Are your switches manageable? They might have a temp sensor inside.

It's all over the news.

Please do. Thanks :oops:

U-571 :thumbleft:

I wonder how it would do Folding? :drl:

Buy two and put them into some sort of fail-over system. :o

Newegg Business

Samsung SSD review.

I don't see the point. Why not buy a hybred? Same difference.

All the 'factory' computers I have worked on have had large plastic duct work to move air across the CPU and out the back of the case via a fan. Seems to be the best way to be quiet and cool.

Or an 18 wheeler. :tdown:

Neat and cool, but also ugly and clausterphobic.

Cool! Great suggestions.

Anyone ever use one of these CPU coolers? Thoughts?? How would you replace the fan?

Huba-Huba :-D

Install operating system. Install drivers. Install service packs, OS updates. Install anti-virus. Install applications. Check to make sure everything works.

Maybe. But I can see Microsoft trying to enforce it on all motherboards...cloaked as a 'security' fix.

This sucks

Windows 8 boot menu

I'd hold the computers for ransom.

Our proprietary software was wrote in-house for our equipment. Some of it was wrote for Win2k and moved to XP. But it chokes on Windows 7. Windows 8 looks worse. Maybe its time for Linux.

I hope there is an enterprise edition without all the metro crap. We have not made the transition to Windows 7 yet because of things like Scheduled Task, Networking, and problems with proprietary software.

When I was a kid in the 1950's, we would go to the movies almost every Saturday. 99% of the movies we saw were the sci-fi of the time. Scary stuff back then.

Have you tried moving the BIOS jumper to the 'Maintenance' (?) pins? If you don't get video in one port, try moving the cable to another while the system is up. It could be that the BIOS has been set to a particular video slot instead of 'Auto'. It might take two or three reboots for the BIOS to...

The trial-ware version of VMWare Workstation also includes the free VMWare Player V4. That's what I am using for Window 8.

I found doing a 'ctrl-alt-del' and then selecting the power button is much faster. Besides, anyone who has ever used any Windows should be familiar with 'ctrl-alt-del'. :-D

Thanks! I found the Registry hack a few minutes ago too. Now to find a way to go directly to the login screen on startup.

I can't see using the Metro GUI on a desktop pc. There needs to be a way to kill it. Can you imagine all the IT calls in a large corp?

I found it's easier to do a ctrl-alt-del and then click on the power button icon. So far, Windows 8 sucks donkey d**ks.

Great news! I thought I had seen this a while back. From 2008

Anybody here try the Windows 8 preview? How do you shut it down? When I click on the 'Start' button, I get the Fischer-Price pre-school desktop. I've been looking and clicking all sorts of things, but no way to shutdown Windows 8. Thanks

Intel 710

I believe Intel is moving to CPU mounted memory controllers. Or have they already? It would be interesting if you could mount those AMD processors in another motherboard to see how they work.

I don't have a standard cell phone. I use Tracfone. You can pick one of these phones up for under $20.00. I believe most of them have an alarm built in. Might be worth checking out.

I see the Perc cards are really popular here. Why are they so much better than other RAID cards?

I believe I read where there was some bug in the latest Java update. You could try CCleaner (free) to remove the temp internet files.

Same here, both at home and work.

In a program about the Smithsonian, they 'aged' two CDs from the same pack of CDs. One was fine, the other was worthless. Seems it's a crap shoot to how long disc will last.

Dumb question...why copper pipe and not plastic?

And anti-freeze :-D

Maybe you could mount drives on both sides of the tray? 2.5" on one side, 3.5" on the other.

In my younger days I would have done it. Besides, it doesn't look any worse than a water ski jump if you don't land on your skis.

Maybe they were buried in the mud after the tsunomi in Japan? ;-)

Or listen for the screams.

The Intel RAID is hardware RAID. That is why you need to set it up in the BIOS. In an add-in RAID card, the RAID is set up in that cards BIOS before the operating system boots. Check your motherboard specs to see which ports the RAID controller is attached to. Some motherboards use two different...

I avoid compressed files. If the files are just copied you can read them from almost any computer. If they are compressed you need the correct program to read them which may not be available just when you need the files the most. The compression itself adds another chance at corruption too...

According to the review, the front USB ports are 3.0. The adaptor cable allows them to be connected to USB 2.0 if your motherboard does not support USB 3.0

Generally active = boot. Yes, you will lose all your data when you create the RAID array. I would use the motherboard RAID setup. That's what I'm using on my ASUS motherboard.

Ineresting case

Not so good
