Carrying A Large Case To A Lan Party, Suggestions
Replies: 19 | Post Date: 10-15-2005, 10:03 PM | User: Cc2096 | Forums: hardforum.comAs the title says i have a rather large (check that, friggin huge) case that i need to transport to a lan this coming weekend. It's a thermaltake armor (the one in my sig). Does anyone know of a carry strap or case system that will fit this behemoth? I looked at the xbags ctssl and it looks like it would work, but it's sold out everywhere. I also looked at the sunbeam strap system, but i am not sure about the dimesions on that one. Any help would be appreicated.

System Case Suggestions
I need a new mid tower (or full tower works) case for my future system. It will be primarily air cooled (noise isn't a concern really) & needs to be decent to work with (nothing i could build in the shed with a drill & sheet metal). However, there's a catch: i need one lightweight, yet sturdy (i don't want a hole punched in it if it tipped over, lol). Now, i know with components inside it's gonna weigh more than this, but i'm aiming as low as possible towards 25 pounds. You see, i have a serious weight restriction & my doctor recommends no more than 25lbs. I don't know what the typical case would weigh with all the parts in, i've only built a couple myself (i know they can get very heavy) because i used to unload freight from transfer trucks & work with lumber. =/ I'm guessing my current case weighs in around 35-50lbs (about like my crt monitor). It's a steel case & was a cheap raidmax (3 yr old). Hope i gave enough info. One thing i never see listed about cases is their weight. I imagine aluminum cases weigh less though they cost more? Etc etc any info on the types of cases, etc. Would be great (i'm not interested in a mini shuttle or such yet).

Third Party Devices Cannot Connect To Internet Using Wireless Network
Wireless network won't let third party devices connect to internet? Recently, my computer has denied access to my ipod, 360, and pc to the internet. Although i still can connect to the network i cannot recieve internet from the network. It says that i am connected to the network on all three but if i attempt to go on the internet it doesn't allow me to do so. I was hoping someone could tell me how i could fix this problem. I have a linksys cable modem with usb and ethernet connections with a linksys wireless - g broadband router (4 port switch).

Large Size Mouse
I just bought the performance mx and its not as comfortable as i would have liked. The mx 1100 seems to be bigger and would probably be better for my hand. But i dont like the dpi switch near the left click button. To people who own or have used the 1100 extensively: do you accidentally click on the dpi often? And i dont think i would like the revolution because of the thumb scroll thingy getting in my way. Or is there another large size mouse from microsoft or whoever else.

Why Are Hard Drives Large ?
Why are hard drives so unnecessarily large? I'm the admin for an office of 15 computers and one server. Each station needs *at most* 1 gig of hard drive space, as all important/large docs are stored on the server (as called for by security protocols). One of the hard drives fried this morning, and the cheapest i can find is 50$, 150 gb. *** Soon we won't even need hard drives, it'll all be cloud computing. Is there any place to buy cheap (i mean like cheap, like $10) 1gb hard drives? Same logic applies to 64 bit processors, we don't need em to run openoffice! I just had to watch a client of mine buy this $300 media comp (as it was the cheapest at bestbuy), 4 gb ram, 64bit processor, windows 7 (so far a pain to get networked) just to use quickbooks. Lol any other it guys feeling my frustration?

Trying To Share Printer On A Large Network
My friend and i are roommates here at ucf. He has a printer and i dont. We agreed on sharing it but the problem is we do not want anyone else to access it. I came up with the bright idea of making a new workgroup then sharing it. He made one and then shared the printer. I then joined the workgroup with no problem. Now, when i click view workgroup computers it says that it cannot be accessed. When he does it, it works fine. I then tried to connect to his ip address but again nothing. I just finished trying sharing a folder and made him copy a shortcut to printer but when i double click it, it says the printer is unreachable and probably offline.

What Would You Do With A Pair Of Large Sas Drives ?
I have a pair of 300gb cheetahs i was going to use for a vm server but have changed directions and no longer need them. I mean if worse comes to worse i could just sacrifice them on ebay but i would prefer to use them from something useful. But i'm out of ideas. - I don't see any use for them in a whs environment
- I have raided ssds in my main rig
- They have been up for sale for a few weeks with interest or bites
- Maybe build an exchange server? No real need for it though.

Ambidextrous Mouse For Large Hands
Does anyone know of any ambidextrous wireless mice that fit comfortably with large hands? I can't really find one that fits both, either it's a good fit for large hands, but only for righties, vice versa. Normally i'd go lefty (since i'm ambidextrous) but my girlfriend is righty so i'm leaning towards one that can handle both lefties and righties decently.

Large Wireless Network Project
I am trying to implement a large wireless network in one of my clients condo buildings. The building is 4 stories high and is about half a city block wide. I have tried just using consumer wireless routers like linksys and boosters and what not but it seems like there should be a better solution. There are still cold spots all through the build and the placement of the hardware is getting tricky. If anybody has any experience with this kinda thing can you let me know a better way to set this kinda thing up.

