    Just finished the build. One loop for CPU and another for the video card. I modingied the CoolIt NV200 on the GTX280. I got a 120 Rad, Noctua fan and used the CoolIt pump. The CoolIt rad was made to go into 2 drive bays and had a rectangular shape using two very loud fans, strange setup. But...

    Dove tail joints.

    You may have to cut the 45 angle first, then cut across the end secured in a special home made fixture using the same jig setup. I havent seen any 45 degree dovetail, but it looks possible

    Windows 7 to Follow Vista's Edition Scheme

    Seems to be easier if they had one disk for all versions, entering the key code would determain what part of the OS would be installed. Some Demo programs give you the key code for demo mode, if you want to buy the program, you just get a new key code and it opens up the full blown program.

    Charter Offers 60Mbps Cable Internet Service

    Comcast is doing the same, but has to go to Docsis 3.0 before the speeds come. Docsis 3.0 has a broader bandwidth with higher compression, thus higher speeds. But, modems have to be Docsis 3.0 compliant, not many are in the field at this point today. One example is the Motorola 5100 ( docsis 1.0...

Seems like everyone is missunderstanding this and want to panic. Till 2011 you may see a few chanels disapear...

    Is this a good price for this system?

    Usually online games have a lag no matter what system you build. It has to do with the server that you are connected to and how many are playing at the same time. And as well as the type of connection that YOU use to connect with. Most gamers want cable for gaming, DSL players can lag a server...

    ATI's Graphics Card Drivers Need Serious Love

    If you have the graphic settings too high, yes your frame rates will suffer. When I first loaded GRID, I thought my game was at the fault, but the settings where way too high, until I got the GTX 280, then I could scream through frames

    Could Netbooks Curb PC Innovation?

    A modified Blackberry, somewhat as portable. Since sales of notebooks out sold home desktops, the trend looks to be that consumers are mostly interested in email and the internet. I do see a lot of home computers in a day, and mostly that's all they do, so why not go cheaper? Now the question...

    Anyone using Windows 7?

    So much talk about RAID issues, why would you run RAID, unless you have a business. If for a home computer, then why run it?
