember are: 1. Size. They got so big (including PST files or documents) that transferring them over our VPN was a nightmare...

Things aren't going well for me lately, I'll be back later.

$200 plus shipping work for you?

I got the Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 and 2x1024 of Geil (the "dual channel" kit). I'm using a Scythe NCU-2000 completely fanless in open air and it's running 15C above ambient at 2.1Ghz. However, one of the temp sensors (I think the NB) is at 70C with a Nexus 120@12v blowing right on it. Any guesses on...

I'm putting a Gigabyte 6800 fanless on the market starting now... Newegg is selling it for $264 yours for $200 plus shipping. Believe me, this will go a long way towards a gaming machine ;)

Well I just upgraded to an nForce4 and a 3200+ Winchester with 2GB of Geil PC3200...we'll see what kind of O/Cing I can get out of it. The only bummer is that my Gigabyte 6800 Faness AGP card is now for sale cheap...any takers? I would be most interestred in an exchange for a PCIe card if...

The things I want to discuss here are all realted to DVD encoding. 1. Settings I've found that using AutoGK to encode to Xvid with a final size of 2GB gives video quality indistinguishable from the original, does anyone have an opinion on this? Here are the settings I use: Xvid Codec AC3 6CH...

Close enough, I read right past it.

That's the one. Maybe I'll give it a second chance. But it was darn slow with the ADS enclosure I was using.

I had a bad experience with the Linksys model, it would only read my USB drives at USB1.0, but this looks quite promising.

Interesting. The ATI solution looks quite nice. Can someone tell me exactly what else I would need to fulfil the DVD decoder req. for MCE2005?

I'm encountered this as well, what a mess. I wonder if the Omega Driver has these glitches worked out.

nice.
