    Keeping dust out of computer case

    Best thing to use is go to Home depot and get one AC filter, it will come in one large sheet or mesh and cut it to fit the size of the opening. Now this material is less restrictive and will keep out the larger dust particals but not the really fine dust that will accumulate over time. I sitll...

    Water Wetter and Tygon tubing

    Yeh I am glad I went with Primoflex, UV reactive green. $1 a foot. This tubing is really easy to work with and bend really tight without kinking.

    ASUS V9999GT 256

    Asus believes that 2 power connector will make the card more stable and might get you higher overclocks but I think that only applies if you use a real good quality power supply in the first place. I never heard of Demon ps but I hope its a good one.

    Best place for HD fans?

    Most hard drives will stay cool with just some direct air flow. I would just get a 80 mm fan and mount it somewhere so it can blow over the top of the hard drive. It don't hwve to be alot of air either to keep the noise down, the top of hard drives act as a heatsink, and as long as you have...

    Can unlocking a 6800nu be detected if RMA'ed?

    He don't have to flash the bios to unlocked the pipes, thats why everyone is using Rivatuner and you can undo it if you get artifacts. I don't believe they can tell if you softmod your card using Rivatuner and then undo it if you have to send it in for RMA. Second, if your ATI X800 dies...

    2 Frustrating problems with my system since new video card.

    So if you put your old card back in, everything works ok? This might be a long shot but try your system by removing the sound card. If it happens to work ok without the sound card, then try the card in different pci slot. At the worst case, you might just have a bad vid card.
