    So I've got this 37gb scsi drive with suse linux on it. I just put it into a windows 2000 server machine. Am I wrong in thinking that windows will not recognize this drive? I know it was formatted with a non-windows native file system. How can I format the drive so I can use it in windows...

    Here's one for ya

    So I rma'd my motherboard and just got it back today. I hooked everything back up almost identical to the way it was before. Note: I'm doubt I'm using the same power connectors on the same devices before the rma. The other change was that I added a mobile hdd rack to the system. Having said...

    Think I could get away with this?

    Think I could remove/disable the fan on this Geforce4MX without any overheating issues? Before I take flack about having a GF4MX, it's my aunt's computer I built several years ago for websurfing/email, etc. TIA.

    Best S604 Xeon heatsink/fan?

    The retail fans that came with my Xeons are heat sensitive and they get EXTREMELY loud when a game gets going for a while. The retails do a great job though -- temps are hardly ever over 100F. But anyway, I'm looking for a good solution to my problem. I'm currently looking at the Swiftech...

    Z680's Hissing

    Just got these new speakers (z-680's) and they are amazing when playing music but they emit a hissing noise when not in use. I'm just using the regular (crappy) speaker wire that they sent in the box. Would getting new speaker wire help at all? I found this article...

    Humm. Anyone else see this? Comments?

    http://www.darkcrow.co.kr/image/news/0311/amd_r007.jpg The picture shows the future AMD roadmap. What's interesting is that it's showing 939 pin Athlon 64 FX (130 nm) at Q1 of '04. Everywhere else I've read shows the first 939 pin part as being the 90 nm "San Diego". If this is true, it's...

    When I was running 1 command line client on this machine in my sig, I was showing about 25% cpu usage. Keep in mind that these cpu's have HT and it shows up as 4 processors in task manager.

    What's a SCA Rack?

    Anyone know what SCA stands for? I'm guessing scsi something. I built myself a dual xeon system w/ scsi and I'm looking to put some type of mobile rack in it. Does my scsi drive have to be specifically a "sca" drive? I have a Maxtor Atlas 10k IV. It's 1'' in height, so I dunno if it would fit...
