... I'll leave you with some great quotes from Margaret Thatcher ... (followed by neverending vomit) And I shall be grateful if you won't return to this thread anymore. Margaret Thatcher (Prime Minister 1979 - 1990) favoured the upper class. She ruined the NHS and was contra Unions. No.3 on the lis...

Thanks, just tried it but get several error messages, like driver was not digitally signed and ...



Never mind ..

... I suppose that for an extra 50W or so could get you quite a decent video card ... Afaik you must not max out the PSU .. at least not over a longer period of time. To have headroom seems to be very important for efficiency and stability. ... People don't bother to undervolt for power consumption...

Hi Spare Tire, I have chosen that PC case because I prefer a tower style. Meaning, I had chosen it by the look. Although I was lurking for the M350 case .. maybe next time. By the way, I have put everything into the case now .. for the time being. You really have to be very patient when putting ever...

Hi Croddie, actually I'm a very pationate gamer. There are some games that really rock my boat. Because the on board graphics isn't strong enough for most games, I have decided the following. One system (mATX) with descrete graphics card for playing PC games and the Mini iTX one for doing everything...

Hi, yes ... I'm still wondering too, haha

Had written an eMail to CaseKing (local retailer) and they recommended either of the following:

1. AC Ryan Meshx FanGuard 120x120mm Lüfter - black
2. Alumino Fan Filter 120mm - black

Sorry, but what question is that ? What does a password do ?

Take a guess ...

Doh ? Doh !


Lucky are those who are able to use Google

8 GB of RAM ...

Hi Nutball .. (or nutball ?), I am going to open a new SFF thread in a few minutes.
There will be pictures ..

WD10EADS = 68.49 Euro ~ $ 96.34 ~ £ 58.44
Intel X25-M 80GB = 199.90 Euro ~ $ 281.22 ~ £ 170.55

Hi, you are right. It's the WD10EADS and the weight is 630 g.
If you hold both drives in your hand, the HDD feels suddenly soooo heavy.

Not only the difference in size is huge, but also the weight ... 730 g vs 80 g !!

In your dreams. Hi, I know that the UK is a country full of relentless, die-hard people, unwilling to adapt. As this subject is discussed throughout our country, there are avalanches of daily updated information on the net. But to follow that, you'd need to speak my language. Not only seem the numb...

Hi, I wrote an email to our local PC case retailer CaseKing, and they confirmed to expect stock of the red version from 21st August.
Sorry, but I have no information reg availibility of the silver model.

I received that silver anodized case from a Lian Li production manager, as part of a business deal.
As far as I know, this model does not come in silver (yet).

However, these pics are from their website: ... Link 1 / Link 2 / Link 3

Although I'd prefer the 4770, aparently there is a shortened GF 9800 from Zotac existing. It doesn't need a 6-Pin power connector. http://hardwarenews.aazzp.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/zotac_geforce_9800gt_eco_1.jpg Ordered one of Intel's new gen SSDs before my retailer run out of stock.

This is complete nonsense IMO. Encouraging unemployment, which IMO this is, is another. Encouraging unemployment ? Excuse me, who are you to decide about other people's lifes ? It's not my business what you decide to do and how you structure your life. And so it's none of your business how other pe...

... Something given has no value. Worth (in numbers) is relative to perceived value. Something given has no value ? You mean something given for free has no value ?

Hi, I just checked with CrystalDiskMark the performance of my 40GB Seagate Barracude 7.200 ... http://www.abload.de/img/crystalmarkhe6m.png And here is the result of Intel's 2nd gen SSD drive. Someone who just bought it, tested it straight away ... http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/3778/intelssd80g...

I very much like the idea to use a small 80GB SSD for the system (OS and office, etc.) And for my vids, mp3s and stuff I just continue using my Terrabyte HDD. Dedicated for data storage only. This way I'd feel relaxed enough to sit back and wait 1 year or more until SSDs prices (& more performance) ...

erkan, you system begs for more ? LOL, that was a very funny expression ! I just imagine my PC would say: "Please Michael, please ! Give me something to do ... I feel so bored !" I would then reply: "I'm busy right now, get lost !" Hahaha ... Regarding the power consumption of the CPU ... if the Qua...

Have just ordered my new parts last night ... finally ... http://www.abload.de/img/hohorderx6qh.jpg Well, I would have prefered 2 x 4 GB module over 2 x 2 GB ones, but they don't seem to be in stock anywhere. Then, I'm gonna build the 140 mm fan from Scythe into the front pane of the PC case. Only p...

Hi, first I checked what the difference between full size and half size PCI cards are. Wikipedia explains all about the PCI standard, but I got really confused about the other de-facto (sub) standards. Been lead to a PCI FAQ site which covers many interesting questions, but it did not enlighten me r...
