I'm currently running a Duron 1200 in an Antec Aria SFF case. It gets pretty hot in there and the system is too noisy for my liking. It's time to get more up...
Nice concept Steve... I run an Antec P180 myself, and swear by it. As distinct to the Lian Li that I swear at. I find my 1600 Athlon in the Lian Li getting...
Unfortunately, the Aria is the main reason for your system being loud and hot. It has poor airflow and the PSU is the only exhaust. This means all the heat in...
Mike, I've been meaning to send you a note on that comparison article. I think there must have been an incompatibility in the BIOS or somewhere else that...

Would you name a quiet and cool running case? I seem to latch on the loud hot ones.<G> Dennis Jenkins ... From: "Mike Chin" <mikec@...> To:...
Interesting, Terry. About the HP Intel system -- it was as uptodate as possible w/regard to drivers, BIOS, etc. Nothing was really adjustable in the BIOS, and...
Well Dennis, and Steve I suppose, I like my Antec P180, and I am buying a second one for my new computer as I like my current one so much! They are not...
I completely agree on John Paterson statement in regards to the dual-core / hyperthreading. 2 CPU's will yield you a more responsive system; which not ...
From opinions I'd seen elsewhere I was suspecting that the Aria might have to go. I may well leave the old MB in there and use it elsewhere. The Antec...
John, On the OS issue, I haven't used Windows on my main PC for 18 months or so. I have a couple of very old machines running it (PIII/600 laptop with W2K and...
I have a 42u rack cabinet for my computer stuff. I plan to put a filter in the bottom, then a fan that pulls the area through the filter, blows into the front...
Sorry, but there are a few problems with this particular idea. The Rack and Environment people at Compaq headquarters Houston filled me while I worked there....
I think you mean "sones" rather than "zones". Sones are decibels measured at a fixed frequency (1kHz). 1 sone is 40dB SPL at that frequency. Here are a...
The cabinet I have is an inclosed unit. It has a clear door with weather striping. There was a flaw in the design as there was not enough room for the handles...
As others have said, it is difficult to get sufficient airflow in a rack to permit good cooling for all the equipment in it. In your case, if I understand your...
... water ... My my main computer is water cooled and I was going to have centeral water cooling in the rack, but modern heat pipe heat sinks do a good job of ...
Timothy, it sounds like a good rack to enclose. I would still be careful about the project. Add the computers into it one at a time for instance. One thing...
... type; and other devices you will be placing into the rack. Rack type computers are typically not noise conscious as designed, so there will be a problem...
I got a bounceback on the last message sent. Guess yahoogroups forwards bounce messages. As I have a constant problem with mt domain host and ISP both using...
Timothy-- A couple of suggestions, perhaps? Your present setup sounds much like mine was only a couple of years ago. Far more complex than I liked, resulting...

It is an error to rely upon RAID as your only backup strategy. Since you have a recordable DVD, I would suggest doing a regular backup of any critical data...
... The DVD is on the linux computer and I am still setting it up. I don't know that much about linux and free time to figure it out is limited. The Linux ...
Hi John: I appreciate your comment: "PCs have two air paths these days: front to back back to back not my favorite type of case!" I became aware of this...
Well Maher, there are certainly a few of variations on these themes these days, and I have had enough computers to know about most of them. I have chopped and...
I've heard people complaining about that same message lately. A yahoo goofup as far as I know. Dennis Jenkins ... From: "Timothy D. Lenz" <tlenz1@...> To:...
I had about four of them when I sent my last reply to you Timothy. However the reply was correctly received. Very strange. Would you agree that Yahoo has a...
