Lol yeah! I did get rid of the nvidia firewall thing though. Everytime I had a new program installed and after rebooting it gave me an error saying I needed to restart... AGAIN. So it's gone. Heads up, don't use speedfan with nf4 boards!:mad: Caused my system to do an instant shut down. I had...

Just did a full on reinstall and complete format. Internet worked just fine afterwards. Now back to reinstallations.

Now a sport would be someone actually hurling (upchuck) 40-50yrds!

I found that same bug burning a dvd. I didn't realize it was a program error as much as a player error. We had to stop and then hit play for the dvd to work correctly.

Well I feel better now, but there's something else. I don't know if it's the nforce hardware or windows or what.. My bandwidth seems to be cut to less than a third of what it used to be. Before, when I'd go to the cnet bandwidth tester I'd get 2.2Mbps+. Now I'm getting ~600kbps, and I've seen it...

Well took more than an hour but the network took the longest to get right. Problem, at least I think it is. I've got the Zalman 9500 connected up to the fanmate thingy.. and when the pc boots up right after post the fan completely stops spinning. My guess is that it's because of temps being...

WHOO HOO! Just got the video card in! I'll be checking back in in about an hour with some results!

lol I've been looking at getting my A+ as well! From what I've read it looks rather easy. There was a sample online test that I took and found it to be simple, common knowledge. Lemme see if I can dig that up real quick.. (queue Jeopardy theme song) What is <a href...

I was talking with the stock heatsinks in an average case at full load. For those with more airflow it'd be better. Also, those temps I ran across with a simple google search. I didn't delve too far into it. Did find this though. <a href...

Considering the Expert was only $20 more than the original, I couldn't see passing it up. Hoping to get some good results from the Opty.. Looking around today I found a 4200 X2 for almost the same price though. :shrug: It'll be an excellent system either way.

I've read reports that the newer Intels with stock heatsinks can get up to 80c+. I don't know what cpu you're talking about but the Northwoods, on average, get between 60c and 70c at full load. The Prescotts seem to be safer, traveling all the way up to 80c. That wouldn't be very good for AMD's...

No problem. I'll be upgrading the ram and hard drive later on. Thermaltake Armor Opteron 150 2.4G Zalman 9500 Dfi Expert 7800GT Arctic Silencer Rev. 3 Patriot pc3200 2x512 WD Caviar 80G Ata-100 I'll be picking up a 250g WD Sata hard drive with 16mb buffer, and a few weeks after that I'll...

Spur of the moment buy.. I picked up a Arctic Cooler 5 rev 3 off ebay last night. Roughly 30 with shipping.

No doubt he's got to be the best around. I've seen some reviews of a Zalman "Fatal1ty" heatsink, but as far as performance.. it really didn't do any better than the normal Zalman 7700. It's great to be recognized for your talents, and I applaud him. Though, adding his name to a product will...

I'm hoping for ~5k. I'll get the video card in this week hopefully up and running by the weekend.

Doing a little searching I found someone who's done all the work beforehand. He's contacted multiple makers for information about their lcd monitors and the best way to clean them. Interestingly enough each manufacturer has a different way their monitors are to be cleaned. <a href...

Wow! I never knew how much detail goes into those rooms. It's good to know the extreme care companies take to provide the quality of product.

Well it's not one crack.. there's a few spider cracks and spread out about as large as an open hand in the left front corner. Right above the inspection sticker. I'm told that the insurance company will pay for it with no deductable because of that law. Hopefully so. Edit: This report is the...

Spent all of yesterday evening running the wires for the case. I think it's going to turn out well. I'm thinking of getting a blacklight for the case to show off the uv reactive wires and board. :rolleyes: I turned it on just to get an idea of how loud the case was and I was very impressed. It's...
