    Ford escort vs tree

    4 sale Pentium4 northwood heatsinks

    I have two heatsinks that came with retail intel CPUs that I'd like to get rid of before I move. Both are still in original retail packaging and have not been removed.. I hear that they are supposed to be pretty quiet, but like I said I have never teted them. Anybody game?

    Ever wanted to know the thoughts of car fans?

    Handy, are the door handles that metalisized plastic that Honda uses in some of their cars? I would really like to replace those with metal if so... just a persona preference I dispise plastic in place of metal.

    Getting In Shape

    i don't see how it's possible to lift that much with your legs... simply crazy... After reading this I feel like I am completely out of shape, which is true compared to a couple years ago.

    [NEWZ] More On The SAS Front (Maxtor, Seagate)

    I don't know if you got the gist of everything I was saying. By having more channels I was talking about having each disk on its own channel or atleast dividing your disks up among different channels. The difference here would be like having a hubbed network(all drives on a single channel) and...

    Case for 10HDs (with 18" of a PCI slot)

    I have the case, it's plenty deep. There is a purple plastic bracket that holds both the front and rear 120mm fans. The drive placement is the same whether you use a front fan or not anyway. The HDDs do overlap a standard ATX mobo by about 1/2" to 1" However, the drive placement is such that...

    What to do with a G3 Mac, and old computers, like P3, 450mhz

    heh, i know how you feel. PCs de value so much that they're almost not worth selling if they're more than a couple yers old. The machines you mention are still perfectly usable and would make fine PCs for the majority of home or office users I know. Maybe you could tune the systems and give...

    [NEWZ] More On The SAS Front (Maxtor, Seagate)

    i dont think so... because data goes from the media to the buffer over an internal interface inside the disk drive, the data is then read from the buffer and sent over the interface (SCSI, S-ATA, IDE, whatever) to the controller on the motherboard. as far as I know memory can either be written...

    i was wondering about this earlier.. dont no if I got a reply. Would a full duplex interface really be beneficial when the disks themselves are half duplex by design (cannot read/write simultanesouly, even to the buffer)? I imagine the more independent disks you have, the more beneficial it...

    Another death in the family

    Man, there comes a point where quality of life becomes an issue. I know you have a strong attachment to your pet, but you have to think about what the pet would want, and not yourself.

    Processor or Fan; Chicken or Egg.

    if the fan had got something stuck in it (stopped spinning) could that have caused more current draw and caused the problem? I know it's easy for power cables or zip ties or whatever to get in the way of a fan.

    Narrow thread for pics

    That camera looks sharp. those goats remind me of the petting zoo around here... the gaots get a little too friendly if they see you have food. The best place to see wildlife, in my opinion, is in the wild. While backpacking one year I saw a heard of over 100 Elk (including calves, cows, and...

    The 704 was made to compete with the linksys 4 port when the home routers just started getting popular. The 704 was about 20% cheaper and miles ahead of the linksys in terms of stability and working features. I think the 704 was too well built for D-Link, they wanted something cheaper, and thus...
