I like the new default theme too.

Sorry about my poor performance. Besides having fewer computers around, the electricity bill is getting to high.

Thanks for the information Handy.

I'm not surprised. Compaq is highly proprietary, with older hardware that doesn't upgrade well when going to a new OS. The problem is that there is no consistency. You could easily have one Compaq model upgrade without breaking a sweat, and another like Mercutio had. This quirkiness is not...

What operating systems was Kristi using with those Asus boards? As you probably know, I use Windows XP or Windows 2000. Both have proven flawless with the board. Just run through the OS install, stick in the Asus driver CD, and you're done. The board has been a fuss when one customer was...

I wouldn't say the onboard video is a problem (it certainly performs better then any other onboard video before its time), but I prefer the extra power of newer video cards on that board.

I've had good success with this chipset too. For the price, features and good performance, it is worth the money. My only caveat to this is that I'd rather run a separate video card then the onboard card. ATI 7000s and 9000s work well with this board.

Wow!

Wireless reception with all those Eucalyptus trees around is not very good.

Yes, plus they'll block port 80 (which you can work around).

Indeed!

It's not a Diablo, but you get the idea with the doors:

:D

Nope. There are companies that rent out exotic limos. Check in your area for someone like that. You can end up with a stretched Porsche.

Otherwise it will lock up tighter than a chastity belt!

What is wrong with Yanni?

Yes, I know. That is why I bought one. But once I found out how nice the case worked with regular ATX boards, I went ahead and bought another. :)

Addtronics W8500 cases have the motherboard turned around so you work from the other side of the case, which results in the heat leaving adapter cards correctly. The downside is that they are very large cases and a bit expensive.

Adcadet, this is what you need:

Diesel engine manufactures like Daimler (the largest in the world) have produced an electronic injection system for Diesel similar to electronic gas injection systems, except with the required psi for proper atomization. Nice thread.

Personally, there should never be the need for a fan to be placed on the Northbridge - as Mercutio points out, a quality heatsink should work very well. In addition (as I've lamented before) I wish fans could be abolished from higher-end graphics cards. Too many smalls fans result in too many...

That system should run nice Clocker. Those Radeon 7000s are pretty decent little video cards.

Thanks for all of your input regarding power supplies. After getting a replacement power supply, I find out that the customer's motherboard is bad too.

Isn't the $20 banknote the first to be released in this NexGen project next year?

For my part, that should've read: "They're actually going ahead with the $10 and $5 banknote update too?"

They're actually going ahead with the $10 and $5 change too. That was just under consideration previously. I was under the impression that the $2 and $1 notes were not included in the NexGen series.

Are the Fortron-based Sparkles the ones that start the part number with the letter "F"?

Thanks for the power supply input thus far. Supermicro would be nice, but I need to order these tomorrow and have them delivered overnight (without paying overnight shipping). How loud are the Sparkle sparklers? This system sits on top of my customers desk.

What is the most reliable power supply from Enlight, Sparkle, Vantec, or Nspire? I normally don't need to sell power supplies, but there is a sudden need for one that will support a P4 system, with a GeForce ti4600 video card, other PCI cards and ATA drives. The customer isn't too concerned...

I think this is a very useful idea, including the archiving of tools that some view as outdated. I've found that some older tools come in handy with older hardware, or even just to accomplish simple tasks. For example, older versions of Western Digital's EZ-Drive suite come in handy when...

I had good success with the PR200s too.

Which one?

Yes, Head Gimbal Assembly. I didn't think that the actual gimbal and flex arm made up the HGA, my bad. Hehe, great fun with those magnets. They almost tempt a dare - I dare you to remove that magnet. And then you watch that person squirm trying to pry that sucker off with their bare fingers.

We could always do it by operating systems, and make OS/2 the highest rank. Face it, if you've been around as long as that OS with its inherent capabilities, you deserve mention. We'll make Windows ME the entry level with the quote from iGary's signature: The Blue Screen of Love.

No, the flex arm that has the head attached to it and attaches to the actuator arm. Don't get me started on the magnets that move the head assembly - those are fun. :D

How about: "I am storage, hear me click!"

Yes, they do make dandy mirrors. What do you do with a bunch of flex arms?

You could also cross drill the platter, and insert the led through the hole in order to give the epoxy some extra support. We would also need a platter without any lubricant on it. Do you have some lying around Mickey? :)

I thought I was the only one allowed to do that?

Indeed.

I thought she was using the "S" key. I must have an optic nerve translating something incorrectly.

No, they don't. Their new Level 1 support will easily take care of RMAs, plus I think they have an option now in their phone tree to go directly to a RMA queue.

Yes, before you know it, he'll be in the top 100 class. GOOO CLIPPY!

If I were to sell a BB drive from WD, I would just tack on the extra $5.00 in the sale price and sell the drive with a 3-year warranty. However, as it stands, the WD drives I've sold recently are from the JB series, and most of the drives I've sold are from the Samsung SP series - no extra...

Resellers (signed up with SelectWD) get a special price at US$5.00.

Not that I expect it will cause a change of heart for WD drives, but as a reseller, you can upgrade a one-year warranty drive to three years for only a few US dollars. The downside is that WD drives are being sold at a premium price already, and adding a few more dollars can break the bank.

Oh my, I came out as Yoda. There must be something wrong. Thanks for the link Groltz.

I'll analyze some of it, such as the legacy tests and server performance. I'm not sure why they're behind in testing drives. It could be that Eugene is busy making decent money somewhere other then SR.

You shouldn't be, I've seen and sold plenty of WD drives in the past that are still in service.
