What's wrong with my rig?

In the interests of thoroughness, I thought I'd post an update. It was my motherboard. I ordered a new one, swapped everything over and it's smooth sailing. It figures - this is the biggest PITA component to replace! The new version of this mobo has 5.1 sound, so I will probably leave my...

What's wrong with my rig?

Yeah, see original post: Memtest86 fails, but since I have 4 slots and 4 sticks, and any combination of memory fails, I'm thinking the problem may be between the memory and the motherboard (I have no idea of the engineering, but there are a number of capacitor looking thingies near the RAM...

What's wrong with my rig?

Thanks P-Guy. I thought of the power supply, but it's a high-end enermax 550w that has never given me trouble. I unplugged one of my optical drives, but come to think of it a non-spinning optical can't draw much power! When I look at the BIOS hardware monitor, I don't see a lot of voltage...

Any recommendations for 2 RAID 0 SATA enclosure?

I have a broken rig. While I'm trying to fix that, I am most interested in the RAID 0 array I have with 2 SATA drives, that are currently unavailable due to the broken PC. Is there a reasonable cost enclosure that I could get that would allow me to connect these, maintaining the RAID 0 and...

What's wrong with my rig?

Is the processor really a possibility? I'd be able to boot into the BIOS and also into Memtest with a hinky processor? I am not hearing anything out of the usual with respect to post beeps. I can try to stick speakers on and enable voice commands, but I have audio disabled because I have an...

What's wrong with my rig?

I had a series of brownouts that seemed to have killed my PC (was connected to a surge protector but not a battery backup). Specs: - Asus PC4800E Mobo - Intel 3.2 - 2 GB Crucial DDR RAM - Enermax 522W power supply - last I was able to check, the CPU was running at 123 deg F - I have 2...

Machine room rack design, cabling?

I am moving a datacenter out to one of these "hardened" sites, and have the opportunity to do everything from the ground up. I want to do things as close to perfectly as possible. I have 6 42u cages that sit over 30" raised floor. Eventually I'll grow to 10 cages. Each cage has dual-sourced...

Build Your Own Vs. Buying

Building is more fun, you learn more, and you get just what you want and it's much more upgradeable. But for me, it's much more expensive. Granted, I've gone high-end in my 3 builds, even spending $150 on the case. There are 2 saving graces for me: (1) through work and MSDN universal...

ASUS P4C800-E and Intel P4 3.2: Which HSF?

I'll give the Zalman a try. The only thing that looks odd is that the Intel unit only has 2 screws. With my PAL I had to carefully go around, every other screw, to get the right, balanced pressure. Thanks for the advice guys!

ASUS P4C800-E and Intel P4 3.2: Which HSF?

What makes a good heat sink choice with this combo? I am unlikely to overclock and I am interested in two things: (1) as quiet as possible and (2) easy screw on HS - I do not like the clippy thing in particular.

Is it possible to hook up two printers to one computer?

Yes, of course. The only problem you'd have is if they're both parallel port interfaces, but even then you could add a card and have additional ports. But with USB (or even infrared) you could add 8 printers to your PC.
