    SCSI termination ?

    Ok, I got conflicting responses; Alkemyst said "The drive should have a termination jumper" but Bacillus said "using a U160 hdd then you'll have to put an active terminator at the end of the cable as the hdd itself will not have a termination jumper! " I found this on IBM's site "Since LVD...

    Vinyl Dye

    I used some vinyl dye i bought from Pep Boys, it looks great. the only problem i had was that it scratches off somewhat easier than I would like. I wound up putting an acrylic clearcoat on after to fix it.

    how to remove heatsink/fan from gf3?

    Putting my card in the freezer wasn't quite enough, I had to the turn a can of compressed air upside down and spray the heat sink to freeze it some more. Then a careful twisting motion should do the trick.

    Looking for software to perform same function as http://www.anonymizer.com

    I think anonamizer is a proxy server. There is free proxy software available such as proxomitron, but I don't think that paticular one will run as a remote server. You should be able to find a free proxy program for both windows and linux that will do what you want.

    Sound Damping materials... effective?

    I bought a can of spray on rubber liner, like the stuff in truck beds, and covered the inside of my case. It helped a some with quieting things like the hard drives and CPU fan, but the fans that are mounted to a hole in the case can still be heard.

    Passive video card cooling?

    I noticed many people were recomending the Zalman heat sinks, and I would agree but DO NOT use the epoxy that comes with it. I put this epoxy on my northbridge, gpu and ramchips, THEY ALL FELL OFF IN 2 WEEKS. Note: Yes, I have used various epoxies before.

    system monitor programs

    Thanks nothingman that is the xp version of the program I am looking, for I'm sure I'll wind up using it. The new version doesn't seem to have as many variables to monitor and looks rather bloated. The 98 version was just a couple of clean line graphs that i ran at startup and docked at the...
