Remote desktop is really cool and that site doesn't list this, but XP Home doesn't have IIS! I'm really surprised it doesn't list that, it's a pretty big thing. I just bought an OEM XP Pro since I don't think I would be able to scrounge another free XP Pro key from U of I (it's ~legit :) ). At least...

I'd just like to share that the system I build for my parents is a PIII 1Ghz Coppermine FCPGA2 on a Tyan board and it boots faster than any machine I've ever seen. The CPU heatsink feels like room temperature. It is very cool, only warm thing is the Geforce2 heatsink (fanless). Those PIII 1.4 Tualit...

SONOVA, my session timed out looking at articles :evil: and I lost my friggin post, I'll try to recreate it: That stand is absolutely great! As You can see in the here , the stand is really flexible, and makes it possible to use the screen like it has no stand at all (see the second pic). Very good ...

No, that's a bad thing. Now stagnant air will get caught under the cards. The fans on the bottom of a graphics card push the air out across the surface of the card, thus disapating the heat. With the fan on the topside, the air would quickly rise off the surface of the card. well ideally there woul...

I don't know what response time my 5 year old Gatway 15" (DFP) LCD gets but I get no ghosting in Quake 3 when I jerk my guy around really fast while looking at a bright object. I just tried it to be sure. I just put in Snatch and tried to see some DVD ghosting and didn't see it. I am a gamer and I d...

Samsung 172t: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=0&submit=Go&description=172t This one is great, I'm probably going to get one. Notice that this and the other Samsung mentioned have 25ms response time. People talk about ghosting but I'm sure with these high quality monitors on DVI that t...

I just cut two small 2by4s to put under my case. Case makers always manage to sneak in the floor intake on the bottom of the front bezel. Tom - maybe at work it's a little louder so you perceive the Dell to be quieter :) They are very quiet though, I have a Dell at work and I don't think it has a cp...

I just cut out the rear 120mm grill on my SLK3700AMB case like Ralf and Wedge did but I used the Yellow M3 Wiss tin snips :shock: because that's what my dad had. I used a jigsaw and the tin snips on the middle part of the grill to try them both out and I went with the snips. It turned out really wel...

Let us know how you get on MikeK. all right, I will, I still have to wait for my MOBO which I believe hasn't gotten to any stores in North America as of today. We'll see tomorrow. Whether you need the fan or not will depend on the particulars of your case ventilation I will probably have very nice ...

BuiltbyATI Radeon 9800 pro vs. Sapphire Ultimate 9800 Pro
I just bought the built by ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb and now I see in another thread Sapphire's passively cooled Ultimate version. I haven't yet built my system but the video card fan is bound to be one of the louder things in there (but my RAdeon 9000 Pro w/ fan is pretty quiet). What do you think ...

I've wondered this before but this brings it up again, why the hell are GPUs on the bottom of video cards? Those suckers get hot. Also I was wondering, Rusty said if you have the Zalman heatpipe you want the fan pointing at the edge. Isn't the Zalman heatpipe a big enough beast that you wouldn't nee...
