Buy and core 2 and under volt it? Shouldn't price factor in as well? Will you save more buying mobile variants even though the desktop ones will have more power usage?

And a side note x264 > divX or AVC > ASP (for general cases).

Given a peltier of adequate power(?), the component to be cooled can maintain temperatures below ambient. Exhaust heat may be an issue, but it will cool better (at least in certain parts of the system). People rarely use peltiers on CPU's these days because you'd need a rather large one to be able t...

Peltier's can be used to generate electricity as well and have been around for ages, but I've yet to seen one used for that purpose (I don't think they're internally reversible anyway). I don't see the difference between a peltier and this "Thermal chip." Waste heat recovery sounds rather attractive...

Seeing as the thermal conductivity of iron is 72 W/mC while Al's is 220 W/mC and 386 W/mC for Cu, perhaps you'd be better off with a passive transmission cooler (Al).

But I suppose it's massive size makes up for a lot.

If we get to keep the copyright it may be worth it... all you have to do then is sing their praises when you get your case back (even if you don't want to).

You could place dry ice in water, but make sure to have the windows open, or some very good airflow (even for plain dry ice). I believe what you're seeing with dry ice is actually water condensing nearby, it may not be the best thing to use, but your parts probably run hot enough to withstand some h...

I said a non-axial, quiet fan.

And a new round begins....

welcome to stellar realms!

I know we spoke in game, I doubt you'll get much done this round (other then getting aquainted with the game).

do come back for the next round and we'll show you how spcr gets things done

good question

Anyway I'm back this round. If you can find my planet you're blind

Did SR like die?

I registered.

I also have hosting again (for at least a year), but does SR still put out stats? (I haven't checked ohmm's old page).

I'm having basically the same experiance as Rusty. Though it seems to have improved a lot in the past week or so.

Any timeouts were very short (refreshing almost always remedied this).

This new project intruiges me.

current time shows we're going for 400 years. Is this just an error?

Eitherway my sucky slump continues.

All the server troubles really screwed me up (from not being able to log in to the DB issues.

I don't think I'll be doing to great this round.

I am sad to announce that the server I was hosting the stats page on has crashed and the admin in charge of it and the project I was working on (which is how i got the space), will be moving to a new server. However, there is no eta or garuntee that I will have hosting again. I'm guessing Ohmm's pag...

Sounds like a plan to me, even though I'm doing better then I usually do.

But what if something that will be continued is borked? I don't see a reason in tanking the round for that. Just stall it untill he finishes.

Turns started turning again yesterday according to the analyst report.

Is SR down for any one else? I haven't been able to acess it since this morning.

I don't think overclocking would cause the same error twice.

what was teh cause if it wasn't the population a few spcr members have been doling out?

Yes it's quite addicting, but this time I've promised my self not spend too much time on it.

Be sure toe read some of the noobie help stuff that's been posted.

I"m back as Dryfire (origional isn't it? ) on the planet simple design.

The stats page migrations are complete. When teh round starts I will make the announcement in forums.

If this comes in black it will probably be my next case. Noe please make a black version

Well I created the account. rbrobka you have pm.

edit: Maybe now I'll have multiple groupies and perhpas a fanpage.

Direct admin lets me set a cron job so I'm assuming that I can. I'll create an account with with 50 MB's of disk space and 5 gigs of transfer (I have a reseller account). I'll pm you the details, if you're willing to do the setup (I'm clueless). that'll have to wait untill the mornig as it's time fo...

I don't know if i do or do not. Nor do I know where to check.

I'm pretty much web illiterate, except for html which i taught myself in like 1996. I do know some visual basic and C++ though.

Ohmm I think i could host it. I"ve got about 500mb free and about 40gb's of transfer a month I don't use. But I know almost nothing about coding. I'll setup a small account if you want for you to transfer all the files over if you wouldn't mind. Just let me know what you need. As for my admirier, I'...

I was going to attaack someone and hopefully launch myself intothe top 10 then I was attacked by thamailion (or whatever his name was) and atlantis. I only need like 10,000 prestige before the attacks to make it. The massive jump we had was the time when i was planning to build a lot of ships to hav...

Publius is a mercenary (who was just hired by Korriban after I wiped out most of his fleet). He gained prestige from attacking me but he could only rid me of FSDs, so his head should hang in shame. well I finished the wipping of his planet. It seems he pissed off another one of my ally's. I though ...

Of course I'd never attack Ohmm.

burcakb - not to worry those 3 are my allies. come to think of it I"m allied to the entire top 10.

the only people I can really attack are zikkix and coniferous fu.
