Is it just me, or does that case look really *long*, like from front to back. It looks really big on the inside.

I was under the impression that the fact that a HS does not get hot usually means it is not getting proper contact with the chip. The passive sink on my A7N8X (stock sink) gets pretty friggin hot even at 166, and I always take that as "Hey, its doing its job, getting the heat off the chip and into t...

The OEM panaflo is rated to 0.2A; the retail one at 0.24A - this suggests that the OEM is a less powerful version. Maybe the blade design makes up for it but I doubt it. The OEM version probably has an inferior airflow. That's kind of a rash statement based simply on the Amperage and no practical k...

Anyone that likes that case has tapioca for brains! :D ;) In Homer-voice: Mmmm , tapioca...... *Drool* MikeR... No need for insults... Your *opinion* is that you do not like this case, which is perfectly fine. But you have no right to insult those that do like it. So CORK it! Uhh whatever. Way to r...

Here's another link: LINK How does the Creative Slix relate to the SS51? The Creative Slix is a Home Theater PC marketed by Creative Labs. The device is near identical to the Shuttle SS51 with the exception of the front face-plate which features Creative Slix branding, and a clear color. More inform...

uhh, link? Pic? description? I know I can google search for it, but geez.

EDIT: Here's the link: http://www.slixpc.com/

Looks like a Shuttle XPC to me. That heatpipe is cool, but it is generally considered here that the PSU fan is way too loud and not replaceable.

Maybe they will stock it at best buy, so we can all take a "real" look at it.

I certainly wouldn't remove the Dynamat. It definitely isn't *causing* noise or any other harm, other than tons of weight. Maybe a layer of paxmate on Dynamat would make an effective barrier. Paxmate is really cheap.

Basically that is what the Acoustipack product is. A heavy layer on bottom, with a couple different softer layers to take out the other end of the spectrum. Really any solution will have to cover the spectrum to be completely effective.

Will these things hold a wire fan grill in place along with the fan? Not by themselves. You have to modify them by drilling a small hole in them and using a small self-tapping screw and a flat washer to screw the fan guard onto the isolators. It's a pain in the butt. I used mine to hold a wire fan ...

I bought the -AB for my father-in-law and I distinctly remember it having front USB ports.

Yeah it works with every version of FAH, as long as you can type in a path to the log file, its good to go.

Less than a meter for me. Probably the loudest thing now is the Hydor L20 pump, sitting on foam. And that's pretty quiet. Also the sound of the 120mm pushing air across the radiator is a little bit.

Only difference in the 3.25 is the _forceasm flag sticks for all WU's, used to only work on the first one since program start

Buddabing

and how exactly do you use -foreasm and -advmethods?

IF you use the graphical program, edit the "target" or path for the shortcut and make it look like so:

Well it had to happen. Its hard to be the biggest computer maker in the US and have the best service. I think they are mutually exclusive.

... and if you check the Dell forums you will see I'm not alone on this. LOL, I just went over to the Dell forums and did a highly scientific, empirical study. I typed in the word loud and hit search . 7,452 posts have been logged in the Dell forums that have the word loud in the topic. In the topi...

Yeah, that's kind of weird. A couple of the PC's here on the network get a little hung up on the firewall. They still send their units in, and I know I get credit for them, but they don't get deleted from the queue.dat file. Not all of them do this, obviously. Its some kind of 2-way communication pr...

Here's what folding power looks like:

All gromacs, baby.

If you use Nero, I think you can set the CD-R not to eject when finished.

I put the LED's on my Rheobus, then dimmed it down to 3-4V. Just a little light now

FUll blast, those things are blinding. Plus, my office is off my bedroom, and I would get this scary glow from there at night when I leave my PC on.

Maybe it keeps the processor too busy to fux up the mouse

miker: i see you have an asetek waterchill system - I'm about to buy one but i'm planning on fitting it to an abit nf7-s instead of an asus a7n8x (because it's cheaper) - however i heard that the standard cpu waterblock (like the one in your pictures above) won't fit on an nf7-s, and a different mo...

I would say the NB32J would be better. I think the NB47J was trimmed a little to help it fit better on some mobos.

Some of those HDD magnets, especially the older ones, are freakishly strong. You could use one to attach your cat to the fridge :) You make that statement with an uncomfortable amount of conviction. Hmmm....just what makes you so sure of that miker?? http://www.burnatonce.com/forums/html/emoticons/...

Yep, 3/8" ID Tygon. Yeah, it's cramped alright. I don't really leave the side off, so I couldn't care less

I do intend to go back in and shorten the longer tubes. Some are just long cuase I was paranoid about filling it while in the case....

Gromacs are the newer WU's that use the enhanced SSE instructions for the PII, P4, and Athlon procs. Tinkers don't use as many optimizations, and tend to be slower and many less points/hour. One interesting thing I found is that the points are calculated by how long it takes a Celeron 400(i think?) ...

Well I can attest that 2 days ago I was processing 13 tinkers and 1 Gromacs WU, now I am processing 13 Gromacs and 1 tinker.
