Do these switches control the 4 adjustable speed dials/fans or does one control the 4 fans on the dials and one switch the two (connectorless) bare wire fan connections? I'm looking to control 4 fans on the side of my Stacker and prefer to not have them on all the time but the speed control...

How new electronics and components smell? I just got my case (see other thread) and I can't stop smelling the interior... That smell will be gone obviously soon after I get stuff put inside, similar to the New Car Smell....

My Stacker 830 just arrived at my office and you can picture the "makeing up for something else" type jokes that floated around for 15 minutes along with jokes about it being my new apartment... and after looking at the stacker in person..... WOW it's big! It's big enough that I can stick...

It's cheap these days and I hate having to buy more of anything later... my gf will ignore a computer upgrade if she doesnt know how much it costs but later down the road in say 6 months... she wont understand upgrading again. Is 8 gigs (4 x2gig sticks) plenty for Windows Vista and a Quad...

I'm getting ready to upgrade my pc. I havn't upgraded in a long time let alone visit a modding forum. I bought a xbox 360 3 months ago and opted to never upgrade to play games again... and here I am. I was thinking about; - Intel Quad Core 2.4...

Who's got one and what brand, price did you pay etc... I have a compaq x6000 on the way and need to find a bag. The laptop has a 17" widescreen, so i'd imagine it has to be a healthy sized case.. Preferr one that rolls, as I travel on occasion. Would like one that can hold an...

First time in 34 years I've considered buying a laptop. I've never considered them equal to a full desktop and never thought of them as a gameing machine until now. I've been looking for a P4 processor, not a celeron or a mobile chip (dont know much about them ohter than the clock speed is...

Just curious, even after a search that produced little results.. who's got a wavemaster. Stock or otherwise, can you post some nice pics. I ordered the yellow/black one and was curious what if anything people have done to them. Mine will house a 3.6ghtz p4(LGA775), dual sli EVGA-GT cards...

My work is basically over-clocking this brand of mobo that is located inside a notebook computer/laptop. I guess they are attempting to see at what point it overheats and determine what the fan speed is on the cpu. We need a utility that will read; Cpu fan speed and temperature. Laptop...

Just ordered this mobo and a case to "upgrade" my server whcih currently resides in a shuttle sb62g2.. and I was wondering if the mobo was decent? After looking at some expensive mobo's I decided that.... my server sits there and serves, nothing fancy.. occasionally serves games but mostly...

Returned a crappy fx5200 this weekend and am back to my Asylum ti4200 128meg card. It's overclocked a little and has a nice heatsink on it, but I want a DX9 video card of the next generation with 256mb ram. PROBLEM: Which card to get? On Tom's Hardware review...

BFG Asylum Ti4200 128meg doesnt work well with 3dmark2003 BFG Asylum Fx5200 256meg work with 3dmark2003 and helps me get a score of 1500-1600 (sad i know) I'm downloading 3dmark2001 right now to bench the ti4200 and then redo the 5200 bench with the same software and compare scores...

I know this might be a silly question but i thought i'd ask since i've never used/changed this option in bios ever... There are several choices for Apature size in bios. My question is, what does this setting do AND what should I set it at? I'm guessing its memory related (duh!) but...

(a little initial review for those like me that do a few searches for stuff before we buy) It was 169.00 at Fry's in Las Vegas if that matters to anyone. I "settled" for a MSI NEO-FISR mobo instead of the GIGA-Byte GA-8KNXP, only because my parents bought it for me and because it still had...

It's a silly question but one I wanted to confirm before I dropped the cash. Newegg says; GIGABYTE "GA-8KNXP(REV 2.0)" i875P Chipset Motherboard for Intel Socket 478 CPU -RETAIL - Specifications - Supported CPU: Intel Pentium 4 Processors(Prescott Ready) Chipset: Intel 875P + ICH5R...

Looking for a mobo for a P4 3.0. Both of these mobo's look good but I've no experience with Chaintech. www.newegg.com sells em for ; Neo2-pfisr = 129.00 Zenith= 169.00 Is the Zenith that much better? Anyone have experience with either one of these... ? Looking to spend around...

I'm doing a test with my 200watt internal to see if it's my problem with my system randomly rebooting. It's been doing this before today so i know it's not the new video card. What WAS in the case.... Sb61G2 w/ 200watt 2 250GIG hdd's asylum 128 AGP P4 3.0 (not overclocked) dvd...

I have a SB61G2 w/ 200watt power supply. Silly question coming up.... but the box on the Asylum says 250watt min/300preferred for power supply but doesn't have a secondary power hookup like most 256meg cards.. in my box i have two hdd's and a cdrom being taxed by a P4 3.0C (not...

My gameing machine (see sig) has a TI4200 Asylum card in it.. and the fan on the videocard is getting noisey. I've cleaned the fan up with some canned-air but it's still getting noisy.. so i figured i should contemplate a replacement before it dies.. What will fit within the confines of...

I'm a 33yr old man sitting at work waiting on Fedex like a kid waiting to goto the candy store... I think I clicked on the tracking page 100 times in the last 1/2 hour waiting for it to say delivered so I can run downstairs to pickup the package from our office services dept. :rolleyes...

I am currently in taiwan and saw last week the MSI Mega 180 barebones. It looks appealing, to be hooked to our television and serve as a stereo/multimedia system. (it will serve no other purpose other than mp3 and movies viewed through the tv.) here is what i'm thinking of getting...

I'm leaving for Taiwan friday to visit my wife's parents and relatives.. and we are going computer shopping the first two days to build her sister a system and myself a fifth one for the television/home entertainment. Q? Do you know of any places to get a good deal? I know MSI and...

I just picked up a tornado for my xpc, just something to do i guess... and was wondering if anyone modded the plug to fit on the voltage/sensor header on the motherboard....? when hooked to the normal big plug it's on and running, but when wired into the motherbaord fan header it fails to...
