I'm using the motherboard RAID. I'm looking into accessing pin 11 on the SATA power connector. That is supposed to be the 'activity' pin.

I have a Supermicro mobile rack similar to this. It came with connectors so each of the five hard drives could have a led come on whenever the drive was active. My motherboard only has one hard drive led connector. Does anyone have any idea how I could get all five leds to work, independently.

Wouldn't a plastic surgeon work better? ;)

I said I had just ordered that case with the extra fans. Adding just one fan to the other case would push the price up to the Illusion, so I bought the Illusion with two extra fans. I didn't mean to imply he would need them.

I just ordered the parts for build using an Intel BOXDH57DD motherboard, an Intel Pentium 6950, Antec Three Hundred Illusion, and an Antec Earthwatts EA430D. I bought the Antec Three Hundred Illusion as it is the same case as the 100 and other 300 but comes with two more fans. Adding a single...

I haven't seen a new post since Merc's at 12:18AM. Something wrong?

But they are cleaner than gas or diesel, and go farther than electric. They also can be filled at any place that fills propane tanks.

Just purchased a Samsung SyncMaster P2770. It's great.

It's Monday now, right?

I'm in whatever timezone/day my pill box tells me I'm in.

OCZ?

Twilight Zone :oops:

It's Monday morning. Did I miss anything?

:thumbleft::thumbleft:

Garden hose and a chamber pot. For 3K I think I would have him chained to a post. I know how you feel though. I wired a house for a guy a few years back. He set the house on fire to collect the insurance money, blaming the fire on my wiring. But the dumb-ass didn't wait until the power company...

The tanks could be made to fit where the gasoline tank is now. They would be heavier though. The MPG of propane vehicles is about the same as gasoline, so a tank would only have to be about the same size. Installing the infrastructure for an electric buss system would be extremely expensive...

Careful...you could be chained to a pole in his basement with that other guy :)

Do you have this guy chained to a post in your basement?

Getto mod with a can opener.

What I don't understand is why we aren't looking to natural gas for cars. Propane or LNG. Maybe even methane. It burns clean, we have plenty of it, we can even extract methane from land fills. Gasoline and diesel engines can be converted to burn it. It can even power jet turbine engines to...

With the speed of SSDs, would you even notice a drop in performance if one died in an array? ...assuming a good controller...

I just downloaded and installed this program. Has anyone else used it? Thoughts?

From Wikipedia: "Singapore is a parliamentary republic with a Westminster system of unicameral parliamentary government representing constituencies. The Constitution of Singapore establishes representative democracy as the political system." Maybe not a democracy like the US, but certainly not...

Didn't Russia try this and it failed, miserably?

Bikes are nice if you under 40 years old. They are also nice if you have a nice flat terrain to travel, and a short distance to go. Riding in the rain is the pits. In the freezing weather and snow is almost impossible. Electric cars are not ready for prime time. I can see me asking my employer...

Trade in your old stuff

Reading this post is most interesting. But I was wondering if the failures could be broke down into 'failures per 100 bought/sold' or something. Does anyone keep those types of records?

I think part of the problem is trying to apply spinning disk utilities, monitoring, and diagnoses routines to SSDs.

If you open 'Properties' for your network connection and uncheck 'Client for Microsoft Networks' that should prevent the host OS from using the NIC.

I have been using 350W to 650W 80+ power supplies for the last 3-4 years. I keep three spares in stock now. 2-MT350 (or MT352) for the minuete cases, and 3 or 4 Earthwatts 430w and 1 Earthwatts 650W. This covers everything I have installed. ~175 computers. Also, 99% of my cases are Antec, so a...

The computer in question is dedicated to doing scheduled tasks. Usually 4-6 an hour, 24/7/365. It's nice to be able to look at the screen an see what task has run and when, if there were any errors, and what is going to run next. With Windows 7 you must refresh the screen each time you need to...

Time, the computers I build go into an industrial enviorment; dirt, dirt, and more dirt. Also, because we convert AC to DC (and in some cases back to AC) all the SCR switching and power factors that approach 20%, our computers take a beating. We also pump DC back into the AC line through SCRs...

Good Stuff!!! :-D

You might be right about the apples. I believe I saw a couple of mentions about some AMD motherboards too. I didn't pay a lot of attention as they were not what I was looking for.

A Scion Xb, ~$17,000 US, 23-28 MPG.

Wouldn't you be able to go farther and faster if you didn't have all that extra weight on the bike? :wink:

Thanks for all the suggestions. I look into it next week when I get back on that computer.

I don't know. But, if I do a clean install to bare metal with Mint, the mouse does the same thing.

SSD's in a RAID configeration don't run TRIM. I'll stay with single drives for now. Another thing: I really don't think SSDs are ready for prime time. Why are all the TRIM utilities different? Aren't there any specifications or standards that everone is supposed to follow? On a spinning disk...

The mouse wheel works fine in Virtual XP. I'll search the Mint site some more.

I can install XP.

Don't anything handy at the moment, but I'll see what I can dig up.

Most of my equipment is Harmon-Karden with Klipsch 'bookshelf' speakers. I have a Pioneer belt drive turntable and a Pioneer cd player/changer. I say 'bookshelf' but the speakers are 14" x 14" x 3' and weigh 40+ lbs. Everything is over 20 years old.

When I bought our Klipsch speakers many years ago, I took a CD of mine to every audio store in the area. ( it was Glenn Miller - plenty of range ) I ask the person that was helping me to play the CD with the amp/equalizer set at neutral. Then had them change from one pair of speakers to the...

I am running Linux Mint in Virtual Box. I have a MS wireless keyboard and mouse that has a USB reciever. Everything works fine except the mouse wheel. It is jumpy and sporadic. I have installed Guest Additions twice, ran the Linux Mint update program, and installed some mouse software I found in...

maybe Spinrite will see it??

Because of the mess in Japan, Ive seen prices on some items starting to rise. Low end MSI video cards were ~$40.00- now they are closer to $60.00 and the available models has deminished.

What is aBlackX and how is it connected to your computer. Can the BlackX 'see' more than 2TB? Nevermind: The specks on the BlacX say 'up to 2TB' and it is connected by a usb 2.0 cable. Maybe attach your hard drive directly to the motherboard would help

I have one computer that has 28 scheduled task on it. We always leave the scheduled task window up so we can see what's happening, if there was a problem, and whats running. The Windows 7 scheduled task window must be refreshed manually if want to see what is happening or what happened. Windows...

I agree Merc. But it is the only micro atx case I've used that takes an odd power supply. I just keep a couple of spare MT352's PS on hand.
