haha ... isn't there some*thing* a little bit wrong with wishing a "Doomsday" a birthday?!?!? Happy Birthday ... uhh ... Doomsday! And, may I live for many more Doomsdays ... not to be self centered or anything.:rolleyes:

This article from EDN got me thinking about my recent purchase of a Sony Blu-ray player for 1 of my TVs ... $130(US). First Blu-ray player for me. This was also what I paid for my 1st DVD player ... long, long, lo-o-ong ago. Actually this Blu-ray player was purchased by a friend for me. Had...

I am reminded of the copper versus fiber optic "race". 20+ years ago, fiber optics was predicted to replace copper ... we are talking just about anything computer network related as well as telecom. I worked for a company at the time that was a connector company for anything and quite...

In this context I am using "PC" as politically correct:rolleyes: ... The Periodic Table of Irrational Nonsense Never the less, I thought he put it together pretty well.:o

"Jobs said the iPhone 4's antenna issue isn't widespread. He said just over five out of every thousand users have complained to Apple's warranty service, and less than 2 percent have returned the device." Hmmmm, the physics says all the phones will be affected ... but of course not everyone...

They knew about the problem ... just given how long prototypes would been made not to mention that simulation with human body models have existed for years. They just figured that the "faithful" would have just reasoned, "If Apple made it this way, then this is how is should be. Everyone else...

http://spectrum.ieee.org/magazine/ ... in case there are other articles of interest. I have only had a chance to glance thru 1, already posted here.

The Trouble With Multicore I have only had time to read lightly thru this, but the number of failed companies at the end of the 1st page gave me a jolt. There were a lot of very intelligent and well educated people behind and in those companies.

option 2. Have fan push the air thru the heatsink and out the rear of the case. Definitely change from the current setup with the video card blocking air flow into the fan.

Lack of static pressure is a common problem with 140 mm fans ... relative to 120 mm fans. Even air flow (CFM or pick your unit) is also typically less for the 140 mm fans. Of course case cooling is one thing & does not need the same requirements. Pushing air thru newer radiators with higher...

fans at Newark ... with a great filtering system and quality fans

65 fans, 112 setups for case cooling. The OP has the 1st 36 posts in the thread with a lot of pics == slower load time in your browser. I have a new build thread going on in modding, but at this beginning stage the build is more about cooling. Actually I have confused myself about where I...

Looks like I don't want to rush too quickly into the next build .. I am still interested in OC-ing as much as possible tho.

I too have used Firefox for a few years and never realized that there is an option for putting tabs on the bottom. But, had I, I wouldn't have used the option. I usually run the browser full screen height with width no wider than necessary for a full page view ... some web pages need a...

I doubt that I will paint the case frame, but the beige case has to go. I don't think that I will cut a window (well maybe!) into the case side panel so the insides won't be seen too much. Fortunately the front & sides are just snapped or slide on so the painting can be a parallel effort to the...

Ugh! That's a lot of work ... the video of sand blasting just the chassis & the air brush painting. Looks nice although the choice of color (yellow-ish) would not be high on my list. I have considered powder coating items in the past ... hmmm. I may be a little too utilitarian to get into that...

Some of the references I am going to dig thru are like this for pump sizing. This thread has a long list to dig thru. Some of the info is dated & some is current based on available proudcts. And some shouldn't make too much difference. I am interested in one guy's testing of radiators with...

Do! Do post those links. I wasn't thinking too far outside the box, buy why not?!

I need the cores. I have a water cooled i7 920 OC-ed to almost 4.5 GHz (in the signature) running 24x7 and frequently CPU utilization gets maxed from many minutes to several hours. The original plan was to just upgrade it ... swapping out the 920 for the 980X ... per Rob's suggestion. And, a...

I like new tech for interacting with games. Ever hear of trigger finger? I had it on both hands, but I did beat my son on his GameBoy, in the day. And that equals a disdane for triggers & pushy buttons. Anyone is suseptable, but not everyone gets it ... although there are no studies that I know...
