Those three Casetek chassis are very tempting too. 53$ to 55$ each, depending on the color. Anyone has seen those available to Canadian/Québécois customers? I want to get rid of two of my older systems and I need to replace the towers.

Bow System S-6000. No PSU, but 57$ shipped but only in USA. Too bad, I would have needed just that these days.

IIRC from the picture thread, e-dawg is from Asian origin (probably south-east, like Laos) and wear glasses. Forget the blond air bloke, who looks like a typical Ontario guy.

:confused:

Got the board. Not tried it yet. I'm leaving to work in ten minutes. Just wanted to say that Excaliberpc placed 10 CD-R 8X max with the board, so the overall deal isn't as bad as it first looked. Nice from Excaliberpc. Doesn't increase my love for UPS though. Let's say that I give a...

IMO, accumulations of foot-long red hairs around chassis, CPU and PSU fans do far more damages.

What did you expect from something on Tom's Hardware?

I don't remember in which thread it was but e-dawg asked me about my experience with Excaliberpc and the dreaded UPS shipping. Aweful. The Excaliberpc part was fine, but ordering via UPS from the States is a disaster. The little board I was supposed to pay 62.61U$ (87.01$CDN at the moment...

Go to Montréal (especially Mont-Royal). Or even better to Québec. I've never been to Toronto, but Montréal is supposed to be very good looking compared to most other North American cities. In the States, try Boston. Apparently, it's a very fine place. Doug could probably tell you more about...

Technically, Québec is no longer part of the Canadian constitution since 1982. The referendum are only to make that separation official, but IMO, if you're no in the constitution of another country, you're not part of it. Anyway. Take a walk in Québec and take a walk in Toronto. Then dare to...

That's great news Gary. I've been asking for exactly this to happen for the last three years. 2.5" drives are the way to go. I'm tired of the big and clumsy enclosures. Can you imagine how many 2.5" drives would fit into two 5¼" bays if placed vertically like in these modules for 3.5" drives?

China doesn't represents a billion customer potential. Unless it has changed a lot in the last decade, something like half (if not more) of its population still has a lifestyle dating from another century (not the twentieh either). While I'm not an expert regarding China, I would estimate its...

In fact, you're a (fairly good) software guy taking thru his ass about hardware. But that's ok. We need debates. A modern motherboard with cpu overheating protection ill shut down the system before the Athlon dies. What's the reasoning behind the piano part and how's that part more revelant...

I disagree with Honold. And I'm the voice of reason on this one. Three years ago, I was working with the development team of a certain telecommunication multinationale and we were working on its next-generation, bleeding edge product. It was supposed to be the next piece of hardware to serve...

Kingston RAM isn't exactly your local's store cheapo brand you know...

Correction, it doesn't work. I confused the 15% coupon with another promotion that reduces the price of notebooks depending on the price of the portable computer. So no luck for outsiders. Dell's still beatable over here.

Meh, it works. Online coupons work on the canadian web site. Shit, if I only knew. So does it mean I could have had the 500$ PowerEdge 1600C Doug spitted on in February with the two 73GB SCSI drives in and the ServerWorks motherboard? Why didn't you told me? ARRGHH!!! I hate you all! Oh...

And many written coupons obviously exclude non-US residents. Why obviously? Take a look at the address form. City : ok. State : screwed. Zip : here, it's a postal code, not a zip (ex : G1Q 1Q9 instead of 66024). So, Honold, please realize that when Tea, Time or myself write that Dell...

Not long ago, Dell's canadian site, also deserving Québec, didn't even include a spot to write couppon codes. Now they do, but I admit I haven't tried since. Next time there's a super-duper deal, please post a link to the coupon combo so that I could try to include it with my order. In fact...

I ordered a Shuttle motherboard last week from them to test those things (brokerage fees and shipping delays). I should normally receive the board in the middle of the coming week. So far, my VISA has only been charged once for the amount advertized on ExCaliberpc's site. I hope I won't be...

I'm not completly sure that IBM uses Kingston RAM in their laptops, but I do know that Kingston makes RAM certified for IBM's systems. Crucial does too. IMO, the IBM tech guy just wanted to rip Simonstre's co-worker with over-priced RAM sticks, while much cheaper brand/model would do just as fine.

In fact, you do. ExCaliberPC.com sells a few models, this one being their most interesting. They ship passed the northern border of U.S. too for 10.61$. I realize that 22.61U$ is too much for that heatsink, but nothing forbids you to order something else with the heatsink (or to order more...

Why spending that much on the motherboard? Does your father really need all those add-ins the VAXP has? IMO, a better value for him would be either the KT400A-based GA-7VAX-A at 70.62$ or even more the Shuttle AK38N based on the KT333CF (CF because it uses the updated VT8235 south bridge) at...

