<0> that's a good thing.. i was afraid it was my 40 going
<0> i loosened up the screws on my top case fan...
<0> doesn't sound like a helicopter now..
<0> i think it being right on the metal, it was actually vibrating the metal..
<0> it's exhaust
<1> I got burgled yesterday they took $6000 worth of stuff from my home office
<1> I have a dilema however, I have a set of Klipsch Promedia 5.1 Speakers which they stole, and there is only 1 set remaining in NZ. Support might be a little patchy for them, and they are known to have a particular fault.
<0> eh
<1> Logitech have a Z5500 which is rated damn near as good, and support is prob gonna be better, but i dunno.. i lub my klipsch
<0> i think the logitechs are nice
<1> you own them?
<0> i've used them
<0> don't own them
<1> ever used the klipsch
<0> no
<1> the z5500's are said to have more power, and more b***
<0> you just sat there and let them carry $6000 out the door?
<1> yes, I invited them in.. what do you think? I wasn't home obviously
<0> you didn't have a hand grenade readied?
<0> :p
<2> only a fool would try and rob me
<0> lol..
<0> i was talking to a guy one day in chat... programming chat or something..
<2> (I got nothing worth taking)
<0> he was like 'three n------ just drove up, jumped out and jacked my car!!!'
<2> lol
<0> sitting there watching them out a window evidently..
<3> networkn is making me paranoid
<0> i was chatting with a guy one time on yahoo... long long time ago... he was like 'hold on i think someone's outside..' he comes back like 5 minutes later and says 'someone was trying to jack my satellite dish, i beat the fool with a ball bat' .. i was like 'did you kill him?' he was like.. 'no, the bitch ran like a cheetah'
<4> haha
<3> apparently networkn has insurance or he wouldnt be just hangin in #hardware
<5> http://www.wimp.com/multitouch/
<1> fricker: yup my insurnance company are amazing, they preapproved $6000 over the phone, and filled out all my paperwork etc
<1> 2 x 2min phone calls everythings on its way to being sorted
<0> i know a guy... he wears those Jenco jeans or whatever... like 5 sizes too big, then some... he carries a small baseball bat in his pants, that he's cut in half and welded back together... duct taped it up...
<0> he calls it his 'billy stick'
<0> goes around acting like he's got a bum leg or something... he's just like taunting someone to jump him
<6> hey guys -- on my Antec True powersupply -- There are a couple wires coming out that are just like the CPU Fan wires. Where do i plug them?
<0> channel monitor is going crazy again.. lol
<7> is sli (on motherboards) mainly for gamers?
<0> i'd say mainly
<0> mainly used in that fashion
<7> im buying a new mb and are wondering if its worth the extra money to get sli onboard. use the computer to make music, can't remember last time i played.
<7> but i am planning on getting to graphics cards, to use 2 monitors
<7> or a dual head
<0> what is it... the Ultra chipset that supports dual x16?
<7> the mb ? DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra
<7> yep
<0> sec
<0> http://www.nvidia.com/page/nforce4_family.html
<0> NVIDIA
<0> nForce4
<0> SLI X16
<0> that chipset
<0> someone else should probably verify this, but i think you can run two individual graphics cards at x16 with that chipset
<0> and two sli graphics cards at x16 each also
<7> you can run two individual gc at x16 on the ultra (not sli) too, right ?
<0> i was thinking no...
<7> or maybe not... im not totally in to this yet :)
<0> i think it's one x16 or two x8
<0> with the ultra
<7> ah, ok
<7> have to read into this. should know what im buying :)
<0> yeah..
<7> but is it a big difference running it at x16 or x8 ?
<0> nope, i'm wrong... ultra doesn't support sli
<0> it's the sli and sli xe that do x8
<0> and the sli x16 does x16
<7> ok
<0> it's all bandwidth
<7> ultra doesn't do sli, but it has 2x pci x16 so i automatically thought i could use both at x16
<0> yeah, that's probably x8
<0> not sure
<7> is there a big diff from agp to pci x16 ?
