    Stocky's Space!

    This is my current setup - it's not usually this clean so thought I'd take a pic! I'm quite pleased with it at the moment :) I have a 5.1 surround sound connected through the optical out on the motherboard so that the signal is kept digital all the way through to the amplifier. The speakers...

    iPOD Nano Gen2 Repair

    A friend had an iPOD which had stopped working due to her friends abusing it (I think it had something to do with wet grass but I couldn't follow it!) Anyway, I first tried to dry/ bake it but that didn't fix it so I thought I'd see if I could dismantle it :D Basically there are quite a few...

    Mobo on the Wall (not really a case!)

    Once upon a time I had a fireplace in my bedroom, but it was covered with a bit of wood and plaster. The plaster was old and bulging, and one evening I just got the urge to smash it in, so I got a big hammer and attacked it. I was left with a real nasty mess, but have lost the photo of it. I...

    Vista Graphics not Working?

    Hey all :) I've recently made the move to Vista and am having graphics problems. The text or image is not 100% crisp, you know not fitting in perfectly with the pixels on the screen. The normal eye probably wouldn't notice as it's not that bad, but I do. Also, the graphics in CAD is poor...

    BFG Multimedia Project

    Some of you may remember I was considering using XFX or BFG for one of my projects to design a stand in 3D CAD and then create a fully rendered visualisation and video fly through of it. Thanks to Phil for the measurements of the 8800 HSF, which allowed me to accurately model it :) The movie...

    Ageia/ 8800GTX Videos?

    I'm after some high quality videos of the latest graphics technology for my virtual BFG exhibition stand. I have found the ones on the Ageia site, and also the 8800 one on the nVIDIA site. The problem is these Ageia vids are quite old, I was wondering if there is some newer stuff (such as...

    Ageia PhysX & XFX?

    Does anyone know if XFX will be selling an Ageia PhysX card or similar type product in the near future? I'm looking into a basing a 3D multimedia stand on XFX and it'll be good to boast this physics technology, or I may have to base it on BFG! Any info on this topic area would be appreciated :)

    Stripped XP Installation

    I've used nlite in the past to modify an XP installation. I'm looking to do an install for maximum performance (benching ;) ), but at the same time be functional as a main system. Does anyone have any advice or useful links for this? What settings should be changed/ removed for the best...

    Borat!: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

    I went to see it last night and it was a sell out for every showing. I'd recommend it, as I found it very funny :D Anyone else seen it yet, or planning on seeing it?

    put 8meg on a raptor

    That's quite significant as well! I didn't realise that they made a 16MB cache 74GB - I thought it came out with the 150MB versions... I wonder why they don't wack the cache up to something larger, not just 32MB how about say 512MB or even a GB? :D

    Chipset Cooling

    My P5B chipset is getting rather toasty, so much so that it is holding me back. Does anyone know of a good/ the best air cooler (passive? heatpipe?) product? Maybe it'd better to just watercool it? If so, what chipset cooler is the one to have? (I'm running big bore ;) )

    How do you find the new BIOS? I have downloaded, but am yet to update to 0804. Are there any BOOT issues or are they now finally gone? Also what volts are you running with on VCore and VDimm?

    1GHz Overclock and Happy!

    She's running at 3.4GHz on water and seems pretty stable. I think this is about the area where my RAM gets a little sketchy, but I'll re-run memtest86 on it now I have a new BIOS. I accidentally bought some new RAM which will allow me to find the CPU limit with a dropped multi to get some...