While this belief is wide spread, it is wrong. Two months ago, I cleaned up and reorganized the wires inside my main computer case. When I powered it up, I notice a significant drop in noise. I assumed it was because I removed the dust from the system fans. Five minutes passed, four of them...

Hi. Many have and will Fine Which means? You plan to buy those two components, or you think you already have them? Whatever. Mercutio already gave a nice AMD suggestion, so I'll make one on Intel's side. Costlier, but probably faster too and the retention clip of the P4 is better than the...

Buy a gagabyte of RAM while it's still relatively cheap. This Fall, it won't.

Please Merc, don't tell me you have chosen to drown your misery into alchool or other drugs. Or is it just the lack of sleep? BTW, I agree with the content.

That's the trick people having problems with VIA and ATI drivers never seem to catch. Installing a driver in normal mode when all sorts of crap is bloating your memory is the recipe for spending four hours and a half on a supposedly simple driver update. I know few do it and many will tell me...

Which 7200.7, the parallel or the SATA version? The serial one is much faster than the PATA. In term or responsiveness, the SATA 7200.7 and the WD400JB are about equal, while the PATA 7200.7 is clearly behind. However, the WD400JB comes with a 3 years warranty, while both Seagate drives...

As far as I know, Dell's coupons are only valid in the States. So beating Dell in U.S. and beating Dell everywhere else are two very different things. I have few problems to believe that the Aussie Mom&Pop clan can beat Dell most of the time. Here, even without the coupons, Dell is better on...

StorageReview has results for the Samsung V80 (5400rpm, 80GB/platter). This indicates that a review is forthcoming. This will be the first review of a Samsung drive at SR in over 15 months. Preliminary results: It's in-line with the WD 800AB on most benchmarks, right at the top of the 5400rpm...

Yes, I thought about the Compucase, but they don't have the front USB ports Steve wants. Otherwise, they would be perfect.

Looks flimsy, but airflow should be good. Don't expect it to be silent though : the metal seems too thin not to fibrate and insonorise the interior components' noise. For 75$ shipped, the best case you could have is probably one of those.

Besides, red kangaroos are much bigger and it shows. Their legs are longer and their muscles are horse-like. No soft meat on them. Overall, they look kind of slimmer.

From the image name, no. http://www.redhill.net.au/sf/Western-Grey-Kangaroo-with-joey.jpg I would guess they are probably Western Grey Kangaroo. :roll:

Scratch "EU", replace with "world".

I'm a bit torn between the Shuttle and this Asus KT400 board. I don't have experience with it either. It would cost me 5.39$ more than the Shuttle. Asus probably has more frequent BIOS updates than Shuttle and more options overall. However, for a board that "just works", it's probably no...

I heard there are white sharks in Hawaii. I hope he'll be surfing at the wrong place/wrong time. Diner time, fishy fishy fishy...

Since a @£¤¢#!!!! lame b@$[@Rd prevented me to win Clocker's auction for his GigaByte 7VAX BRAND NEW motherboard for 62$, I have to look elsewhere now to satisfy the need of one of my customer looking for a low cost motherboard. His old motherboard became unstable since he blew up the USB ports...

Hmm... Tea's dislectic disease is getting worse.

I'm curious about it too. Did you see a change in temp. with the duck installed/off? Ditto for the noise level.

I spent half an hour to search the maze that is the CCRA and found little to nothing specific. Nowhere did I find the taxe % they charge on computer equipment. There's mention that anything that cost above a puny 20$CDN is taxable, but that's plain ridiculous! They really want to kill...

Why? Can't you just setup the client as a service and let it run seemlessly in background? She'll never notice. The only thing she has to have is an internet connection (and you to setup the client so that it doesn't dial-up automatically, or else she'll be annoyed).

However, many of the world's largest deserts have grown too (Sahara in particular). The water that goes up in the air is no longer found in the ground. When a climatic change occurs too fast, animal species cannot adapt quickly enough and disapear. No matter how the vegetation changes, most...

On June 5th, at 8:11am, I answered that question in this very own thread. I'm not a reviewer and I've been able to buy VIA motherboards for quite a while. At least one local store and one online store sells them. I never did though, but I could.

Apparently, it was a false alarm : http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/video/display/20030605070910.html

Soltek.

From X-bit Laboratories : Hopefully, ATI's cards prices will drop in result. However, we'll have to be vigilant regarding the quality of the "Powered by ATI" products, as some manufacturers might be tempted to make cost-cutting shortcuts that ATI wouldn't have made on cards sold under their...
