Nearly picked up a new server for OCAU in a bidding frenzy on eBay today.. I tell ya, those online auctions can be pretty addictive.
Wow, a link to the Microsoft KnowledgeBase that isn't a joke. :) Matex sent this one which is a general Win2K USB Troubleshooting guide, looks interesting.
Devil says: Check this out: SpeedFan. It's joy. On my ASUS P3V4X it can control the fan speed on 2 of the motherboard fan headers. I hooked all the fans up to the motherboard, 2 case fans on one header and cpu& video on the other. When its idling (web surfing ,word etc) my box is almost completely silent! Give it something to do, and the fans fire up. You can set the min and max fan speed as well as the desired temp. Finally an answer to the "how do I make my pc quiet?" question. Hmm, automatic fan control - I'm surprised MBM doesn't do this.
OCWB have their Computex Day 2 Coverage posted.. I was going to make a smartass remark about VooDoo missing his plane but it's just too easy. :)
Having trouble with CS? Eddie says: There are a few WON bugs going around:- 1) "WON authorization failed / out of date" = Fix here. (mainly for retail CS but people say works on CS mod version)
- 2)Game hangs while authing = Fix here.
- 3)"Invalid Authentication Information" = Fix - Reinstall COunter-Strike
Motorsport fans might enjoy this calendar which has the 2001 schedule for all kinds of championships..
Hagar is over in Bangkok at the moment and spent some time at Pantip Plaza. Definitely worth checking out if you're in BKK, I was there for 5 weeks in 1998 with work and went to Pantip a few times. Anyway, some pricing info from Hagar:
Leadtek Geforce 3 (TV out) for $747
Infineon PC133 Ram - 256 Mb for $87
Celeron 633, Iwill slotket, fan for $118
Sparkle GF2MX for $127
T'bird 1.33 Ghz for $320
ASUS A7M266 for $300 (touch dear maybe tho' not familiar with Aus price)
Epox 8KT7 (DDR Ram) for $285
256 mb Nanya DDR ram for $115 (not 100% on this)
Definitely saw Office XP on the pirate shelves (with a key code supplied), so Microsoft's denial that it's not crackable sounds a bit exagerated.
If you enjoyed that "Lots of Robots" animation I linked to on Saturday night, check out two more from the same guy: Rocket Pants and Gone Bad. Both maybe a little disturbing but just amazing image quality. Big downloads tho.
