Re: Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite: Budget AMD Ultrabook
AMD Jaguar is the Atom competitor right? It has nothing to do with the decently performing APUs called A8 and A10? Their lineup is becoming as confusing as Intel's :) Yeah, you're right =) AMD's performance line of APUs (Trinity, Richland) use the A4, A6, A8, and A10 names. AMD's low power APUs (Ka...

Video Card [Recommendation]
I'm building up a new system, and I need a recommendation for a video card. I've been looking for something at the performance level of a Geforce 7600gs or 8500gt. I want to avoid buying aftermarket coolers....are there any quiet (or passive, for that matter) video card offerings? also, any ATI perf...

New Budget System
After helping my friend build his system (his Core 2 Duo E6500 system in his Antec P150 case is quite silent), i was hoping to achieve around the same level of noise with a less expensive build: Athlon X2 4000 <- how's the stock fan's noise? Asus M2A-VM <- under/over clocking/volting capabilities? A...

Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer fan noise
I have one of those old VGA Silencers attached to my radeon 9700 pro. The fan on it is the loudest thing in my system (marginally), and it sounds like it's making a very quiet clicking noise. Would I be able to run my video card passive? or possibly with a fan attached directly on the heatsink? any ...

new computer
I'm thinking of building a new computer soon. Its main purpose is for some light gaming and office use. My budget is about $500 CAD.
So far, I've only thought of:
- Antec P150/Solo/etc + Antec NeoHE 430
- an AM2 system
Any recommendations?

USB Fan question
This is more of an electrical question, but i don't know where to put this...here it goes:
I'm thinking of making a laptop cooler, using the USB port as the source. What's the maximum current I can draw safely from one port?

Laptop fan
I have a very noisy fan in my Toshiba Portege 3500. I've tried cleaning out the dust from the heatsink/fan area, but it still makes those rattling noises. Could my fan need more bearing lubricant, or is there any other solution? Oh yeah, just to note...the fan doesn't have a visible bearing opening,...

Fan resistor
I'm trying to get 9V for my Arctic Fan 3 using a resistor. It's rated for 0.16A @12V. I just started learning about circuits and stuff, so I tried some calculations. I assumed that the fan was a resistor (not an inductor, since I haven't learned that yet). I used the specs for Zalman's ZM-F1 fan sin...

any way to mount a fan in this fashion?

I'm thinking of a pci slot cover design, but I can't think of a way to change the orientation of the fan. Also, fan vibration is another concern.
