From what I saw of just looking at the board that Rob reviewed is that it's 100% solid caps. If that's the $300 board I can say that the other board most likely has normal electrolytic caps in all areas except (possibly) the CPU Vreg section. Solid caps are expensive as heck and almost all the...

Just to clarify, that 250 gigs for all 10 disks. Each disk is 25 gigs so it's hard to get all happy over 25 gigs at $4.50 each when you can get 6 DVD+R's for $2 and store just as much stuff. Of course... if what you're trying to store is too big to fit on a 4.7 gig DVD you're hosed.

I've seen 7 and to me it looks like a polished version of Vista. No more, no less. Is it cool? Without a doubt, is it ground breaking? In a word, no. What happened to M$ building a new OS from the ground up? The addition of the new codecs is nice, I thought the fact that Vista plays DVD's out...

My X-Fi Prelude allows both SPDIF and analog outputs. I'm running Vista BTW.

Cool. Sorry I missed this yesterday, my internet was down for most of the day. I bought some Polk MMC650 coaxials for my doors as they'll fit in there without modification. They run outboard crossovers and I'm using my MM6 crossovers rather than the factory set as the MM6 set has mylar caps and...

Just for future reference, as far as PSU's go, if it's a quality PSU with honest power ratings you can run as many GPU's as you have plugs for. If the PSU has enough power outlets for SLI 4870's without using adapters then it'll be fine. I don't think the VX550 does from what I recall of...

A small bit of advice to consider is that the 1tb drives are experiencing a few growing pains right now. I can't remember which company but one of them recalled some of their 1tb drives due to data corruption issues. Honestly, you'll see faster read and write times with a pair of 500gig drives...

It's not painted, it's powdercoated. You're seeing dust on the finish. Yes, my goal is indeed SQ and no, no sealed enclosure for me, I'm going with infinite baffle. With a 35 cu-ft enclosure the sub will do 125db at 5hz up at 800W. The basket isn't an MTX piece, it's used by dozens of MFG's. My...

You'll like what I've just purchased, Rory. Let me introduce you to the DMX/RE hybrid I'm going to be putting in my trunk, all 15" and 50lbs of it. It's not a lot to look at from the front, the simple parabolic concave poly dustcap covers the cone up to the 1.5" rubber based foam surround. The...

Nope, I never drove much over the speed limit here. I've outgrown that foolishness. It was on March Lane in between Lodi CA and Stockton CA in 1984. I only got the engine up to around 6000RPM doing it but I sustained it long enough to spin all the rod bearings. The engine was basically stock at...

To quote Ron White: "You can't fix stupid"

My first car was a1973 Pontiac Grand Prix. I built the stock 6.6 up with an Edelbrock Torker intake topped by an 850CFM ThermoQuad, Crane Blueprint series Ram Air IV regrind, Rhodes lifters and headers. I put Competition Dynamics springs and retainers in and the top end was good for making...

Hello again kiddies it's me, the mad one. Today I'd like to talk about car audio, more importantly, yours truly and car audio. First, let me give you all some background. I kind of fell ass backwards into computers. I never really cared about them, indeed, up until I bought my first PC I never...

Are you asking about PC's? In '79 I met a cat whose dad had built a PC from a tandy mobo with dual 5.25" drives and an internal HDD. It ran some OS of some sort but I dunno what it was. It was the first exposure to the PC hobby I'd ever had. I didn't become an enthusiast until 2000. So anything...

I tried it myself as the premise sounds good but I wasn't too enthused with it.

If you've installed the programs on the new laptop you can use the file and settings transfer wizard to transfer all the saved files from the old PC to the laptop via an ethernet connection so this wouldn't be of any use to you. Now, if you want to just transfer the programs themselves without...

Well, it can take a double rad in the front on the mobo side with zero mods, you can put a triple in there with some work. In the rear you can put a quad 120 rad or a pair of double 120's with some modification.

It's the Vantec unit? Not another brand? I haven't seen the newest version but if you read the review front to back and a bit sideways you'll see the adapter I'm talking about and where it plugs into the dongle. If yours has the spot for the power plug but lacks the plug refer to your...

Yeah it is a great case, I enjoyed it quite a bit but I wasn't ever able to use it to it's full potential.
