    XG Duro 900 Power Supply

    Insulting anonymous posts will be deleted. If you're going to insult me at least have the guts to identify yourself. Just in case you're wondering, Mr. Whoever you are, I listed the specs that the box listed incomplete or not. The shielding refered to by XG is the body of the PSU not the...

    No SLI for Conroe...

    nVidia bought ULi to screw ATI which was using ULi southbridges on their chipset. Intel has had an SLI solution long before Crossfire was even on record so to say that Intel approached ATI about Crossfire before hitting nVidia up about SLI is just wishful thinking. Like I said earlier it...

    Vantec AVOX Jukebox

    Nice review of a very nice product. I remember when I first saw thye Avox I was intrigued by it and it looks like I was correct in thinking it looked like quite the product. Good job.

    madmat's Pics From Days Gone By

    I was browsing the 'net and I'll be damned but I found a couple of pics from the family photo album. The first is from my younger days and explains my fascination with electricity: Ever since I've never been the same The second was the best field trip I ever went on: This beat...

    quick question.

    Don't sell that ram to your friend, trade it to me and sell my ram to him instead!

    Thermaltake Armor VA8000B

    It's a great case, I love having a 2 X 120mm radiator in the front and room enough for 3 hard drives plus 3 optical drives and a fanbus. To me that's just awesome in my book. I'm not quite as fond on the way the backplane on the PSU is but for a PSU with a single 80 or dual end mounted fans the...

    No SLI for Conroe...

    As far as I'm given to understand Conroe is socket 775 and should work with the 975 chipset. That kind of tells me that nVidia is slinging BS to make excuses for what amounts to a monopoly on SLI chipsets.

    No SLI for Conroe...

    I doubt it, nVidia just flatly refuses to allow SLI on any chipset that they don't make. The reasons they give are flatly BS, they just don't want to lose sales. There are guys that have hacked the drivers to include SLI on the intel chipsets and it blows the nV chipset out of the water, if...

    No SLI for Conroe...

    If I was Intel I'd cut nVidia's license to make Intel chipsets completely until they agreed to support the Intel chipsets in forceware drivers. It looks like nVidia doesn't realize that they're screwing with the largest PC hardware mfg in the world. If I was the CEO of nVidia I wouldn't be...

    What do you use to paint with? Cup gun? Rattle can? Inquiring minds would like to know.

    OCZ Ultra Mini-Kart USB Thumb Drive

    My house would have to be a full on conflagration before I'd leave without my wallet and my PC and my keys & glasses but not in that order, at the very least I'd save the PC, the rest I can replace.

    OCZ Ultra Mini-Kart USB Thumb Drive

    It's the size of a SD media card. Much smaller than your 1 gig card is now. It doesn't need it's OWN wallet but instead can fit in the credit card pocket in your wallet. Get it?

    OCZ Ultra Mini-Kart USB Thumb Drive

    It looks like an SD card made to interface with USB to me. I'm sure that there's a cap to cover the pins when it's not in use, there'd have to be otherwise they would end up fubared in no time. I wouldn't put that in my wallet honestly, I don't care how thing it is, it's still fragile as hell...

    Do you still have a floppy drive?

    Yep, doing raid arrays nearly mandates having a floppy so rather than have a USB version to fight with I just go with one in the case and say screw it. Besides, all my USB ports are full :D

    Arctic Cooling Accelero X1

    If you'll thoroughly clean the ram chips first with a good solvent such as OOPS! or Goof Off then go over them with 91% isopropyl alcohol you'll find that the pads will stick. I've run across the same issue with adhesive backed ram sinks and a 7800GTX and what I've outlined made the ramsinks...

    Yep, I guess that Rob'll need to remedy that. Thanks for knocking me down a peg <3

    CrystalFontz CFA-635

    One thing I'd like to mention, I gave the unit the Editors Choice award based on it's value. You'd have to spend as much for what the display does if you purchased a front panel temp monitor and something like the Sunbeam PCI fan controller and still not have as many options as far as displayed...
