I'm in the injection molding business. We are manufacturing automotive parts. Other than 'standard' materials such as ABS, PP, PE, there are also endless number of materials, which we call engineering plastics. These are resins that are being produced by mixing different off-the-shelf plastics with ...

One desktop amp that got quite an attention on the net was NuForce's Icon.

I have read very good reviews on the audophile forums.

NoScript is one of the best things since sliced bread.

The other excellent plugin I use is Adblock.

Life couldn't be better on the 'net.

The weights are getting really silly. That's almost 1.5 kg (3.30 lb)

It can't be that one would need to hang a 1.5 kg metal mass on a filigrane motherboard just to cool a CPU.

Engineers should come up with new cooling technologies.

yea i read that but didnt feel like correcting myself. whats your prediction on temps i dont think that it will be as good as twice the mass unit either. while heatpipes are very crucial to performance , i dont feel that simply adding more necessarily gives a big boost While reading your post, I st...

Member spungfoo successfully fitted an Accelero on a Quadro. Not clear from the post whether it was an S1 or S2 though.

Update: Since I didn't want to let it go so easily, I re-installed FF3. Then I ran Filemon utility to check the file activity when running FF3. And success. As some of you may already know, Firefox has a feature (under Tools- Options- Security) to monitor the sites that are being visited by users an...

I just took the plunge today and installed FF3. Prior to installing, I uninstalled FF2 and made a clean install. Sorry guys/gals, but I hate to admit that the current version is a total mess. The CPU usage is jumping up and down, reaching 100% occasionally and making the browser totally unusable. Af...

IIRC, Thermalright had announced this a year ago or so, now it was shown to public at Computex 2007.

Hah! :lol: And baaad Mr. Teacher for pushing a brand on students... then again most universities and schools require students to use MS Office or Windows for schoolwork. :P Some Apple-fan lecturer made a good point about Powerpoint having all our presentation courses to itself, but the university P...

IMHO, Apple's marketing is just phenomenal. All the secrecy about their upcoming products (created by Apple itself, of course) is attracting millions of people to their stores. People are constantly monitoring blogs for the last minute rumors, hands-on reviews, spy pictures etc. We have to give thei...

Not specifically for the iMac, but it covers Apple's marketing strategy in general.

I am a die-hard Eizo fan. Impressive picture quality, hands down. However, recently I came across to the all-new Lenovo L220x. This is the first 22" screen with HD (1920x1200) resolution. And it has a S-PVA panel. It comes with 4 USB ports, supports HDCP and has a very neat cable management system, ...

Heh, yes, it isn't cheap. But I see that as an investment. I spend a lot of time in front of the computer, so a chair with endless adjustment possibilites to be able to sit comfortable was important for me. As for the cost, well, given the years that I'll be using it, it's not that bad. It's already...

I have a Vitra Ypsilon. It wasn't cheap, but it was one of the best 'investments' that I made. Designed by Mario Bellini, one of my favorite designers. It received Red Dot award in 2002 in product design category.

William "Willy" Higinbotham was the man, who created one of the very first 'computer' games with a graphical display in 1958, Tennis For Two, long before Pong. He created it on an oscilloscope.

JJR,

was there a particular reason why you went with the Xeon equivalent rather than the 'original' one? I recall you mentioning this on other threads as well, but never had the chance to ask.

(There's another one on the back side near the CPU, dunno why)

I remember reading in some reviews that you could put a 80mm fan (x10mm) if you want to cool the motherboard.

This feature comes both on CM 690 and 590.

I'm curious: which direction does the air flow? I'm curious about the energy balance. Real mass (air) is being accellerated from standstill to a moving column of air, just like a regular fan. Thus, the air gains kinetic energy. This energy has to come from somewhere. So at least one of the two elec...

Kinda reminds me of "Metropolis" movie poster....

I don't know if this is the right forums, if not please move.

MSI Ecolution Motherboard

[quote]MSI is making thier ECOlution motherboard to showcase at CeBIT. The mobo comes with an “air powered coolerâ€

I think this heatsink should do good mostly if you have a fan on the case panel, otherwise it shouldn't perform too well. And you could connect the fan on the HSF to a fan on the side panel with a duct. Run both fans at the lowest rpm and there you'd have a nice setup. This would also let you *I th...

Max, This is an open discussion that we can continue until we both get blue. It's like the infamous Mac vs PC debates or religious discussions "my religion is better than yours". I neither have the time nor the wish to do that. As for suggesting me to go back to DOS, thanks for the snide remark, I'l...

OK, since we XP users are ignorant dinosaurs, I'd like to know a couple of things about the new Vista. 1) Does it still have a Registry? 2) Do you still have to deal with dynamic link library files spread over the whole windows directory? Do they get cleaned completely after an uninstall or is it po...

Another Sinclair ZX81 owner here

Keep in mind that in addition to the "360mm" side intake fan, there's also a 220mm front intake fan. With those two huge intakes, the air has to escape from inside the case back to the outside somehow. One 120mm rear fan hole with a grill on it isn't gonna do a very good job! :D Looking at your out...

I'm keeping an eye on that case as well. It's looking impressive and I'm very curious to see its cooling potential.

Willy, I've downloaded* the necessary files and did everything like you said. The game fired up but with no sound and in a tiny window. I somehow ran the gam in full window but the default cursor (the gauntlet) did not move, and instead I pointed to things with the Windows arrow. Unfortunately, I'v...
