If the clearcoat is relatively grit/dirt free I would stick to using a compound, no need to wetsand. Do not be aggressive with the compound as there is still enough grit to burn through the paint. Finish it with a nice coat of wax and youre done!
I just installed a second 5770 (i know ghetto) and now get a little bit of tearing due to overheating. I did some googling but can't see any clear winners for a change of non watercooled gpu coolers. WHo makes the best replacement (lowers temps the most). I have this old Lian Li 6070 i cant part...
Oops sorry didnt mean to start a thread that was Off topic. I havent been back on this forum for quite some time.
To be honest the scene is quite a bit different than the early days of the hobby, the bar has been raised considerably since I participated. I just wanted to say hi to anyone who is...
Hey all
I havent built a new machine in a while, but did some research and settled on a P5B + Core2Duo setup. I just snapped everything together, but i am a bit confused how to set up a raid 1 setup using this board. The manual isnt very clear. At first I thought i needed to plug one sata...
So I have been asked by a friend to help him build a HTPC, and I obligingly accepted, although to be honest I havent built a system in over 2 years.
He wants to be able to timeshift record from his satellite (express-vu) so he can watch things 15 minutes after they start and fast forward...
Great, that helps a lot. One last question, I dont have PCI express or 2.0 on my motherboard, is this going to severly botlleneck my throughput of the setup?
Iirc, pci bus is saturated at 150 mb/s ?
Hi
I would like to utilize 2 73.4 Scsi Drives I came into possesion of (Seagate Wide Ultra4 Scsi 10K)
I have a Chaintech 7NJS Ultra mainboard, which I will be replacing in 6 months or so with newer technology.
I do mainly gaming, and would like to buy a scsi adapter card that will...
Is there such a thing? I like the looks of an all steel case (ie no plastic front bezel) and dont want aluminum. Its hard to tell from google if a lot of these cases advertised as ALL STEEL are actually just that. Has anyone had any experience, or know of a manufacturer of them?
Did a search and couldnt find any evidence of this being done. Id like to dip an entire case, panels included, wondering if it had been done by anyone here, and if so, how much did it cost?
I have 12 sticks for sale. Most Samsung but some dell banded NEC.
I also have one stick of 40 ns available. Looking to get $140 per stick, shipping at actual cost. Items in Burlington, have ebay references ifrequired.

Hello
Recently built a HTPC using an Epia M9000 mini itx mainboard. Has svideo out on board. I hooked it up to my 53 inch hi def sony, and movies an games look alright but the desktop is blurry and hard to read.
Anyway to improve the quality of the image?
I did some tweaks using the...
Ive been running that case for 6 months now. I love it, its so quiet i forget its on, not like my last 2 antecs that sounded like Jet planes. The temperatures are maybe 8 degrees warmer, but im running a barton 3200 now vs a athlon 1700 in the last one as well, and a 10 k ide drive. I cant bear...

Looks to be the same case as what i found, thanks for the tip!
Im amazed they wouldnt include the slimline optical adapter...
Can anyone suggest
1. a nice mini itx case (for a htpc), preferably black or aluminum
2. a reputable dealer in CANADA?
I gave up on my case mod, no time anymore, I just want it to be in my stereo rack!
