    Storage Enclosure for multiple drives

    I am wondering if there is a box with a bunch of slots for hard drives where I can put in a bunch of TB drives and use them as storage and backup. I do a fair amount of video editing and I like to hang on to my old projects and clips. I don't want a RAID set up because I'd rather back them...

    Audio out on GTX 285

    I have been trying to find out if there is an audio out on the GTX 285. I see there is 2 DVI outs and an S-Video out which leads me to believe that audio will not come out of the card. I have a really nice audio adapter but I don't use it for movie watching and I want to stream video from my...

    Asus P5Q-E won't turn off

    Yes it worked until I put the Y Cable in and changed the Xigi S1283 push-pins to a back plate. I reseated the ram and the video card. I made sure my Xigi backplate wasn't causing a short circuit. Still no dice.

    Asus P5Q-E won't turn off

    I have an Asus P5Q-E and I just put in two new fans. The system will no longer post. I am able to turn ON the machine using the case power button as well as the power button on the MOBO however once its turned on I can't turn it off without unplugging it. There are no beep codes no nothing...

    Software regulated fan controller, (Stupid P5Q-E)

    I am looking for a software controlled fan controller. I have an ASUS P5Q-E motherboard and it does not work well with SpeedFan. Some fans on the Auxiliary heads can be run on SpeedFan (not consistently nor intuitively) and the CPU fan can only be controlled via QFan (ASUS? fan regulation...

    Runs like a sweet machine, sounds like a small airplane

    Hey guys, I just got a CoolerMaster 922 HAF and put in a Xigmatek 1283 with Push/Pull configuration using 2 Scythe 3k Kaze's. This case has 200mm fans on the front and top, and a 120 tricool in the back. This case is freaking loud It's not like I didn't expect this but I guess I didn't...

    Xigi 1283S + 2 Kazes

    I ordered a XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle with 2 Kaze's. It looks like I should have gone panaflo fans and a megahalem heat sink from what I have read (but I paid for my rush job and lack of research). But if I can get this q6600 up to 3.6 with tolerable noise I'll be happy. The order...

    CUDA nVidia Exclusive?

    I am seriously considering picking up a GTX 295 sometime soon. I don't do a ton of gaming but I do a fair amount of video editing and multimedia. Therefore the CUDA enabled technology is important to me. I was looking that the HD4870's in a crossfire set up and they are a pretty powerful...

    GTX 285 graphs in anandtech review

    Thanks very much for your detailed reply, If you click the link of the graphs it says total system power in watts which is confusing. If you think a 285 will run with my 500W PSU then I'll try that. I really can't afford a new PSU right now (nor a 285 but I am weak willed).

    GTX 285 graphs in anandtech review

    This question is prompted from the anandtech review of the GTX 285 power graphs The graph says full load of the system. This is an i7 with some pretty stacked specs yet the highest total system wattage at load is 490 (with GTX 285 SLi). Why would they bench this with a 1200W power supply...

    GTX 285 or GTX 295?

    I am wondering whether to get the GTX 285 or GTX 295. I can't go SLi in the future because I have Asus P5Q-E (doesn't support SLi). My apprehension from getting the 295 is the poor reviews on newegg and the inconsistent results with programs that can't handle 2 GPU's. Suggestions, Rumor...

    Asus P5Q-E SLi?

    I have an Asus P5Q-E and I am thinking of buying a new graphics card. I want to get a GTX-285 with the potential to go SLi later. Is SLi possible on a P5Q-E? It says in the manual its CrossFire ready but I don't see anything conclusively for or against SLi. If I can't go SLi, I will...

    Virtual Machine on RAMdisk

    Fusion ioDrive, any new reviews?

    The ioXtreme is supposed to be available soon (Q1 2009). It can be used as the boot drive and run in a 32-bit environment. Its going to retail <$1000 for 80GB. It has comparable performance. Google ioXtreme and you'll find the details.

    Saftey of Resizing a Drive

    Do you think booting into bartPE and just doing a manual copy of the entire drive would work? I did this at work before I left yesterday to test it but we have a mandatory off day (due to -40F temperatures) so I can't check the results.

    Saftey of Resizing a Drive

    SSD questions and suggestions

    I have been looking around at SSD?s and the results have been mixed at best. I have pretty much deduced that I will either have to go with the Intel MLC SSD or a Samsung SLC for an operating system drive. However, I have seen these G-Skill FM-25S2S-64GB drives on NewEgg. They have (2)...

    What are the odds I still have a virus

    I don't like the GUI in V3 also it is a lot heavier program. The main reason I picked NOD32 was because it was so light weight and constantly updated. They continue to update it. I figure I almost never run into this crap that I could go a little light on the protection so long as I used...

    8800GT (G92) vs. HD3870

    I just bought both of these cards one fore each computer. 2 of the same cards is no fun. The only thing that the 8800GT has on paper that is better than the 3870 is the texture fill rate. I have checked a bunch of websites and the consensus is the 8800GT being better. Does the texture...
