    Power Plug problem with Toshiba M35

    I apologize if I posted this in the wrong category, but I can't get into the hardware category. Do any of you have soldering skills to perform a fix for this laptop? I have taken the laptop apart and have the bare motherboard sitting on my counter. I tried attaching an external plug but...

    Pioneer PDP-425CMX for $995 with free shipping

    I was getting ready to pull the trigger on this deal, but figured I'd ask you guys if you knew anything about it. I tried googling it but didn't get anything significant. I did see that it only has 2 inputs built-in, D-sub and DVI. To add standard connections, you have to purchase some BNC...

    As the title says, I"m looking for an application that I can run on my PC that will automatcally transfer files (recorded programs) onto my XBOX. I can do it manually, but it's a pain in the butt. I just want to transfer the files over as a nightly batch process and be done with it. Any...

    I currently have a PVR-150 that I'm using to record to MPG. I want to be able to watch my recordings directly on my TV, but the PVR-150 only has S-Video and Composite video inputs with no outputs. I don't have a PCI-E slot on my PC, only PCI and AGP. What would be the cheapest/easiest...

    Fellow teammates

    I'm trying to get another machine set up on the network to help me in the TAS vs. F@H contest and need a long network cable to attach it to the hub. If someone could spare a long cable, like 30 ft. I would really appreciate it and it would be for a good cause. Thanks in advance Martin

    F@H Big WU and XP2500

    I have an XP2500(Barton OC'ed to 3200+), XP2500(Barton not OC'ed) as well as an XP2600. They all have 256MB RAM running WinXP. They are all dedicated crunchers running F@H Version 5.02. I have noticed that they haven't crunched Big WU's in a long time. When I set them up, I answered the...

    F@H Cruncher Question

    I have a PIII 800E Chip. The motherboard it's on recognizes it as a 1Gig and runs windows XP fine. My question is, is it worth running F@H on it? I have several AMD 950's and they don't put out that much...since they can't run the BIG WU (600's). Have any of you done comparison's of the...

    F@H: Some huge Animals in the wild

    I don't know about you guys, but I've got 2 machines crunching these HUGE Gromacs units. I thought it was an aberration, but a machine that normally crunches the standard ones in about 20-40 hours has been eating away at one that it's gonna take it 101 hours and is taking it a little over an...

    F@H question

    I don't think I've heard anybody talk about this, but I was wondering if memory on a machine has any impact on the speed at which it crunches. Most of my machines have 128 MB of ram. If I increase them to 256, will they crunch faster? Has anybody tested this out? Thanks, Martin

    F@H completed WU didn't upload

    I was having problems with my machine just as it was finishing a Gromacs core. When I turned it back on, it said it couldn't find the work files and everthing would be deleted. It then loaded a new Tinker core and I haven't seen it send the completed Gromacs or get credit for the WU. What do...

    Soyo K7VME Boot problem

    I bought this Soyo at Mwave : mb linky and the XP2600+ (333Mhz) and the 128M DDR266 stick it's labeled PC2100. I put them all together and turned it on but it didn't boot. The CPU fan wouldn't turn on but when I hooked it up to the Chasis fan, it worked. I RMA'd it after messing with the...

    Freon cooling set-up

    Just wanted to get people's input on how many barebone (I'm talking MB, CPU, HSF?, HD) systems a standard refrigerator can keep cool. I would think at least a 3 or 4. What do you think? I have a older 70's, avocado colored refrig that is running in my garage 24/7. Was thinking of saving a...

    cheap cooling for crunching farm

    It seems that watercooling is the best way to go to achieve high and stable OC marks. How much does watercooling run and how hard is it to set up? I'm thinking if I go to a garage sale and pick up a cheap refrigerator, I can mod it to include lan and power hook ups. I can even mod it to...

    Xbox as Vicious Cruncher

    Has anybody tried to use either and modded Xbox or PS/2 to do some crunching. I figure my Xbox and PS/2 are always one for some reason or other. If I could install Linux on them, I could probably have some more crunching power. I don't know how fast they would be though...
