I have an older 1200 RPM corded dremel, from late 80's early 90's. Still works like a charm, had the motor replaced by Dremel once. Its just a great piece to have around the house.

More so that I can fleabay for the older parts, since people want the newer 5000 RPM ones.

I've got a fairly good idea where it is, actually: Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada. I lent it to my brother-in-law many months ago, but he has an unfortunate habit of forgetting to return borrowed items.

Nevertheless, you are right, TT. Dremels are sweet.

I could help you plan and mount a rescue operation?

Sorry Joe, I am of no help to you. Even though I am less than 20 minutes from the Canadian border, British Columbia is a good 2600 miles (4160 Km) away.

Speaking of modding, I'm trying to figure out what kind of standoffs to use on P:RiaGH. I don't want the motherboard to hang too far off and crack the side panel (where it's mounted), but I want to be able to fit some wires behind it.

**txtmstrjoe** · 05-12-09

Aren't standoffs a standardized height?

nategr8ns · 05-12-09

That's the problem

.
The back panel won't line up unless the right standoff size is used, so once I pick a size I'm stuck with it.

blitz6804 · 05-12-09

Joe: No, they are not. You can get standoffs in various heights, in two different diameters. As far as I recall, Lian Li scoffs at the "industry standard" diameter.

Well for folding rig 1 it would be 2 GPUs' and from what I gather I should be able to run 2 smp clients on a dual core. I could be wrong on the SMP thing though.
But in regards to the 20k PPD, that figure would be if I could get another 2 cards to fold on my other Ultra-D board. If I could get 2 single slot or 2 dual slot cards with out the top heatsink, like my GSOs', so that would be a total PPD. OR........ if I could get 2 GX2's then I'd be golden. The cards alone would pump out ~22K PPD, add at least 1 smp client then it would be 22.1K

As for ATi folding, I dont even bother. My 4870 gets about the same PPD as 1 of my GSOs', considering how much more energy it uses and heat it produces, no thanks. I'll reserve that card for strictly gaming, unless stanford decides to put out a good client for the ATi cards.

Good luck

Doh I hate it when hardware takes a :turd:. So far this HDD seems to be working out. Although, I haven't installed the F@H clients yet. I had to go to my anatomy class. I didn't realize that we'd actually be dissecting a cadaver. I don't think anyone else in my class did either. When they brought it up everyone was like

. After seeing that, I don't think I'll be donating my body to science.

And the time for that grows near... Certain confidants here are aware just how far along some of my projects are.

Joe which board are you planning on RAIDing? If it indeed is the CFX3200, I'd highly recommend just going with the Sil controller. You could try the ULi but don't be surprised when it starts locking up on you for no apparent reason.

Yeah, you are mistaken. You have the option to run 2 CPU clients, one per core, or one SMP client, which uses up to four threads. On a dual-core processor, it runs two instances per core. On a quad-core processor, it uses one instance per core. My laptop pulls in a maximum of 1900 PPD in SMP, but more typically, around 1000 PPD.

Thats not a bad increase. I'll have to look in to the SMP client thing. I believe you have to d/l some sort of library and all. I'm sure I'll find out all that soon enough.

On a side note I just ran HDtach on this new drive and I am peasantly surprised by it. I ran the short test and here are the results 91.4MB/s burst, 61.2 MB/s average. So all in all that is not bad. It actually did better than my WD2500KS Sata drive. That one averages in the mid to low 50's.
