<0> so crts look better then lcds?
<0> i thought lcd was supposed to look better
<4> Depends on what you use it for
<0> like games
<1> from the side it looks better
<4> the best CRT are a little faster
<4> but thats it
<1> Langly1 do you get solitaire on that?
<1> and have a better image quality
<1> better black
<0> my lcd only lets me run 72hz
<0> is that normal
<1> yup
<3> solitaire on what?
<0> i should keep it on 72
<0> ?
<1> http://langlyweb.no-ip.com/desk3.jpg#
<3> which one :P
<1> lolol
<0> the lcd
<4> check in your manual what is the highest hz your screen supports
<1> sickman when you say "it doesn't look right", what do you mean exactly?
<1> could you be more specific
<1> ?
<3> Sh4dowcat you have enough voice yet?
<3> I mean really, once is enough lol
<1> is Shad0wcat always so arrogant?
<5> asus have the ****tiest website ever
<6> indeed
<6> and it changes every week
<6> 404s everywhere when you google a page
<6> ****ty frames, flash, javascript windows
<5> god this pc is STILL locking up hard
<5> what are the chances of a faulty CPU?
<6> what makes you think it's cpu
<5> tried almost everything else
<5> Whats the latest intel chipset driver version for a p4p800 motherboard?
<5> **** I cannot find AFUDOS.exe
<5> nm
<5> **** now its asking for a username and p***word
<4> yeah asus really needs to fix their damn page
<4> it have been bad for ages
<5> and its crap because you cannot go back a version of bios with the windows update utility
<4> i love their mobos tho
<5> yah
<5> gimme a ****ing break
<5> http://www.opendrivers.com/freedownload/212452/asus-afudos-bios-update-tool-v2.07-for-dos-download.html
<5> will any of those downloads work for anyone else?
<7> The Bush administration is studying options for military strikes against Iran as part of a broader strategy of coercive diplomacy to pressure Tehran to abandon its alleged nuclear development program, according to U.S. officials and independent analysts.
<8> god damn
<8> why is it so hard to find a nice case at a reasonable price
<9> like most things, you get what you pay for
<8> indeed..
<8> the acousti cases seem alright
<8> I would like to try for a noiseless pc this time around
<8> if only they looked a bit better
<3> I made a 486 I was using for a low end webserv noiseless once, removed all the fans. didnt overheat :P
<8> http://www.acoustiproducts.com/en/acousticase_c6607.asp
<3> hmm
<10> RogerRabb, you just gotta know what your looking for
<10> there are some good ones cheap
<10> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811119094
<10> such as that.
<10> thats my cheap case of choice right now
<10> with a 400w sparkle "silent" psu
<10> they are going about the acousticase all wrong.
<10> what a stupid company.
<10> thats the most retarded way to make a computer quiet possible heh
<10> other than wrapping the whole thing in foam and ducttape.
<10> wait, thats basicaly what they've done! :x
<10> they've just done a shoddy job because there are airholes
<8> it actually looks like they have done a decent job RuKK
<8> I've been reading quite a few reviews on it, and it seems to work really well, and not make the ambient temp any higher than it needs to be
<10> uhm..
<10> oh christ, look at the design of the ****ing thing.
<10> their working against themselfs
<10> I dont give a **** what reviewers say, they are generaly misleading themselfs, if not you, intentionaly.
<10> not to mention the fact they usualy dont have the first clue about thermodynamics.
<4> You dont read reviews ?
<4> when you are buying something
<8> themselves*...anyway hmm, and you have a clue about thermodynamics?
<10> |Commando, I do, but I usualy find that reviewers are way off in their ***esments, and draw my own from the pics/information they put forward.
<10> yes, I do.
<10> I've been designing and building custom high performance and quiet air, water, chilled water, thermoelectric, phase change and dry ice cooling systems since I was 13.
<5> RuKK: Cool! (literally)
<5> whats a reasonable sort of heatsink/fan ***embly for a 478 pin Intel chip?
<5> nothing too over the top.. Not overclocked
<5> quiet
<10> whats wrong with stock if you just want quiet and your not overclocking?
<8> okay, well I'm all ears if you want to recommend a case for my current pc..it's in a dodgy old case at the moment..
<10> the later intel hsfs are fine, they have good quality temp controlled fans on them, and they come with the cpus.. whats wrong with that?
<10> RogerRabb, I already did.
<8> no window, good emi shielding a must(hence the no window)
<10> <10> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811119094
<8> ah yeah, you did
<10> windows are for fags.
<10> not that I have a problem with fags >_>
<8> not what I'm looking for visually..
<10> ahh
<10> you didnt make any visual requirements
<8> yeah, that's my fault
<10> well, look at the lian li and coolermaster cases
<8> if it didn't have those white/silver polls on the side
<10> take a look at the slightly more expensive coolermaster praetorian
<10> they have a black one and a silver one. both VERY nice cases.
<8> there was a case I found a few days ago (can't remember the name) which looked pretty interesting..
<10> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811119035
<10> lovely case to work on as well.
<10> with the sliding mobo tray
<10> and its not made out of cheap**** aluminum
<10> its actually 1/8" for the most part.
<10> not doubled over 1/16" like most of the low end crap
<8> I'm quite happy with a solid steel case
<10> eh, I did that for awhile, but in the end I like aluminum alot better.
<8> I'm all about trying to get the quietess pc possible, with some subtle aesthetics
<10> problem with steel, is that the edges of stuff end up not being solid because steel is so heavy things have to be thinner.
<10> and because steel is considered "cheap" now, so quality **** isnt made out of it any more, for the most part.
<8> and well I'm stunned how much quieter the new pc is compared to the old ones..so I thought I may as well take it as far as possible
<10> eh, the case doesnt really have THAT much to do with how quiet your setup is. I've never had a case I wasnt able to silence easily
<8> well, take that acousti case..it's using the same principle as houses..to block noise out they use sound insulating foam and such
<8> I've found a dramatic difference between cheap cases - the really thin steel ones, and the thick steel ones
<10> which is a wonderful way to try and avoid the real problem with the sound, and smother your hot new components while your at it.
<11> i have some damn expensive coolermaster case with all the bells and whistles and its like having an helicopter on my room
<10> sure
<11> i guess i should blame intel's stock 775 cooler
<10> if you stick a whole bunch high rpm smallish fans in box, its going to make noise.
<8> I've found the stock cooler on this amd 4400+ to be incredibly quiet
<8> and the graphics card gpu is very quiet too
<11> yeah
<8> so without going water cooling or changing to different coolers, I'm after the best way to get the noise as low as possible
<11> now they should focus on making quieter optical drives
<8> hmm maybe - I wouldn't consider that a huge deal, since you don't usually use an optical drive 24/7
<11> yeah well, but when they are at full speed its incredibly noisy
<8> my old pioneer has always been pretty quiet
<8> lian li release several cases with noise insulating foam in them as well
<11> i really like the 6070B case from them, looks great
<5> would it be strange for a pc which is locking up regularly (hard lock) to be less likely to lock under load?
<5> I like my thermaltake tsunami case, except the plastic fan rattles, and isn't easily secured properly
<11> secured?
<3> I once had a PSU and fan tied inside a case with fishing line
<3> Ironicaly, shortly after getting onto IRC with it I was trout slapped
