Re: buy later?
A question for the Macheads here: Does it make sense to wait till the "middle of the year" when tiger (OSX 10.4) comes out and buy the Mac Mini with this improved OS? Thanks. If you wait awhile for Tiger, you'll get it for free instead of $100. I'm not guessing any changes will be done for awhile, ...

Anyway, only 2 USB ports are embarrasing, you use one for keyboard/mouse, and then you got one left... Every Mac keyboard has two ports on it as well. Plus, have you never used a hub? Yeah but on the other hand there's no keyboard included!! :wink: A hub???!? What's that?? :lol: Come on, even most ...

Buy. Reformat. Windows XP. Can you say, HTPC/Basic Workstation? ;P Mac OSX performs most computing tasks better than Windows XP, with the exception of gaming. Creative (as much as they suck) and other companies offer USB2 sound cards, with 7.1 digital output. VLC for Mac will play pretty much anyth...

Undampened, yes. Covered in PaxMate or similar, no. Think of it this way. A bb leaves a bb gun at around 200mph. If you shoot a bb at a wall, it bounces off. What would a truck traveling at 200mph do to the same wall? Crash right through. It's helpful to think of high and low frequency sound waves a...

Having used both a Northwood core Pentium 4 2.4C HT 800 and an AMD Athlon XP 2500+ on my current setup, I will tell you that HyperThreading works much better in everyday tasks than it does on the charts and graphs. Going from two very similar CPUs, the same amount of ram, and the same everything els...

The stats are in the MyRigs link in my signature. In addition to what's posted there, I will be overclocking to approximately 3.6GHz and running the BH5 at 3.0V+. Right now I have 2x120mm SilentAcoustica fans on resistors, one 90 on a variable resistor on the XP90, and one super-low rpm fan sitting...

Future silent Voodoo 5 5500 AGP project
I'm a big fan of silent computing, and have built a decent little machine for myself. I don't do much gaming, that's what the XBox, PS2 and GameCube are for. However, I do play a number of older, obsolete games. A few examples are Quake II, Counter-Strike, NIRA, and some others. I currently use a Ch...
