Somehow we've changed to "Thermal Solutions".... Thanks! I spend a lot of time on the little things, like quality of construction, appearance, noise and such on my systems. I charge a darned good penny for what I do and my people expect nothing short of their money's worth. It is and...

Actually there are near silent fans out there, but they don't exist in the world of computers. UpFront look for PanaFlo fans. I'll explain why in a minute... A few things to keep in mind with small fans... Many manufacturers overspin their fans. This is done because they correctly...

One thing to watch *very* closely with these M-ATX cases is the height. Some of the newer ones are only 3.5 inches tall. Unless they arrange the expansion cards sideways with a riser board, you aren't going to put a full sized Video or PCI card in them. Then, even if they do give you the...

Actually the V-9000 was designed by Chuck Peddle of Atari fame. Based on the documentation at the time I think he actually expected people to jump on the bandwagon... He'd beat IBM to the 64k line by almost a year and probably didn't anticipate the marketing clout he was up against... a...

My first computer... As seen in "War Games".... http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=896 My first home computer... http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=214 Yeah, it's been a few days... that's for sure.

I've always liked the IN-WIN line. They are ruggedly built, reasonably priced, no sharp edges, mostly rolled corners, lots of ventilation and easily accessible. Unlike many M-ATX cases these ones use full sized ATX power supplies. My desktop one is one of their older models from the V series...

If it is a quota issue, you just resolved it... but free space doesn't indicate quota. The idea is that on a 80gig drive with 4 users you can restrict each to 15gigs and still have OS space... so if you have 15 gigs of stuff, no matter how much is free, you're gonna hit the wall. IF, that is...

Certainly that's been my experience. I've only had one customer I couldn't switch to Micro-ATX and that's because I just can't convince him there's no performance hit for doing it... What you lose is a couple of expansion slots that most people don't use anyway. Yes, it is ridiculous...

I agree. We seem to be just at the beginning of this, despite the form factor having been around for a while for use in embedded systems. One application really got my attention...The Sienna ham radio transceiver kit with a mini-itx system embedded. Thing is I don't think VIA thought they'd...

Can I add one more that I was actually involved in... The Victor 9000... This was an 8088 machine, on the market more than a year before IBM came out with their PC. This computer had the best monochrome monitor I've ever seen. One of the first "contactless" keyboards and it was a real joy...

Excellent! Well done.

Hi Rob, I do agree that larger computers will be with us for quite some time. I do not, however, think there is any overarching technical need for it. I'm thinking Micro-ATX will soon overtake ATX as the standard form factor. How many ATX mobos are there out there with 5 buss connectors...

Ok... lets hope. In the mean time check this... Log into your Administrator account. In your control panel open the Folder Options, then click on the VIEW tab. At the bottom of the list you will see a checkbox for "Use simple file sharing" Uncheck it and OK your way back to control...

Mine as well ... It's awful losing a loved one.
