    So I noticed my box was running a little warm...

    I am careful with my hardware. Why wouldn't I be? :biggrin: Might I mention, a few months ago just for kicks to benchmark my cooling capacity, I turned up every fan on my PC to 100% speed. Case fans, PSU fan, and GPU fans. I recall that as soon as I fired them all up I could see some dust...

    So I noticed my box was running a little warm...

    So last night I took it out to my garage to blow the dust out of everything! The system itself was physically clean, with only a thin layer of dust on the hardware. My PC is on 24/7. Here are the average temps of my box before I blew it out. System was overclocked and fully loaded! CPU Core 0...

    Dual Monitor setup

    Video cards these days typically come with one VGA and one DVI port, S-video included or have two DVI ports with an S-video port or HDMI port. There are some cards that only have one DVI port, and of course the older cards only had one VGA port with maybe S-Video. Any modern card though should...

    Rapidshare download problem

    You should have seen how bad Rapidshare was last summer when they removed the download limits for everyone. Their service was so loaded down, I couldn't get any more than 18.5KB/s off of them on any provider >.> that plus some downloads timed out on me. Today I'm getting 54.8KB/s from them...

    I just noticed that they were fixed. They had been broken for months! Glad to see them fixed :)

    Rapidshare download problem

    Nothing other than using proxies to download from Rapidshare (if someone didn't download using a proxy from RapidShare anyways) or trying to change your WAN IP address. For my files, I've always used FileFront though. They've always been the fastest download site I've used as well as giving you...

    What do you think about...

    PRetty cool artwork on DeviantArt. What you uploaded is pretty cool. The leg doesn't look very uniform, but it does go along with the picture in a way :)

    The Pirate Bay Verdict!!!

    I'm sure he did, however he gave it in a different context. Much like how 4chan started the raid on Scientology last year, and if what that post says is accurate, messed with the Internets. In this case, the lawfirms that represented the movie and media industry in The Pirate Bay trial are going...

    ZEN Pinball bounces onto PSN next week for $10

    This is probably the first time in ages I've ever seen a Pinball game come out for a console. I personally recall that the last Pinball game I bought for PC was ages ago, along the line of 9 years ago and they can be fun when you just want to play some and battle someone head to head.

    The Pirate Bay Verdict!!!

    These guys are quite clever. Let's see how long it takes for someone to respond to the DDo$ attack to this lawfirm and how interesting this will be :P

    Raid 5 NAS dedicated computer or specialized hardware?

    They're not really "RAID" Cards, they're simply a drive controller that supports using RAID. Many of the custom built PCs now a days (at least the gaming ones) have built-in controllers that support RAID arrays. Not sure what level they support an array to, but I'm pretty sure it's dependent on...

    Raid 5 NAS dedicated computer or specialized hardware?

    That's perfectly fine. I haven't had any chance to get my hands on an Atom system (which means I need to find a netbook for a sure start) to try to see how much those can take, but considering atoms run at 700Mhz+ range (up to 2Ghz I believe I've seen), an Atom should do fine (not sure about...

    Raid 5 NAS dedicated computer or specialized hardware?

    I Can look to see what is around for you. Other than that, what's wrong with getting a Pentium II/Pentium III Box and using Damn Small Linux on it to run backups, and program the computer to run only when the backups are being saved to the HDDs? I know it's more of an issue with power and such...

    Post your specs

    What's up with running that good of a system with a display resolution of 800x600? Seriously, that's crazy small! :\ Max out the resolution on the monitor and make the system font scheme bigger if you can't see all that well with higher resolutions.

    How much RAM do you have?

    1GB for Vista is MINIMUM for productivity and web browsing (it's barely enough for the OS to fit on itself. You're left with what, 50MB on default setup before it goes to the swap completely?). If you are running games, whether need I say, World of Warcraft or even shooters, you should be...