Subnet mask to 255. 255. 255. 0
Default gateway to 192. 168. 1. 1
Preferred dns to 192. 168. 1. 1
And all the same on the other computer, except i set the ip to 192. 169. 1. 20, ive read that thats all i need to do besides plug the cables in on xp. Well its not working and it keeps saying "a network cable is unplugged" i dont know why its saying that, it is plugged in. Anyone know whats wrong?

Can't Do Anything Else When Transfer A Large File Using Usb
So i've been running x64 for the better part of a year now on the rig in my specs. Within the last 3 months or so if i transfer a large file to any one of my various brand external hard drives i can't really do anything else on my computer, everything kinda just slows down and the usb transfer takes precedence. The strange part is my cpu usage is only like 5-15% on a single core while this is going on. I know i should most likely nuke my os install and start over but i'm curious as to what caused this. In my many years of pc tech support i have not ran into this particular issue. I have seen similar caused from crappy via usb controllers but not this exact problem. Ideas?

Computer Freezes And Unfreezes During Large Installs
I have windows 7, and never had this problem with windows xp. Basically everything else seems to run normal, games and software already installed run fine. The problem is only when i'm installing software or like when a large download is finished and it copies to my hard drive. I just installed fallout3, and it would freeze at points during install and then unfreeze. The freezing would take maybe a few minutes before it will unfreeze and copy at normal speed. Every time it freezes it will always unfreeze and continue. Seems like there is no data corruption or anything, the programs always run fine after install. I'm trying to troubleshoot this problem. What do you think i should look at?

Computer Freeze When Saving Large Size Files
I have problems with my computer, when i save a large item it freezes. (Large size files / items noramly take 3+ hours to save. Have been doing alot of video editing recently and when it comes it save the overall work (render it), the whole computer freezes, managed to copy the file though the home network and do it on my bro's pc, but i can't save to dvd as it's doing the same. Thought it could be power supply, or processor over heating but if i shut down and restart it, it still has the same problems but it will freeze in a different point, getting to be a very annoying problem.

Setting Up A Two Computer Lan To Play Multiplayer Games
I want to connect two computers to each other so i can play multilayer games with friends, without worrying about pk'ers, crackers, and idiots. I went to best buy and got a cat6 cable, thinking all i needed to do is plug the two computers together and start playing. I was wrong. I went back to best buy and then they told me that i needed a "crossover cable" because the kind of cord i got needed a hub and another cable. So i traded my cable for a crossover one. I then came home with the notion that all i needed was to plug the two computers together and to know each other's ips to play. Again, i was wrong. After struggling for hours on end in the network connections and calling around for people who might know, we (me and my friend) wasted the whole weekend when we could've been death matching in a halo, half-life 2, and postal 2 binge of all binges. I come to you for a very simple, very short step-by-step instruction in the connecting two computers with one crossover cable. I'm talking so short that i could print the entire thing on one piece of paper. Thrice.

I want to connect two computers to each other so i can play multilayer games with friends, without worrying about pk'ers, crackers, and idiots. I went to best buy and got a cat6 cable, thinking all i needed to do is plug the two computers together and start playing. I was wrong. I went back to best buy and then they told me that i needed a "crossover cable" because the kind of cord i got needed a hub and another cable. So i traded my cable for a crossover one. I then came home with the notion that all i needed was to plug the two computers together and to know each other's ips to play. Again, i was wrong. After struggling for hours on end in the network connections and calling around for people who might know, we (me and my friend) wasted the whole weekend when we could've been death matching in a halo, half-life 2, and postal 2 binge of all binges. I come to you for a very simple, very short step-by-step instruction in the connecting two computers with one crossover cable. I'm talking so short that i could print the entire thing on one piece of paper. Thrice.

Lan Wireless Router To Control Connections For Each User
I'm looking for a wireless router that won't choke with like 6+ pc's simultaneously using internet+torrents+file sharing, etc. On a 7mbit connection. My current router has a very strange problem. Just one person downloading torrents at 40kbps/15kbps upload will ruin everyone elses connection. Everyone else will just time-out. This connection goes upto 800kbp's+(7mbits) when doing bandwidth tests. I use to have a router that did everything i'm talking about, i think it was a belkin. Except. It had port-routing issues. It's only problem!
Are there any routers where you can like control the half-open connections and connections for each user or something. :/ Not just the bandwidth.

Large Hard Drive Transfers Bring The System To A Crawl
I've got all the proper/latest drivers for the system installed. Using pata drives, dma on, high performance mode on. What could it be, an awful pata controller on the cheap motherboard? The single core a64 3800+ didn't behave like this when large file copy operations were underway.

Lan Driver For Dell Vostro 200 For Xp Pro X64
I cannot find a lan driver for my dell vostro 200 for xp pro x64. The drivers at dell's website don't work, i went to intel's site and got drivers for the chipset and audio but when i try to download the lan driver it says that my file was moved, renamed or put in the archives. I can't find where thier archives are. I've googled and found something else; it installs but doesn't do anything. Someone help me find lan drivers for my dell vostro 200 for xp pro x64. The motherboard is a foxconn g33m02, a g33 chipset.
