I gotta say, those are fantastic temps; what's the ambient temp in Sydney right now? Low 20s? 21c at the moment. Temps seem almost too good to be true don't they. I've taken the overclock off and it's 40c full load. Maybe the temp monitor utilities haven't caught up yet? But it does "seem" to be co...

Just got one.

Using stock cooling, temp read using "core temp"

Slight overclock to 1979mhz (crap motherboard)

42c max load (2 x prime95)
25c idle.

New info!

There is a pirated version of windows XP modified for a usb drive.

It looks like it has EWF (enhanced write filter) from windows XP Embedded. So ALL disk writes are redirected to ram.

So you may want to read up on EWF.

And no, I do not know where to get the above stuff :p

yup, s939 is dead.

But here in oz there was a nice sale of opteron and 4800+ cpus. We being told that after they've being sold there will stop stocking 939.

Just check the shop and there is still some 4800's left @ au$329

I assume she wants some small and unobtrusive speakers. Bose is over priced but passable.

What size room are we talking about.

ps. counter?? Is that in a shop where they put the cash register?

I have an antec Titan and it fits a ninja. Not sure if it's the case for you though. Measures approx 30cm to the pci holder pros. solid steel 120cm exhaust roomy in length cons door unable to mount the PSU upside down Very open front grill lets the HD(and other) noise out http://img148.imageshack.us...

Back on topic !

Brian, windows doesn't work that way. It's not linux. I don't think it will ever chroot

Some other options.
1) Run windows of the CF, Set the temp directories and pagefile to the ramdisk.

2) Run linux off the CF. chroot. Then run windows in vmware off the ramdrive.

Link please.

So Quieter across the board, or at certain load levels?

ps. F me. IT's $120 aussie. $70 cheaper than the 550w S12 .

Great idea,

I still think the zip-tie bolt is easier to use though.

Sell everything and start anew

1 x 500gb disk for windows + misc
4 x 500gb windows raid 5

Intel Allendale e6200
Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 (6 sata connectors)

Scythe Ninja

2gig of ram

Add a hefty seasonic PSU

large case like the stacker or the nine hundred

viola, all the points above

What case are you using Nick?
From the picture it looks like it has only 1 x 80mm exhaust fan. Does it have space for another 80mm?

kogi

I got a new vid card and Can't decide
It's a gecube X850pro gold edition.
Which will give me the quietest operation.
I've only got 1 x 7v 120 panaflo as system exhaust.

Arctic Cooling ATI 5 Rev 2
Exhausts heat out the back

Quieter fan?

1. Am I wrong about being able to run two serially connected fans at 6V? Your correct. two identical fans in serial will be 6v each 2. Is there a reason why it would be a bad idea to use the motherboard connector for this (e.g. risk of damage to the MB)? I think that the MB fan headers have a max 1 ...

This drive is quieter than my 2504 in idle and seek.
But this has a weird intermittent whine/buzz that is very soft but totally unexplainable.
It's louder than idle hum but softer than the seek noise. inaudiable from more than a foot away so I've ignored it.

Antec Titan?

Yep, From my experience, papst fans hate pwm fan control.

kogi

This card will be my pci-e replacment when it arrives in australia.

I figure I could macgyver a 80mm panaflo onto the heatsink and it will be all it needs.

kogi

I'd love a mac. But price would be a sticking point for me.

In Australian Dollars
20" imac, 2 gig ram, 500 gig hd = $3,568.99

My current x2 3800, same specs, w/dell 2405 screen, didn't cost nearly as much.

kogi

How come your bust speed is so high?

My SP2504C w/aam
8mb zones
ave. read 60.3 mb/ss
burst speed: 129 mb/s


kogi

Very happy with my 2 x SP2504C's. They are suspended in an antec titan case. I think turning on AAM actually did decrease the seek noise with mine.

kogi

I have one, Nice and roomy. The hard drives face the right way. Be aware though, it's a very DEEP case.

kogi

Whats wrong with the Scyth Ninja?
I've had both xp-120 and the ninja. Prefer the ninja in terms of fit and performance

AntecRep, Do you know if the ones that will be for sale in Australia will have the rust problem fixed? Also can we get your excellent service over there from our suppliers? And while I got your attention. Can I tell from the box what revision the titan 550 is. I need the one that is fixed to fit nor...

Hey Pony-tail
