Yep, mining isn't going anywhere. I'll just have to make sure I preorder ASAP. (who am I kidding, I'm going to preorder and use it to MINE!)

Couldn't overclock much; locked mult @ 7x and the mobo doesn't seem to like 400fsb, so I stopped at 366. Still, for $29 with everything included, it's a nice upgrade from 2 core to 4 core and a lot more cache (while using significantly less power).

$29 for the CPU and sticker and I'm up and running. I killed a fucking P5K Deluxe by accidentally putting it in the wrong way, but I had another board and I'm up and running on that: Motherboard is a Gigabyte P35-DS3L running bios F9 (no modifications).

I'm in on this! Picked up a sticker and L5410 for $29 shipped. Should be able to sell my E8400 for around $20 after the swap :cool: Been wanting to upgrade to a quad core for a while, but didn't want to invest a lot of money in my old platform. Running a P5K Deluxe with 6gb and E8400, 7850...

I think you have the right general idea. I'd guess we're no more than 20 years away from multiple petabyte or exabyte hard drives, and I'd also suggest planning for a 50 year time frame with the idea of transitioning to a better, more affordable medium as technology improves.

I'm a fan of it. I do this at home for content filtering: 192.168.1.100-199 = static DHCP unfiltered assignments 192.168.1.200-225 = static DHCP filtered assignments (using dansguardian) 192.168.1.226-250 = DHCP assignments (also using dansguardian) This keeps unknown devices on the network...

Bump for a completed deal - got the mobo/ram today and everything is great.

Looking for heatsinks suggestions for the following setup: Norco RPC-450B 4U case Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 motherboard AMD Phenom II X6 1045T 95W processor I have the stock heatsink and fan, but I'd like something a little more effective and quiet. My usual go-to solution is a 212/212+, but that...

More importantly, is that you with captain Picard on the top right shelf?

UP! I like to bump while deals are in progress - everything going smoothly so far ;)

Holy lack of memory, Batman! Grab a 2x4gb set immediately (should cost around $40-50 new, a bit less used). This is easily going to be your best upgrade, and will add a lot of life and performance to your setup. You might even consider 16gb (4x4) if you can get a good deal (I've seen used sets...

Have any references (preferably heatware?). Also you might check out #23.

Bump for a deal in progress :)

The i5 3470 has a TDP of 77w, versus the AMD chip @ 95w. That's a 18w diference at full load. Assuming the worst possible scenario of full load 24x7 @ $0.15/kwh (a good guess at the national average), you're looking at a max of $23.65 a year difference. That figure drops significantly as you...

Edit: got one, thanks!

That's what I was wondering, already sent a PM asking.

So I'm trying to ditch DIRECTV and not lose the type of experience I have now. I mean it's great, but $200 a month seems wasteful. I've got 6 HD-DVRs including the big media server one, all of which I own (former employee; we can keep and sell the gear when we quit). All of these devices...

Yeah, it's obviously it's made for a low profile chassis, so it makes sense that it's getting really hot in a 4U case due to the lack of airflow. I'm shopping around for heatsinks now, shouldn't be too hard to find something that works well. edit: Used the heatsink from an old dead xbox 360 on...

edit: double post! w00t!

Yeah, FB-DIMMs are pretty cheap right now if you get 1gb modules. I put it all together and I'm sort of conflicted. Here are my observations: * The CPU runs very cool. I will be swapping out the OEM fan with a silent 80mm (whole system will become nearly silent) * Despite my previous...

Off the market; change of plans!

I have a small rack setup at home, and I've realized that I am wasting way too much electricity to start adding more servers, but I'd like to expand. Going virtualized seems like a good idea. I started grabbing some cheap parts, though I may be headed down the wrong path. Here's what I have...

Still a work in progress, this is my home rack: From top to bottom: * LCD TV/monitor * (blank space for future KVM) * Tripp Lite PDU * Shelf with E1000 (wireless bridge), SB5120, and PAP2-NA on a shelf * Ugly shelf with a DIRECTV receiver (In case I feel like watching TV, but this is really...

Grabbed a cheap socket 771 setup but it didn't come with a heatsink! I have tons of space so it doesn't need to be any particular height (going in a 4U case). Need at least one, but I'd also be interested in a pair for future use. Let me know what you have; need to buy ASAP!

Got the card, bump! :)

I'd do the 16, ygpm

Looking for: * IDE SSD. I know, performance on these tends to suck, but I have my reasons. Buying under the guise of an upgrade for my wife's old laptop, but I'll end up just using it in a project box. Size doesn't matter terribly; 16gb is probably plenty. 4-8gb might work but could be a...

Is that an old mobile A64 on the left? I'm curious and I can't seem to make out what it is (lol dibs if it is)

That Colorgraphic Xentera GT4 is a sweet ass card :D I think that's about as cheap as quad DVI is ever going to be. Would buy myself if I could find a use! Bump!

Putting together a super low budget box for watching Hulu and Netflix content. Need a PCI (not PCI-E!) video card - my onboard video isn't quite strong enough and I don't have an AGP slot in this dinosaur. Would prefer it to have DVI but can live without if necessary. Price is king, lemme know...

Reporting back on a deal finished - good seller. (and a bump)

Up!

Wondering what happened to this project :(

Gave up my on s754 main system two days ago! Gave it to the wife, though I think I will be spending some time underclocking it as she only does web browsing. Also need to downgrade from the agp 6800 in there to something less power hungry.

I'll take this - YGPM

This isn't that uncommon, the jetdirect cards in HP 4200 series printers can be revived by baking or torching. I also seem to recall a post about someone doing this back in the 9500/9700 days.

Movin' on up!

Looking for these items: 1. PSU - want something with 2 or more 12v rails, 500 watt or higher; I don't need anything crazy right now, but I generally buy more than I need to make sure I'm good for the next upgrade. 2. Video card - must outperform a 6800, which is what I had in my last system...

YGPM, i'll take this
