Right. I've spent half an hour untangling cables just to find the power supply to my graphics tablet, and it's an utter mess down there. (I also found a mouse - not a live one, but it was probably close - and a telephone and about 4 metres of ethernet cable I didn't know I had.

It's still a mess, but the graphics tablet is working...

Question is *how* does it get like that? It's not like I actively spend a portion of each day tangling things up for a laugh, or so that on a rainy Sunday I have something to do. I've already ruled out The Tangling Cable Goblin as my cat got him years ago.

(Noone mention cable ties please, I had an unfortunate incident with them, a stanley knife and electrocution once.

Oh, and happy Monday. :)

Yesterday I seen some wonderful machines here in Tokyo, shoot 'em ups on three screens, liquid cooling for cpu (and graphic cards), and memory with digital read out of frequency and temperture on the simm.

Now, the liquid cooling part...though I've seen it inside the case in the UK - safe as it can get, I guess.....here they have external cooling devices, running liquid cooling pipes into the casing. Now any home with children is bound to have this interesting warm fan device knocked off of the top of the machine, and cpu/motherboard/case is going to follow. And if the dam thing leaks, the computer is F*cked. So why bother? Has anyone had any nasty experiences with liquid cooling yet? I saw the Xbox 360 Laptop online, and he had 'pads' to absord any leakage - which I don't think is good enough.

So is anyone aware that in telecomms we use Peltier coolers to cool down that $10,000 laser. So why not use them for the pc? Or just go with a huge heatsink?
Noisy liquid cooling system.

Hi,
I read about this subject and I can make conclusion that this is almost the same thing. Spaned volumes are created up to 32 disk and I presume with empty one but in OS it looks like single disk.
Striped volumes (RAID-0) are created from multiple disk. Unlike a spanned volume, however, data is written to all physical disks in the volume at the same rate.
Does this mean that with sppaned volumes data is written to first disk, when this one is full than will data be written to second one and so on. Is this the main difference ?

Let's say I have two computers called A and B. I also have two 512MB VGA cards and a 1GB VGA card. All the three cards are from the same manufacturer and of the same model.

Now I connect the two 512MB cards in SLI mode to computer A. The 1GB card is connected to the computer B. Assume that all the other components (RAM, Processor etc) of the computers A and B are same.

1. Which machine will be the best gaming machine?
2. Which machine will be more expensive?

Explain your answers.

My current motherboard only supports 1.5 GB/s, and I want to get a new hard drive. Would I be able to get a 3.0 GB/s SATA drive and use it with my motherboard? That way when I upgrade my motherboard, I can get one that supports 3.0 and use the drive to its full potential. Otherwise I will have to get a 1.5 GB/s drive and when i upgrade my motherboard, it will be a waste
