sx1030 question

Has anybody cut out the stamped fan guards? I have 4 Panaflo L1A's in mine and it's not real loud but I was wondering if I cut out the stamped fan guards, how much quieter would it make it since it would reduce the turbulance. If someone has done this, I'd like to know your opinion on how much...

Big storm headed my way. I am in the Panhandle of Texas, aka Tornado Alley.

That same line of storms came through here(Southwest Kansas), there was a tornado spotted 10 miles south west of here(Ulysses) and was headed right for us. I never seen it and haven't heard yet if it did hit anywhere in town. I'd guess the winds were atleast 70mph for 15 minutes or so and we...

What's the difference between a Vanta and a M64 TNT2 card?

I bought a TNT2 Vanta M64 from Bummer(well known in the For Sale forum) a few months ago and I just sold it a couple of weeks ago. This picture shows the TNT 2 M64 part but the rest is blurry but I guarantee it says Vanta too. It was an Aztec brand which I've never heard of but the chip does...

Since it's variable it would be impossible to determine the exact CFM and noise except for a minimum and maximum. I'd like to know what controls the variable speed? Maybe an internal thermal sensor?

You didn't accidently plug the computer with ICS into the uplink port did you? Another thing, if you do plug in another switch/hub into the uplink port, the port next to it(port #1) will not work.

Best way to share internet connection

Since your running Win98 SE, you could just use the ICS that comes with it. That's what I used before I got a router and it wasn't that hard to set up and worked fine for me.

Panaflow 60mm fan on a FOP32-1 ???

I wouldn't recommend it cause the 60mm fan that teamawe.com sells is only 14.1CFM which is only about half as powerful as the YS Tech fan that you currently have. Has your current fan always made the whirring sound? I can't hear my YS Tech fan at all but I also have 4 case fans that dround...

Linksys BEFSR41 problem

<< The computer thinks the DHCP server is 255.255.255.255 >> That's definitely not right. The DHCP server is the IP of the router. I don't know how to fix that other than to set up the computers with their own IP address. Russ is right, the DNS needs to be set to your ISP's name servers.

Sure would be nice if Kyle would use a thermistor next to the die instead of the onboard thermistor which doesn't do anything but measure the temperature of the air underneath the processor. I hope they cut one up with a saw and see exactly what the hell is in the middle of that thing. When I...
