Re: Skybuck's updated dream pc design for 2005 (version 4)

Keep your movie collection online.

I read in sci.electronics.design that Nikonja wrote (in ) about 'Skybuck's updated dream pc design for 2005 (version 4)', on Thu, 10 Nov 2005:

You don't know about the next but one version of Windows?

I have nearly this much storage. However I would not do it with a set of internal drives, the way that was being suggested. Instead stick a couple of the Buffalo TeraStation units on a network connection to the machine. As for 'why you'd want it', I have a data base containing every engineering drawing, program, the compiler used to generate the program, sources and notes, from a company designing electronics. A typical project will run to about 250MB, and there are usually two or three 'in operation' at any time, and I have to be able to look back over the last four or five years of data. The data is duplicated on another site, and on tapes, but the 'in use' copy is mine. Two HP network storage units, and one of the Buffalo units. Use RAID, since though nothing is perfect, this gives a higher chance of data surviving a simple 'drive'failure.

Who needs 2.5TB of hard disk space ??? What would I do with it ?

I have nearly 2TB and I don't have warez, movies or p*rn on there. It is a general rule of computing these days that data grows to fill the storage space you have.

And then one day you can't boot anymore and all that 'space' is not accessible any longer.

On Thu, 10 Nov 2005 01:33:50 +0100, "Skybuck Flying" had a flock of green cheek conures squawk out:

You can get adapters for them and the two Seagate hard drives I have in my pc have both power connectors. Also, some motherboards come with 4-pin molex to sata power adapters.

Only a few companies have made drivers or applications available in

64-bit.

only

connectors. )

Let's see

500 GB for applications (some applications already 2 to 4 GB) 500 GB for games ( some games already 2 to 4 GB) 500 GB for films (films around 1 to 2 GB) 500 GB for television series (300 MB per show) 500 GB for p*rn lol

Even that is not likely to need more than 2gb in anything but way excessive hyperbole. So what does one do with most of the other

2.498 TB ?

spacccceeeee

Ofcourse I can boot ;)

I simply use system commander for dual/multi boot.

I simply install another operating system as a backup operating system incase something happens with the first operating system ;)

And then there is still the possible of bootable cd's =D

Bye, Skybuck.

Development environments ;) (For example visual studio, maybe even delphi, etc ;) :) )

Maybe even some graphics programs =D

Bye, Skybuck.

On top of this all there are other benefits:

1. Never having to find files to delete

Using this power supply wattage calculator for a computer it turns out that

600 watts might be jjjjust enough for the full system/monster (6 sata drives, all memory sticks, 2 power eating graphics cards, etc ) at 100% cpu and 100% graphics card and I am sure my system will hit those percentages in the near future during games ;) ooooh yeah.

So one would have to be carefull not too add any other extra stuff to this system because the power supply might not be able to deliver it and then the system is in trouble ;) or cut back on some drives or graphics cards or sticks etc...

Or alternatively...

Instead of using two very power hungry 7800 GTX graphics cards... one could choose two 7800 GT graphics cards... which consume a lot less wattage.

With the two power hungry 7800 GTX cards the needed wattage will be about

600 ! Give or take a little for fans and other unencounted things.

With the two less power hungry 7800 GT cards the needed wattage will be about 568 ! Give or take little for the fans and other unencounted things.

So then the system should run just fine... even with extra usb mouses or other usb devices attached to it... (Currently the design will have a ps/2 keyboard and a ps/2 mouse... but the power supply calculator doesn't include it ?)

Good thing I checked this wattage stuff man... because it turns out... this is one power hungry motherfucka hahahahahaha lovely =D (euhm not really... makes me cry aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :P:))

Bye, Skybuck.

Oh I see it's at the buttom... 40 watt for motherboard and 3 watts for keyboard and mouze ;)

Hey folks,

Check out this new thread:

Or simply google for:

Skybuck updated dream pc

For google newsgroups.

The design is still not done... but it's getting close ;)

So expect the final design hopefully before the end of the year lol ;)

Right now I am investigating power requirements and ampere stuff etc ;)

It seems instead of the GTX 7800 cards the GT 7800 should be used because those require less wattage...

I still need to investigate if 18A on the 12+ volt rail is enough for the GTX or GT ;)

Bye, Skybuck.

Well occording to this review the seasonic S12 600 watt power supply had no troubles powering a double 7800 gtx graphics card sli setup.

Small wie :)

So at least the amperage stuff shouldn't be of any concern anymore woeh.
