Hi hi everbody, I have a configuration of a dual channel SCSI card in my system now, because I thought I would need different channels for the seperate drives much like in IDE. I have been running on 4 9.1GB scsi disks for the past year, and now i'm going to be upgrading cuz 40gb is not...

I have checked the stickies - and the link to the power supply calculator does not work :eek: :rolleyes: (for me at least) Anyhow - Here's my situation - I have 11 drives i'm looking into putting into this system. I know that the spin-up will draw a ton of power - and continous power draw...

Hello my fellow [H]'ers. I'm currently working on a fileserver which i'm looking to put 12 IDE drives into. I'm using the ABIT NF7-S 1.2. I have two controller cards, both promise. I have successfully gotten two promise cards to work in one system before (where there was only 1 IDE...

Ok. So I've built many computers before, and I've bought many hard drives for school and other computers, and I now find myself having around a dozen small IDE drives that I have nothing much to do with. However, when added up, they do make a sizable amount: 1.005TB before format. I will be...

Ok. Last night I created two RAID0 paritions because the Windows installer did not recognize the two 9.1 gb disks which weren't in a raid0 array. I installed windows, and everthing went well. Installed a ton of drivers, and rebooted several times. I had everything working, except for the X2...

Ok, some have you may have been following my origonal thread.... about my purchasing all of my SCSI stuff. Well, now it has all arrived, and I've put it all together in my system. I went into the contoller setup, and enabled the HostRaid for both channels of the controller. Now. It was...

I just saw some cheap 9.1 GB scsi drives for sale, and I couldn't resist. I bought 4 of them. I was hoping to raid two of the drives to make a raid0 partition with which to store games, use one of the hard drives to put windows on it, and one to put my applications. I was looking around for...

I am looking into buying this case because it looks like there would be room at the front of the case for my large radiator. Do you think there will be room for my radiator with dimensions of 12 1/4" X 5 1/2" or 31.2cm by 14cm? (if i remove the three hdd bays there) If it does, could you...

I believe I #$*&#% up my video card, and I was looking around at all of the different video cards, and I had settled on the nvidia 6800GT. I then saw that there were two versions on the asus site. The 6800GT 128MB & 6800GT 256MB (agp). When I checked the prices on the two, there was a $200...

I have watercooled my computer, and in tthe setup I have this monster radiator. In order to fit the radiator on the back of my case, I cut a small hole in the top of the case, and at the bottom of the radiator the steel o-clamps rubbed on my AIW Radeon 9700. It seems to have rubbed a small...

I have my Z680's hooked up to my dvd player in my room with my tv beside it(using optical input). I was just watching spiderman and went to go have dinner, so I paused it and turned off my tv. I came back from dinner and pressed play (& turned on tv), only to find nothing. No sound, nada. I...

I'm not sure what is going on here. I have a barton 2500 watercooled and was doing some overclocking. It was running for about 2 days, at 3200 MHz and I haden't touched it since the first day, then I turned it on the next day and was greeted by the following pics. This is just after I first...

I have custom made my own waterblock. Right now if i'm not mistaken the actual aluminum is 0.76mm or thereabouts thick between the core & the fluid. This question is for everybody. What is the thickness of the material (copper & alum) between YOUR cpu & the cooling liquid? (And what...

Just bought me a new spanky Dell Inspiron 9100. This thing's elite..... anyhow... I was just thinking about installing halo, when I thought.... "I should update the video drivers to the latest". So off I went to the ati website... downloaded their drivers.... then thought to myself, "but this...

I've pretty much finished building my watercooled rig... and i'm using braided tubing much like the other people here. Right now I only have the waterblock on the cpu, and I was planning on making the blocks for the gpu and nb in a month or so... or perhaps next year when i'm finished school...

I have been waiting for ide/sata command queueing and I have been receiving conflicting things from different people. Hope somebody can clear this up. Does the raptor have command queueing like scsi disks? or is it still being worked on for disks in this year? I've currently got a Raid0...
