Im building a new workstation with a dual opeteron 248 setup on the tyan k8w motherboard. My question is, of the 3 chips in the chipset which, if any, run hot? I am watercooling the system, and want to know how many chipset blocks to buy. In pictures, I have seen a heatsink on the 51 and 31, and...

The mylex cards are ultra160, not 320, but they got some nice looks 320 cards there as well...

Lol yea, good call :) My board has pci-x 133mhz slots, if that helps.

Hi, on a new workstation im building I'm going to be setting up a small-mid sized scsi ultra320 raid. I figured adaptec was the best way to go for the controller, but I am a SCSI noob and a bit confused. In one category, titled "SCSI RAID" there is one card that looks interesting, the 2120S...

ok thanks, but it shouldnt be a problem, im water cooling the system

Thanks, I agree it shuold be ok

Hello, I am about to buy a dual processor board, specifically the Tyan K8W (less you guys recommend a better one with pci-x and 8x agp hehe) as I need to be able to run multiple graphic and cpu intensive applications simultaneously on one system. This version of the board is not a standard ATX...

yea, but i wanted least 18inch view, thats ok though i think ill go with the 2001FP, thanks all for the help

thanks for the info, but I just checked the specs on the CML200B (equivalent size/resolution to the dell) and it has a 25ms responce. Wouldn't this make ghosting more apparent, or is that not such a big factor as ppl claim. That dell looks nice though :)

I'm looking for the best gaming/overall use LCD screen with at least 18inch viewable (more is ok). I know there are a lot of reviews on these things, but I find it odd that the reviews always rate the LCDs poorly yet users like many them. The price is not a huge concern to me, id spend up to...

I work at circuit city. All rumors are true, they fired the entire commission workforce except for 4 people in my location (which is one of the biggest there is). They then distributed all the hourly people to cover all of the department. I got a raise :)

for your information, the 82 cfm sunon IS a tornado. Sunon is the OEM provider for Vantec Tornado fans, Vantec just relables them. Its basicly the same fan w/o the warranty, grill, and fancy box/label.

hmm. That would work, but ill pass, good if you dont have a custom fan speed controller yet

im debating. The point of speed control is so i can sleep with the comp on. How will i sleep with 4 glaring red lights, id rather they be dim :)
