    Is there any way to make an online link point to a file on a local network?

    any reason you can't move the file to the webserver? if the files were on the same network you could setup a virtual directory on your webserver, but you would have to be either on the same network or have some sort of route to go back and forth

    Canon EOS Rebel XSi -accessories?

    an extra battery is always a good idea and look at investing in a good camera bag, something that will carry everything you need. 1 word of caution is don't go too crazy buying any glass quite yet, play with the camera first and then figure out what you need, you may find out you really...

    ThermalTake Ultra or CM V8?

    there is really not much difference between the 2, they both are up to the task, too many people gt caught up with actual numbers but everyone has different numbers, everyone has different conditions they are running their rigs, the only thing that matters is that both coolers will cool equally...

    if you are looking for cheap then Xigmatek DK would be a great choice, cost is about $39.99 if you have more of a budget then there is the CoolerMaster V8, Noctua, and the TRUE

    is it worth it to upgrade to an i7 for gaming?

    i wouldn't sweat it, your q9650 is fine. no reason to move to i7 unless you just really have to have one or your current rig is on its last legs. and if you are in the group of the former you would have already bought one

    when will i7 prices start to drop?

    that of course assumes that the app even knows how to use all 8 threads, in all honesty having 8 threads is more of a novelty, a "hey check out my rig" kind of a feature, by the time that apps catch up to that we will all be talking about the next gen architecture or revisions to the current i7

    Xigmatek S1283v Dark Knight or Noctua NH-U12P SE1366

    the fit will be fine, and performance will be pretty close to equal. the Noctua will be quieter so if sound is a concern then grab it for the premium price, if you want bang for the buck grab a DK

    when will i7 prices start to drop?

    i don't see the X58 mobo going down much, these are suppose to be the high end units, just as the X48 before it, the low cost mobo won't come out till intel releases the budget and mid range chipsets as for the ram, it is falling so quick i'm actually considering a second set of ram just for...

    Quick question, the difference between Corsair HX an TX?

    the difference is modular or not modular, all corsair power supplies are good, they split the lines between CWT and Seasonic, and both are fine. it really just comes down to personal preference which one you like better. i tend to stick with what i have used and know works, so i have a...

    Asus P6T horrible packaging!!!

    i have never known asus to shrink wrap, while, it does give me a pause because i worry the retailer may have swapped out my good board for a DOA or just taken accessories out, i have never had the problem and tend to stick with a few trusted shops. but still there is a bit of worry, human...

    Air Cooling for under $100

    all the coolers mentioned are great candidates S1283 and Vendetta 2 are on the lower price of the spectrum while the TRUE and Noctua are on the higher end price wise, if you are talking bang for the buck, the S1283 or Vendetta 2 are going to be your best bets, if money is not an object then...

    Does anyone have Silverstone FT01 pics?

    no problems with my V8 and the fan controller, just need to pull the cap off the controller, slip it into the cover plate (just make sure you slip it in with latch on the bottom so it fits into the cover plate and locks it in) as far as performance it is doing well, i don't have anything to...

    Building MySQL overclocked i7 for work

    in my opinion and i think most would agree the biggest appeal for overclocking aside from just personal satisfaction of tweaking something and flexing the e-peen around is to try to maximize resources you have because of a limited budget. (ie. buying a celeron 300a and doing a o/c to 450mhz)...

    i7 920 O/C Results

    i have since bumped my voltage up to 1.25, since it crashed once, figure it wouldn't hurt and i could rule out under voltage as an issue, and under Prime95, CPU-Z shows the voltage at 1.256v i'm pretty sure if i tweaked the case cooling a bit to get better flow i'd probabbly be able to drop...

    is i7 worth the extra money?

    my advice is hold out as long as you can with your current rig and when the time comes go i7, there really isn't a point going 775 anymore, and keep in mind the prices will continue to drop as you are waiting. and in all honesty you really should be comparing an i7 rig with a current quad...

    i7 920 O/C Results

    so far so good with the CM V8, by reputation i know the TRUE is suppose to be better but i'm not going to be tearing apart my rig to drop the temp by a few degrees. i have to say to i wasn't disappointed by the V8 at all, only thing that I will say is it is a rather large block, in my rig i had...

    Anyone regret going i7?

    no regrets, if you are upgrading now, then you gotta go i7, if you can wait then wait, but don't upgrade to a Q9X now just to upgrade again in 6 months

    i7 920 O/C Results

    the room temperature in the living room which is next to the office is 73F, so i'd imagine the office is no more than 5 degrees warmer, so i'd guess around 78F - 80F.

    Core i7/GTX280 Power Req

    should not be a problem with your current power supply, i was running a similar system on an hx520 but upgraded to an hx620 today because Frys has it for $10 more than i paid for the hx520 and i just couldn't resist, so i'm going to return the hx520 after i rip it out of my system

    What is your current CPU Cooling Device?

    CM V8, so far so good, would have preferred a TRUE-120 RT1366 but none of the local stores carry it and i was impatient and didn't want to have all the parts lying around for a week while waiting for it

    How to decide between i7 and Q series?

    it really depends on the type of user you are, not in the sense of what applications you use, but how often you like to upgrade your PC, if you do it every 6 months or even every year, i'd say hold off on i7, take advantage of the great DDR2 pricing out there, and just build a Q9550 but if...

    Corsair: HX vs TX

    i believe the hx is the modular design and the tx and vx lines are just normal with attached cabling. other than that, they are either made by CWT or Seasonic, and while i prefer Seasonic, there is nothing wrong with CWT. the breakdown by manufacturers is as follows i believe, some please...
