If it's a server, find a cupboard and don't worry too much about the noise; I found this whilst searching for "1U" on the eBay's Swedish site: http://www.tradera.com/Dell-Poweredge-1550-1U-P3-866Mhz-512MB-2x36GB-CD-auktion_95881156 You should be able to find a good rackmount server for under 1000 Kr...

The USA vs Jamaica suggestion appeared to denote a misunderstanding of the parties involved in the Falklands conflict. The Belgrano point wasn't about documentation, just that people still remember the extensive media coverage. Hiroshima jokes are extremely rare. I predict it will take an extremely ...

Just to remind you - Falklands 1982. But they don't have jokes about that... True, but no-one outside of the UK even knows of that war.... If the United States were to attack Jamaica it would be an easy win as well. The UK weren't fighting the Falklanders, they were fighting Argentinians. Also, stu...

From that diagram, I guess you have the board flat? If so, make that compartment as shallow as possible so that your Graphics Card and CPU-HS almost touch the top; This way you'll get better thermal zoning and the airflow generated by fans will actually get to the heatsinks instead of just becoming ...

Since there's a lubricated bearing at the middle of them, I'd assume the lube flows down and the bearing dries up... and we have no way to re-lubricate it! So balance spinning it regularly for bearing health vs. wear and tear of circuitry from all that motor power passing through: sync your stuff on...

it's the same function regardless of whether you buy it or make it. The opinions expressed above amount to "buy one if you want, but it's easy to make a better one". You've entered a world where people are happy to meddle with their own machines, and having spent plenty on fancy heatsinks and cases,...

EAX only works in Windows XP. To get sound from games which do use EAX, you need "Creative ALchemy". Creative Alchemy needs to support a game, en when you alchemy it, it changes files in the game installation folder. With this changed all EAX calls are changed to OpenAL calls and it works again, wi...

Xigmate[k] availability
I can't seem to find UK stockists for Xigmatech products. I've been considering the HDT-S1283 or HDT-S1284 for my AMD X2 4200+ (2.2GHz) but the only place I found selling them over here has deleted them from its catalogue in the last month. I haven't got a ruler to measure my case yet, but I'll need...

Why does everyone say the P183 is ugly? It's nice looking like the P180 Mini and is basically a bigger version of it! Whoever said the Mini was aesthetically pleasing? It seems like one guy made the original sleek design, then some other guy came along and said "needs some holes, what shape shall I...

Dark Blade log - extremely long, but I loved it while I watched it some time ago. I really wish Projects were held in restricted areas, with separate comments threads! Skipping forwards to page 90-something... Nice design, but not for me. I could probably make something nice and subtle, and quiet, ...
