    Computer doesn't boot

    Economic Stimulus Idea

    Also cheap solar panels would be good for the economy. If their cheaper than more people can buy them, and those people can save money on energy cost. Those saving can be spent on other things further helping the economy.

    Economic Stimulus Idea

    I actually do agree that the government spends money on things that it shouldn't I'm actually a registered Libertarian, and believe in smaller government, but this is something I believe the government could spend my money on, and it would be justified. Kind of like roads. And their...

    Economic Stimulus Idea

    Actually basic economics does cover oil and medication. Its call elasticity. This is not an inelastic product. Without demand supply won't rise, and prices won't drop.

    Economic Stimulus Idea

    To answer the questions about Batteries. Grid-tied PV systems. You are not cutting the buildings off from the grid. These will probably just produce enough electricity for the buildings they are on, and if there is any left over it will just go back into the power grid. When the solar...

    Economic Stimulus Idea

    LCD TV and monitors are made of rare metals that went up in price due to the demand for TV's and monitors, but somehow the price of those TV's and monitors has been dropping at a steady rate. A brief googling, and I was unable to find anyting about solar panels using rare commodities. It...

    Economic Stimulus Idea

    I actually use to work for the California Conservation Corps for a short period of time. My job was to retro fit lights to make them more efficient in government buildings. We did it a lot cheaper than any company would have done it for, becasue we were getting paid minimum wage, but I also...

    Economic Stimulus Idea

    We'll didn't think their was much to argue since your point seems to be about something else all together. You seem to miss my point all together, and your simple cliche statement isn't much of an arument agianst what I'm tallking about. I'm not arguing that government spending is good. I'm...

    Economic Stimulus Idea

    Sodium actually makes a good battery. Its funny its mentioned in 2000 leagues under the sea, and then about ten years ago I hear about a guy winning a electric car race with a sodium battery. Kind of off topic

    Economic Stimulus Idea

    See thats generally the biggest argument, rebates and tax breaks, but thats like saying, "hey I'm going to take your money, and give it to this guy who wants solar panels". Where as I'm saying, "hey I'm going to take your money teach this guy to install solar panels on schools so he can...

    Economic Stimulus Idea

    Leave maintenance to the private sector. It will give jobs to some of the people who were trained. If its such a hassle to have them installed on large buildings, then the industry should adapt, and start to produce systems that are more reliable, and require less maintenance. There are...

    Economic Stimulus Idea

    theflyingpig thanks for the comment without anything to back it up They would be low paid because they are receiving training in return, and they don't have any skill to begin with. This way it cost less for the government to install the solar panels. How is this wanting somebody else to...

    Economic Stimulus Idea

    Economic Stimulus Idea I have an idea that would help our countries economy grow through investing in solar panels. Step one: Train a bunch of people to install solar panels. Step two: Have those people, at a lower wage, install American made solar panels on all government building...

    Push pull config with Scythe Infinity?

    Yeah I already learned that concept when I purchased a fan for exhaust that almost did 100cfm. Same goes for case fans. There is a point where you can't move any more heat out. But on the other side you want to at least move enough air so that heat doesn't build up in the case. I have a...

    Push pull config with Scythe Infinity?

    So you both ran them off the CPU header.

    Push pull config with Scythe Infinity?

    Thats a great reason! Its about as good of a reason as mine. I run my CPU at stock speeds, I just want to do it for the fun doing it, and to see how cool I can run with low RPM fans. So the way you have it is the same as a splitter, and it doesn't give you any problems? What kind of fans...

    Push pull config with Scythe Infinity?

    the scythe infinity is made so that you can attach a second fan without using zip ties. How, where did you plug the second fan in. Did you use a splitter or another motherboard header?

    Push pull config with Scythe Infinity?

    Yeah, I have been trying to buy one of those Scythe Slipstreams for a while, but the 800rpm one that I want is always out of stock. I want to get at least one so that I can compare it to my Yate Loons. So far nothing beats my Yate Loons on 5 volt for noise and air movement. I have some...

    Push pull config with Scythe Infinity?

    I guess it just comes down to trying it out. I like to play with fans anyways, so I can always buy the splitter for $5, and try it out both ways. But your input has given me a lot to think about, and to experiment with. I have a slightly higher RPM Yate Loon that I can try to see if the...

    Push pull config with Scythe Infinity?

    OK, I understand, but the fans aren't sandwiched. I play around with fans all the time. Hell I buy case fans just to play with. I have tried sandwiching 2 fans, and yeah that actually has a negative effect in several ways. But in a push pull config on a heatsink like the Scythe Infinity they...

    Push pull config with Scythe Infinity?

    I'm not sure if that will work. I got a ASUS nforce 570 motherboard, and in the bios it has an option to lower the fan speeds. I have it currently on the lowest setting, and I think that it runs the CPU, and the case fan at different speeds. I'll have to double check when I get home. I'm at...

    Push pull config with Scythe Infinity?

    I'm thinking of buying a Scythe Infinity, and putting a second fan on it for a push pull config, but where or how do I connect the second fan. Do I buy or make a splitter and connect both of them to the CPU header on the motherboard, or is that pulling to much from one header?

    Thermalright V1-Ultra

    If you google it they will come. Reviews of this cooler that is. I saw this on the egg, and looked into it. It can run passive, and it also has the option for a second 80mm fan. Only good for DX9 card though.

    Athlon 64 X2 5600+ & ECS GeForce 6100SM-M Mobo $159.99

    I wish I would have known about that. Just picked up the CPU alone at newegg for $179. The nearest Fry's is hour and a half away, so I guess it would have cost me at least $20 in gas anyways.
