Converting two-slot backplate to one-slot

I'm deciding on going all crazy to get an idea to work. I want to get a PowerColor Go!Green 5750 and convert it to a single-slot (backplate) card. I know I need to hack off half the backplate so it only takes up one slot, but I'll also need to remove one of the DVI-ports. I don't have the card yet, ...

Thanks. If you list the cables (or a kit of winmates + the cable), let me know. I'll order a kit. I'll figure out how to power my stuff (or what to power) later. :P

I have noticed that there are some video card coolers that go on the top side of the video card and some that go on the bottom side. Seems like there should be room for one that open side in the Q07. Throwing in a Thermalright HR-03 has crossed my mind. Then I could put a fan where the PSU was supp...

Nope. Unless you're transferring files between your computer and your xbox, the limiting factor will be your internet speed, which should be way less than 100mbps anyways.

Yes, you will have. The recommendation is usually to set the other Access Point to a channel that differs from the primary router as to not cause issues on the frequency. Just remember to disable DHCP on Access Point.

Thanks! From my understanding, the 32-bit limitation is on addressing all of the available space, thus it should only affect the machine that the hard drives are physically attached to. Seems like it's right. :D

I don't want to hijack your thread, but if you create a partition > 2 TB (using a 64-bit OS or something that can handle it), does Windows XP 32-bit on a separate machine have issues seeing the full size? I know for 32-bit Windows, there's a 2TB limit for drives on the machine itself, but I think th...

Rather than "highly unlikely" I would use word "uncertainly". Some drives write idle spindown timer value to non-volatile memory and remember it after power cycle. It also doesn't matter where you put it as the HDD acts autonomously regarding that feature. I have installed Hitachis to internal IDE ...

I'm thinking about creating a RAID array for WHS using a hardware RAID controller (Intel SRCSAS18E aka LSI MegaRaid). I was wondering the following: 1.)
