    *EDIT* Mac vs. PC Flame war

    Maybe he should get that new Acer Ferrari 4000. It will be pretty & it will relieve him of his $2100 quite nicely, while keeping dad happy.

    To the Japanese people on this forum:

    Apologize? America saved Japan's ass after the war by supporting their economy immediately after the surrender, and in the 60 years since by buying all their sh!t. I did my part, i just bought a $4000 Panasonic LCD TV. Does that count?

    Lian-Li V1000 vs V1200

    The integrated fans on my PC-V1000 are silent. However, since the case is perforated with so many holes, it offers no sound damping itself. So if you have loud components, it will allow the sound to come right through.

    Koolance Exos-Al or new Vid Card?

    Thanks for all the replies. The case is the Lian Li PC-V1000; the one that sorta looks like the G5 case with all the holes, so ventilation is good. The Ati Silencer 3 is clean, no dust, and the fan is spinning. Same with the Zalman. The case also has the big 120mm fan which moves a bunch of...

    YART: welfare recipiant has a Scion TC???

    Maybe The Matrix had it right. Lets make our own. To collect welfare, you must go down to the local DPW and walk on a treadmill long enough to generate 1 kilowatt. You then get credits that you can trade in for: A. Food Stamps & diapers. B. a case of 40's or C. 1 x 20" wheel with spinners.

    Best AGP Card?

    I hope you don't intend to use the Wildcat for gaming. It stinks. Its performance is extremely narrow focused: Pro-E, Catia, SolidWorks, etc, not OpenGL games, which make use of lighting & shaders and other stuff CAD/CAM does not.

    Is nVidia SLI needed ?

    The technology is not a scam or hype. It does work. However, the implementation curently sucks. A driver update for every game? bah. http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NzEx

    Problem with MX510

    When I put my MX510 to my ear, I hear the ocean :confused: try switching it to another USB port, or use the PS2 adapter.

    The BEST case for the GIRLFRIEND...

    Buying your GF a really nice computer with a cool case mod will make her a magnet for the guys. And most likely, she won't really appreciate the "guy coolness" of it. Most women I've met seem to prefer the smaller, sleeker things like iBook's, Mac Mini's, or other SFF stuff. I wouldn't waste...

    SNMP Monitoring?

    Simple for you maybe, but I am a windows slave, and I have no programming ability. :-( Basically, I want to be notified of any severe errors that occur. Both my UPS's & switches are capable of this (supposedly) but they are very vague as to how to actually capture these traps & then "do"...

    SNMP Monitoring?

    Does anyone know of any Free SNMP monitoring programs. I have a few devices that spit out some info in SNMP only that I'd like to monitor. Hopefully it will have a "Hey dummy! Look at me!" kind of pop-up alert thing. Devices are kinda varied: UPS's, switches, etc. Thanks in advance. . .

    HD temperatures

    And be wary of passive hard drive heat pipes. They work great, but the heat is now transferred to the ambient air in the case, raising the temp of every other componant.

    my 9800xt's stock fan is so loud, is it normal ?

    Mine was loud too. I bought an ATI Silencer 3 to replace it as well as cool it down. Its really quiet and works like a champ. I never get above 60C under heavy gaming. ( I hit 70C once with the stock hsf.) http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=35-186-115&depa=0

    2001FP huge problems...

    :( I have this problem. . . I have a 17" LCD at work that I have to look away from every 15 minutes. But I can sit in front of my 8 year old 19" CRT at home for hours on end. Hope they come out with something new soon, cause CRT's are a dieing breed.
