    Cryptocoin Mining?

    For those of us with dedicated mining box you can easily increase the mhash. Easily reach over 400 for the 5870 and close to 400 with 5850 (the sapphire ones at least). Just modify the video card bios (although test it good though). I notice that the xfx ones are not as stable when you pushed...

    All right, I'm wanting to buy a new CPU. I've been doing the live search a few times now and no love. Can someone show how its suppose to look like? I went all the way to BIN and click buy but didn't click the "Commit to buy" because I don't see any 30 percent anywhere. I'm afraid to...

    Software for your movie collection (web based)

    I've been messing with videodb and from what I can see, its pretty impressive. I wonder if anyone else use it and know similar softwares that might be better? From my google search I don't see many. The only problem I'm having with videodb is the fact that I can't stream large video files...

    Server boards that accepts desktop memory.

    So I'm interested in a PCI-X card and looking around, I can only find PCI-X slots on server board unless I'm mistaken. Now looking at a board like this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/...?Item=N82E16813151172) I see that the manual say only unbuffered ECC memory. But when I look at supported...

    I got in on the previous deal and have been using it for a bit now. I am using it as a secondary one (dual monitors). My other one (main) is the gateway FPD2485W. I gotta say quality is darn good for the price. No issues at all and overall very sweet. Dual monitors is the way to go if anyone...

    long range wireless network

    Thanks for the reply. One of my friend wants me to try his cantenna.. I don't think its going to work at all but I guess I'll give it a try. Nobody else has run into a problem like mine? Any other kits I could buy perhaps? Most of them out there are pretty spendy. Tim

    long range wireless network

    I have a rather large file server built and I would like to share it across some of my family members. The closest family member is my mother. She lives about a mile and a half away from my house. The house where I live and hers has pretty easy to shoot and target but there are plenty of...

    Cheap web hosting 2GB/20GB/MySQL/PHP/cPanel/Fantastico

    If your host own your domain they can use some really mean tactics to keep signing up with them. Or they'll make it a pain in the ass for you to transfer. Please just be smart and buy your own domain. I've just seen way too many situations where this kind of heavy handedness is used.

    My first server build

    Hi MichaelD I work in a small datacenter so the connection won't be a bottleneck. I'm allowed to plug in a system at the work place as one of the benefit.

    My first server build

    Thanks guys. For the HDs senario, I will be using raid 10. I have a very nice raid card already bought which isn't included in this budget. I will raid 4 160 gigs SATA drives. In both of the choices I have, there are 4 harddrives already. I think the the I/O part of the section should...

    My first server build

    I'm building a server mainly to host forums so I'm going for fast I/O and mucho ramo. I'm at a path where I'm not exactly sure which direction I want to take. I've created 2 different sets on newegg. Before you take a look know that I already have a case for it and a nice raid card...

    Are all PCI-X 3.3v?

    I recently got my hands on an Adaptec Serial ATA II RAID 2420SA 4 port PCI-X card. In the requirement it asks for "Intel or AMD architecture with available 64-bit 3.3v PCI-X slot" This is the Mobo I'm getting http://www.newegg.com/Product/...p?item=N82E16813151061 My question is, is the...

    Some Civil Engineering questions.

    It seems a bit of a stretch posting these questions here. I'm hoping that there are some civil engineers on this forum. Its worth a try. Anyway this isn't a homework question. More like seeking some advice. Basically my group has to build a theoretical bridge over a creek. What we've...

    I want to build a storage system

    Ummm I just found a nicer solution. I can pick me up one of these barebone systems http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=151611 and just stuff 4 IDEs in there. I wish I can afford SCSI but its just not feasible for me. I'm not really putting important info in...

    I want to build a storage system

    I've seen them.. well and I lost a link to them .. but they're too expensive. It's probably cheaper to get a server case and get a mobo and install it that way. Won't the SCSI drives be really expensive? I'm not really concern with speed. I just need storage.

    I want to build a storage system

    Since those IDE and SATA drives are so cheap, like 115 for a 300 gig as a normal price, I was thinking of building myself a storage server/case. I was looking at what options I have. I don't really want one where it'll have its own boot motherboard chip etc. I was wondering if there's...

    Anyone remember some of the new materials created recently?

    Hey thanks. It all sounds a bit too complicated for this but I'll make it easy I guess. Do you know any real world items or things we use that goes thru this process? What I mean is 2 different type of items that have the same exact materials in them but yet because of the different...

    Anyone remember some of the new materials created recently?

    I was wondering if anyone remember some of the really cool new materials being created. Last I remember was a new metal created by an Isreali company that is suppose to be extremely hard but I can't recall where I got it from. There was also this one other material that they're making from...

    Is there a remote access program that I have more control over?

    You misunderstand. What I mean is just putting their IP in and connnecting doesn't work since there are too many things in the middle. Alot of them offer some kind of service where I paid their server to put some kind of ID on a computer and I access them directly thru that ID.

    Is there a remote access program that I have more control over?
