Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, it is a no go on having my IP added to the proxy exclusion list (company policy and all that).

The proxy settings are entered correctly for all web browsers, and also under Internet Options.

It seems like this is a lost case

Hello everyone, I need to install an application on a PC that access the internet via a corporate proxy (with authentication). The problem is that the setup file is one of those that starts the installation, and then downloads the complete setup file from the net. It does not have an option to suppl...

I left the PC running for a few hours, and was able to gently wiggle the cooler off the CPU. Installed the new CPU and everything is running fine

I want to upgrade the CPU in my PC, which is watercooled with an Astek WaterChill cooler. The problem is that I can't get the cooler off the CPU :shock: I used Artic Silver 5 when I mounted the waterblock a year or so ago. Will leaving the PC running for a hour or so "heatup" the AS5 so th...

Check out this site: Good Old Games

Here you can buy DRM free games and download to your harddrive. It is 100% legal

A few examples of games requested here in this thread:

Divine Divinity
Stronghold Crusader

Currently I have an E5200 CPU installed. Seeing that the i3, i5 and i7 CPUs are here in force, I want to know how long the Core 2 Duo lga775 CPUs will still be available? I want to get a better CPU before the lga775 platform is laid to rest

I e-mailed Landmark Computers about stock availability on the Biostar board, and was informed that it is discontinued.

My next option is now the Asus P5KPL/1600 IG31

It would seem as if the cheapest compatible CPU will be the Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 2.5GHz 2MB 800Mhz FSB LGA775 Processor.

Now my only concern is whether the WC will fit...

I saw the following post here on the forum: http://forums.pcformat.co.za/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=34974

The Biostar board looks like a winner!

I want to upgrade from my trusty old P5-AD2E Premium to something more powerful. I know with the new Core i7 tech released, it probably does not make sense to go for a LGA775-based upgrade, but the new Core i7 tech is just to expensive. :roll: I am looking for a new MB and CPU for not more than R2,5...

Check it out: Project Monolith

After reading the review, it does not seem as if it will make that big a difference on the water temp in the res, seeing that the water is constantly being circulated through the loop by the pump. Maybe if it is left running for a couple of hours, there might be a noticeable drop in temp?

If you take an external WC reservoir, and fit it into a USB Fridge, could condensation occur inside the PC?

I gather that compression fittings (any make) are not available locally...?

What is this type of fitting called?

Im going to be importing and disturbuting WC'ing stuff soon, im going to bring in a bunch of Clearflex, and try get my hands on some tygon if possible :P Rob~ Good to hear your business is progressing so nicely! :wink: I need some Tygon R-3603 I.D. × O.D. 1/4 in. × 3/8 in. tubing, or similar.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, I'm nowhere near PTA, so my options are very limited.

Recently, I tried to get some Tygon tubing. Needless to say, it seemed impossible to get this tube locally. I was surprised to find a local supplier. They can supply it in rolls of 10 feet, but not to Joe Blow, only to companies with a valid VAT number. Still no problem, I thought. I have a friend w...

Thanks, this program seems to do the trick

I am looking for a program that can create CD covers, similar to Nero CoverDesigner, from my MP3s. The track listing should be generated from the ID3 tag in the MP3, and not from the file name. Or, is there a why to (bulk) rename MP3s so that their file names are in the correct sequence for Nero Cov...

If you did this with large sums in Zim, you'd probably be a multiquadrillion / quintillionaire / sextillion aire... And the next day, it would be worth 2c. :lol: That is why all Zim notes have an expiration date. They are only valid until a certain date. Nice tip on the Oz dollar BTW. Are they stro...

Recently, I bought an upgrade to ConvertXtoDVD . The default currency is euro. I decided to first see what the exchange rate on the other available currencies would be, before buying. I used XE for the conversion, and found that (at that time) to buy in euros, would work out to about R282. Of all th...

Why in the name of anything holy would you want to do that.

Good question I'll pop in to my friendly HyFlo and get the appropriate barbs

Thanks for the info. What do I now look for? Where would I find such an adapter?

TIA
