Replaceable NAND modules?

I'll second the liveCD/DVD suggestion.

Say it with me SandForce!

That all depends what you're trying to do. If you want to minimize transferred vibrations, maybe. If you want to minimize resonance of the bottom of the unit, no.

That definitely sounds like a resonance issue. I'd try out some of the suggestions I've already made to reduce the resonance of the enclosure. A quick test would be to push on various flat panels while it's running and see if you can change the characteristic of the noisy by effecting the...

After looking at the pictures I have a few more thoughts. I wouldn't waste any time on Mass Loaded Vinyl. It's basically worthless. Soundproofing is achieved my making things airtight, adding mass, and preventing resonance. MLV is not very good at any of those three. My first suggestion...

Unfortunately, your link doesn't work... So basically, you have one of these outside and it's too noisy? What is it sitting on? Is it sitting on a concrete slab? If so, what else is the slab touching other than dirt? Basically you need to figure out the source of the noise. Is the...

I'm not an OCZ fan. They will try to screw you on the rebates every time. I've used a lot of G.Skill memory without any issue. I think I had to RMA one set of sticks that failed after a year or two of use and that was pretty painless and quick.

The room has / will have all sorts of design considerations for sound isolation purposes. That why I have the stagger stud wall, why the perimeter walls are not attached to the concrete walls, and the two 2x4 walls with the 1" gap between them that the doors go in. There will be two flush...

It's for sound isolation purposes. It is attached, but not directly. It uses PAC RSIC-DC04 clips to attach the walls top plate to the joists overhead. That way vibrations (ie: sound) are not passed into the floor overhead.

I just did what was shown here. I do see that this site shows it done as you're suggesting. I don't think it makes a big difference though.

What do you mean? The walls are not structural. The gap between them and the floor joists overhead is intentional.

I'm planning to get a Middle Atlantic 19" rack to house my HT gear, but I don't have one yet. I'm thinking of a Slim 5 Series. I'm not sure whether I'll go with the 29U, 37U, or 43U though.

The house was built in 2007 when my wife and I bought it. It's pretty clean, but it's not all that square. The concrete walls in the basement are neither straight nor plumb. My walls should be both square and plumb. BTW: There's no rack in any of those pictures. :poke:

Here's how I've been spending my time:

It's Sandforce, not stormforce. :poke:

I bet I can beat that easily. I turned a 102MB BMP into a 102KB zip file. As a RAR it was 7.27KB. The PNG was 119KB. :bomb:

RDU? :poke:

Must have been a small side by side, or really large pizzas. :confused:

Bring your tape measure with you when you go shopping and be sure to measure up the french door bottom freezer. I'm telling you they're awful! :arge:

I'll tell you something. French Door refrigerators suck! My wife and I both bought into the hype and bought a GE Profile one for our house ~ 3 years ago. We'd both swap the thing for a side by side in a heartbeat. The ergonomic of the freezer is a pile of crap. Between the main pull out...

Cry me a river sissy boy! :cry:

Drill holes in it and through the platters.

I saw it before, but didn't think it was worth the price.

C'mon you're supposed to post a picture of your bride coming down the aisle from your Evo 4G. Duh...

I don't think he'll beat your record. Just a guess. ;)

I bought the high speed cards for my Rebel XSi before I got the S90. To be completely candid, I have yet to shoot a single frame of RAW on the S90. :cry: I don't know if they make any difference. I bought them with rebate deals so they weren't rally any more expensive than any other Class 6...

The one on the top of the camera is though. :nono:

It's a 7-segment display (not element) on the top of the camera, and you need a 14 segment to show letters.

In my case it's depended on the job. Two jobs were small offices where it was no problem. One was for a huge company with thousands of people and the packages would have never found their way to me.

It must help to have an attractive secretary who the UPS guy wants to give his cell phone number to. :thumbright:

I have several 4GB and 8GB Extreme III SDHC cards. Also have a few high speed 4GB Lexar SDHC cards.

Good question. I'm curious about the United States Pharmacopeia myself.

I think he meant to say "Reference Picture Quality Blu-Ray's" or something similar, but I could be wrong.

What are you doing with Hydrogen?

So does my Rebel XSi, no skin off my back there. :razz:

Yep, I've got two bulged caps inside. I'm trying to decide if I would rather replace the caps myself or go with the hassle of an RMA.

My GS108 is now showing the same behavior. It has the flash of death with nothing plugged into it. The power supply measures a constant 12.86V and I tried a 2nd power supply with the same results. Mine is about 40 months old. According to Netgear's page, "Lifetime warranty for product...

The S90 is down to $299 at the egg with promo code EMCYVZP77.

Every so often these drop down to $40. They're a rebranded Ultimate Ears SuperFi 3 Studio. Keep in mind they are in ear monitors and will block out ambient noise (which can be a problem depending on what you want to use them for).

No, but the image on the screen is rotated relative to the orientation of the video output signal. That rotation has to occur somewhere. Rotating an image means means at some point your reading data from memory the "wrong way".

CPUs all have thermal throttling / thermal protection built in, so as long as the case is reasonably well ventilated I wouldn't worry about it. You can use something like CoreTemp or RealTemp to monitor the thermal sensors on the die if you're really worried about it.

Probably a lot more. :sunny:

No idea here. I've never used Windows Offline Files.

Yeah, I still like it. I'm please with the picture quality. If I'm looking to shoot more seriously I use my Rebel XSi, but where I want something pocket-able it fits the bill.

No, Memory typically will put several bytes or words worth of data on the bus while only requiring one address setup operation. Typically this means you store sequential horizontal pixel data in order. So when you want to read it you get high bandwidth with minimal setup operations. However...

You can always tune the colors and brightness down. The TV makers have done marketing research that shows people favor the brighter TV with more vibrant colors over one that's set correctly when comparing in store, and as such they're in torch mode with the saturation cranked when they're on...

Has anyone ever benchmarked the performance hit the graphic card takes when driving a monitor that's rotated 90 degrees? There would have to be some major black magic going on for there not to be a measurable drop since it requires reading data out of the memory in an unoptimized manner.

This has to be some sort of record for the most personal information ever from you in a single post. You've narrowed yourself down to a geographic region. :p I sure do have some good plans. :sunny: My Dad has a large pile of 2x4's in his basement for a darkroom he was going to build but never...

You didn't light the cloth from underneath did you? :skepo: For what it's worth, I've found the trick to good high key shots is to blow the background out with light when the shot is taken, not attempting to make it white in PS after. When you brighten the image you enlarge and cook the true...
