I know bupkis about Linux, my experiences with Linux have all been bad ones. I can help you build a core PC but choosing a flavor of Linux is entirely beyond me. If you're not trying to convert us to OSX then stop trying to convince us how much better it is. It's pretty simple really. I see a...

To me, coming into a PC enthusiast forum and trolling (which is exactly what you are doing) is the mark of a fanboy. I'm not an OS fan of any sort. I'm an enthusiast pure and simple. I'd never even dream of going into an Apple forum and poo-pooing Apple's PC, I have no place in there. Yet you...

Apple gained so much revenue due to one thing and one thing only, the iMania. Their OS has nothing to do with it. Windows XP has an 83.57% market share compared to Apples 3.94% and the Mac Intel at 2.14%. That's a whopping 6% of the total OS market. Hell, Windows 2000 holds 4.71% and it's going...

Maybe you should give MCE 2005 a spin. I used XP Pro from 2002 to 2005 and had nothing but problems with it. It was buggy, had major stability issues and was something I had to reboot the PC daily to keep it running halfway smoothly. In 2006 I made the move to MCE 2005 and I've got to say it's...

ROFL!! the base GPU is a 7300GT! That's funny! The next step up is the X1900XT and that's it as far as gaming cards are concerned. w00t!! Oh yeah, it ownz jooo alright until you look at something that actually has graphics processing power for 3D apps other than scientific stuff. Let's face it...

To find out access the controllers during bootup (during POST) and see what options they do offer. If not you'll need a PSU with a single 12V rail of considerable size. A minimum of 60A I'd think would be sufficient. You might look into an Ultra X3 1KW for $300 or a PCP&C silencer 750W Quad...

For 16 drives? Not very since that's a grand total of 3A X 16 upon drive spin up and the IDE's all ride the same rail rated at 18A. If you're wanting to power relatively low draw items such as CCFL's and such it would be OK as long as you don't go overboard. Also, if you have your drives set to...

Great for walls... not so good for windows.

I've said already I do not want to dual boot. If I've got to game on an OS I will only use that OS, I hate rebooting my PC just to swap apps... talk about a pain in the posterior. Actually, I hate rebooting my PC period. My OS is stable enough that my PC will run as long as I care to keep it...

Yeah if someone invites you...

It would be nice if you could run Windows games on OS-X though. I use my PC for gaming and not having many games to choose from would really cripple my desire to use my PC.

I've got to say that the Prius having a "poor" rating on the electrical system in the middle column (dunno what it represents, the image is so tiny) is slightly alarming since, well, it is a hybrid and the electrical system is very complex and a very vital part of it's operation. I can just...

I agree completely. I just wish that Liang had made a DDC or DDC+ that was native 1/2" as they really are nice high head pumps that have a lot of potential for people with densely populated loops or running impingement blocks.

Actually the DDC+ is the same voltage but draws more amperage for a higher wattage. That said it's considerably louder so if you're after silent operation I'd stick with the original and if you're after high flow go with the D5 as it's designed for 1/2" tubing and won't need a $30 top to make it...

the only thing that you'll notice with the flow meter will be that it spins backwards and much faster... I hope that doesn't distress you too terribly much ;)

Let me look at the manual again...brb with an edit. Edit: Ok, I looked at the manual again and the stock pump pushes water through the lower part of the R2, up into the flow meter then up further into the rad and then out to the PC. So, yes running the replacement pump from the "in" to the R2...

This is way OT. What does your love of OSX have to do with Vista and Sys Mech not playing nice together? I'm just curious because this post would be better served in a thread about how much we really dislike Vista rather than in a thread about how useless Sys Mech has become ;)

The in would most likely be straight from the reservoir since the stock setup has the output from the stock pump feeding it's output straight into the flow meter then out to the PC. I once put together a loop with the reservoir feeding into my rads and the rads going into the input on the...

I've read the manual and it says in on both lines coming from the R2 so that's a pointless argument. If you look at the little diagram it shows the line coming from the R2 going to the input on the pump and the output from the pump going to the PC. Don't believe it? The input on every pump but...

Please don't plumb it that way. Water pumps don't pull water well, trying to pull the water all the way through the R2 and your loop will really hurt it. Instead run the R2 output to the inlet on the pump and from there into the loop and back into the input on the R2. The loop will still be...
