And not to beat you up or anything, but this would read: "However, I don't expect a fantastic review."

Actually, both are wrong in this case. The appropriate phrase would be: "...and I wonder if it is worth a small premium..."

Making the body unfit for living organisms is an odd tactic, that I can't reccomend :/

It brought me down all last week, my fever was pushing 104 for 3 days :( I was taking asprin constantly to minimize the fever, vicadin to sleep, and nyquil for the throat. The worst passed after 4 or 5 days, then I drank a bottle of whisky and chain-smoked for 5 hours. A day after that I felt...

Well, it can't be a normal mini-fridge...they don't have a high enough thermal capacity. I've tried many times. :eekers:

The words "budget" and "Intel" haven't gone together in a LONG time... And as a more recent development, the word "fast" hasn't been with that company in a while, either. If you (like me) never plan on upgrading components, rather anticipate replacing the entire system when the time comes...

Count me out :( I'm too busy reading all these threads :)

But that does require an OS capable of software RAID-5...which is either really expensive or *nix....

I'm waiting for the motherboard that ships with waterblocks... :mrgrn:

But it has to be an ISO file first? What's the best way to convert files to ISO automatically?

Pretty simple, really. I need to be able to burn a file created from ntbackup to a DVD-RW as part of a regular backup routine. As simple as possible and as free as possible in that order of priority. IIRC, honold mentioned there was one integrated into Server 2003 (which this machine is...

And coming is well under the price of a 3.06GHz Xeon (512K Cache) from the same source...Intel better get their butts in gear... :roll:

I'm running a Barton 2500 (11x166) @ 11x200=2200 @ stock voltage rock solid. My RAM is PC2700 with samsung chips.

AFAIK, changing the FSB is not locked, just the multiplier. At least it's been that way on 15+ Barton 2500s

166. Youve read this entire thread straight through and never stopped laughing or missed a reference Thanks guys, this made my night! ;)

Still 14 hours and 40 minutes to go here...and I need to attend a wedding in 10 hours....:(

I went though my imaginary sofa and came up with $420US...I'd send it to you but the post on 50lb. of change would be too much...

You need a RAID0 array in your camera.... :P

Every holiday season I'm bombarded with people wanting to buy a friend or relative a laptop. I was able to convince 50% of them otherwise this year. 1. Save 50% of the cost 2. Get 15-50% more speed (even this beast laptop doesn't have a raptor) 3. Upgradability 4. Better screen 5. 9,000,000%...

What about an active PFC, nearly silent 300W PSU for $55 from MikeC @ SPCR?[/url] I'm considering one myself....

Life must be so much more interesting in Aus...

RE: The camera/photo deal....are you thinking of a kiosk layout (self serve, foolproof, and indestructable) or something where an employee of the company would assist (camera with button near the mirrors, printer behind the counter)? Either can be done fairly easily, but have different...

Best of luck Pradeep ;) There's no way I'd get something that didn't have a DVI (or at least VGA) plug on it. Still not sold on RPTV beating a full-blown projection system. $2k will get you a nice system and a motorized screen.

So you and your wife now have 3 cars?

Yes

I'v found that every morining, I listen to the same 4 songs in the same order: 1. The White Stripes - Fell in Love with a Girl 2. Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil 3. Radiohead - Paranoid Android 4. James Taylor - Steamroller Does anyone else have this kind of routine?

Also very nice, has she been spotted in Texas, yet? And what on earth would she be doing in Houston, anyway. Austin would be more her style...

Checked it out, very nice.

Yeah, you mean C...It's been a while since I've got a CPU to operate @ 75F (486DX2-66MHz, cold to the touch while operating IIRC)

Nope, it was all that damn oxygen that happened to be around at the time. ;)

Great, thanks guys. The parent's not-quite-in-law just blew all their money on a 65" widescreen HDTV and have no cash for the rest of the components...

I've never even tried running a CPU that hot (intentionally). There were a few "fanless" situations where it was exceeded, but that was short-term. I might have to tone-down my fans even more just to see if they're still stable at my current voltage and clockspeed.

Must say I've never experienced these issues. But then again, I don't deal with DRM capable formats, anyway...

I know, it's not much of a budget, but it's not for me. I need a single unit DVD Player/Reciever/Amp and all the speakers. Ideally with component video out, but that is a bit of a strech I know. Last year I got my GF a Pioneer model, the HTD-330 or the HTD-510DV, I can't remember. It's ok...

Oh, and a tiny bit of fluid dynamics, based on the shape of the H2 cloud, the density of what it is passing through and the speed at which it is moving.

Wouldn't this be a simple function of the molecular density inside vs. outside? ANd be dependant on, well, just about everything? (temp, atmospheric pressure, density of the gasses, etc.)

It sounds like you need Windows XP :P Take any files you wish and drag them to the cd-rom drive, then choose "burn" from the file menu. That's it.

You realise, Tony, that Nero can make you wait an awful long time after burning @ 52x and still be faster than your 8x burner...

Great, thanks. I'll need to wait for my hands to stop shaking before I do the work. Stupid drugs...

Not really, 40C is 104F. Although that is my current body temp (flu), it's definatlyu in the "sick" range. I do my best to keep the ambient in my case within 2 degrees of room temp, and the CPU under 110 during Prime95. Though I'll probably be toning this down just a little, it seems I can't...

Bone-lover? No special tricks at all, SLK-900U with a 92mm Panaflo "h" series + Zalman Fanmate, and AS3. I suppose it could be a little quieter, but I can only hear it when I stand up. When seated at my desk it's inaudible.

Well, radio shacks selection dissapoints once again...it's McGyver time. I have 50 and 100 Ohm resistors (10 Watt). IIRC, 2 50s in parallel give you 25 ohm, correct? Can I stick these 2 50s on a 12V line leading to 3 of these fans? I don't think so, but I am a wishfull thinker on drugs...

Call me paranoid, but I don't like my CPUs passing 40C, even @ full load. My 2500+ @ 2.2Ghz is currently tooling along @ 99F :D

Dude, that is awesome! Thanks much.

not quite, but the design is incredibly close. The sides are too straight and there is no reinforcement on the ends. It will be interesting to see how well the ducting works.

I think that's good enough, I'll be reducing the number of fans as well (to 3 from 5) hopefully keeping it under 30dB total. This is a really simple server config, and shouldn't require all those fans in such a spacious and well-designed case (in an air conditioned server room). I'll be...

Thank you. I was a bit undecided at first, but I will include some HTML at the beginning of each page to describe what is happening in detail. I think keeping the page as simple as possible is the best way to go. Thanks again.

The Barton 2500+ is (IMHO) the "no duh" of computer processors. It's incredibly cheap, remarkably available, and virtually guaranteed to be stable @ 11x200 (3200+ speed). I've used about 8 of them now, and they've all hit that no problem. It's to the point where when someone buys something else...

Yes, I made sure beforehand that it would be mounted in their server room (full of 50+ servers) and they insist that mine stands out as the loudest. I think they're just trying to get back at me for barging in (they have an IS department, and outsourced this project to me anyway). The (single)...

Thanks, I'll give that a shot :D