<7> only people who play halo2 etc that notice it
<0> probably depends on the usage
<7> i bought a geforce6600 a few months ago, shame to dump it allready :(
<0> i have a GeForce 4 MX 440 128 MB AGP 4x
<0> :p
<7> don't play much either i guess :)
<0> i did
<0> i don't play at all anymore
<7> me neither
<0> i'm waiting it out for a good DX10 card for Vista
<7> vista is coming out this fall isnt it ?
<0> yeah
<0> november probably
<7> looking forward to it, call me a ms whore :)
<7> tried to install vista beta, no luck
<0> yeah, hardware requirements upped quite a bit
<0> there's no video card or monitor out there right now that fully supports Vista's features
<0> not availible to us, at least :p
<7> :( hate to wait
<7> well, thanks for the chat! gotta sleep..
<1> if I have a SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum do I need an encoder in my speaker set (still trying to decide klipsch or logitechs
<8> go klipsch
<1> have you tried both?
<1> klipsch only have analog inputs
<8> I've played with a LOT of speaker systems. If you want as close to hi-fi quality equipment, go klipsch.
<8> "The control module features a standard analog stereo audio input and two digital audio inputs--one coaxial and one Toslink optical. It also includes separate main, center, surround, and subwoofer volume controls; mute and on/off power buttons; and input, surround mode and Dolby Digital dynamic compression LED indicators. The controller can also connect to the subwoofer via the included DIN connection cable.
<8> that's the dx version
<9> pci 2.0 != pci-e right?
<8> nope. they're not the same.
<1> yah I don't want the gmx's I want the originals
<1> the only thing with the klipsch i don't like is that I struggle sometimes to get decent volume
<8> networkn - i think the overall quality of the promedia 5.1s makes up for a lack of a digial port, if you ask me.
<1> if a movie is crappy quality, its neigh impossible to hear
<8> seriously? I have the 2.1's connected to an unamplified maudio audiophile 2496 and they can make my ears bleed
<8> and that's with output set to a professional level of -10dbV, not the consumer boosted signal
<8> the sub makes my bunghole vibrate, even.
<1> what the hell did you just say?
<8> translation = mine can get extremely loud.
<8> overwhelmingly loud. i barely put them at 1/2 and they're still wicked loud
<1> nerp: I have a SB Audigy 2
<1> if the original media is recorded loudly, i don't have too much trouble with volume.. typically its movies
<1> music is ok
<0> you know how a movie will get silent... so much you can't hear what's said... then it will be loud when there's action or something..
<0> anyway to balance that automatically?
<3> dan123: its only for fan speed monitoring. plug it into your motherboard if you have a utility to monitor the speed, and you care. Otherwise forgeta bout it
<1> the other factor is that only a single set remain in the country, and after that no more , and its quite likely I'll be rerobbed
<10> any of you guys have an antec P180?
<10> with watercooling
<11> nope I have a Antec sx1040b with air cooling :P
<12> Wtf could cause a 1yr old Media Center PC (2005), gateway 825 GM, from suddenly not being able to boot up all the way. Lately I have to F8, boot in safe mode w/ command prompt every time, then do a chkdsk /f , then reboot, let it do it's thing, then reboot again and it loads up fine....?
<0> it's a gateway
<0> :p
<12> its a quality pc actually
<0> i'm sure..
<0> have you done a sfc /scannow
<0> it does what when normally booting?
<12> loads up, windows logo, then black screen before the final login screen
<12> crt monitor, so after a few flicks of resolution swaps
<12> it stays black
<12> before getting to final login screen
<12> hence only way to fix it is f8 safe mode command prompt, then chkdsk /f
<0> yeah, go ahead and run a sfc /scannow
<12> wgat is that
<0> run it just like you do the chkdsk
<0> it detects if there's any corrupt system files
<13> ive seen that problem ryzn
<12> windows file protection window
<12> coming up
<12> progress bar now
<0> what was the solution at that time, Shockwav?
<13> i just had that problem i never found the solution probley was gfx card releated tho it was with pci mx420 gforce or psu related
<13> just somthing failed to load it seemed like also had bad hd
<12> <Shawn--> startkeylogger
<12> * Shawn-- (~blah@3-125.124-70.tampabay.res.rr.com) has left #computers
<12> whose noticed that lately
<12> from random irc names in random chans
<0> i've seen it graphics related also..
