    SSDs - State of the Product?

    What chipset? Was it set to SATA in the BIOS? No onboard RAID in use? Likely you are all set.

    I looked into this about eight months ago for some PA art I got but I really didn't find framing stuff either. Thing is for a cartoon or something you need a whole series of frames and for one or two the price isn't bad but for ten things start looking rather unfriendly. Came up with two or...

    On an IA64 machine / OS does it run x86 code as fast as an x64 machine, or at all? For some reason i remember the performance sucking or not working well at all for non native things. Edit Read the slashdot thing, funny

    Dell PERC 6i brackets

    I only got ten, using one and one was bent in shipping somehow so I have the eight. I figure I am aiming for the people that are getting the cards off ebay. Some in the forums are just letting the card hang! Unknown if i will keep selling them, depends on interest.

    The only thing i had in my parts bin that came close was an old aureal vortex superquad, and the top hole on that wasent even in the right place, it ligned up with the hook thing on the top of the card.

    Damn. Pros: Zero to ecstasy in 3 minutes. Works great on sore and knotted muscles too. Cons: 20 minutes before the unit gets too hot to handle. Not bad considering the "Pros" comment.

    Dell PERC 6i brackets

    If you bought a Dell PERC 6i RAID adapter you likely didn't get a bracket because in Dell servers they typically use a tray. Ditch the tray use this bracket and you can correctly install the PERC 6i in a standard ATX chassi. I am not sure if these will fit a PERC 5i, I think they will but I...

    Hmm, might have to check out prime. I like the newer fans bith ati and nvidia are using on the big high end cards. A big squirrel cage style fan pushes a decent amount of air and doesnt make much noise for most usage. Think they have better bearings in them than the super thin fans too because...

    question Larger TVs

    The manuals for projectors are pretty clear about what they can do and can't and if you are working in the approved distances you can expect it to be perfect. Mine seems to go well beyond what they document though.

    My experience with HTPC rather sucked, constantly maintaining it or trying to get something to work right etc. UI is difficult, was using a msft remote to do common things but then you need to change something and you are getting out a bluetooth keyboard.

    Yes, I would never hard off / pull the plug on a running computer if it could be avoided. Trying to do the graceful shutdown via the power switch, quick 1 second press.

    I certainly wouldn't consider combining the monitor and the player device. The player device fields are changing far faster than I want to get new TV/monitors.

    Yeah, in gpedit I don't have a system entry under administrative templates. Setting the above registry setting didn't change it either. Possibly because those policies aren't there? This one didn't do it either. Windows does not display status messages if the following key is present and the...

    Still using the Aten CS1762 I mentioned above, still really like it. FYI windows 7 fixed this problem below but my XP machine still does it.

    Best advice I have ever read regarding online buying was from a watch forum; "Buy the seller not the watch." If you don't have a comfort level with the sale don't do it. I basically apply this to all online activity and generally it works really well even when selling. Anyway the verified...
