Thank you all for the help i really appreciate it! The main reason for the upgrade is i recently got into Vanguard: saga of heroes and it is an absolute resource hog, and my fear is that 1 8800gtx alone still won't be enough to run it at native res, even at medium graphical settings. As it is...

Hello everyone, my current system consists of a DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR, and a 4400+ X2 with 2gb ram. Will this combo with the addition of a psu upgrade be able to handle 8800gtx sli or do i have to take the plunge and build a whole new rig? Also, they will be pushing a 30" apple cinema...

Hello everyone, i currently have a DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR Expert mobo with an sli 7800gtx setup. I am looking to upgrade to an sli 8800gtx setup and just wanted to know if that requires full 16x pci-e bandwidth on both channels to run or if 8x on each pci-e channel would be sufficient...

Bump! anyone?? please.

Hi all, i have an external 60gb firewire hard drive formatted with the NTFS file system which has my whole mp3 collection on it. My question is, how would i mount this drive for read only support as i know write support for NTFS is very flakey in linux and i cannot afford to lose the data on...

Welp, today was the test, and it failed miserably! I hooked it all up, with the bare minimum, pc+monitor+waterpump, unplugged the unit from the wall, and with a volt meter watched the battery voltage. With no load the battery was at 12.48v, but as soon as the ups was switched over it dropped to...

I can help ya with that :). Creative is a real b*tch when it comes to their drivers.. here is a link to the win2k audigy drivers, i posted them on my webserver for you strait off the audigy cd :). tell me if you need anything else. http://members.cox.net/touser3/audigy drivers.rar

Thank you for the info Jerboy, I appreciate it, but i have decided not to put the battery outside, it will be sitting under my desk in a plastic box. I have determined that the gasses being released by it on only a trickle charge will not be enough to cause any harm to anything, and if the power...

Thanks for the reply's again everyone, Jerboy, my ups is only 350va, but i think what i may end up doing is also having my normal battery charger that i have for it always connected to it on a trickle charge, thus taking all the load off of the ups.., and since it would only be a trickle charge...

Thank you for all the reply's everyone, it is appreciated. arcas, the reason for me that this is not overkill is the ups doesn't just backup one system, it backs up 3 of them, and my main rig is watercooled so it has to run a 317gph pump and has 8 fans, 4 80mm,4 120mm, and a 19" monitor, in my...

Thanks for that info cot, one question though, where would i get one of these marine battery boxes with fuses? thanks again everyone for the help!

well, since the fumes seem to be the biggest concern, what if i where to put the battery itself outside my bedroom window in a shady area and run a line from it to my ups? my window is less then 5 feet away :).

Thank you for the reply arcas i appreciate it! my ups only has one battery, so it seems ok in that area, and no the battery is not sealed..one question comes to mind though, i do not want the fumes from the battery in my room, and as you said, i dont want to place it on the carpet, so would it...

Hi all, i have a 120 Amp Hour/850MCA deep cycle marine battery lying around, and i was thinking to myself "isn't there a way to hook this thing up to my APC for some insane uptime in a power outtage?" My question is, can i do this? The battery is brand new, but i don't know if it is going to...
