Where I work uses quite a lot of DI water for parts washing and plating, so I could get some for free. Would this offer any benefit versus regular distilled water? We make our own DI water by a reverse osmosis process. There are no ions dissolved in the water so it is non-conductive and...

My house has ground-source heat and a hot water pre-heater built into the refrigeration unit. This system will dump heat from the AC system into a water loop from my hot-water heater, thus during the summer cooling season, I get some free hot water. Eventually I want to install a tankless...

So I was thinking about putting in an application for that 48 core Magny Cours rig that AMD is offering for free and use it for bigadv crunching. My internet connection is slow as all hell. It takes me 20+ minutes to upload a regular A2 or A3 unit, let alone a bigadv unit. As close as I can...

Has anyone watched Blu-Ray movies on 3x portrait Eyefinity setup? right now my HTPC/gaming rig is hooked to a 40" LCD TV. I'm wondering if a wall-mounted triple-monitor setup would look good for TV, movies, and other regular AV type duties, all routed through a tuner card in the PC or played...

I am looking at something like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816111051&nm_mc=OTC-RSS&cm_mmc=OTC-RSS-_-Server%20RAID%20Systems-_-SANS%20DIGITAL-_-N82E16816111051 or a 4-5 drive version of the same. It says it uses port multipliers and not all eSATA controllers support...

http://www.buy.com/prod/zyxel-nbg419n-wireless-n-router/q/loc/101/211440529.html?adid=17070 Does anyone know anything about this brand? $29.99 sounds like a good deal for any N router if it's not a broken design.

I was running pretty good on my main rig with a VM and 3 GPU clients for a couple months. Now it shuts down every time I leave the house. I tried dialing back the CPU OC from 3.45 to 3.0, that let it run for a few hours instead of 30 minutes. Windows Vista Business is fully updated. I...

4 cyl, automatic, alloy wheels, sunroof, CD player. AC has a leak but works when you charge it. My gf's old car. She is wanting $2500 for it. located in mid-missouri.

So I've been trying to figure out why 1kw+ UPSes are so freaking expensive and I came up with an idea. I'm not sure if it's cost effective but we'll see what we can come up with. The problem is that any stand-alone UPS converts AC power to DC, stores it in a battery and then inverts back to...

http://www.energysavers.gov/your_home/water_heating/index.cfm/mytopic=12840 One of these would be nice to keep with your boxen. If your electric resistance water heater uses $200 worth of energy in a year at $.09 per kWh, that means you used 2200 kWh. This averages to about 250 Watts that...

So I decided my new build should be centered on a Phenom II 720 BE. I think I want to go with an AM3 board that supports DDR3. I will fold with it so more PCIe slots is better. Despite the point production lead in nVidia's favor I have convinced myself that ATI does better science and I like...

I know mixing different video cards on the same mobo is generally not advised, but that seems to revolve around the number of shaders on each GPU. Since the only difference between a 4850 and a 4870 is the clock speeds, would they still hinder each other at all?

This is my challenge to Dannifood4less to a race to 500,000 points in F@H. He who gets free GenMay first wins free Genmay first and a warm fuzzy feeling of victory. May your blade chip and shatter.

The ROC seems to have rolled over the 10 million point marker. Someone needs to re-post it because I think the sonic boom destroyed it.

I have my P4 in my sig rig running the notfred CD in hyperthreading mode. Almost 3 weeks ago it started on a pair of work units that are rather long-running. i checked this morning and they were at 90% complete after about 18 days of running. I'll check this evening and get the project number...

It seems that one of our F@H jugga-nauts has reached a rather astounding milestone. Congratulations and WTF to Tigerbiten!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371012&Tpk=17-371-012 Not a bad deal for a kW PSU. Anyone know about quality or which OEM this one is from?

My sig computer has lost it's raid array(both disks I think) and I'm wondering If i can fold on it without one. I have a 4GB flash drive that I could install some sort of client on if such a thing is available. I'm getting a laptop soon so I'm not sure if I'll rebuild my old system or not, but...

I've been eyeing the Gateway P-6860FX for a couple weeks, but this one just caught my eye. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220306 The warranty, plus the mouse and bag included with the ASUS bring the cost about even between the 2. The ASUS has a T9300 CPU and...
