    HElp plz

    No. Also, I would appreciate readable spelling. Anyhow, It would sound like a PSU issue or an overheat. If it is the GPU overheating then the entire PC will not crash, just the video card (at least in my experience). I would get Motherboard Monitor ( http://mbm.livewiredev.com/ ) to check the...

    Computer Start-up Problems, Too much for my psu?

    Yes, it is, infact it is fairly common. You could, however, go to a metalworking shop that can fabricate pretty much anything you want. they could make the case exterior and you would do all the hard work.

    Case Fans: Even Intake and Exhaust

    Vantec Nexus. I used it for a while and I really liked it. The only drawbacks are the fact that it cannot turn fans all the way off and it goes in a 5.25" drive bay. That is why i switched to a 3.5" that will turn off fans. If you don't have a problem with either of those then it is great. It is...

    can i build a pc for $600

    Ok, well here is what I can do for 600 USD. You may not be able to get these parts at these prices in other countries, however. AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2.0GHz Socket AM2 Dual Core Processor - Retail at Newegg.com - $149.00 ASUS M2NPV-VM Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail at Newegg.com -...

    Case Fans: Even Intake and Exhaust

    Hmmm, you could get a fan controller. I happen to have a spare.

    Reasonable Temperatures?

    Is it just me or is there no CPU posted there. It's an AMD 64 of some type but a model number would be nice.

    Recommended High-Performance Workstation CPU (AMD - Intel) Present-2006

    Yea, the Opteron 100 and 1000 series doesn't have SMP support, the 200 and 2000 have 2 way support, and the 800 and 8000 series has 8 way support.

    Case Fans: Even Intake and Exhaust

    Yea, or directly into your HS fan. When the air has gone through the heatsink it is then exhausted by the fan on the back and PSU.

    Network control

    I'm not 100% on this but I'm pretty sure this is how it works: hubs split the connection, switches switch it between computers, and routers can give different amount to different machines. Also, on most home routers can cut off internet access to certain ports always, or during defined times...

    The Perpetual Upgrade Thread

    Hmm, food or SCSI 15k hard drives? I think the choice is clear, 15k RAID here I come.

    Photo realism anyone?

    Yea, but even with that one being concept art, the terrain is far more detailed than 2004. that was the first thing I noticed when I saw the screenshots. If my CarPC doesn't drain ALL of my money then I might get this one.

    Computer Start-up Problems, Too much for my psu?

    Yea, but at this point I don't think cooling is at the top of the computer industry's to-do list. BTX was just a band-aid to keep the Pressys cool until they could release a new processor line (Core 2). Besides, BTX motherboards are the fit into ATX cases, so it wasn't really a full redesign. It...

    Case Fans: Even Intake and Exhaust

    ... Well I see it is stock. I think the stock AMD fan intakes air form the side of the HS opposite the motherboard: >> deontes airflow -----------| -----------| F >>------| A >>------| N >>------| -----------| -----------| If that is the case then the fan on the side would intake and blow...

    Computer Start-up Problems, Too much for my psu?

    Hmm, that is a pretty good idea. The top fan would have to be 120 MM yo get all that air out with some hint of silence. I would say the main reason this isn't being done is that it would require all cases to be redesigned. That won't happen until an all new PSU and motherboard form-factor comes...

    Case Fans: Even Intake and Exhaust

    Well, what is the arrangement of your HSF? How is your fan oriented?

    opinions on my new computer please :)

    You sound like me, I have the computer I'm on now, an old Sony that I don't use beside me (no OS), a P4 at my other side that only runs F@H 24/7, an old HP behind me (too terrible to even mess with, it has ME and 64 MB of SDRAM), and 3 empty cases. Then there is my mom's computer, my dad's work...

    Recommended High-Performance Workstation CPU (AMD - Intel) Present-2006

    Oh yea, forgot about the report button, maybe it's because I've never had to use it. Thats probably a good thing. Hmm, I didn't know that the cores of Xenon/Opteron and their mainstream counterparts were fundamentally the same. You learn something new every day. I did know that they had more...

    which is better

    I'm not positive but I think all nForce 4 chipsets support dual core.

    Well, the fan on the side whould intake and the fan on the back should exhaust.
