The HDD temperature of 45 degrees isn't harmful, but may become so in the long run. If it's a concern, then just install one locally-made copper HDD coolers with two 40mm fans below each of your HDDs. They look like this: Newegg.com - LOGISYS HC102 Aluminum alloy HDD Cooler If your data is...

I have run Celeron CPUs without any heatsink sometimes, in winters. If your heatsink isn't affixed tightly, it will not be able to work at its full potential. Considering the difference in temperature, your best bet would be to secure the heatsink (after applying thermal paste) using cable ties...

I am also facing this problem of reduction in the download speed. The upload speed is still the same as before. I noticed this problem right today, as I didn't use my MTNL broadband service for the past two days. MTNL is the equivalent of BSNL for Delhi and Mumbai.

If the frames skip after so long, then it could be a problem with the reading throughput of your hard-disk. You should defragment your hard-disk and check. If that doesn't solve the problem, go for a new graphics card, preferably a GeForce 9500 or a Radeon 3450 or better. These cards are built...

I saw this one with a Core i7, 4GB RAM, two 500 GB HDDs, two Nvidia GeForce GTX280Ms in SLI configuration, 19-inch WXGA screen and other bells and whistles for sale at my local exclusive showroom.

So is it possible for me to get it now within Delhi, that is, if nsingh cancels his order? :)

A UPS is designed to handle overload situations also, just like inverters. It will either beep or cut off its output when it occurs. So test it by running the powerful rig with it and then switching off the power supply to the UPS. Test it first at idle load and then at max load.

Well, my design should work for the AudioEngine speakers also, since I don't see much difference in the shapes of the two. If you really want a picture of what I'm talking about, just look for pedestals meant for expensive vases on some image-search engine. They look like weight-lifting...

If you are talking about the Apogee AE5, then use the best wood only - Finland plywood. Take a block of about 6 x 6 inches in cross-section and of your desired length and then smoothen its sides. If you want it to be aesthetically pleasing, then shave lots of wood from the long edges of the...
