    Small ATX PSUs

    Interesting systems. Who makes the PSU or what does the label say on it?

    Small ATX PSUs

    Is this a PSU for Flex-ATX system or a ITX system? ITX systems only support VIA CPUs.

    Sorry for the delay NRG. The download was a success, and the review was great to listen to. There is no technical information mentioned about the exhaust system, except that it has the typical Ferrari sound 'that speaks for itself'. About the engine, he mentions that it is a 3.6-liter V-8...

    Nope, and I installed the DivX program. I still get an error message. Perhaps it is the fact that I'm using Windows Media Player. How about you give me a link to the page, and I download the avi file separately?

    Quick: what is a suitable video card for AutoCAD?

    This customer doesn't sound like a true CAD operator to me. Such little RAM and an onboard video controller? That is an overrated email system with a hyperactive CPU. If he was a true CAD professional he might consider a Wildcat III 6110 or 6210 from 3Dlabs. Either way, both of Jakes...

    Correct Correct, thus you expend the excess gas by starting the process of filling the chamber with the combustion mixture. They are partial airflow restrictions, but their design is unique. Remember, the design of an exhaust system is to expel and filter gas, plus to muffle noise, not to...

    NRG, Thrashing rental cars is a joy. I've taken some 4 wheel drive Jimmys offroad, and oh boy what fun! My diesel (1982) is running rich, so it smokes a bit more then usual, it also lowers my fuel economy a tad. But, the extra power when carrying four people up a steep hill on the freeway is...

    The feeling is fun, even when the speed isn't fast. My 300 Turbo Diesel easily revs to 3500-rpm (with lots of smoke) when it is warm. The turbo kicks in around 1800-rpm and then the fun begins! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    You were talking about older cars, so I thought I would throw that in. As far as newer diesels go, the performance is amazing with the common-rail system. Developing fuel pressure independently of the injection cycle and independently of engine speed and load is such a simple idea, I'm...

    Yes that is the order of peerage for England (it is slightly different for Scotland), then comes the knighthood, followed by decorations.

    By the way, isn't a Duke the highest order of peerage, and Baron the lowest? I think it is Duke, Marquess, Earl, Viscount, and Baron. Let me check.

    Indeed. Many muffler kits are for show and don't improve performance. The mechanic doesn't actually spend the time to calculate exhaust volume and thus doesn't know the appropriate diameter, length, and muffling for the system. As you pointed out, standard systems are normally quite...

    Very good Tea, it is an AC2200 which is in the same family as the AC280. That family spanned from a AC140 to a AC2700. The AC2200 spun at 3,652-rpm, had 64KB of cache, and a 14ms Read Seek Time. I think those things have been out of production since mid 1993.
