Yes, the X2 should be compatable with your motherboard. In fact, any socket 939 processor should be compatable with this motherboard. You shouldn't need to do anything to your computer to upgrade to X2 except for removing the old procesor and put the new one in. The only issue you might have, as...

Hmmm, I hadn't heard about this. I don't, however, think the Bush administration is involved in this at all. It would be the, as you said, Christian extemeists and not the government. You have to remember that just because Bush is a Republican doesn't mean he is a Christian extremeist.

2 Raptors in a RAID... tasty.

Personally I would go cheaper on the video card and, if at all possible, get a better CPU. You can never go wrong with that upgrade.

Like, for example, mine. My HSF consists of a Thermaltake PureCU 112 Tower and 2 92 MM Vantec Tornadoes. On mine, air is sucked in on the front side (i.e. near the CD Drives) and is exhausted by the other fan through the fan hole on the back of the case. At no point does any of this exhausted...

Contrary to what you are saying many PSUs are built for more than just powering the system. PSUs are also built to exhaust heat form the case. While yes, of course, a blowhole on top would be good, the PSU would still exhaust. They are designed to do this. If they weren't then they would intake...

Hmm, the Core 2 is a good processor but neither it or the Athlon 64 processors are workstations processors. I would recommend a Xenon Woodcrest for what you are doing. This is exactly the thing they are made to do, so put it to good use. Also, could we get a mod in here to delete post 4 and...

Well, the sole purpose is not attention whoring, it is usage. But, I would rather have a carputer than rims or a custom interior. It will be very useful on roadtrips, the passenger can use it. That is the idea of the wireless keyboard, anybody in the car can use it without having wires running...

Yes. I have mine on a RAID partition, hooray.

You generally do it form a bootable floppy but some motherboards come with software to do it form inside Windows. Either way is relatively easy.

I would keep the 120 mm, it will be quieter and move more air than the 80. Also, there is no such thing as too many case fans, your only limit is your hearing. My current computer has 2 case fans but the CPU cooler has 2 ultra high-speed 92 mm fans on it, each one moving about 100 CFM. If your...

1. The monitor would be dash mounted with a wireless keyboard w/ touchpad so you could sit anywhere. You could stand outside if you really felt like it. You could, in theory, use office apps on it. There is no reason you couldn't but why would you? Maybe if you were on a long road trip. Anyways...

No, put the 2 front as intake, the one on top exhaust, and the rear fan exhaust. You ALWAYS want fans on top exhausting, always.

No, the PSU generally exhausts because PSUs can generally handle large amounts of heat where CPUs cannot. Cold air comes in front of case, is heated at the CPU, rises to the top of the case, and is exhausted by the PSU. Blowing hot air on the CPU is generally considered a bad idea.

Yes, it is, but it isn't a must. Ducts that funnel air to the CPU fan are fairly common in cases nowadays.

DDR533 is fine unless you want to overclock. Also, flashing the BIOS is a process where you update the BIOS data. This is like upgrading a program, except with the BIOS.

Yea, I think the main commercial unit is called the Proteia or something like that. I think it costs about $1000.

No, the back panel fan should always exhaust. Hot air rises, so you pull cold air in the bottom front and exhaust it throught the PSU, back panel, and a blowhole if you have one. Also, as a general rule, you want more exhaust power than intake power. Balancing the intake and exhaust is really a...

You don't need loads of connections, the head unit will only take 2 channels. Look at what I found. A barebone just for the car. It has a DC-DC PSU and can fit under the seat. It will also monitor the battery so it doesn't drain it. It's not a gaming machine but, hey, it has audio and video and...

navigation, and you could have internet if you had a phone with a plan.
