    Quiet power supply recommendations

    The Enermax PSU I presently have in my workstation runs quite well. The voltages are consistent and within tolerance. The double-fan combination in the PSU allows for excellent ventilation of the case without much noise. I prefer absolute silence when I sleep (thus my present plan to...

    Ancient History: Microsoft and UNIX

    Interesting history. It is funny how you could be around in 1985 and not even have heard of Xenix. My computer world started with an Apple IIe in 1983 and moved to a Macintosh Plus in 1985/86. I was strictly a Mac user until 1994, when I bought my first PC, a Leading Edge 486/66. What a...

    Bloody Western Digital secrecy .... again

    Tannin, there were three generations of the IBM-WD collaboration, most of which bore the Expert badge and spun at 7,200 rpm. Family #1 - no Expert Badge, but the most obvious as an IBM drive AC514400 - 7,200 rpm - small test run for 7,200 rpm WD drives AC516800 - 5,400 rpm - small test run to...

    Mozilla 0.9.8

    I just updated to Mozilla 0.9.9 and switched the GUI to "modern" (which is the look I prefer, although Netscapes version in blue is more becoming) and things seem to be ok. I had a small glitch with 0.9.8 today. Whenever I would minimize the Mozilla window onto the task bar, it just pop right...

    Mozilla 0.9.8

    Presently, I've had to pick IE to be honest. But I just changed two of my systems over to Mozilla, and I will see how it holds up as my primary browser. BR

    Mozilla 0.9.8

    I'm impressed at how well Mozilla 0.9.8 runs under Windows2000 and WindowsXP. It runs quite a bit quicker then Netscape6 (although I like the GUI best), but not as fast as IE6. Which browser do you use Most? The poll doesn't specify release versions, but you can still let us know. BR

    New front page

    I suspect that Mozilla is showing the correct color that it understands to show. The FONT tag uses the color 000099 which Mozilla understands as being a dark-blue (I tried that same tag string on my website), however, there must be some other syntax nullifying this value, perhaps one of the CSS...

    New look: opinions please

    Keep the different color schemes for each category and use the same typestyle for each of those categories, except for the Golden Oldies. In the Golden Oldies section, create a look where the typestyle and color scheme match some type of nostalgic theme. Thanks for the compliment, but my site...

    New look: opinions please

    You can with the CSS CLASS tag. Define a .roman and .modern Class, then you'll be able to use that in conjunction with other tags, such as <FONT> or . You seem to be doing very well with the whole CSS idea, if you need some samples, I'll be happy to send you a couple. BR

    Got a New Car....A Little Stoked

    Congratulations Clocker, I’m happy that you got such a nice car and such a good price. By the way, we do not all drive Porsches; some of us drive old Turbo Diesel vehicles. Getting a timing chain was a good idea, but don’t be fooled, they do require adjustment. The chain, even a double-chain...

    New look: opinions please

    Tannin, you've been a busy man. I like the change in typestyle, it makes the site look much cleaner, and easier to read. The idea of removing the borders from your tables is not bad either, although I think it will work either way. Perhaps, using a border color that is only modestly different...

    Looking for HD and CD-RW

    Mercutio, just for clarification, which WD400BB are you talking about, the one used in SR's original review in September 2000, or the WD400BB from their latest family (based off of the WD1200BB family)? BR

    How quiet is your computer?

    Pradeep and Cougtek, you shouldn't need that much cooling power. On Athlong XP 1600+ and MP 1600+ systems, I use some fan/heatsink combinations that are quiet and cool enough. No, they're not unbelievably cool, but they survive 96 hours of RC5 without a problem. Usually, the don't get past...

    Handruin, Is the login time started when you login? I've dealt with some software that doesn't count time until your login becomes idle. I suppose, this is not an option, otherwise you would have mentioned it. BR

    Opinions wanted about NIKAO Noblesse enclosure.

    When you have a full length card with 4 or 8 EIDE cables hanging from it the opposing end of the card will sag almost a quarter of an inch. I don't care much to have that kind of flexing take place on my card. If it were a desktop application, it wouldn't really matter, it's just that in a...

    Opinions wanted about NIKAO Noblesse enclosure.

    If I'm seeing this case correctly, there is no slot to hold the opposing end of a full-length adapter card. I know it sounds odd, but my 3ware card is full length. BR
