Ziftrcoin, but I don't really know much about it and I'm not even sure that the GPU mining is out yet

seems like the coin the rest of the LTT guys are on.

i had some friends that mined multiple types of coins, what ever the newest was, then turned them into bitcoins.

You could just buy a second hard drive for those.

Anyway, my suggestion for budget SSDs has always been Crucial. Right now the BX100 is the budget one, while the MX200 has some extra features (like AES encryption in the hardware). But if you can get the 850 EVO at such a low price, get it.

I have 2 1TB hard drives to stick all applications on.

i have 3TB of HDDs... some programs will not install to external drives.

seriously, visual studios is like 15GB, 7 of which MUST be on the C: drive.  i tried.

OP, just trust me.

I did it myself before... On a system that was infested with rats...

WTF >.<

i'd be worried about electrolytic residue on my PCBs.

ethyl alcohol ?

isopropyl

For now, shut it off, take it apart and spray some Lysol disinfectant spray on the case... let dry for 1 hour...

 

spray it around the room too...

OP doesn't spray that shit on your computer parts. take your cooler out and use it on the cooler maybe, but not near your parts.

What do you have on it apart from the OS?

programs. not even games, just lots of utilities.

i can't even install my programming programs (visual studios) or my solid works program (3d modeling) on my desktop because my drive is full.

some programs just need space bro.

My disk runs 100% with only 6 mb/s of data transfer?

but are you seeing performance issues? sometimes numbers lie.

go with at least a 240-250GB  i regret my 120 everytime i look at my drive list. 4GB free....

what's the issue here?

(other than the fact that you use avast)

take your cooler out and clean it with rubbing alcohol.

The PC's led fans flash and then the PC turn off

Any idea on how to fix this

Thanks for your help

follow your own topic.

Can a 900D fit 2 micro atx motherboards?

no

the faces....

well OP, i have a 900D and i can say this. NO.

if you want two micro ATX boards side by side then you'll need to make a custom case.

why 1ms response? 5-6 is not that big a deal...

EDIT; jeez the LTT users are amazing at tracking down displays.

Wut?

I might be visitng Canada this weekend

is swag your version of powerword: SUMMON ?

i need an SSD upgrade, maybe two because Raidsons.

swag.

Why would the new motherboard look for a drive with a windows 7 partition? If I'm replacing the broken motherboard inside the XP computer with an identical motherboard surely it will boot into windows XP if the drives and everything else is the same? Is it something to do with updated BIOS's or something?

 

I should clarify that I only wrote about his windows 7 computer for a bit of context and so that people didn't just tell me to upgrade him to 7. The problem is only with his XP system. 

 

Thanks again 

oh. well in that case it should be fine. slap that thing in and make sure the BIOS boot first device is the old XP drive. it should be fine.

i thought you meant you were putting the XP drive in the win7 computer.

clear the cmos.

it's  either a jumper or a button, check your MB manual.

or just pull out the MB button battery. then hold  the power button. come back in 2 minutes, slap the button battery back in.

lol

 

4593315 for subway on my note 2 until I had to flash CM in it and I forgot to include SS in titanium backup

oops, wrong forums

OP, try this, it's gold.

seriously, it will find every driver you need. i used it when i did laptop referbs. i'd slap a disk in 3-4 times a day.

unigine heaven 4.0 - 2887

Currently in my local stores there are only Gigabyte 970 Strix OC & MSI 970 Gaming 4G.

Which one should I go for ? 

both are great. check the stock clocks on both. go with the higher one.

hell, get both, SLI them.

when you swap MoBos is the only time you might have issues with drives and OSs.

make sure the bios is set to boot the OS drive first, it normally works out fine.

OP, your grandad's new MoBo is going to look for a drive with a win7 partition. even if you swap the drives with the old one it probably will not work.

tell your grandad most of his old games will work when ran in compatibilty mod. (i still play diablo2)

he's just going to have to learn to love win7, at first i didn't either.

if you plug both drives in at once you might have OS boot issues too. plug both in, them make sure you direct the bios to boot the win7 drive.

from there he can transfer all his XP files to his win7 drive once he's in win7.

idk man, run a driver pack solution disk on that sh!t.

to be fair, win10 installer does say don't do it if you want to use that PC for anything other than checking out win10.

Can you please suggest a GPU ?

AMD 290/290x or nVidia 970

titan X. nah, JK, a 970 is great, two is even better.

Should be possible. People used Hamachi before to play Minecraft multiplayer. Basically simulates a LAN environment over the internet. So it should work with actual LAN setup. 

that's the only way I ever played minecraft.  back before notch ran out of ideas and sold out worse than metallica. good times.

both of them need to plug into a router, turn on LAN and it should work.
