I've set up a new computer that uses Nvidia's forceware NVFirewall as a the hardware based firewall. Now other computers on the network are having touble conecting to the new one. I've used the wizards to make sure the correct ports are open for the Windows Printer & File sharing.

I need some help going about installing an image I made of a fresh XP Pro Install as a 2nd OS in the same machine. I know I can install in the image another partition on the drive, but how do I manually modify the boot ladder so that both OS'es are accessible upon boot?
I know I can just...
Thanks for the help.
I was thnking the same thing but this is in my bedroom and so noise is an issue. That was the reasoning behind the humongous HS. Guess I'll have to get another fan and many a controller to shut it down when the system is not under heavy load.
Thanks
Why? Based on the temp monitors everything is running within the acceptable ranges while the system stays pretty quiet. I have tried gaming on it yet though so we'll see if I need another fan at that point. If I do need anther fan though, am I better off sticking a fan on my Very Large...
The rear exhaust fan came preinstalled in the case with the PSU.
In order to get at the connector, I have to take apart a fair amount of stuff which at this point I'm unwilling to do. The psu also contoller the fan speed based on load, which is kind of useful in keeping the whole thing quiet.
ASUS has a basic configuration for PSU requirements.
I also used this calculator http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/
They came out about even at 390watts
Now I know that this is at full load if everthing is being used to the max, but I'm unsure of the margin I have. Maybe another...

So there is no danger from underpowering components?
I know the calculated specs for PSUs are conservative so when what I currently have for a system came in over by 10 or 20 watts it was not a concern. Adding another 6600gt though should add another 75watts at full load. You guys don't think...
The first thing I did was check the Bios.
I have an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe mobo.
The only options I have are to turn QFan on or off and set the temp for the cpu.
I still get the error message when I turn the Qfan off.

I installed a massive heat sink over my CPU instead of a HS and Fan. The case fan is placed directly next to the heat sink so I've got decent cooling on the CPU.
Now the boot process stops to indicate there is no CPU fan connected. I have to hit some key everytime I boot up or reboot...
I have an Antec Sonata case with the built in 380watt PSU.
I'm about to pop my 2nd 6600gt card into my system and while before I was slightly over the limit of what the PSU could provide, now I'll be way over. Anyone have experience with upgrading the PSU in the Sonata Case? I was hoping...
Thanks for the reply.
So just to clarify. Raid off say and Nforce 4 motherboard chip will use the cpu to do parity bit calculations.
Raid off a silicon image raid controller chip may or may not do its own calculations. I will need to talk to the vendor about this.
Thanks
Thanks for the replys
So the raid 5 is raid 5 - there is no difference between raid 5 on a card and raid 5 off a motherboard chip
The OS is on a totally separate HD that will be ghosted to CD-R
I was going to do the occasional backup and deletes will be taken care of via software
I have a raid sata controller on my motherboard ASUS AN8-SLI Deluxe
If I hook up 3 identical HDs at RAID 5 does this mean that I don't have to back up...ever
If one disk crashes, can I just replace and the system will rebuild the data from the other disks?
I know the 2005fp is a good buy. But has anyone looked at the HP L2335. Its bigger, 23" - 16ms - 1920x1200 and supports native component video connections for ~ $1500 bucks. I know it more but if I'm not planing on upgrading again any time soon, would this be a better buy.
I'm thinking about buying an new Mobo amd most that I am considering have the
Silicon Image 3114R Raid Controller or
NV Raid as part of the Nforce4 chipset
What I want to know is anyone had used these controllers to set up Raid 5 and whether there are options to rebulld the disk array in...
