    Temp monitoring fan controller?

    Does anyone know of a fan controller with temp probes that is still available? More fans the better (I have 8 right now). Most of my google-ing comes up with dead links. I'm not interested in a Digidoc because of noise, I want temp-variable speed. I'm also not after a multifunction panel...

    I'm trying to get a friends machine up and running with his Frys-special PC Chips M825G v9.2 and Sempron chip (2200+?). The board doesn't come with a Sempron supporting BIOS to start, so a flash was required. Without the flash the chip is recognized as a AthlonMP 1050MHz. This is consistent...

    Home Server backup on the cheap

    What would be the best way to back up a home RAID array on a budget...120gb raid1 array? I was thinking about a 120gb external USB drive...that's the only way I could see to have sufficient off-line storage for a decent backup. Don't have enough cash for a tape drive and tapes (eek!) Would...

    Budget PC build for EQ2

    I know, a contridiction in terms, but I gave the guy a quote with what a mid-range build would cost and he about died from the stickershock. Here's a build with prices, mostly from Newegg. Would this run well enough? Especially for someone who is a new gamer? This does at least hit the...

    Black line moving down screen in Doom 3

    I have just started to play D3 on a new P4 3ghz w/ 512mb GF5700. When I hit certain angles in the game, I get a horizontal black line, 2 inches wide on a 21" monitor, moving up and down the screen. Since these certain angles are something like HALF of the time...it renders the game...

    trying to get 4 video outputs on HTPC

    Hello, I am trying to make a pretty flexible HTPC design, one allowing a maximum of video outputs. Using a AIW 9600 Pro, how can I get HD15, Composite, S-Video, and Component outputs? Not all have to work at once. I know that the 9600 Pro has dual VGA, is it possible to leave one VGA open...

    Coolest chip?

    Which of the current All-In-Wonder chips is running coolest? I seem to recall that the 9600 runs pretty cool, which I would assume means that the 9200 does. I'm looking for an AIW card to run in a quiet HTPC. Mostly passive cooling, if not fully so. Thanks!

    Too Stupid to find the [H] Thermal Paste Roundup

    I can't seem to find the link for the thermal paste roundup/article done on the [H] last year. I'm actually looking for the non-silicone grease that came out on top. On a side note, weren't some of the other manufacturers moving away from silicone? This is generally important to me because...

    Building a Surge Protector into your box?

    While this is very nifty, especially in a Pelt setup, it's not quite what I'm after. 1. Smaller footprint at LAN 2. More organized external cable layout 3. Ability to integrate more spiffy shiny peripherals into my mod w/o invalidating their warranty(s)
