    HAF mod Water Cooling

    I just mentioned the PA140.3 because I've always wanted one, the surface area is huge yet it makes far more sense than these quad 120mm fan radiators that have been slowly catching on for awhile now. Come to think of it, there might be room in my current case if I expand the section housing the...

    HAF mod Water Cooling

    Shush you, mine's blue. :p Anyway it's mutagenic green that's the most common! Bit of interesting news though, Thermochill is under new management. One of the things they've already begun doing is standardizing the fan spacing so their radiators will be compatible with any other radiator...

    New Danger Mouse CD Released As A Blank CD-R Due To Legal Fight With EMI

    I stumbled across this story, can't say I am that surprised at EMI's stance on this. Nor can I imagine EMI sitting back and not retaliating against this in some fashion. This is certainly a rather interestng method and it would be amusing to see his, ah, "album" sell well regardless. The...

    Why You'll Never See a 200Mbps Internet Connection

    That was an informative read. It's somewhat amusing to contemplate that users will eventually be subscribing to internet service faster than their 100Mbps computer or router can handle. That's still better than 56K or ISDN or even basic low level DSL service... even if it isn't much compared...

    Learning Someone Else's Lesson: Offsite Backups

    Hmm... yes I guess this is an extremely good reason to have offsite backups. I suspect extremely few sites actually have completely separate backups though... Not everyone backs up as they should. Of those sites that do, often backups are not done daily or even weekly. If the backups are...

    smaller form factor

    What kind of OCZ PSU is it? You might not need to upgrade it. I do agree with the CPU cooler and graphics card upgrade, at that resolution you will need a good performing card such as the HD 4870 or the GTX 275 / 285. Since you prefer to change as few components as possible then I don't...

    help me buy

    Newegg does not ship to India. I don't know what sites do so your best bet is to google up some local computer websites and see what they list. If you can find it I would suggest the Antec MX-1.

    a set of 2.1 speakers

    Either Altec Lansing or the Logitech would get my vote. Having owned both brands in the past I would lean slightly towards the Logitech.

    Sirius XM Raises Subscription Rates

    Well, their arguement was that they had to much overlapping content and duplicate channels. Of course most people rather disgree in hindsight, as whatever content they chose to settle upon seems to have ticked off the subscribers from the other service that lost their channel or type of music...

    ATI All in Wonder HD Cable Card

    Someone is free to correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no such thing as a tuner card that accepts cablecards. None whatsoever, the closest thing is what I linked to above.

    Common Reasons People Leave Linux

    True. But the last time I did this (Knoppix) it wasn't full functionality out of the box. ;) And I had a hell of a time trying to get a simple program to function (folding@home) off a USB key because it was a diskless system. I eventually got it half-working, but gave up as it was to much...

    Supermicro Launches Intel Atom-based Servers

    I'd like to know what the market for this thing is. I can understand not needing tons of CPU power, most servers tend to hardly use the CPU... but there's no GPU, single NIC, and just a basic laptop drive for the base model. There isn't a single one specific task the box could excel at. I'd...

    ATI All in Wonder HD Cable Card

    I am not aware of any tuners that have the ability to use Cablecards. The closest thing I am aware of is this which was released two years ago: http://ati.amd.com/products/tvwonderdigital/index.html Unfortunately Anand has written some very thorough articles on the troubles he had just...

    Sirius XM Raises Subscription Rates

    I used to use XM radio... I definitely enjoyed it and preferred it over FM radio. Eventually decided it wasn't worth it for the amount of driving I do though, and because it is problematic to convert from a car receiver to an indoor receiver it got axed. When I was a member XM charged about...

    Common Reasons People Leave Linux

    Hmm sorry, I misunderstood. When I read more hardware support it translated into out of the box support. Rob, that's impressive. Does the audio fully work or does it still require some tinkering first??

    GO OC 09 Coverage

    From what I read LinX updated the core in January, so that a single instance was capable of spawning 8 Linpack threads. IntelBurn does NOT spawn more than four threads, but LinX will. I can guarantee it because I've been using it. ;) Of course Intel recommends turning off Hyperthreading for...

    Asus Xonar Soundcard Drivers!

    I saw that! They do not offer Windows 7 support on their audio drivers, however. The moment I saw those headlines I had to go and double check. Still, I'm happy that they at least work now. :)

    Can't decide.

    Ah, thanks Rob, I forgot to mention the model # difference. Honestly it can mean anything from 10Mhz faster core speeds to a change in the included bundle, box, or picture they use on the box. Any change no matter how infinitesimal will make a new SKU... my advice is to ignore them unless you...

    Asus Xonar Soundcard Drivers!

    Yeah, that was all the difference in the world. Apparently they have done some major reworking from the beta to the more advanced versions you were using... I am now using the Windows 7 RC1 build and the exact same ASUS Xonar drivers now work flawlessly. All the control panel interface...

    Hello There, Ladies and Gentlemen...

    Frankly I think W7 has the best toolbar of any Windows to date. Don't like something about it? Customize it... it can be customized into any toolbar from a previous Windows. Personally I just added the quicklaunch bar, button text, and removed pinned icons, but kept W7's new features So I get...
