I was going to do that, but either I have a bad unit or the U3011 is a pain in the butt to switch inputs on. If I happen to undock or shut down the laptop and then try and switch back to the desktop I constantly get the power saving message and have to spend forever hitting the menu button...
I have a Dell U3011 that I would like to share (along with wireless keyboard/mouse) between my work laptop using displayport, and my personal pc using dual link DVI. One of the machines will end up with an adapter on it (dp to dual dvi or vice versa) so I can use either a displayport or dual...
What kind of disk array are you adding storage to, what raid type, and what kind of disk are you using? Mid tier fc array could be $35-$40k per enclosure (depending on drive type may be closer to $25k) with costs going up if you are using raid 10 and FC drives versus raid 5 and 1TB SATA. If...
If you are going to use Vista media center x64 then you will have to have 64bit codecs for a lot of video playback... there is a ffdshow 64bit version, but ymmv on how well it works.
I'm going to use 2GB ram and Vista 32bit for mine.
I think I might look at the Xigmatek or ACF7 once I get everything together. That Tuniq looks nices, but it's freakin huge.
Anyways, thanks for the advice. One question thouhg, if I apply the stock HSF with the Intel thermal grease, do I need to clean this off more than just wiping it off...
I'm guessing Intel wouldn't warranty a chip against burning up and include their own cooling fan if it was completely horrible, but I need some advice. Will stock cooling suffice for small overclocks? I've seen some people even get to 3ghz with theirs. I don't plan on going above 3ghz, and may...
Cool... I got replies faster than I thought. That review is exactly what I needed to see. I actually read it last night, but it being 3am I don't remember seeing the efficiency tests. Reading that just made me decide to keep it instead of hassling with selling it and getting another. I guess...
I got in on the CM Stacker 830 and 1000W PS deal for $249.99AR and can't decide on whether to keep it or sell it and get a smaller modular PS. Here's what I'm putting in.
Q6600 w/possible slight OC
Abit IP35Pro or IX38GT
2x2GB Corsair XMS DDR2 800 (might upgrade to 8GB)
1x WD6400AAKS (may...
The earbuds that come with the g2 shuffle have a short cord so when you clip the player to the bottom of your shirt you don't have 3 feet of cable hanging out the bottom. Unfortunately I can't find any replacement headphones with a short cord to use... has anyone else looked for and found...
I'm going to use a Dell Optiplex 745 for a while, and need a video card. I currently have a 7900GT, but it requires a pcie power connector which the PS on teh Dell does not have. I also don't have a spare adapter plug to convert to pcie connector since the Dell PS is made for only components...
Building a computer isn't rocket science. Things only fit together a certain way. The hardest part is mounting the motherboard to the case. Everything else screws or slides right in. You are hardly looking at 15-20 hours to put this thing together. I'm not sure where you work, but you could...
Thermal paste comes with it, but I'd shell out the 5 bucks for arctic silver.
If you get the retail CPU then you also get a 3 year AMD warranty. In this case I'd go OEM since you get more speed for less money, but if the difference is only 5 or 10 bucks for the same chip I'd go retail...
