Hey guys, I know that most of you probably haven't heard from me in a while... but I'm still around. On the plus side, it has been long enough to where I don't have to worry so much about pissing people off by talking about stuff :p Anyway, I'm going to be the special guest on an episode of...

Well, the time has come for me to get rid of some of the spare stuff that I have sitting around the house.... Payment: PayPal only (except for the M :rolleyes:) Shipping: I'll ship via USPS Priority or UPS (depending on the item, cost to ship, etc) within the US only. No international...

Already posted in a couple other forums, but figured that some here would appreciate it as well :D So, how many of you guys remember the Laing D4/MCP650? ...anybody? Okay, well, anyway, I was curious as to how the 'ole D4 would stack up against the D5 Basic... so, onetwothreego! :)...

Hey everyone... I don't post here much anymore (though, I really should work on that) and I already posted this over in XS, but I figured that the regulars here who don't hop back and fourth may appreciate it. :) -- Begin lazy copy-paste -- I know that it has been a while since I posted...

Hey everyone... I'm back with another round of DDC testing for your viewing enjoyment. However, this time, rather than doing somewhat crude comparative testing, I've gathered some more equipment and decided to go for some spiffy pressure vs. flow curves with power consumption. This will...

Okay everyone, I finally got my prototypes back from the machine shop and I also managed to finish the pump testing that I was working on. Feel free to repost this test data where ever you wish as I'll only be posting it in XS and [H]. So, yeah...on with the show! :rolleyes: The Contenders...

Hey everyone! Some of you who also frequent the XS Forums may remember my quick head pressure testing in this thread a couple of weeks ago... Well, I decided to expand upon it and test more pumps that I happen to have sitting around. Below is the data that I collected--PLEASE make sure to read...

You guys'll probably find this one amusing... First, a bit of background, though... I've been planning on doing a nice bit of modding to a Sonata2 to use as a display machine; however, due to the amount of modding and painting involved, it would likely take me about two weeks from start to...

Okay... I'm getting really annoyed at buying up every can of blue spray paint in sight just to be disappointed. :( So.... I was wondering... Does anyone know of a Dupli-Color paint which matches (or is pretty close to) the pseudo-metallic flake blue color that Swiftech uses on the retention...

During the past couple of years I've spent poking around on the [H] I've see a lot of really kick ass custom cut case windows...but, call me crazy for saying this, I've also noticed that more and more premodded case windows have been popping up in the gallery. Personally, I see custom case...

Out of curiosity, what do you guys think of Silverprop waterblocks...more specifically the Cyclone Evo. SE, Cyclone Nexus SX, and the Cyclone Fusion SL? I realize that these blocks aren't widely available in the US but that's not really something that is of much concern for the time being...

Okay, my family and I picked up a bunch of parts to use to rebuild my younger brother's gaming rig for Christmas; however, I'm having some really frustrating problems. Basically, I would get a BSOD when installing Windows (XP Professional) on his computer (during the 'copying files' phase after...

Last Updated: 4/18/05 - 11:20PM PDT Hey everyone! To start things off, I was kinda hesitant about posting this (especially since I didn't bother to make a worklog for what I did to my gaming rig most recently), however, I figured 'eh what the hell...' I'm a computer geek (meaning all...

Hey everyone... I already have both the Zalman ZM-NB32J and the ZM-NB47J northbridge heatsink and I was just wondering which would actually work better on my NF7-S. Any info would be appreciated--thanks! :) Side note: Not sure if it really matters...but I noticed that the base on the NB47J is...

Okay, now, who's bright idea was it to make PSU heatsinks electrically 'hot' as well as thermally hot? WTF were they thinking?!!?! I mean, here I was just making a few modifications/repairs to my Antec True430 PSU and I decided to test it real quick by jumping the PSU with a paperclip before I...

Hey guys! I thought that this was kinda interesting and maybe worth mentioning.... Last night I was talking with a friend and we ended up getting in a little debate over which was better or if there was even a real performance difference between using 3/8" ID hose with normal 1/2" OD blocks...

Hey everyone... I'm working on sleeving my PSU wires right now (Antec True430) and I was wondering what to do about the SATA power connectors that are on this PSU... They are too large to fit the 1/4" FLEXO sleeving over and I can't seem to find a way to remove them like the rest of the PSU's...

Hey guys, I've got a bit of an emergency here..... Yesterday I received a refurbed Shuttle AN35N Ultra (Rev. 1.1) from NewEgg that I ordered for a cheap tinkering machine. Anyway, I got the box built today and noticed that it was using some really old BIOS version so I decided to update it. I...

Wow, that's got to be the strangest thread title I've ever come up with.... Anyway, hey guys! Yeah, I'm trying to find some rather specific pieces of measuring instrumentation to use on computers and I was wondering if you guys could help me out a bit. Here's what I'm looking for: -An...

Hey guys, I have a quick question about RAM timings for you... Okay, I finally got my rig (in sig) back up and running again and I'm attempting to push it a little farther than I did before my last mobo died. :rolleyes: Anyway, I know the rig is memtest and Prime95 stable when running in the...

I'm going to be ordering a mobo tonight from the egg to replace my dead 8RDA+ (in sig) and I'm having a hard time deciding wether to go with the NF7-S or the DFI NFII Ultra Infinity. From what I've looked at, they are both pretty good boards but I am somewhat concerned about the BIOS issues that...

Hey everyone! I'm thinking of starting a hardware reviews site (I can already hear the collective 'not another one' remark...so, spare me. :rolleyes: ) and I was curious as to what your thoughts were. Computer hardware is something that, generally, I am really good with and, more importantly, my...

Hey everyone, I'm in the process of changing out some parts in my main rig (in sig) since my mobo died recently and I'm having a hard time deciding on what RAM I should get (provided a few other things work out which would allow me to pay for it). I'm probably going to end up replacing my dead...

Okay, this problem has gone from annoying to really bad.... :( A few days ago the lights on my Logitech keyboard (caps lock, num lock, and scroll lock) started blinking really fast when I turned on my computer, which I thought was rather odd. Then I discovered that my keyboard wouldn't function...

Hey guys, haven't posted in a while... Anyway, my friend started having trouble with his computer yesterday so he brought it over here to have me fix it. I've been tinkering with it for a while and, short of a reformat, I'm running out of ideas... (The noise from its Volcano 6Cu+ must be getting...
