    USPS Friendly Vendors

    Being in Alaska, or anywhere not in the lower 48 is tough. I spend countless hours looking for products online at preferrably one source to lower my shipping costs. All of this time has taught me shipping through the United States Postal Services [USPS] is my best option. So the list is born...

    Antec P180 VS Lian-Li PC-V1000 Plus

    I have a DFI nf4 Ultra-D, so no problem with heatpipe. Yes poor implementations of heatpipe cooling are affected by positioning. Think early Thermalright heatpipe heatsinks vs newer ones.

    Antec P180 VS Lian-Li PC-V1000 Plus

    I know there is a ~$80 price difference on average. Price aside, I'd still like to know different people's experiences with the P180 and V1000 Plus. If you had a plain V1000 speak up too. My conclusion thus far: I went to CompUSA to check out the P180 but the build quality did not seem...

    Searching for the perfect keyboard...

    I've been searching all over for a great slim laptop style keyboard--no number pad--so that I don't have to have my mouse uncomfortably far off to the right. I bought an EagleTouch/Ortek MCK-88, but has nothing for tactile, it feels like I am typing on mashed potatoes. So far my most...

    Athlon 64 Winchester IHS (heat spreader) removal, update: done.

    I got my winchester, took off the IHS and used Arctic Silver 5 on it. The SN95G5 heatsink mounted successfully on the exposed die. I am getting about 30C for the processor in the bios screen, and the fan is ~750-800 rpm. BTW 12 Grams is a lot, get the 3.5 gram container of AS5.

    Athlon 64 Winchester IHS (heat spreader) removal, update: done.

    The new prescott cpu is adhered to the die. Amd has not adhered it yet, they still use thermal grease. As for the glue around the edges of the IHS, I don't know and neither does anyone else so far. I fail to see how replacing the IHS--which apparently uses standard thermal grease--with...

    Anyone Removed Heat Spreader?

    i've seen what they used between the die and the heat spreader, its pretty cheap stuff, and too much of it also. it would just be so much cleaner.

    Has anyone removed it or seen it removed somewhere? Will a Shuttle XPC HSF still make good contact? Please post links or pictures or experience. Update: a shuttle will still make good contact according to one poster who used a P-M in a sb61g2.

    Anyone Removed Heat Spreader?

    found some information: http://www.xtremesystems.org/f...showthread.php?t=36888 looks like you can't remove the IHS (heat spreader) from newer P4 because they are epoxied on, but a64 looks to be fine. a lot of people decreased their temps.

    Best notebook for around $1300

    iBook with 80gb 4200rpm and 256 built in ram is 1090 bucks educational discounted. the 80gb 4200 rpm is just as fast as a 60gb 5400rpm due to its increased density. Then you will have some money to buy ram (make sure its samsung). I recommend the iBook.

    Need Some Help Deciding on a Laptop

    Go for the 12" iBook, I had one and regret selling it for a powerbook. It is cheaper, so you don't spend all your time babying it (which makes it even more portable). It is elegant, has enormous resale value, only .08 ghz less. And very near the same performance as a 12" powerbook. Also in...

    There are receptors in your brain, which a chemical you produce usually binds to. This chemical helps regulate the feeling of tiredness; when it has bonded, you feel more awake. Caffiene is nearly identical to that chemical, so binds to the same site, even if your body has pulled all of your...
