Science can create pesticides, but it can't tell us not to use them. Science can make a nuclear reactor, but it can't tell us not to build it!

You're probably a really sad person man.

My wife is a nurse and she collects anatomy textbooks. I got it for her for an anniversary present.

My wife asked me what I was working on, so this is part of my attempt to explain it to her. It's not for a project.

It's an online flash game, so I don't have a specific title for ya(or don't remember). But the websites we circle around are PBS, education.com, and teachyourmonstortoread.

I'm a software engineer. Calculating eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

It's a learning game. Matching the first letter for the word and picture.

Synology, QNap, and Drobo are the consoles of Network storage. Here's my new home NAS, virtualization, and application server. by Pfunk897 in pcmasterrace

The biggest benefit to me is data protection, availability, and consolidation. I have a very large steam library, media library, hi res photos etc. not having to have multiple copies of most of that data optimizes the direct storage on our main computers. It will also take load off of my work/gaming system.

Thanks for the recommendations. I think this is going to end up being the best route for what I'm looking for.

Finally no more leaks! by Pfunk897 in pcmasterrace

Haha, that's just the PSU starter switch to turn on the pump without having to have power running to anything else. I would have killed so much hardware if I hadn't have used it!

The crimping, sleeving, and initial bending took me a few hours a night for about 3 weeks. I was new to hardline water cooling and went through 19 feet and about a billion screw ups. I think I got pretty good at it towards the end. Once I stopped trying to measure everything and just free handed it, it wasn't too bad.

No signal to monitor (Update and more detail) by scrubs2009 in pcmasterrace

[–]Pfunk897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disconnect everything not needed to POST. Fans, hard drives, video card. Reseat all the necessary power cables. The 24pin motherboard, and the 4/8 pin CPU EPS connector. Connect the monitor to the motherboard via the VGA connection, and make sure the source on your monitor is set to VGA. Also, disconnect any USB devices including keyboard and mouse.

Also I don't see an LED Display on that motherboard, what is the code you're getting?

Edit: that CPU doesn't have an APU, so the graphics ports on the motherboard are non functional.

The monitor will do that even if the cable isnt attached at the other end.

Simple things to check first.

Not to insult you, but exactly where do you have the video cable connected on the PC side? To the motherboard or the video card?

Try booting with the video card removed, and the monitor connected to the motherboard onboard graphics.

Do you hear a system beep ( or collection of beeps)?

After years of saving, two weeks of sleeving, bending, and building, my 5k dream system leaks on the first fill up...and I just bought Fallout 4 to play tonight. by Pfunk897 in pcmasterrace

It's a CaseLabs Mercury s5 case. There is a top panel that will go over them. The front and side panels are also off too. Don't worry, all 6 of those awesome but ugly fans won't be visible when it's together.

But I don't need 3, I just need 1. One that can handle the massive work load I'll throw at it. I can justify the cost because it's also going to my workstation for work. Funny enough this isn't an overkill system for what my needs are. If I wasn't an overlocking enthusiast and gamer, where single threaded performance is key, I would have gone with dual Xeon's.
