Thanks everybody. NRG, that Zalman bracket you linked to looks interesting. Where does the bracket itself mount? Looks like the shelf into which add-in cards are screwed into? Wouldn't the weight of the bracket and the fan, and the rotating forces of the fan be too much for the shelf to...

Blake, thanks, but the idea is to cut down the noise with little or no rise in temps. I think going with a slow 50-60mm fan should be ok. Howell, thanks. The easiest would be to switch fans without removing the sink from the proc. Without going into the price issue, do your HSFs meet the...

:mrgrn: Guys, guys, the storage will be in our bodies. We'll all be part of the collective. For data transfer, you'll have to, um, exchange body fluids.

No, no, I didn't imply that you were rude! I did figure out how to quote, create web links, etc, but this one trick I didn't have the patience to. Till Buck told me how.....

Since there are system builders here, maybe someone can help, even though most are AMD only types. I need to replace the fans on a couple of Intel retail heat sinks; they're very noisy. The procs are Coppermine P3 800/100 FC-PGA's sitting in Abit Slotket IIIs in a dual Slot-1 Tyan board. So...

Thanks, Buck. As always, you're a real gentleman. Howell, buddy, I'm an old dog and over the years my troubleshooting skills have dimmed a bit from fatigue and from becoming a little ornery. One thing I know for sure is that one can't know everything. It's more important to know how/where to...

You can find some nifty little fans here.The "Miniature Chip Cooling Fans" link at the bottom is a PDF.

Well, Silly, dumb ole me, I've been trying to figure out how you guys don't get the "Quote" title when you quote somebody! If you'll tell me that, I'll tell you how I made the box disapper. Trade? :D

Howell wrote: the method of piping sunlight to the underground area. Unnatual lighting just doesn't cut it for long. Check out Solatube. I've known about them for a while, and always wondered why people that built homes never used these. I too love natural light and will use them if/when I build...

Fool: You didn't include the well-worn, old standby: May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your crotch

The pastels for currency notes would make it look like Monopoly money! Yuck.

CQ, I downloaded it from Nonags, but the link you found will work as well.

Yes! The company moved, and while I moved all the computing stuff, I had weird feelings and refused to move the phone stuff and paid AT&T to do it. The guy showed up, put it in his truck, moved it, set it up, and the voice-mail PC wouldn't boot. According to him, this was an outdated model and...

I spent a lot of time last evening installing and uninstalling several free (including Ultimate Zip) proggies that were recommended here and that got the highest ratings on Nonags and Tucows. They all seem very similar in features, speed and interface (with minor but annoying differences)...

Thanks, folks! I'll check these out. :P

In the mid-late '90s I worked at a small company. We installed a new telephone system with "integrated voice mail" from AT&T. The voice mail part happened to be a PC. I was really crestfallen to see that it was a 486-33 white box PC (with AT&T screen printed on the front); 0.5 GB IDE hard...

Thanks. WinAce "standard" is $29. :(

I currently use PowerDesk 3.03a which came with Fixit Utilities that I bought ~ 4 years ago. It comes with features I don't want (full windows explorer, viewers, etc.). I'm almost done setting up a new instance of W2k, and am looking for a lean/mean utility that can uncompress, compress and...

You had me going back in time there, Explorer! In my brudder's office sits a Dell server with a Brooktrout 2-port ISA fax card in a Dell PowerEdge 2300 - a fairly critical part of the whole setup. It's been working flawlessly for almost 5 years. Brooktrout makes universal PCI fax cards now, but...

If he's running Win98/ME on the P90, use a USB flash drive; they'll have drivers for for those OSes. This would really be the easiest.

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but anyone heard of this guy? He talks about an impending magnetic shift and how the earth's crust will move. Result: midwest will be the U.S.'s new west coast. Yup, and Manhattan, NYC, et. al. will disappear too. There's not much info on the web site (you're...

Blech. Please, leave this one the way it is.

Mark, Please don't get me wrong. I'm not sue-happy either (my significant other's name is something else :D ). I've never sued, even when I had sufficient cause and could clearly win a judgement. Your point about the individual having to go through hell without much benefit, and the liyars...

I can't believe that's legal. Why hasn't anything been done about it???

As blakerwry said, replacement drives should have a warranty that finishes the warranty of the first one you bought. If not, SUE! I'm not a lawyer and don't care for them, but fair's fair, eh? This here below is surely old hat, but bears repeating nonetheless. In the beginning was the plan...

Paid lackeys; PR people; spin doctors. I have never understood these and never will. When all your tarining, skills, knowledge tell you something is bad, how can you take the opposite stance, just for money? I could never do it. Maybe that's one reason I'm not rich. In the monetary sense, that is.

Gee, Merc, I feel your pain. You should actually write a nice letter to WD's CEO, introducing yourself and your credentials (lest he think you're a noobie nut-case), and then cut-n-paste this post of yours into the letter. I mean, that, really. How else will they know/believe what's wrong with...

If there's nothing much happening in the industry, there's not much to talk about, is there? Enjoy your pipe and slippers, tannin. And have a dwink as well.

Aren't the procs being made with the .13 micron process? And they're still pretty small!

Guess you're pretty close to the action, Mark (that Intel guy held without charge and refused bail).

No. Just an affectation. Chalk it down to her age.

And, before you reply, Fushigi, please, just quickly list your m/b, ram brand/model nos. as well. I know they're in this thread somewhere, but please?

Here. None of the hi-rez image links work; the low-rez ones I checked do. Seems small, like the original Pentium. IIRC, the Pentium Pro was twice as large.

Fascinating! Private enterprise at its best.

Merc was right. Time for a car forum.

Pradeep, if it's ok to tell, why do you need such high-end storage capabilities at home? Lots of video cap?

Yeah. Soon they'll link it to your underwear size, how much hair you have on your head, how big your nose is, and how much dental work you have done in a year and how much toilet paper you buy weekly. Don't misunderstand me; my sarcasm is directed at the insurance industry. They'll do anything...

Never mind.

Now, now, honold, what makes you think I get offended at every action the Govt./any corp takes???? We are generalzing a leetle bit too much now, aren't we? More than quantity, I think the type offence matters more. Mowing down bystanders and hauling somebody's ass away for no reason certainly...

SD, I seem to consistently offend you. Perhaps I should suffix all my posts with disclaimers, warnings, and other such fine-print legalese? :-?

Nope. IE5.5 current with all the putty and paint.

The Inquirer thinks that the screwup is because the new processor will be priced less than the current 3.06 GHz P4. Read about it here.

Found thru The Inquirer: here

You're right on, Tea. Couldn't have said it better meself.

Along with power and handling, gimme refinement. Or it's all a waste. I've always been fond of touring cars; sustained high-speed driving.

You're right on the mark there, Coug. This particular article was very well written, I thought, and quite graphically demonstrated that the excesses go on despite all the B.S. about reform. SD: Almost all major sites (Fortune, Forbes, BusinessWeek, Business 2.0, etc.) have a pop or two. While...

Gee, Merc, you have this sneaky sense of humor that has me cracked up most of the time!

Thank you, kind sirs.

Back off, guys! Coug is perfectly understandable all the time. Take two aspirin and come back here in the morning.
