Fastest P4 I can get to work in it plus a R9700 (unless I wait for the NV30), coupled with two high speed hard drives (one in HD bay and other in FD bay) with a RAID controller in the PCI slot and of course a DVD-R/RW drive.
Cooling won't be a problem with a few case mods but my only concern is whether the powersupply can handle all the components.....
I am going to start boycotting NYT by refusing to visit their site and bad mouthing them at every opportunity..... oh wait..... I already do that......
only when my life depends one it...... though I will be married soon so after 10 years of marriage I guess I will become a "married virgin" (ie. back to the days of not getting it).
in a related matter.... if they are college students, why aren't they stealing panties from the girls dorms instead of moon rocks - maybe they like sniffing moon rocks more.. [Decency filter activated]
so where is the USA hiding the secret alien research moon base then ???...... or are you a MIB denying the existence of ali.. **FLASH** huh? where am I? Why do I feel like hugging a penguin?
I think that AC was upset about the fact the poster didn't even read the summary fully before posting, let alone the linked story..... the pertinent info was on the 2nd last line/sentence of short summary paragraph - even skim readers would see it.
Now I am just waiting for Dreamcast, PS2 & Xbox ports based on the open source code..... all my anime was leeched or converted by me to.rm format and hopefully I will be able to watch them on TV with my PS2.
nah.... it is recommended that you radio Tech Support to be stepped though the diagnostic checklist of fault finding to discover the best course of action...... if you live long enough - C-A-D is pointless when the system AND the plane has crashed.
Find yourself an old 40x (or so) drive that you no longer need and get ready for some fun (tested on tray load drives only so far).
Grab an AOL or old magazine CD and make a few small cracks (so they don't go into the data area) about 1cm long on the inner edge of the CD (aka the hole in the middle of the CD). Then put it in your high speed CD reader and start reading data - with luck after a minute or so (maybe longer) you will hear a loud BANG and the CD will no longer be spinning:)
Sometimes you tray will eject still but more often than not you will have to take the drive out and shake the bits out. When you are shaking you may find other bits like the small CD laser lens and small pieces of metal - in which case you drive is probably fux0red now....
I did this to my work PC drives.... old Diamond Data and Fujitsu drives that use to piff me off for various reasons:)
You look around hardware review sites you will come across readers stories of similar experiences where the CD structural integrity has failed and tried to spread itself over the insides of the PC case.
That was what I read years ago when someone reviews one of the "demo scene" group members. Think it was the guy who ended working on "Magic Carpet" for Bullfrog.

someone please put me out of my misery and teach me how to make clickable links :(
- HeXa
My karma is already excellent so why would I bother karma-whoring?
/. way to do it yet :(
.... thanks anyway for making them clickable.....
Most people prefer a second (or third or fourth) opinion on a product before they consider a purchase.
As for your bitch about not being a clickable link..... it would be clickable if I knew how - I haven't learnt the

look up a few parent posts....

that would be the SS40G..... no AGP slot though - wait and there should be a AMD equivalent of the SS51 soon.
