Very cool! Can't wait to hear more about your experiences with the MSI 6600GT. Any success running it at 1080i?

Alrighty, finally got the last of my parts, namely my adapter for my notebook drive (more on that in another thread
![]() The front, you've probably seen this before The back, here's a good shot of the mod to my case. As you can see, two 80mm fans fit just fine back there, I just wish Ahanix had done that in the firest place ![]() From the side, there's the T-Balancer in front, with my M-Audio Revolution behind it. And you can see a bit of my 6800 too. Here's an overhead, I think mightyt was asking if it took up the PCI slot next to the AGP. And one last one, here's my temp sensor instalation on my Zalman CPU cooler. Last edited by stanger89; 01-19-2005 at 09:43 PM. |

Oh, and I had to post one more. Take a good look at this picture....
Did you do it? Did you notice anything? Like the CPU fan NOT moving? Guess what.... The PC was actually ON, when I took that ![]() |

mdmint, where did you pick up the 3Ware RAID controller? How much does it set you back? The drives are something like $180 to $200 a piece...so it's quite an expensive setup. I'm jealous.

![]() ![]() ![]() I really like the idea of this T-Balancer (I think I'm going to be getting one within the next few weeks). I have to say, it does make a mess inside the case with all the wires everywhere! Never mind - as long as it does the job. ![]() Last edited by ukmgranger; 01-20-2005 at 10:34 AM. |

![]() I've worked in the computer field, primarily hardware service and support, for 2 decades. Primarily Back Office (servers, sans etc) the last decade so. Having a serious Server with good redundancy and hotswap capabilities at home has been something I'd wanted for some time. Sage just gave me the excuse. ![]() ![]() Definitely not cheap setup, hurts the pocket book once, joy of use for long time! ![]()

As far as I know all SATA drives are atleast 8MB buffer and atleast 7200rpm. More importantly from a performance standpoint is having good size RAID controller cache and having write back cache enabled on the controller. 256MB controller cache much much more effective than just HDs onboard buffer. Makes a huge difference in the demanding multiple record and playback Sage might be asked to do. Ran my old Adaptec 2400A PATA controller with it's stock 32MB cache on Debi's PC RAID1 briefly. Performed noticably better than now with "plain jane" RAID1 controller without controller cache. (To me, Debi can't tell the difference for what she uses her PC for. ![]() (My Server doesn't even have a FDD installed! An PATA HD is in it's bay for Ghosting OS partition, forgot to mention that info when I made the html...)
