One Seagate 200GB SATA in my case, plus one external WD 40GB to swap files between my computer and my laptop.

Perhaps Nomad News is what you're looking for. I'm not using this program so I can't comment. Like Beyonder and many users, Google Groups is what I'm using. Nomad News is supposed to be a good newsreader according to the reviews, and it handles alt.binaries newsgroups and yEnc.

If you could find a Windows XP Pro CD (not a Corporate version but a retail or OEM version), it's possible to reinstall the OS using the CD Key provided by HP. The recovery CD normally reinstalls the OS and all the default applications. The last time I saw an HP recovery CD, there was no i386 forder...

Nexus is now offering a HDD cooler called the "Frizzbee Hard disk Cooler" . It's supposedly inaudible but I'm a bit skeptical. It uses a 60mm fan (sleeve bearing) @ 1500 RPM, an Nexus claims that the noise level is below 15 dBA. If it's true, it could be a good complement to HDD suspension, but 15 d...

There's also a good article on Behardware : Close Encounters of the Third Kind: SED [...] In fact, SED seems to be the natural son of TFT and CRT monitors. It combines the thinness of the first and the qualities of the second and improves them. Like cathode-ray tube TVs, SED technology is based on t...

The first thing you should do is to turn off the automatic restart feature. Your computer reboots on startup because of a BSOD, and Windows is by default configured to reboot your computer when this occurs. In the control panel, double-click on the "System" icon, then, under the "Advanced" tab, clic...

Sounds like the perfect complement to the Kitty keyboard (Keyboard Independent Touch Typing Technology)

Two days ago, I spent a good 30 minutes to figure out why the Internet was not working... This computer was infected and I had to manually clean it outside Windows. When I tried to go on the Internet after the system was cleaned, it didn't work... Thinking that I've missed something, I ran WinsockXP...

If you have a SATA HDD, you could try to change the "write caching and safe removal" settings in the device manager. In the device manager, double-click on your HDD to access its properties, then under the "Policies" tab, make sure that "Optimize for quick removal" is selected. By default, the other...

Zalman offers an optional aluminium VGA RAM waterblock (ZM-RWB1) that is compatible with GeForce 7800/7900 and ATI X1800/X1900 cards. If you really want to watercool the RAM on your ATI card, this will do the trick, but it will also restrict the water flow a bit. I don't know if the X1900 RAM really...

Leadtek is about to release a fanless 7600GT which doesn't take up an extra slot. I saw this card on Matbe (translated) , but couldn't find it on the Leadtek website. According to Matbe, this card will be on the market in a few days for around 150 euros. Here are two pictures of that card: http://ww...

PC Perspective wrote an article about 3 Thermalright coolers: the HR-01 , the XP-120 and the Ultra-120 . They were trying to find out if the HR-01, which is designed for passive cooling, was better than the XP-120 and the Ultra-120. They tested the HR-01 with, and without a Thermalright 120mm fan d...

Madshrimps reviewed and compared 6 chipset coolers, including the new Zalman and Thermalright coolers. A nForce4 SLI motherboard, an Athlon 64 3200+ (Winchester), a Geforce 6600GT, and a Zalman CNPS 7000-Cu were used for this roundup. Here are the contenders: Zalman ZM-NBF47 Thermalright HR-05 Cool...

Black part will be anodised aluminium. I'd guess the black section is a two-pass radiator, the water flows along the bottom , up the opposite side and returns along the top (or vice versa). That photo does make it look like it's just the tube, but the pump connections are unclear, and what would be...

I have an Antec Phantom 350, and I'm using a Zalman Reserator for my watercooling... With this setup, and an undervolted Nexus 120mm fan, my computer is almost silent at any load!
