    Fans on zip ties?

    So, long story short, my Ti4600's* fan died. It took me about a week of random crashes and so forth to figure it out, hah, but, anyways, I pulled the fan off, and suspended an 80mm on zip ties, also secured to the bottom of the case. I can't put the side back on, but, this is temporary anyways...

    How'd you like to game on a setup like this?

    http://www.youtube.com/w/Multi-Touch%20Interaction%20Research?v=iVI6xw9Zph8&eurl=http://mblog.lib.umich.edu/~rdivecha/archives/2006/02/the_world_of_sm.html Follow the link, watch - Aside from keyboard input, I'd miss the springy keys, but for the rest, I'd be pretty impressed to see it in person.

    Everything down the tubes, any idea?

    Alright... So I powered on the fileserver this afternoon, disk check consistency came up, I said fine, whatever, left the room, came back... .... .... and it erased everything. Like, EVERYTHING on my 250GB drive. Fortunately, I have an 80 that isn't in any rig with backups of the important...

    A moment of silence, please...

    So, after doing almost 2 years at 2.3-2.5ghz, my AthlonXP 2400-M IQYHA has finally died. Anyone else experience sudden CPU death from a XP-mobile? I remember awhile ago, somewhere, I told someone that overclocking your CPU won't eventually kill it, at least quickly. But, when voiding...

    HTPC keyboard suggestions...

    I think this is my first post in the HTPC forum - probably because I don't have much of an HTPC - Just a P3/933/512MB/GF4MX 128 mostly for SNES/NES emulation, DVD playback, etc. Is anyone using a keyboard/mouse combo (not necessarily purchased as a combo) that has decent range? We're talking...

    Anyone recording Vinyl -> MP3/Ogg etc?

    I've seen a lot of HTPC setup pictures around here.... And none of them have turntables! :P Anyways, just wondering if anyone else records vinyl on their PC, and what they are using to do it. Btw, I'd never replace my records with a digital format, however, for some of the really hard to...

    Mac Monitors attached to PCs...

    Like, old Apple monitors - A Apple Multiple Scan 20 display, to be precise. HD15 male connector on the end of the cable. It seems like the Griffin Technology Mac Connect will work for it, but I was wondering if anyone had tried this sort of thing, and what kind of results they experienced...

    Argh! A boggle. Your thoughts?

    Alright, I have a dilemma. The rig in question: P2/350 Slot1; Supermicro i440BX chipset mainboard; Voodoo3 3000, 256MB PC100; 20GB WDC HDD. Yeah, it is long in the tooth these days. It's a friend of mine's rig - All he does is play Diablo II on it. :p Anyways, he calls me up - He's not...

    Officially joined the AMD crowd...

    First Athlon rig, ever. Pretty sweet. I just felt like making a post - This is the first AMD CPU that has ever been my main rig. Running pretty well. I'm going to see just how far it goes - 2200mhz is a 'conservative' OC - It did it right from the box, I've never posted it at anything...

    Just got my IQYHA 0402MPM 2400+ M...

    Anyone want to give me an estimate of what I can expect out of this thing? I just got it from Newegg today, and I'll be pairing it with an NF7 and 512MB Geil PC3200, and cooling with a Thermaltake Silentboost. However, the Antec SLK3700 I ordered showed up with a broken front bezel, and...

    AMD NF7 + XP 2800 = No OC?

    A friend of mine just got an NF7/2800+/TT SilentBoost/512MB Geil PC3200/Antec 300w PSU from the 'egg ... Anyways, the bugger doesn't seem to want to move on the clockspeed, nothing past 166FSB... Usually at anything higher than stock we get a lockup before even booting Windows, or...

    Creating your own custom Windows Install CD...

    I've had this copy of 2K pro since it was released - Yes, I buy MS products before the first service pack, sometimes - and I'm awaiting some new parts (for the first time in some time - an Abit NF7, AXP-M 2400+, and 512MB Geil) which is certainly going to make me reinstall Windows. I fear...

    Anyone have a problem with this configuration?

    That question could be interpreted in two different ways, really - Has anyone had any problems with this sort of setup, and does anyone have any problem with my decision? It will arrive in two days (via the 'egg of course, and yeah, I clicked through that banner up there...) AMD Athlon...

    Abit NF7-S & Serial ATA RAID

    Alright... I'm *finally* going to build a new rig, after much waiting. Don't tell me to get an Athlon64. I wait to upgrade because my performance needs are, well... I don't really even *need* a faster machine than this. That said - I'm planning on making a purchase of the Abit NF7-S...

    Well, here it is. The first "Anyone know whats wrong with MY rig?" post... I was hoping it wouldn't of come to this. I never have any problems, much less strange ones, with my personal machine. :( (That would be the specifications down there in my sig, 'natch. All drivers are current, and...

    Any Suggestions for a 3rd-Party Voodoo3 Driver?

    GF3 Ti500 vs. Radeon 9100

    I have the option for two video cards... GF3 Ti500 or a Radeon 9100 - Now before everyone screams "ATI!" bear in mind I only play Counter-Strike... I'm leaning towards the GF3, anyone have any reason not to? I think they'd both perform the same for the most part anyways.
