I'm using good pc fans, Panaflo and the magnetic bearing types. I am just running them outside an enclosure with grilles to cool the motors. I have a kingwin hard drive kit to run internal hard drives via USB which has a molex ac adapter. For reasons unknown to me, it'll run a hdd but won't...

Looking for info or recommendations on an external (regular household plug) power supply to run a couple PC fans (since i already have a bunch) to cool some motors on rock tumblers. Likely 3-4 80mm, maybe a 120? Needs to be safe though, running 24/7 in a garage or attic that gets hot in...

I'd say his employees (handlers and security) failed to control the cameras. Not him. Admit it... if YOU were a young carefree prince in Vegas...........

Since last time I did this, there's a lot more programs out there and I can't remember what I used. I'm moving my vista install from a SATA1 160gb to a SATA2 640gb. Different brand and model. I don't want to reinstall windows, just clone my install and everything off the drive over to the new...

Silly and hopefully simple request, I had my .ico file from the root directory of my onetouch 4 drive get corrupted. Annoying because this is the little picture that shows up in windows explorer with a little picture of the actual drive... If someone has this drive and has the original file...

Looks good to me. Going to give that a try... it's a silicon image chipset so I don't figure it'll have any problems. Probably just a no-name reference design. Thanks for the input from everyone.

Thanks for the replies! Basically, I only need port multiplying to enable 2 drives with one eSATA cable. The enclosure I have (VANTEC NST-400MX-SR) has two drives in one enclosure. Plugging it in with USB shows both drives, but in order to use eSATA, the SATA port must support multiplying...

I need a SATA addon card (preferably PCI-express) that has an e-sata port that supports port multiplying... as the mobo I ordered does not support it. I have found some on Newegg, but they tend to be in the $70+ range. I don't need it to support any RAID or JBOD functions, just port...

This board comes so highly recommended by the Anandtech guides, I find it hard to consider anything else. However, I cannot find information on whether the SATA ports support port multiplying. I have an external enclosure with 2 hard drives in it, which I would like to use E-SATA with...

I am looking to pick up 2 1TB WD green drives to replace my 2 500gb drives. I've decided to make both drives external, and was intrigued by the dual-enclosure offerings of Vantec/Kingwin/etc. However, I just read a review that might have clouded what I thought was an understanding of the...

Right, but the rebates will be expiring before the purchase date. The corsair RAM rebate expires on 1/16, and the video card one expires on the 31st, which will probably be before the tax rebate gets to me ;)

Thanks for the quick feedback Blain. I was somewhat iffy on the processor choice, seeing as how the Q8200 and Q6600 are the same price. The articles/threads I read debating the two left me pretty undecided. Thanks for the advice on that, I have updated the build to reflect the Q8200. As for...

Thanks everyone for looking at this, I am doing my first major overhaul since around 2004. Going to use the tax check for this, so purchase date is early February. Hopefully the Phenom II will be driving prices down between then and now, but this is what I have so far: 1. This PC will be...

thanks for this post BlueAcolyte. It's been about 5 years since i've done a system overhaul and the FSB speeds were messing with my head. That cleared it up as to which I need. Have yourself a virtual beer on me :)

Since this data capping started this month for us Comcast customers (especially the ones who dont have other broadband choices here other than AT&T), I'd like to start a thread for those of us who get shut off for going over 250gb. I'm interested primarily to know if they try to charge us a...
