SSD: How much space for cache? by Craig Coope
Hi, I'm about to set up an HDD and an SSD with Intel Smart Response Technology. My SSD is 60Gig and I only bought it for the ISRT purpose. My question is: Do I need to allocate the whole SSD for the cache? Or would it be a waste of 60gig? Should I allocated 20gig and use the remaining for other...

My first homebuilt PC by Darquan
Hi, I am new here and havn't bought a PC for 6 years and the last one wasn't self-made. I hope someone can give me some advice. I will use the PC mostly for gaming of all sorts and watching films on a 50" plasma TV. I plan to overclock the processor. I came up with this design but not sure if...

Starteling discovery: Antec 1200 filters block probably 70% to 90% of airflow. by Skybuck Flying[_2_]
Also the manual of the antec 1200 case confirms that if the dust filters are full this can lead to high system temperatures and system instability. So this is known behaviour. My recommendation for now would be too simply remove the dust filters all together and be on the safe side. However I...

Grounding and lightning. by Skybuck Flying[_2_]
Another interesting story, death included :): " Neither talking on a land line phone nor taking a shower increases the chances of lightning directly hitting your house BUT, as yuandrew said, both of these activities do increase your chance of injury or death should a direct hit happen. In fact,...

USB Hub as an iPod/iPhone Charger [solved] by Man-wai Chang
I found another USB hub that allowed me to short the D+ & D- pin AT THE OUTPUT END. It works as long as I don't plug the USB hub into a PC, but the ACadaptor of the USB hub. If I did, the iPod would give me a yellow triangle, and refuse to charge itself from the PC. I don't even need to use...

Bad wiring? by Thip[_2_]
Thanks for the comprehensive reply; I'll print it out at work tomorrow & follow through. I just think it's odd I've blown 2 PSU's on a fairly new machine, and now the one in the HP on the same day. That's what makes me question the wiring in this room.
