  1. I haven't done any liquid cooling myself either, but I'm kinda familiar with it... Liquid cooling, from what I've heard, can be hard to install, but I don't think you need to take apart your computer. For prices, I'm not an expert on that either, but for some reason $100-$200 come to mind (don't take my word for it, though, i'm not an expert ). Also, good luck! Its a good way to learn about the cooling process.
  2. Well....just wanted to add my input to the post.... I have re-installed IE6 after my computer had a homepage hijacker (many, many years ago, before I knew how to remove them), and checking back on the installer, its .5MB--480 kilobytes to be exact. It worked for me in the past, I'm sure that .5MB file is going to work.
  3. Truthfully, I'm not an xbox fan, but I find good and bad things about all the systems. Xbox is getting better all the time as they get more intune with the gaming world, and they have excellent titles behind them such as Halo, Project Gotham and Dead or Alive. However, with the Xbox 360, i've heard that overheating is a big issue and simply that the system is too buggy. Though, still a decent system. PS2 has amazing 3rd party support. There are so many games for PS2, many of them great, that you won't get bored with it. It has been made well IMHO, I feel its a solid system. DVD playing functi
  4. As CurlingSteve said, I usually find removing dust from the inside helps a lot. If you can't figure out why its over heating, maybe you can consider an external cooling pad as a last resort.
  5. Just to clear up, I believe the processors Apple was using were made by primarily by IBM as well. Wasn't the Powerbooks processors made with only IBM processors? And, although AMD could have been a good choice as well, Intel was, well, not a bad choice either. I would have liked to see Apple stick with IBM and be a bit different from the crowd, but with the heat issues I've heard they were having with the G5s I guess it was time to go a different route. However, we have yet to see if these Intel processors mean a lower price for us.....I'm hoping so, I always wanted an Apple computer .
  6. yeah, buy.com is pretty reliable....though, i'm not sure how reliable their rebates, etc. are. If i've seen a TV commercial of them, i'm considering them pretty good .
  7. Well, thats a card you can get, but that paticular one, in my opinion, is a bit pricey. From Buy.com, a 256MB is $10 (link) and a 512MB card is $20 (link). Compliments of Ben's Bargains .
  8. Water cooling, as sethook said, follows the phrase, "Go big or go home". If you are going to be having hardware the runs at high temperature, and you're worried about air ventilation in your computer, then, maybe, you should get water cooling. Not that water cooling isn't good enough, its just that there is so much maintenance, setting up, and potential risks that its not worth it. Getting an extra fan, avoiding ribbon IDE cables to increase air flow, and other small things could fix heating problems.... Your system does looking demanding, but in any case, I'd try to avoid water cooling...too
  9. THat site may be wrong though, so Ill do some more research on that topic. I agree with you on taking the blue tooth option first. So far it seems to be MUCH more cost efficient. I'm not sure about cost efficiency, but maybe more practical--This way, you have the option of using Bluetooth in the future with different devices.... I'll do some research too and get back to you.... ~Murtu52
  10. Truthfully, I'm not sure if it'll work--I've never tried mixing and matching Bluetooth devices. However, I read both specs, and the adapter is Class 1, and the headset is Class 2. I don't think those two will go together (I believe the latter, class 2, is a cell phone headset). Then again, I'm just assuming because I see they are 2 different classes; they may be able to work together. If you want to/can, you can try to get a wireless headset that comes with its adapter. You won't have bluetooth for your computer, but its certainly an option. Try pursuing the bluetooth route, first, in my opin
  11. Well, if you look around on ebay, some people sell for a considerable amount cheaper...I believe my friend was selling one for $500. Its hard to locate them, but I'm sure there are some auctions that are in your financial range.... Also, by the way, sped, from what book is your signature from? I can't remember the name!
  12. Good luck. I found this website when I looked around the web: http://wiki.ehow.com/Unlock-Your-Nokia-Cell-Phone Enjoy!
  13. I also found one a few days ago on digg, I liked it so here you go : http://etheism.org/doku.php?id=programming:cpp Enjoy....
  14. Hi, I'm in great need of a web designer. If you are an experienced, good web designer (or at least think you are ) and you are going to have some free time in the future, please PM me. I need your help! Thanks, ~Murtu52
  15. I would try running the battery down to 0%, then recharging it, and see if that works. Usually "resetting" an iPod works, but i'm not sure....
  16. I also use dBpower AMP, easy to use for straight conversions. Although, the conversion time is 1:1, basically meaning you have to wait the time for it to play to convert it. There are other converters out there that convert faster, but with faster conversion there is also a loss in quality.... Anyway, dBpower AMP is my favorite audio converter by far, I'm glad you like it
  17. Thanks a lot for these links, good way to research . I'm debating whether to get the laptop or not....I mean, excellent, EXCELLENT price to get an OK laptop, but my family already has one and i'm building up a collection of comp parts, i don't need to add to the pile....What do you guys think? I could still find use for one, but not desperately needed....Should I get one anyway?
  18. Its definately not a bad laptop, C-M can do a bit more than just surf. I'd say its worth the money, for a combo drive and etc., I'm certainly thinking of getting it...

    Fortran

    I need help writing a ForTran 90 program involving matrices. I need to know how to input a matrix into Fortran90 to be used in subroutine. Please help. Thank you.
  21. Quite right--blender uses python.....
  22. There are many, many programs out there that do 3d rendering--and not to mention the amount of skill it requires. Still, its pretty fun playing about in the 3d world--just beware, it really makes your head spin . As I said, there are many programs out there that will help you do this, and if you want to actually get into this, I commend you, and good luck, because it takes a lot of practice and experience to even think about getting to the level you are seeing in those pictures. Well, that aside, lets get started (please don't take me as an expert in this field, I'm just a guy who's basically
  23. Well, maybe we should compile something like that...Awesome idea! We should have a whole section dedicated to common problems. When someone fixes a problem, we record how it was fixed, and we basically paraphrase what the problem was, and how to solve it. As more solutions are found, that entry grows. Soon enough, especially with such a big forum, we would have a huge database that would truly be helpful for the regular user....only needing to post a question on the forums if the solution doesn't work for them, or their problem isn't yet on the list.... Anyone see what I'm saying?
  24. Well, I don't know if you'll like us, but my friend and I started a hosting business and we are looking for more people to host. Drop us an email at [email protected] and tell us what you want, we'll see if we can help you. Thanks.... Also, a friend of mine uses a comany called CrystalTech (www.crystaltech.com). They're a bit pricy, but he's extremely satified--He has huge bandwidth requirements and he's doing pretty well. Check them out if you are interested...
