<0> isn't the xbox dvd just a normal dvd-rom anyways?
<1> hmm, seems unlikely any significant amount of smoke got into my xbox
<1> flyback-, basically yeah
<1> the internal components are the same
<0> http://www.certiguide.com/apfr/cg_apfr_TestinganATXPowerSupply.htm
<0> that's not 100% accurate but close enough
<1> flyback-, like this? http://www.llamma.com/xbox/Repairs/cleaning_your_dvd_drive.htm
<0> yep
<2> hey flyback, i am planning on buying an HDD enclosure, is there anything special I need to look out for or do they all do pretty much the same thing?
<0> pretty much the same
<0> although one with a fan is best
<0> and usb 2.0 and firewire both is nice :)
<0> I have just a usb to ide cable for temp jobs
<0> best $9 I ever spent
<0> freaking awesome
<2> really, $9, ****, cheapest one i find aree in the $20s
<1> flyback-, where can i find a "high quality lens cleaner" to use with the Q-tip?
<0> this is just a cable dude
<0> not enclosure
<2> oh
<0> enclosure is better for carying around all the time
<0> cable is for temp jobs
<0> like if I put in new system for cuastomer
<2> ya, hmm
<0> I can hookup old hd to get files off
<0> also now I can attach cdrom drive to mylaptop
<0> cause the onboard dvd-rom is ****
<0> loses data
<2> maybe i'll just get an enclosure then
<0> depends what you want it for
<1> flyback-, where can i find a "high quality lens cleaner" to use with the Q-tip?
<0> if you plan to just carry 1 hd around withyou all the time
<0> joe444 any cd or dvd lense cleaner should be good
<0> they are really just isopropyl alochol but you need pure grade cause spots will cause problems
<1> how about diluted rubbing alcohol?
<2> ya, are these things quick to use, like can I just plug this in on any windows xp machine and it's ready to use or do I have to install software?
<1> ok so if i can find 98% isopropyl that will work?
<0> joe no cause they aren't always that pure
<0> also I would think about getting a lense cleaner q-tip or foam
<0> something made to do it
<1> i know one of the drug stores around here has 98%
<0> cause you don't want to scratch or leave fibers behind
<0> oh?
<0> if it only containes water and alcohol as ingrediants
<2> brb
<0> and no smells or colors
<0> it might be fine
<1> yeah i used it for cleaning my gl*** pipes :)
<0> make sure it's isopropyl
<1> leaves them looking brand new
<3> flyback u smart *** :P
<0> joe pot pipes?
<1> si
<0> ?
<1> si = yes in spanish
<0> ah
<1> "see"
<0> soaking them in sodium percarbonate + sodium carbonate otherwise known as oxyclean does also
<0> I was joking around with a friend and he tried it and was like "DUDE!"
<1> never used that stuff, but i know friends who used Forumla420 and it would leave gross residues behind... isopropyl dries out completely
<0> it's good stuff
<0> I usei t on all my clothes plus cleaning plastics like for recycling
<0> but the generic is the same thing so I don't pay extra for oxyclean brand
<0> don't soak more than 1-2 hrs though
<0> it won't hurt it but it leaves a calcium chalk residue behind
<0> DO NOT USE ON METALS ESPICALLY ALUMINUM :p
<1> yeah that's why i would shy away from stuff like that... at least for my pipes
<1> isopropyl leaves NOTHING behind except a slight odor
<0> true
<0> why I use it to clean boards :)
<0> and cpu's and ram sticks etc
<1> but of course some high quality herb will overpower that after just a bowl or two :)
<0> just gotta be careful on some plastics
<0> espically blast plastic on keyboards and remotes
<0> and many clean plastics
<0> it will attack
<0> polycarbonate - cd's dvd's it's ok on
<1> oxy or isopropyl?
<0> iso
<0> the only plastic I seen oxyclean attack was a foam rubber mat used on a furnace filter
<0> and it's possible it was already turning to dust before
<0> plus it was like 18 yrs old
<1> heh
<1> i'll keep that in mind
<1> thanks
<0> feel free to idle here any time
<0> doh
<4> YES! flyback is going to locate the missing parts for his brain so he won't be such a nut bar anymore :)
<5> lol
<6> Radeon 9600 SE vs Geforce 4 MX 440....FIGHT!
<3> he got brain ?
<3> i was thinking he got chip
<7> try here, considering the price isn't much more at all, think it's worth getting the am2 over 939
<3> no !
<3> hold on to a new Core 2
<3> of intel
<3> that coming out on 27
<3> this month
<7> hmm I can wait that long
<7> just get my case/ps/hd and **** now
<3> they will be much better from all other cpu's
<7> yeah but how much will they be
<3> cost u mean ?
<7> yeah
<5> core 2 nda expired today
<5> :)
<3> bec of that u need to wait man
<5> so actually they can ship them now
<3> bec they much faster in games and all stuf around 15-50%
<5> mine should be here pretty soon
<5> e6700
<5> itll probably be here before my RMAed motherboard gets back here :(
<5> p5w dh deluxe decent motherboard... only 6 internal sata, though. and one external sata if thats all you need like me, then it is a nice board
<3> dude i dont know why
<3> but i think
<3> Asus it not the best boards
<5> from the looks anyways
<3> like they were befor
<5> they have the best board out for the core 2 right now
<5> the intel bad axe dies quickly and doesnt offer as many overclocking features
<3> not gigabyte ?
<5> and as far as i know the p5w is a good board. I think i just got shipped a used DOA one though. The think was scratched before i even openned the box
<5> the gigabyte is a 965 board
<3> i see
<8> Do both the Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe and Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe come with dual PCI-Express x16 slots? On the official website only the m2n32 lists pci-express slots at all. But over at the tech it lists the only difference being the wifi support?
<5> doesnt have 2 pcie
<8> Doesit have any?
<3> dude check on their site
<9> so the new intel cpu coming out in 2 weeks, gonna be the best gaming cpu?
<8> I did
<5> look at a pic
<3> hodl on man
<3> :P
<9> but not the Extreme Edition, thats e-peen material
<3> i will check as well
<9> 2.6ghz?
<8> Well I dont know what it looks like on the pic
<8> I can only read the overview under it
<9> how is this new 2.6 ghz cpu coming out faster then a 3.4ghz
<9> pent D? or regular 3.4ghz pent?
<9> and generate 40% less heat
<9> heh
<8> http://usa.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=101&l3=301&model=1160&modelmenu=1 vs http://usa.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=101&l3=300&model=1163&modelmenu=1
<9> and 40% less power
<5> _rynz-: the NDA on the intel chip was released today. So some places may be even shipping them now... but most likely jul 27 will be the day most retailers ship their products. Im sure right now intel is shipping them to prebuilt manufacturers right now or something like that
<9> how is all this high end **** possible
<9> 40% less power, slower mhz
<9> but much faster
<5> it does more work per clock cycle
