Yea, that's what prompted the geotherm idea. Alternately, I could duct a 3x rad out my window or something. Yea, I've heard the Thermos are the best of the radiators, but how do they compare to heatercores (specifically the DTek offerings)? I haven't been able to find any reviews on the DTeks...

Wow, first post in a loooong time. Anyways, on with the story. I just built my new rig, an e6600, a 8800 GTX from evga, 2 gigs of RAM, stuck in a Bad Axe 2, and stuffed it all inside a Lian Li PC-A16b. It is blazing quick, sadly, it's also blazingly hot. It's getting to be summer, and this...

If you're referring to the thread in the main VG forum, the OP mistyped. He meant to say the 2900xt is half as much as an Ultra, not a GTX.

The last time this topic was floating around, I took the bait, and modded a 12,000 mcd white LED from LSDiodes into it. However many months later, it's still alive, and kicking.

I've seen several combination USB cables and battery chargers for the PSP, and instead of just paying the $7 for one, I figure I could make one as a simple little project. Am I completely insane? Any tips, tricks, or hints? All I need is are two USB ends, a power plug, and a bit of wire...

Hmm, anyone else noticed that while there's a PC case shown, there's a laptop on the desk?

I got DScaler to work, but there's just a tiny bit of lag. I'm now using AMCap and it works nicely with my PS2 and GT4. What are your settings in DScaler? I have component cables for the XBox, and a component dongle for my VIVO card, but when I borrowed the 'box from my cousin, I think I...

I've got a VIVO x800 XTPE, and I've got the PS2 hooked up to it. Using Windows Movie Maker, as suggested by someone earlier in the thread, how can I watch the stream full screen? Are there any other programs that will just let me watch and not record at the same time? Edit: Also, I want...

I'd rock it. Not as my main rig, but maybe tote it with me to a LAN with a matching monitor, keyboard, and MX1000. All in red, of course. I'm thinking several linear actuators, make the panels move themselves. Put an LCD screen behind the front hatch, and make the hatch move out and rotate up...

As for the casemod, good luck, and keep us posted. It'll be killer when you finish it. The only idea I have for removing the Apple logo is to sandblast your own logo on top of it, covering it up. Probably not the best, but an idea, no?

Yes. A purple sheen instead of clear/white. I get it randomly, but only after multiple VST runs. Edit: And only in the VST, never seen it in game.

Woo, 4.12s sure do a number on the CS:S VST! 1600*1200, all setings at max, 6xAA, 16xAF, no VSync. Before it was 65.4, now it's at 75.35. This is on the system in my sig.

OMG d00d, yuo killed my card!!!111 I followed your insrutcions to teh letter and my card jsut sizzles! *ahem* In all seriousness, the card seems to be fine with the stock cooler. Tomorrow I'm going to a LAN party, and on my way there I'm going to return the ATI Silencer, yet again. Blast it all.

Could this be caused by the cooler being to tight? Despite snapping one standoff on the original Silencer by overtightening, I still run the little buggers about as tight as can be. Could say, one of the RAM extrusions be pushing the RAM chip too hard?

Hmm... So any suggestions as to pinpoint and/or remove the offending AS5?
