Pretty clean job but you probably should start planning your next mod: adding a fan or two. Need to make up for the loss of ventilation.

So I have that same gateway and have been inside it a few times. Heres a few tips: If you take off the hsf be careful the tiny screws they used to hold it on are pretty soft and on mine at least they used a threadlocker on them. I have one screw that started to strip out when I tried to get...

So I did the same I stopped in and played with a pre for about 20 minutes. And actually I don't think the keyboard is that bad. I have the ultimate sausage fingers (ring finger is size 14) and after about 5 minutes I was able to type on the pre with very few mistakes. Its definitely a different...

I read the white paper it actually states that all the client data is not stored in ram. "Neither the client nor the chunkserver caches file data. Client caches offer little benefit because most applications stream through huge files or have working sets too large to be cached. Not having...

Logitech makes one but you'd have to be sure that your phone supports a keyboard bluetooth profile. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3848&cl=us,en

Im running a 965 and (for now) 6gb of ram and I am soo impressed with this machine. I mainly use it for photoshop and lightroom and it is so fast its not even funny.

I was doing the opposite, I had an imac at home for photo work and a few other things but my laptop was a pc for mobile gaming.. not much of a laptop though more of a desktop replacement.

Well heat dosn't directly relate to the number of transistors or the process size. The design of the transistors and how fast they are switching has a lot more to do with it. CSI takes more power to run the fsb did which is one contribution. Also the additional circuitry for ht adds some. But...

The sonly p also has a 1.3 atom at least the "lower end" models do.

I have to go with the gateway mentioned earlier, I have one of those also and for the 1050 I paid for it it was the best value for the money for gaming. It is huge for a laptop but it is a fantastic machine. I have the previous revision and I replaced the 1.8 ghz cpu with a 2.5 penryn for 300 so...

At least at my school almost all the computer science classes were built around unix or linux environments and used tools like GCC. if yours is the same that makes os x better then windows as it has a native GCC compiler. But as was mentioned, Macs can run other os's either through bootcamp or...

Also if you leave your rig on all the time, the laptop at idle will consume way less then the desktop under most conditions. The laptops have much better power management capabilities then the desktops.

To be honest considering how much hardware you have swapped out that really sounds like a marginal power supply to me. Power supply issues can manifest in all sorts of ways. But it causes weird system issues when things are drawing more power like formatting a drive or doing rendering.

Basicly what they are getting at is you can't just buy pc parts and load osx on it. That is what hackintosh referes to and is disallowed here because it violates the eula for osx. So to get a mac you pretty much have to buy a mac. Now if you want to have some hands on experiance with it, the...

Guys Nehalem isnt released yet so I think a few weeks from now is probably out of the question. Probably macworld.
