We did... how do you think I arrived at my conclusions... Trust me, I'm not so dumb as to compare a malfunctioning system to a good one... Even me with my mere 30 years experience knows better than that. I've been fixing this stuff longer than half of my customers have been alive... Actually...

The test monitor on my bench is 1080p... Not sure what he's got at home. Especially on a 60hz screen.... Sorry guys I don't care what fram rate you're composing at... y'er still watching 60hz. I don't much care how people waste their money either... it's the "being mislead" part that...

I don't think NVidia is all that bad. I also don't think ATI is all that... What I don't get is that even after fixing the power problem temporarily with an external supply, the ATI card still kept up the NVidia card very nicely... even on a couple of games I had my friend play while I...

What part of... Did you not understand? Actually, I'm talking about an entire computer that straighened out and flew right with a much cheaper, much less power hungry, cooler running, video card. Even patching in a higher rated supply didn't bring that level of improvement.

I'm sorry if this is a foregone conclusion sort of thing... But I don't get it... What's with NVidia? Their chips are furnaces, they suck more power than some CPUs and far as I can tell, they're nothing to write home about... Case in point... I recently had a system come to me with power...

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but reading the article I saw the comments on port noise... What I would call "booming" or "doubling" and wanted to comment on some simple fixes for such problems, even with $100 class speakers... Doubling is when the phase relationships between the port and...

marfig... While I do not disagree with you and I certainly do agree that much of my "fix list" isn't going to happen... We are facing a choice... Despite energy and wastage issues, the fact remains there is only just so much room on this planet. If our population doubles again over the next 40...

Do a search here for scotchbrite, we did a thread on that a couple of years ago...

Voluntary? Who said anything about voluntary? (Just kidding)

Or even simpler... cold air in... hot air out... And yes filters are important... even the lowly scotchbrite pad will do!

LOL... wait till you pull open a customer's machine and it's packed top to bottom with cockroaches... Of course my all time favorite is: "My system got real quiet then it shut down"... pulled open the power supply and there was a baby gartersnake trapped in the intake fan! Yep... schite...

Up front... given that people are basically stupid, self-centered and aloof, I'm not sure there is a remedy. It seems that the human race is destined to die the death of a thousand tiny cuts as we wreck our air, water and food supplies then end up running out of needed resources. It won't likely...

Marfig... well enough said. Two quick comments if I may... For the question of who do we send... Lets hope we don't follow the historical pattern of the first colonists being refugees and criminals... For the question on poplulation growth itself... There are numerous sources but most of...

If you've ever read/watched Prof. David Suzuki you should be aware of his "Last Minute" scenario... We live on a planet with finite resources that can only sustain a certain number of people. If our population doubles in a given time period (he says minute for drama) then we have a limited time...

Good one!

You could but you will not likely get much increase in airflow since the intake fan would accelerate the air and the outlet fan would simply pass it through without much effect at all... because the air is already traveling at speed. Looking at your photo, with that nice big fan running on...

Well... no dandruf problems at that workstation.

Seriously... think liquid cooling! That many fans would drive me right out of my own office!

About the only place I could see much use for resolutions beyond 720p justified by need (as opposed to a lame-arsed wish to have better toys than our friends) is in security systems where 16 cameras per screen are common. I have 1080p both on my Television (which is only used as a big...
