Nothing, as long as you're fine with the obvious limitations a mini-ATX build will bring (Smaller size = fewer expansion capabilities)

can i put a 3.5 inch drive in a 5.25 inch bay securely?

I've got this
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:355C
and am wondering what the most recent linux distro I could put on it is. I'm guessing something modern like debian is out of the question because
>4MB RAM
but windows 3.1 is silly. Also, she's got no ethernet port or CDROM drive so I'm at a loss as how to install whatever I decide on. It does have a PCMCIA and a parallel port so I'm wondering if there's an adapter I could buy to get either of those going, and where the hell I'd look (ebay I guess?).


actually, any info at all would be helpful, I don't even know what type of memory this fucking things takes, but I'm guessing it's not DDR.

it seems that electrostatic drivers aren't good with bass

so what would happen if you mounted a tiny noctua-spun rotary subwoofer right behind each cup in a stax earspeaker?

Crunchbang may also be out of the question
Puppy Linux maybe? Or DSL?

When I play flash videos full screen on my laptop, it plays unbelievably slow and there's a lot of tearing. Are there any workarounds apart from using pepperflash? Running Crunchbang with a Radeon 3200

puppy is out of the question, as they recommend 256MB for a good experience. DSL might work but I think I'm going to have to upgrade the memory. speaking of which it seems it uses some sort of proprietary memory standard (picture very related). I assume based on the check mark boxes that it can handle up to 32MB

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kingston-32MB-Memory-Card-VT56050-0A-for-IBM-Thinkpad-370C-570C-755C-P850-/321151806477?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ac623ac0d

I may get this and chance it, despite not listing the 355c as being compatible.


I don't suppose the processor on these behemoths can be upgraded.

Best File System for Linux?

>>35517795
Depends on a lot of things. In general ext2/3/4 is fine depending on what you want.

I have everything i Need to start my build, apart from the ssd, it will come tomorrow, should i start now and put the ssd in tomorrow or should i wait ?

>>35517814
General use mainly. (Office work, internet browsing, music, etc)

>>35517795
btrfs

>>35517820
wait, more fun like that

My power supply is making a sound like an electrical arc whenever I turn it on. Guessing it's fucked.
Anyways, wondering what I should be looking for.
I have a FX-4170, 2x 2tb's, a 3tb, a ssd, and a 5770.
What's a good brand, and how many watts will I need?
I'm pretty much limited to these: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=15

Installed Mint yesterday

Freezes several times a day ...rebooting...
good core monitor?
additional suggestions are welcome

>>35517795
depents. e.g. xfs is reliable and good for huge files, reiserfs is good for A LOT of little files. jfs is someting in the middle.
btrfs has support of cow, snapshots, multiply tomes, etc
for general purpose just use ext4

>>35515068 (OP)
I'm not sure what do you want, but you can make global mpd hotkeys with xbindkeys and mpc.

ok, so here's the final plan
buy kingston 32MB memory upgrade, pray it works
buy a parallel port CDROM drive and pray it works
stick DSL on that baby and see if she'll deal with it.
then find a way to get ethernet (or start a trial with AOL like I'm 10 again and use the (what I assume to be) 56k modem.

Depends on what they were after. Kids would just break things for fun. Others might want info or other things.

They might have done it just for wrecking havoc, or they wanted to remove content / get information.

Will my external hard drive die faster if I leave it plugged in all the time instead of only plugging it in when I need it?

>>35518066
If you do a lot of torrenting, it will die faster. If you don't mount the partitions on it and just leave it in there, it will be better than wearing out the connector by (un)plugging it everytime.

Do you think that replacing the motherboard would fix it?

How to change your icon theme
Download your new icon theme and extract the contents to either /usr/share/icons for all users or ~/.icons/ for your own use. Select your new theme from Preferences > User Interface Settings (under the Icon Theme tab, naturally).

>>35517866
Seasonic.. you don't need an excessively big power supply probably a 550W would do but buying a supply with more wants guarantees you that you can use it in the future if you upgrade your GPU or any part of your equipment to something more power hungry

"mpc volume +10"

would control mpd via mpc using the super key (windows key) and the insert,delete,home,end,pgup/down cluster
as well as arrow keys for volume and seeking.

Hello /g/
> I asked this question in a previous thread but it 404 when i left the house

I have this computer case right now

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147157

It's ok but dust is getting in there pretty easily, it did not come with any dust filters. Do anyone have any recommendations on a case that i don't have to clean in every 2 weeks.

I have 16 fans, 2 cd drives, 6 hard drives, atx mobo, zalman CNPS9700 & a 7970 so you get a idea of how it looks inside. I plan on getting another 7970 in the future

I have a price range of $400 I would prefer to have some kind of filtering system for dust like dust filters. I only got the case in the link cause of all the fans I could add to it to keep cool, not for ricing and sounding like a jet engine.

What is a thin client? How would I go about gaining access to one? How would I then use this thin client on GNU/Linux to access windows applications like Microsoft Word etc?

I have an old phone (lg optimus l7) and i wanna get a new one. I've been thinking of getting 920 since Im tired of the androids mini lags everywhere. Should I get it?

>>35519392
The Lumia 920 is deprecated, please think of the 925, 928 / 1020 if you are remotely serious.

>>35519529
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-enterprise-47/how-can-i-bring-the-backgroud-process-to-foreground-607782/

I did it via obkey, just set your media keys to ncmpcpp toogle, ncmpcpp next, ncmpcpp previous or however the commands are called.

>>35519406
But all of those lumia's have the same processors and similar specs and i dont need a 41mpixel camera.

>>35519566
Get a deprecated phone then. Hell if you want to switch to something new most of the time you want to get something recent. It would be like iOS fags switching to Android and getting a galaxy nexus.

>>35519468

Ok, how does that help me? Someone asked for the link it was provided.

>>35519593
You said it 404'd when you left the house, reading that thread may have had some helpful responses.

>>35519582
Okay then, what phone would you reccommend?

>>35519593
My bad, I thought that was the non-archive link. But anyway, there you have the archive and I assumed you haven't read it.

>>35519617
Lumia range is the only one worth getting, seeing as they have a shitty update support life the newer the better. I doubt Microsoft will try to make a surface phone, so best to stick with Lumia 925/8 or 1020 if you want updates for a while.

The wallpaper might be included in a driver package provided by windows update. Or maybe you installed the drivers manually?

Which pins on a USB connector are solely used for
power? Would removing them still allow for data exchange with a device that has its own power supply, say between phone and laptop?

Jesus mother of shit. Please tell me you aren't a chain smoker next to your computer or trolling.
>16 fans
What's the point? Get two main large ones, one for pushing air in, other for pushing it out. Have only those two fans covering the only main entry points for air. Cover the rest up with something.

A cheap filter you can make by cutting up a womens pantyhose, and stretching a few layers of the material over the fans where it won't get caught/hooked on a stra fan blade. Get black ones for >dat ricer look. You'll barely spend 5 bucks if that.
