    question about external cd enclosure...any technicians?

    I actually thought of that but its a brand new sony bluray drive I don't want to damage it. Its a shame my silverstone chassis won't fit the drive. I was just with it being a media system the use of an external enclosure would limit me to only data.

    question about external cd enclosure...any technicians?

    Not sure what you by fly cable. Its a four pin wire that connects to where it says analog audio on the back of the cd drive. I know from when I used to build pcs a long time ago that it was there so you could play audio cd's directly. Theres also a two pin connector for digital audio. will I...

    question about external cd enclosure...any technicians?

    Hello I'm building a new system and my chassis has a door or flap in front of the cd drive bay. I installed the cd drive and realized the door is too small for drive to open. I decided I needed an external enclosure for my drive and was wondering if anyone knows of an external enclosure that...

    What to look for in a SAS Controller.

    Thanks for the recommendations I've researched raid a bit since I posted this. I'll definetly check out the boards you mentioned. I'm going to go with the new seagate drives 15k 146g SAS 8mb cache x2.. From what i've read raid 0 will fulfill my needs as I really need fast transfer rates rather...

    What to look for in a SAS Controller.

    Hey I'm new to SAS and RAID, in fact I have no clue what RAID levels are or anything. Basically I'm going to have several SAS 10k 15k drives in a new system i'm putting together and don't know what to look for in a controller card. Not really concerned about compatibility with SATA/II but want...

I need to run many apps at the same time such as cinema 4d, painter (using 75meg + files), excel, firefox, games etc.. my current system is just inadequate and I...

    small bug I cannot figure out with using getche() and array

    Thanks, although I couldn't figure out how to limit the amount of characters inputed using getch()I managed to use the isdigit instead of using my own function. I had to change my program around because for some reason it would compile okay but whenever I entered a number it would crash. I...

    small bug I cannot figure out with using getche() and array

    Like I said I just bashed out the code from the proper program to test what wasn't working right, thats not the real one. I was trying to illustrate how in the input loop you cannot enter a dot to start an octet so it asks for the input again clearing the value aswell as repositioning the...

    small bug I cannot figure out with using getche() and array

    This isn't the full program but I rewrote the functional part that is causing the problem. The program i'm working on is going to be used to calculate subnets and vlsm's. All I'm asking of c++ and getche() is that It will prevent the user from starting the ip address (or octet of ip address)...

    small snippet don't know why it doesn't work

    On second thought, what is my code doing then? with the input 1234 I get the output 3434, you'd think the compiler would say something if it was incorrect syntax. Unless its storying two instances of two input values, I don't know, I can't find anything anywhere that says anything about...

    small snippet don't know why it doesn't work

    hello I'm a little confused as to why this isn't working, I think it may be the IDE/compiler I use which is Dev c++ 4 (I didn't know what other group to post this in) Its a snippet from a larger program I'm using I wanted to test what exactly wasn't working. I have a 2d array and to test it you...

    CD Encoding can you help?

    Hello I have a question about CD encoding, on this page http://www.digitalprosound.com/Features/2000/Sept/RecCD5.htm the third paragraph under SUBCODES it explains about the PQ subcode data and how there are 8 bits in each frame P & Q being the first two. Now they say P (1bit) gives information...

    don't understand how system hierarchy works.

    hm so the os must have done most of the work for you in other words, or at least a good chunk of it. So for example the qbasic statement print "hello" would go to a routine(in memory) in the dos kernel that take's input and displays it on screen, So when the programmers of qbasic first made...

    don't understand how system hierarchy works.

    Hello, I posted this in the qbasic forum because its an old dos program and I have a dos related question that also pertain's to a compiler such as qbasic. In an paragraph in my 'Troubleshooting, maintaining, repairing pc's' book it explains (somewhat) that if you use say print "hello" that the...
