Here in the UK we say FORD = Fix Or Repair Daily :) BTW, Hello everyone, I've not been around for a while, just thought to stop by :)

I'm still using Intellimouse 1.0 and 1.1A, the former I got back on 27th October 1998 :D I'm so used to them anything else feels annoying. Opticals I find glide along too easily and are very light.

I've never used one of those, although heard good things about them. Are they really that good?

I've been up I think around 50 hours or so. Towards the end I would laugh uncontrollably at the most trivial of things, feel extremely hungry, shiver for no reason and have some mild hallucinations. And to think some pay big dollars for drugs to do that to them.

Well done pradeep!

NTFS support is good. The problem is, I've not yet been willing to leave my machine in DOS for 20 hours till it does its stuff. Apparently it has an option to install it on a USB flash disk or make a bootable ISO to burn on CD. Good stuff.

I use Hardware Sensors Monitor Pro. Nice simple interface, small size and generally neater than MBM. Ever since that came out a few years ago, I stopped using MBM which ended up bloated and full of useless features IMO.

My neighbours system runs a FSP 300W PSU with 8 hard drives, 3 opticals, a 2940U2W, P4 2.4, 512mb, and Radeon 9200. Works fine but the cabling is a nightmare. I never understood the point of a fanless PSU. There is going to have to be a fan somewhere in the system anyway to extract heat from...

I find that using external USB2/Firewire enclosures with a regular 3.5" drive is a more reliable option and costs the same. Plus, if you swap from machine to machine you dont need to buy an extra receptacle thing, whatever its called. Only downside is if a machine doesn't support USB2 in which...

Does that affect Windows 2000 as well?

Thanks Merc... useful to know.

If you have a high res camera or save in uncompressed TIFF format, the resulting images can be several megabytes in size which means it will take a few seconds to save the image.

Thats a little more than I was expecting to pay... I've built the illuminator with 15 leds but not had time to test it properly. A quick test seems to show that it is way too weak to light anything beyond 1 ft. But that was a quick test with my Canon A30 and possibly with an incorrect voltage...

Well it certainly sees the flashes of a remote control pointed at it quite brightly...

Thanks for the info. I've found a place that stocks them. The camera is actually a color one, will that not work?

Please do. Thanks

Thanks for your help jtr1962. I notice that the quoted power varies significantly from type to type, with the brighter IR LEDs in the 35mW range. I will try a few but pointing three remote controls at the wall 10 inches away while simultaneously transmitting in a dark room doesn't appear to...

Also, would the cluster of LEDs need to be a particular shape or placed in a particular location with respect to the camera?

Hi guys, I've got a CCD camera which appears sensitive to IR (pointing a TV remote at it shows the IR LED blinking), I'm wandering if I can just get a perforated PCB, mount a few IR LEDs on it and use it as nightvision? If so, does anyone know what specs are required for the LEDs (wavelength &...

I'm pretty sure SR does noise level measurements from a very close distance as opposed to most other noise measurements which are from a distance of 1m.

Can't see any videos?

I've had these provided with almost all cases I've used, though I never bother to fit them.

Oops, didnt see the second page there. My reply was to Time's last post.

I doubt it would be able to go significantly faster than 400km/h even without the limiter. It takes a hell of a lot to go that fast, although the Maclaren F-1 did manage 391km/h with just over half the power... I've gotta say I much prefered the looks of the old EB110SS to those of the Veyron...

this has probably been menioned already in the thread but I wouldn't remember, www.whatsthebloodypoint.com The guy who owns the site leads on the Nigerian scammers for ages and the results are posted there for all to see. On a similar note, the other day I bid on a Mac on Ebay for a friend. I...

Try Gucci Rush. The only perfume that is not only tolerable but has some other nice effects (for me at least) :wink:

Thanks for the link

I dont know about the particular one but the Cheiftecs I've seen that are supplied with their cases have been of good quality.

To confirm, all recent Antecs I've seen (both truepower and smartpower) have been CWT designs with CWT clearly visible on the transformers. The CWT PSUs are significantly cheaper than the Antec ones, I've got a pricelist for a CWT 550W dual fan, boxed which appears spec wise identical to the...

It specifically says horse whips. When shopping for sex-toys I use a different email address :lol:

Happy Birthday :)

Latest ridiculous spam: Dear sir: Happy new year! Do you need saddlery? Our factory is a saddlery supplier located in changzhou, China. We are manufacturing many kinds of horse whips,for example:leather whips,plastic whips,strong whips,soft whips,etc. Our factory is a very efficient...

Its not silent for sure :)

How quiet do you need it to be? My choice, if the ZM300 is too loud, would be to swap the fan for a Panaflo L1A. I have done this and its really quiet.

If you open a 300 and 400 up to compare, the 400's heatsinks are positively massive and thick, and they come with a top quality NMB fan. The 300W versions come with smaller heatsinks and a Protechnic fan - its not a known brand although it seems of good quality. Having used several samples of...

I would go with the Zalman if its cheaper. They are good PSUs and quieter than the True Powers.

I like these boards for budget systems as they are very cheap (under £40) for the quantity and quality of onboard stuff they include. For the same price you could get an ECS board with onboard SiS graphics and audio of much lower quality and questionable stability.

I've had good luck with the Asus A7N266-VM which is an early micro ATX nForce board with onboard everything. I believe Tony used to use these some time back.

Can you not get hold of the FSP300-60PN (PF)? It has passive PFC but much better than none at all. Some users say that the PF version has a louder fan than the non-PF versions, I haven't been able to test this for myself as I cannot get hold of the non PFC version but even the PFC versions are...

If you want quiet I'd go with the 300-60PN, the Sparkle/FSP that jtr1962 linked to will likely be pretty loud - many of FSP/SPI's PSUs come with a noise killer with a linear response curve so you usually have the fan running at full speed or close to that within a few minutes of powering up...

It does sound like a PSU related problem with that chirping. I take it you can't borrow a PSU from anyone else?

I wouldn't expect you to have problems at 75F... sure you don't mean C?

Yes Yes, it should comfortably handle it as maximum dissipation allowed will be 20W and we're only asking them to dissipate under 10W.

Yes you are paranoid... 40C is just above human body temperature. I used to run mine more like 65C for over 18 months, painful to touch the heatsink but it never crashed or caused problems. The CPU (an XP1800 Palo) is running happily in a friends machine now. With the depreciation of CPUs and...

they are the ribbed/vented Panaflo - supposedly slightly lower noise than the regular ones. It is commonly believed that the SilentBoost is simply a Thermalright SLK800 with a Panaflo on top.

To clarify, 25dB *each* at 7v

running those fans at 7v should give more like 25dB which will likely be plenty quiet for a server room. Five fans at 43dB are over 50dB combined and thats in free space, not mounted on a heatsink or enclosure so I can imagine how things could get out of hand.

Yes, the ones which are adjustable with a screwdriver are referred to as trimmers, trimpots or presets. I could just use a pot by itself but I know this particular selection of components gives a voltage range of 5 to 10v from min to max, and can handle virtually any fan one can throw at it...

Actually I didn't buy a second fanmate, I made it myself with a 1k trimmer and a 7805 regulator... I made a load of them and sold them on ebay :) Yes I could just 5v one fanmate but this was simpler :)

I'm here, as expected ;) Take a look on www.silentpcreview.com, they have some very good testing procedures for quiet heatsinks, PSUs, etc. Currently, the Thermalright SLK900U, Zalman CNPS7000AlCu, or Thermalright SLK800U are good choices, in that order. For fans, a 92mm is ideal as you can...
