Dual xeons should be fine for HD video decoding, especially with their large cache. What you need is a faster hard drive setup, like a RAID 5...
You're talking about evaporative cooling. Basically the heat from an object is transferred to a liquid and used to convert it to a gas. I would...
I put R2 in so the fade would be the same speed in and out. It fades out too slowly without it.

Also, be sure you don't fry the LEDs when you solder them. Leave some extra length in the leads, don't leave the iron on the joint for more than a...
OK, so replace Q2 with a photoisolator. Input goes to the LED leads of the photoisolator, and if the photoisolator has a photodiode, it goes...
I just came across this... What an awesomely pointless thing to do. :rock: It inspired me to freeze my flash drive, and it still works while...
Update coming soon, now that I can finally get back to working on this.
What apout sticking the cold side to a waterblock and the hot side to the top of the case and putting a big heatsink on the outside?
You said you want hyperthreading, so let's talk Intel systems. CPU: Pentium 4 6-series, or Pentium D (Pentium D is dual-core but has no HT)...
You can't put Intel processors on an AMD-compatible motherboard, and it's really just preference whether you want AMD or Intel (3.0 Ghz Intel...
Yeah, I wanted to do that, but I didn't manage to find one. If I did, that system would totally pwn at Doom.
That optoisolator thing won't work. Optoisolators don't produce current. They are actually an LED and a photodiode/phototransistor in a box. It...
I'm wondering... Has anyone used a peltier mounted on a waterblock (instead of a radiator) to cool a watercooled system?
If you're really bored, then freeze stuff. http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=96946 I think I'm gonna freeze my flash drive and see if...
Since it's a PS1 LCD screen, it should have an RCA connector for video input. If your video card has an RCA or S-Video out, it should be easy to...
I think it's better to just pimp out your 486 with parts you find in the garbage. My stock 486 specs: Intel 486DX 33 MHz 4 MB RAM 125 MB...
I think it's funny how Dell puts all those nice, expensive parts in the computer and then goes and uses DDR2-533 memory. That thing begs for some...
dropped a screw on my mobo and fried the onboard sound. good excuse to get a soundcard, though.
Since you do video/photo editing, a laptop is not a good idea. When laptops get hot, the processor slows down by up to 75%, making framerates...
