<0> The good part is that my PSU has a 120 mm fan underneath which ****s air and blows it out.
<1> KimmoA, i could bet that the tiny fan next to the HDD only provides local air flow and doesn't really affect the cooling performance of the whole case.
<1> it's just good to have any kind of airflow around the HDD, be it cool air or warmer air.
<0> Well... there was no thing to attach the fan on the back... :(
<0> Or maybe you can pull out that purple plastic thing...
<0> The secondary one, that is...
<1> (***uming you're not blasting the disk with 60C hot air)
<1> you could always extend the wire a few centimeters? shrink wrap and a soldering iron ;)
<0> <:/
<0> The back seems to want a 120 mm fan.
<0> Huge.
<1> but quiet
<0> Yeah. I love large fans.
<1> 80mm case fans are a curse
<0> But oddly enough, there was nu purple thing included for it...
<0> Only for the HDD cage one and the weird one UNDER that.
<1> a plastic bracket for the fan?
<0> I don't know who's crazy enough to buy TWO 80 mm fans to the front...
<1> what case?
<1> i had 5 case fans in my old pc
<1> 2 in the front and 3 to the back. noisy as hell :P
<0> http://www.chieftec.com/products/dragon/da01_new.htm <-- The black one. Wonderful case.
<1> yeah, chieftec cases are physically the same as antec cases
<0> Really cheap too...
<1> umm, lol? that's the same case i bought 3 years ago? are you sure it has 120mm fans?
<0> HMM... its description doesn't mention any 120 mm fan.
<0> Well... it looks like you could put one there.
<1> Optional 4 x (80 x 80 x 25)mm cooling fans.
<0> It has like four holes.
<0> I can only see two places where 80 mm fans could be put.
<1> and i had four 80mm fans in them + the 92mm fan above the PSU
<0> You bought it three years ago?
<1> almost 3
<0> ABOVE the PSU?
<1> are you sure you gave me the right link? :)
<0> Hehe... that blue one isn't THAT bad when you think of it.
<1> mine was a full tower with room for 5 fans and the PSU
<0> But I wouldn't wanna have it unless I had lots of other hardware with "normal" colors.
<0> Midtower...
<1> that's the one in the link
<1> oh
<0> http://www.chieftec.com/products/dragon/DA01-B-D.jpg
<0> That's a middy.
<1> that's the full tower, i think. looking from the image
<1> but i know what you mean
<0> Nah... it's the one.
<0> Some midtowers look high.
<0> Hightower... fulltower... :S
<1> i ***ume the mid-tower is similar in construction but only with the top 15cm cut away.
<0> You know the back with the many holes for air to blow out?
<1> yes, square holes?
<0> It has four mysterious holes around it.
<0> As if you are supposed to put a laaaarge fan there.
<1> hmmz, they might indeed have a new revision out with room for a 120mm fan
<0> But no purple thing.
<0> That's what confuses me.
<0> My previous case, which I use in the computer I am typing on now, had a large purple thing.
<0> It's from A-something.
<0> Quality, "muffled" case.
<0> But I don't quite like it...
<1> yeah. Dragon Series Mini Midi Tower: DH-01W?
<1> it has a 120mm fan slot.
<0> Although it's better than 99% of the ones sold.
<1> sorry if this is confusing but the chieftec website is really crappy.
<1> the chieftec/antec cases should come with the purple plastics. there are no screw holes except for the 92mm fan above the psu.
<0> I'm opening it up now while running to peak...
<1> which you don't obviously have
<0> My mental picture of its insides is outdated.
<0> Yep. That's two large, nice fans.
<1> these chieftec clowns haven't updated all of their images.
<0> Despite that case being much smaller than this one...
<1> no 120mm in the pictures.
<1> their website looks like something that i could've whipped up together. which is bad. :D
<0> WHY did I throw away all my FDDs when I now need one?
<1> you tell me?
<0> Because I threw away all the **** that was just collecting dust.
<0> Stuff I'd kept for years for no good.
<0> I had some HDD smashing...
<1> data protection? ;)
<0> I just breathed dust.
<2> anyone have a creative zen m ?
