    I'm leaving the forums, here's why.

    1. Too many misinformed idiots 2. Too much "um r u rite?!??!?1!! hurrr lollercoaster" 3. Not enough people who actually know technical information, this board in essence, is a forum for idiots and a couple informed people who are too nice. In short, i'm sick of this place. I'm off to the...

    running certain programs through certain connections

    Currently I'm connected to the university LAN, but I'd like to run gaming software through a friend of mine's WLAN located nearby (DEAR MODS: THIS IS MY FRIEND'S WLAN WITH HIS CONSENT.

    power supply air flow... not so hot

    So I picked up this Super Flower TT-450SS, it has a fan grill in the back with a single 14 (that's right folks, 14) cm fan mounted on the bottom. On turbo mode the fan pushes ~1500rpms but doesn't seem to eject much air out of my case. Have any of you single large fan psu owners noticed this as...

    Program to create recovery disks?

    This is a tad off topic, but does anyone know of a program (preferably free of course :D) that will create iso files (or equivalent) that can be used as restore disks? Like say I want to back up the contents of my computer right now so I can restore it immediately if my hard drive dies. Is there...

    Smallest watercooling system?

    So I've got the sviking VA4000bws (thermaltake) case. If you're not familar with it, here's a picture. Is it possible to fit a radiator into the back of this case? I know I could fit a bigwater on the outside, but I'd like to keep it contained. Basically I need a radiator the size of a 120mm...

    northwood 2.2b idle temps

    I run at 40c idle and between 46-49c under load depending on how fast my cpu fan is running. I'm using a zalman 6500cnps and the included fan.. my case is well ventilated as well. Once again, the processor is a 2.2 northwood b with an ambient temp of 23c

    front intake pointless?

    I have two 120mm fans in my case along with my psu fans.. the front 120mm fan can't pull in any more air than the back one can push out, so why not just let the rear 120mm fan and the psu run and let air passively enter the case through the front opening reducing noise?

    Does anybody think the slight vibrations might affect hard drive reliablity? My drives have rubber inserts between them and the drivecage.. but still. I'm paranoid whenever i turn up my fans :D

    amd mobile xp.. opinions?

    I'm looking to upgrade my current 2.2 northwood system to something with a bit more punch.. but I don't want to spend more than $150 on mobo+cpu. I was looking towards overclocking a mobile xp because that seems to be a damn nice bang for the buck. Also, I wouldn't really need to buy new ram...

    So i woke up this morning and my computer wasn't working..

    So last night before i went to bed, I turned two of the fans in my psu off (it's a 3 fan 520w superflower) and i left the one regular size thick 80mm fan running in it (slow panaflo). The other two 120mm fans in my case were running low and I didn't run any system taxing processes overnight (cpu...

    So i've got this thermaltake sviking case. It packs two 120mm fans, one in the front and another in the back. I also have a superflower 520w three fan psu (one exhaust, one next to psu, one facing front of case) inside of it. Now i've gotten somewhat annoyed with the noise that the full size...
