I feel the same way, my PSU is strugling with my phenom and 8800gt (it's only 500W) So every bit helps me as well :) Mine will be powering 3hdds 5 fans and a bunch of leds wich will total up to around 40~50W average, so that extra 40W will keep my main PSU cooler or give a little more headroom for o...

I also have dual power supplies, check my project thread. Mine only uses one female connector to power both so they won't even know I have two PSUs

how is your PSUs setup? do they both power everything or does the one power this and the other that?

I'm running two different types of ram and no problem.

What's the exact speed that cpu-Z is reporting?

Pictures? I'll give you pictures! 10 to be precise, various badly taken low graph pics: http://www.bummer.co.za/case/but.JPG Yes, monkey but. http://www.bummer.co.za/case/work1.JPG Micasa AKA The "extra garage" http://www.bummer.co.za/case/work2.JPG Where we do most of the cutting http://w...

Madness? This is sparta!!

Sorry, I just had to

Does anyone know what amds production capacity is and how much of that capacity it is using?

if it is something like 99% they can just make the price higher and not really worry whether theirs is better than intels, just as long as all the cpus they make can be sold...

I'll also be going, woot woot!

go to opencircuits.com and search for a circuit that boosts radio signals or something

not jacob, some puppet until they can either change the law so that jacob can become pres or wait till march next year.

It would be intresting to see how the JSE responds to this...

Can you download rivatuner and use it's hardware monitoring to see your gpus temp?

it may be the heatsink of the gpu that's not properly seated.

Doesn't know me

It can be a program with a memory leak which is slowly filling up your ram and leaving nothing for the game. That or overheating. Touch your graphics card and feel how warm it is, if it is hot most probably a overheating problem. Use rivatuner to see your cards temp. The game won't freeze completely...

in that case, stuff legal!

We are starting a small lan house (internet cafe with games) and just wanted to know if there isn't a license or something just for lan houses so that we don't have to buy a single game for every PC?

And what's your views on lan houses?

So, we started building our cases. It didn't go bad so far, especially with the time we have available. I'll upload some pics soon. I changed my design on the last minute, my case is now a U shape. The base plate and the two sides is a single piece wich is just bended. Doesn't look to bad, just warp...

If you have to PCs connected directly with crossover, do they ping each other?
Does it work with other pcs (hub)?

I would say maybe you can change the color of your lighting to change the look a bit as we cant both go blue with frosted. Will look far to much the same i think! I'll definitely change the colour. and you know that light strobe thingys we bought I can just desolder the leds and put in my green led...

hey middelburg aint much better, I was there 2 weeks ago and the number if guys with nails in their exhausts(free flows) are just scary!

And if hoender reads this, I'm sorry I didn't mean that

Got the plexiglass today at maizeys plastics in witbank today, they asked around R600 (can't remember the exact price since I bought other stuff as well) per 3mm thick unclear(frosted/sandblasted look) sheet. They didn't have clear plexiglas so I had to buy that frosted look sheets aswell, so my cas...

Yip, that's how it works

XGB int = x*10GB local

but you have to use your international first to get access to the local cap.

I buy 2 accounts use the one up quick on rare international stuff and then use routesentry to split the two so that I can use both at the same time...

They(ATI) can't do object division parallelization techniques which is probably the best and most linear method for parallelization. All which the hydra engine (the chip itself) does is physically split the data, catch card-driver specific info (to fool the drivers probably), do some information gat...

I bet you they wanted to get "top-secret" info like that they created life or something like that

us kids, crazy like that

Since no one really talked about it here I'll start: The Hydra engine actually looks very promising in with the fact that they have(implementing) a new image parallelization technology which unlike sli and crossfire won't send the same data to the cards and then just tell them to render different pa...

I went mazeys today actually, closed

2 hours drive for sheet (plexiglas sheet , I crack myself up sometimes )

So is that expensive or around the normal price? I'll have to go drive and get it so if it is just R100 more expensive it doesn't matter. (petrol price)

Does anybody know the average price for plexiglass?

At mica they charge R1600 for clear plexiglass for a normal 1.5 m* 1m sheet. Is that how much it costs?
