    Why not run my PSU without its cover/enclosure to cool it better?

    I think this may have some benefit, but I'm not sure if it would be enough to be worth it.

    Oops, yeah, I should have "helped him out" by giving him a bunch of links (with no text to explain/justify why he should follwo them) to places where he can overpay for components by 20%.

    Antec Sonata II and P180 coming soon

    Actually, no, that's just the way everyone THINKS they're supposed to do it. I have a Fong Kai FK320 (?) case right now (heavy as a tank!), with a CPU duct system standard issue, and when you receive the case the rear mounted fan that connects to the duct is installed to blow air OUT, the idea...

    Building new computer Need help

    Or you can save almost as much, $34, by buying that same thing, but just not at newegg (zip zoom fly instead). Or you can save $64 by buying the same cpu, but OEM from eWiz. All your links are to newegg. do you work for them? are any of them competitively priced? and anyway, i think he...

    Advice sought on how to partition for W2K/XP/Linux/Linux multi-boot

    I've been reading up on VMWare, and it sounds fantastic (although I do have to wonder about performance, even with enough ram ...) But the $199 price point is a difficult one to swallow. Maybe half of that would be palatable ...

    Linux or Solaris -- which to choose?

    ??? 8 years ago I was using Linux, WinNT4, adn solaris x86 all simultaneously (solaris at the office, linux/nt at home). The hardware for solaris was HP. The stability of solaris (which I agree it has) isn't just about the hardware ...

    Download Solaris 10 for Free at SUN

    LOL, obviously not a CS dept at a reasearch university. I spent 14 hours a day in front of a solaris WS for a few years :) Course, that was in my own office, not a bullpen.

    Remind me again, why we're doing this

    There's nothing wrong with Dell, verything has it's place. I am one of the 80 bazillion hot deal readers who bought a 400sc a year ago for $179AR with the free Palm 21. I build my own, and I need power because I develop software for a living, but that was the perfect machine for my younger...

    Remind me again, why we're doing this

    LOL, if you're an "older guy," I'm friggin DECREPIT. I built my fisrst computer in 1983, and started using computers (mheneywell timeshare) int eh late 70s. The problem isn't that building is no longer cost effective, it's that you seem to be bringing no reflection of your actual needs to...

    754 or 939?

    If you look in the cpu/processor forum (where this thread belongs, btw), you'd see that this question has been asked, and answered, in numerous threads, many of them still active.

    Thin/Light notebook with good battery life?

    oops - never mind i see you said no MORE than 2 lbs. What I described was 2.2 lb. I think it's a bbetter fit than the protege, but it still doesn't meet your criteria. Good luck.

    New CPU suggestions?

    Yes you must be VERY new. Do you see the tab in the upper right that says "Guides"? Do you also see the anadtech home page itself, where three of the review articles appearing there right at this moment address your question, in depth, from different angles? People here are more than...

    Thinking about a Dell Ultrasharp 2005FPW? Think again.

    I think it's very safe to say that this is a problem, yes. I'm a bit of a guinea pig for you all, isuspect, since I am an "old fart" in IT who started using computers in the late 70s, and obviously know other people who have been at it as long. I have noticed that my eyesight has deteroiated...

    Thank you jrichards, emeraldsky, etc. You are correct, I was merely trying ot illustrate teh description of this (by the manufacturer, not the OP) was misleading, since I was myself at first. Thank you for recongnizing my good intention, and I hope the clarification did someone good.

    What was the speed of the intel 8088

    Zilog CPU all the way, baby! Still have my sinclair zx81 packed away in a box. I have thrown away many more powerful computers since then, but somehow when "building a computer" meant puttin the individual capacitors, resistors, and chips into the PCB with a soldering iron, THAT's something to...

    nForce3 Ultra cancelled?

    I think the mb makers are just responding to consumer demand. nvidia is doing a great job adding high profile features to their chipsets (good sound, hardware gb lan, hardware firewall, active armour, now SLI, all that), which is IMO giving them a "brand name" that is atypical for a component...

    shopping for a socket 939 board

    If you are considering the Gigabyte GA-K8NSNXP-939 (I'm nto gonna get into the pros & cons of that here, jsut saying IF you are), you might want to consider the GA-K8NS Ultra-939 too. It's pretty much verified to be the same board, just without DPS (which I've never heard what the real value of...

    S754 Newcastle VS S939 Winchester

    Overclocking Gigabyte K8NS Ultra-939 & AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Winchester?

    Here's a good place to start (note - this rec coming from a non-hardcore OCer, I like silence more than speed), but I'm afraid this is more a skill to be learned than knowedge to be passed on -- you can't learn how to be an auto mechanic just by litening to people tell you what they do to fix...

    Is GIGABYTE K8NSNXP939 motherboard the best?

    If you read posts here & elsewhere over rhe last few weeks, it sound like gigabyte has finally gotten things under control for this line with their F7 bios release, after what sounds like a horrible start out of the gate. For this reason I myself just bought a k8ns ultra-939 (which is almost...

    FYI, if you can manage to find $289 worth of more stuff on their site that you want, you can get it for $80 off/$720 (ie. 30% off on the additional stuff you buy) if you use an Amex card to buy it Text

    Good Motherboard for a AMD 3500 Socket 939?

    I dunno, I don't know your needs, expectations, or budget. But a problematic $70 mb for a $300 processor seems a bit out of proportion to me.

    Freespace Silent Threat $3.99

    OK, I think I answered my own question here OP - you may want to change your OP to clarify what this ebgames disk can & can't let you do -- in reading it I got the idea that I would be able to play fs2_open if I bought this disk, but as far as I can tell, I can't

    Freespace Silent Threat $3.99

    Do I interpret this correctly that buying this game (in the OP) will allow you to play FS1, using the open source FS2 engine for it, but you will not be able to play FS? Or does what AStar617 wrote mean that you have to own BOTH FS1 and FS2 to use the open source engines???

    What is the biggest newb mistake you have made since you got interested in computers?

    Paid $350 for a Timex Sinclair 2000 computer (this was 1984) Never could find very much software for it to begin with, then Timex closed down their computer division. I still have fond memories of the Sinclair ZX81 I had before it, and indeed still have the computer, which I built myslef --...

    Clawhammer (754) vs Winchester (939)

    You know, there is a heck of a lot of confusion on this point, people keep getting wrapped up in PR ratings or memory channel counts, and ignore much more fundamental things. The main thing to look at is price/performance. And the reality of that is that you can buy a 754 newcastle 3400+ for...

    11 in 1 USB 2.0 card reader

    11 in 1 is an exaggeraiton - it treats variations in the same standard as different format. E.g this 10-in-1 actually handles more than this 11-in-1 (including xD)

    Arctic Silver 5 for 5.99 free shipping.

    I am about to do my first new build in about 3 years, and still have some Artic Silver II left over from the last go. Realistically, is there any point in gettng this instead of just using more of that?

    YESS!!!

    p.s., if one is hoping for a nforce 3 lanparty AGP for 939 (not just 754), is it safe to say you are SOL? I'm guessing so, based on the fact that the Nf4 board is imminent yet I've heard not one rumour of a 939 AGP board ... :brokenheart:

    YESS!!!

    If you want it so bad that you would pay any price, maybe you can get it from here sooner: ouch !!!

    Finally a Budget 939 board

    What about the winfast/foxconn board? Pretty decent reviews, quality, features, and under $100 -- if you can find it (right now only newegg has it)
