    Sony dvd rw dw-d22a

    I have a friend whos DVD drive that will, annoyingly, only burn .iso files, as oppose to just files, as Nero Express allows you to. There have been no software changes that I'm aware of, or that they have made me aware of, there's no games published by Kochmedia so Starfarce isn't causing...

    X1950Pro water cooling

    If you look at the Sapphire X1950Pro Ultimate, it has an additional heatsink at the rear of the card - This appears to cover three things for cooling. I'm running a standard 256mb 1950 Pro myself, as such don't have that heatsink spare. Although some waterblocks list compatability with 1950...

    Hynix DDR2 SODIMM

    Okay, I'm planning to buy an Alienware Area-51 M5550. A friend of mine has 1gb (Matched 512's) of Hynix RAM that is identical spec wise to the stuff that Alienware 'recommends'. I was wondering if anyone's had any experiance with Hynix before now? The fact that it was in a MacBook makes me...

    Trying some nVidia

    Okay. while the Pentium stuff is not strictly video. I want to get an nVidia setup, somewhat around the similar spec as my present one, without the option to go SLI, because I never will in this generation. It doesn't have to be ungodly killer graphics, so anything from the 6800 range I...

    Mounting a radiators outside the case

    Okay, I was inspired by a mod I saw over at techpowerup, http://www.techpowerup.com/gallery/138 to be exact. I want to make some brackets up and mount a dual 120mm radiator on the outside of the case, drilling holes for the tubing to go straight in unlike the rustbucket mod. Apologies for...

    Incy Wincy Spider

    I was quite bored, and I started thimking. Is it a euphamism for sex? "Incy Wincy spider Climbed up the water spout; Down came the rain And washed the spider out." I know the second verse may not be.. but think about that bit, is it just me that thinks it's perverse?

    ATITool

    I had to reinstall XP, but after I did ATiTool stopped showing the little graphical temperatures, and I can't understand why not. Everything's the same, as far as I can determine. Any ideas as to why the temperature gauge isn't working, perhaps something in the bios.. Although, I've not changed...

    Next CPU

    I'm running a 3000+ at the moment, I'd like to make the move to 2ghz+ but I'm not too interested in spending huge amounts of time working out a nice stable overclock. I don't really do that much gaming, infact, I've not played FEAR more than twice since I bought it on launch. I'm not really...

    Wireless extension.

    Okay, a friend has a wireless network, but can't access the network from certain points in their house. Aside from better antenna, is it possible to get a device that picks up the signal of the already existant wireless network and reshares it, without wiring the house? Cheers.

    Water cooling a PC-70

    Okay. I searched through the numerous water cooling threads, and the numerous threads that mention Lian Li PC-70's. I intend to buy one, over the CM stacker, because I just prefer it. I have a PC-60 at the moment, and I'm loving it. However. My problem comes with cooling the mighty beast...

    Apple, Dell, which one to get?

    Okay. I know this is an age old debate. Ant lots of people say the dell is better. However. My dilema is with the HE discount I can get the Apple 20" for £455 shipped. Okay, it's a tad more expensive than the Dell. I wouldn't use the additional inputs on the Dell screen. I can get the Dell...

    I got my sapphire board on monday, after setting it up, I discovered that the IRQ numbering was completely out, and the serial bus was on the same as multimedia device, while a few others were on the same IRQ. I wasn't concerned that the USB controllers were set a 10 and SATA raid (Set as other...

    Water cooled RAM

    I know it's out there, but I can't find it, despite googling it and sifting through close on ten pages of crap. The only stuff I have ever seen is http://www.ocmodshop.com/default.aspx?a=249 and to be honest, that looks like ccomplete crap, because it knocks you down to being able to use two...