<0> Being a computer geek can be worse than working in a stone factory in China.
<1> KimmoA, take the computer *outside* and use a nice fat can of pressurized non-flammable gas to blow the gunk out :P
<1> i salvaged a nice P4-2.8GHz from a metal workshop and *everything* in it was covered in metal dust and soot. it was uncanny to realize the thing worked with something rust colored covering the whole mobo and PSU :D
<0> The one time I actually NEED the manual, my ch***is didn't COME with one!
<0> Hehe... I hate dust.
<0> It should not exist.
<0> And this stupid god damn "system panel connector".
<1> you whine alot. deal with it >_>
<0> You're a towel.
<2> haha
<2> your a towl
<2> towel
<0> YOU're a towel.
<3> If I am using a DVI connection to a monitor, is it possible for a video card to p*** an analog signal directly to the monitor, or must it digitize the signal first?
<4> wow look at this! BFG GeForce 7950 GX2 1024MB PCI-E w/ Dual DVI, HDTV-Out
<5> dual GPU
<5> in sli
<5> http://tweakers.net/ext/i.dsp/1149457683.jpg
<3> Is the UYVY "native" AVI format uncompressed?
<1> sadly the 7950 drivers still **** ***, so a quad-sli is not worth the h***le
<4> yah i dont think quad-sli is supported yet.
<1> it can be hacked in with the current drivers but the performance gain is very small as a general rule
<1> a single 7950 is still mazing though
<1> amazing
<5> a single 7950?
<5> i thought 7950 is always dual GPU
<5> D3viant: quoad GPU is supported
<2> many probs
<2> i just ran that card
<2> 7950
<2> so far anyways.
<1> a single 7950 is ... a single 7950. it has two cards bonded to each other.
<1> you can't separate them without a screwdriver
<1> Mahavshnu, it would seem so
<1> it's just the component video raw format?
<6> you can
<6> if you want to
<6> really want to
<6> but no guarantee it will work afterwards
<3> yeah
<3> I'm puzzled, because I'm recording some cool VHS video
<3> but the digital preview is higher quality than the saved, uncompressed file
<1> if i remember right, AVI is just a container format and there's no telling what codecs are used inside it
<1> it could be compressed. i am seeing compressed component formats on google.
<3> I'm creating them, so yeah there is telling for me :)
<3> No I'm using UYUV native
<1> logic would say that it's uncompressed
<3> yes, as all YUV's are referred to as uncompressed
<3> on fourcc.org
<3> and the files are FRICKIN HUGE!
<3> as an example... 1.4 gig video file less than a minute long, compressed using highest bitrate into Mpeg-2 is 40 megs
<3> I'm pretty sure that's uncompressed
<1> well, yeah. that's kinda obvious... ~700 x ~500 x 24-bits x 30fps, that's alot of bytes per second
<3> so I can't figure out why my digital preview looks sharper than my uncompressed file
<1> a lot
<3> that's the problem
<1> weird. perhaps the program is applying some filters or... something? :D
<7> hey guys, weird problem here and I hope you can help. My 470W PSU is powering the following:
<7> 2 x 200gb hd, 1x 40gb, AMD64 3500+, 1.5gb of ram, and a powercolor x800 gto
<7> if I put power to my DVD-RAM drive, it powers it ok but then the 40gb doesn't get recognised by my pc.
<7> ***ume no power to the 40g hd. Could this be the case or do you think that PSU could take all that?
<0> You don't deserve that kind of hardware, you illiterate fool!
<1> eh. you have 12V on the 12V line or you don't. it's shared by different connectors. (the new PSUs might actually have a different 12V bus for the CPU power connector)
<1> i suspect a problem with ide. that is on the data side.
<7> sorry about my english, my first language has been russian for most of my life
<7> any idea what the problem could be with the ide? (I actually know very little about hardware, so i hoped someone in here would be able to explain it simply)
<7> or is this too vague to be able to tell
<2> anyne have a zen ?
<7> alright guys I gotta go out now. thanks for the help, it's good to know it's not a power thing. I'll try a different cable configuration when i get back
<7> see ya
