Go for it. Let me now how it goes, I'm interested in that PS also.

Beware of the possible problems with that new Antec PS and some motherboards (I think it was Asus A8N). Check silentpc forums. How about the Seasonic 430W? What's the price of that?

RMA it. Just bad luck. Try to boot it again a few times, if you have something important there. Just in case it boots up for a while and you can backup something. Besides that, there are three different groups that I consider when getting drives ;) : 1. 15k rpm (Maxtor or Seagate) 2. 250+GB...

That does it. I'm replacing my Nexus 350W with a Seasonic 500W tomorrow. Been looking at the reviews at silentpcreview for a long time, and drooling over them due to them being so quiet. Running my P4 3.2@3.44 24/7 makes the Nexus quite loud.

I just removed my Nexus 350W PW from the case, and put it on top of my case. MB and CPU temps increased a bit, probably due to less efficient airflow in the case(leakage due to the hole left by the PS), but the PS is much more silent, as it's getting only air of ambient temperature through it...

You need to put the client in 2 different directories, and make sure the machine id on those two are different. And if you have 4 clients, you need to have them in 4 different directories, and make sure their machine ID's are 1,2,3 and 4. Nexus fans are recommended quite highly at...

Version 3 out. Anyone tried it yet? Installing now...

Yeah Greg, don't you have dual Xeons, meaning you could run 4 instances of FAH on that powermachine? My 3.2 P4 is running 2 instances of FAH. It's on 24/7 due to the fact it's quite silent. My 3.2 A64 is only on about half the time. And my fileserver with a 3.0 P4 (don't ask, it was for FAH ;)...

Funny how not using the tape safe to keep tapes safe makes sense ;)

WHAT! I'm in trouble, shall try to pick up speed ;)

Great post Quebecker ;)

Hi, and welcome!

Urgh, need more BOFH.....

Congrats Doug!

Do we have a working RSS solution? Thought I'd try it out....

A BIG round of applause to Doug! Thank you for this site! And an equally BIG round of applause to Merc! Thanks for organizing this!

Hi Greg, for instance you might want to watch some TV series(Stargate Atlantis, star trek, monk etc...) downloaded from the net, or some old movies... J

Ordered this for testing: http://www.kiss-technology.com/?p=dp1500&v=users

Did YOU like it? Did you enjoy the party?

Using a lite-on now (my personal first), LG mainly before that. Both recommended.

My condolences. I'm truly sorry for your loss. Take care.

And GOOD LUCK! Just remember, you're the MAN!

ROCK ON Merc! Try to enjoy yourself! And try to relax! 8)

We're stuck with them, at least in the year 2007 when you can't watch anything with only a tv. They can't even get the subs right 100% of the time.

I'm sure you're right about the epia solution, if the power supply is silent then that would be one of the most silent solutions. So convenient with these set top boxes, my parents have 3 tv's. That would mean 3 set top boxes for digital receiving. And for channels like animal planet and...

I think I might be more comfortable building something on those lines, more like a normal PC, than building an epia thingy. This darn digital-tv thing sucks big time. Finland will phase out analog broadcasts in 2 years time, meaning you won't see anything from your nice TV unless you have a...

Getting a VIA CPU and MB is about 200+euros here, so a bit more expensive. This and a silent power supply, 160GB Samsung, memory and one or two cards from here: http://shop.technotrend.de/shop.php?mode=show_group&sid=a843ae43f76ddeebae2f7286ff3f5bf0&group=2 All this would add up quite a bit :(

I've got my computers in my study, keeping the noise away from the livingroom. If I'm to build a computer and put that in the living room, it would have to be silent, as in no sound I can hear in the middle of the night. It would also need to be small and good looking, to keep me and my wife...

Hi, has someone used these? Any info on the latest version of KISS players or recorders? Thinking about changing my Samsung DVD-player for one made by KISS. The networking side would probably be useful, then I could watch the movies I have on my fileserver in the living room...

GREAT pics, thanks for sharing!

Great stuff :) ... "Before pressing the halon release..." "WE HAVE A WINNER!" the PFY blurts happily. ...

Thanks P! :mrgrn:

Hi folkes, long time no see. Just bought myself one of those, 2 years old, driven 98k km. I'll get it later this week, then I can post a few pics of it. Anyone here been into Saab's? Why wagon(?), because it seems we'll be needing the extra space soon....

I got the oncrap software from samsung (crappy site, want's the serial number of the drive before download, on some pages :( ) . I'll try that first.

Anyone used 160GB drives in a BH6? It finds 137GB, but doing a 10GB partition on it and installing XP doesnt get it to boot from the drive... What to do?

4 new episodes, I know what I'll do today ;)

Howdy mate! (psst, I'll swap some Gin for some 300+GB Samsung Ide drives ;) Thinking about upgrading my Raid-5 from 7*160 to x*400. Unfortunately that means no Samsung :( )

Thanks! Good to be back, not at work, but here. Started one P4.

Hi there, been very busy, and just got back from my 1month vacation. No computers for a month, it was GREAT! Coming back to work, straight to on-call duty, not fun :(. Haven't slept properly since friday....duh..:( Okey, 100th place? Not good, firing up the furnaces...!

Yay, another party! Welcome everyone!

Ahh, I thought it was something like this :)

Yup, if one has done some work on *nix it's pretty basic stuff. Part of my defence for certifications, basic stuff that people working on the systems should know by heart...

Duuh, ABM? :oops:

Congrats! What did you think about the LPIC tests?

One more down, I got the Sun Solaris 9 admin cert. Now if I only got permission (and financial help :) ) to do RHCE.. How about you others, have you done some interesting tests lately?

More fun: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/04/29/bofh_2005_episode_14/

Hi all, isn't it getting about time to have a new election? :) J

Hmmm, gotta rememdy this situation....*going-on-cpu-hunt*

Bonnie++ is a new improved version of bonnie, a HD benchmarking tool.

Hmm, mine seems more quiet than my X15-36lp at idle!? The seeks do make noise, but I do not find that disturbing. This in a Antec 3000B case, with Zalman 7700 at minimum and Nexus 3500 (very quiet even with the 15K). For me it was a pleasant surprise, noise wise...
