3000 J converted to NAS, Are there fan control settings/ways to reduce power consumption?

So I've had this old 3000 J series - (J115 7388) that's been sitting doing nothing for a while, so I decided to convert it into a FreeNAS, I've stripped out the DVD, card readers, anything unneccesary to reduce power usage - on that theme I have a few questions...
1. Is there a setting in the BIOS to automate the fans as & when needed to make the system quieter & to reduce power consumption - there will be 2x 2tb WD green drives in there with an idle time of 5 mins, atm I'm using one 320GB HDD from an old laptop - the system won't be used 90% of the time & I'd like it to be able to react when needed rather than constantly be on
the specs http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-67129 say the fan is variable, but I can't see anything obvious in the BIOS, it did take me some time to find the boot order, so maybe I'm overlooking something
So that's my main question & this is the bonus
2. I know there's an Nvidia C51G chipset in there somewhere, is it possible to remove this, there's no GUI on the pc anymore, so again, & also anything else like sound, just to make it as efficient as possible & not to have any unessesary components using power
I have downloaded updated the latest BIOS (circa 2007) onto another pc from http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS001014 - even if it does provide an update to what I already have - I did note 2007 already on the BIOS version, of course I can't run it to try to make a bootable usb as the downloaded exe is for XP
I'm having a little trouble with the Lenovo site UI, not sure if it's coding - the links to guides/docs/drivers/downloads on http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/guides-and-manuals/default.page?selector=expand just don't seem to be working for me

Are you sure there are no trojans or viruses on laptop? Also lounch the task manager and check out the service or application with deranged CPU loading while the laptop is in the idle mode. What is the power usage in the idle mode?

When using Final Cut Express, the video in the Viewer window looks fine, but when I insert the video into the Canvas Timeline it appears to lose resolution, and look fuzzy and blurry. Are there preferences or settings for the Timeline that cause this?

When using Final Cut Express, the video in the Viewer window looks fine, but when I insert the video into the Canvas Timeline it appears to lose resolution, and look fuzzy and blurry. Are there preferences or settings for the Timeline that cause this?

Thanks David. I had to convert the mts file to Quick Time (using AunSoft Conversion software) before I could import it into Final Cut Express. And I made sure I kept the size of movie (720 X 480 with letterbox) to compliment what I set my Panaconic AVCCAM video recorder at (720/60). Even after I fully render it, it still looks fuzzy in the Canvas window at the right that plays what I have editing down in the Timeline. A friend that edits some using Final Cut Pro helped me to narrow things down to this problem. This is also wierd. If my Viewer window at the left is set to 200% to get the person's head the same size in the Canvas window at the right we needed to put it to 400%. Does this make any sense. We think we need to control the Time line resolution somehow but cannot find any options from my manual, or the help, or in the various drop down menus. Do you have any clue? What is going on?

Are there parental controls on nano?

Are there parental controls on the new nano?

If there is, it would be listed in the user manual: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_nano_6thgen_User_Guide.pdf

P67A-GD65 problem with newest BIOS - no fan control settings.

After instaling newest version (V1.16) of BIOS I cant find fan control settings (2 chasis fans + % of cpu fan). Theres only smart cpu target temp. and nothing else.
is this some sort of bug, or MSI lost their minds?
Oh, and CPU phase LED's are blinking like mad (those were not blinking at all before).

Flash back to your previous BIOS and report your finding to MSI.

Are there fans to replace the stock P4

Okay, I know there are plenty of HS/Fans to use instead of the stock P4 2.8C HS/Fan. At this time I don't want to mess with removing the stock HS. Are there any fans out there that will fit/work with the stock P4 HS? I was hoping to replace the stock fan with one that has a higher air flow rate.

well, first, figure out how big your fan is, (maybe 70mm?) then just find some 70mm fans for sale :/ thats what i do, but yes, i usually just buy a HS/F, and take the fan i like offa the HS/F i just bought, and switch the two
for example, i had a ThermalTake Volcano 5, crappy older aluminum heatsink, but really kickass fan, then i bought a 2800+ and got a stock HS/F with it! the HS was NIIIICE, copperbase and everything, but it had a slow, AMD fan, soooo... both fans were same size, so i took the AMD fan off, and replaced it with my Tt, now i have 2 decent HS/F, one is really kickass, and the other i can still at least use on an older 1.5ghz computer or so...
generally not much cheaper to just get a fan than get a fan AND a heatsink... jus just get a HS/F and switch the fans...
but hey man, are you like lazy about switching HS/F ? becuase i mean, on a P4, its super simple, (or are you like me, and don't want to take it off because you applied the thermal paste perfectly, and don't want to mess it up ??? :D)

Are there hidden HDMI settings?

I am using my K1 to watch video streaming on a large screen plasma. All is working great, except for the fact that the Android system bar is highly visible at the bottom of the screen - very annoying for video watching.
When I looked for solutions on the web, there was a how to video for the Xoom that showed that tablet had the ability to only show the program at 1280x720 with the system bar cropped out.
Is this possible with the K1? Is there a "hidden" settings panel to adjust how HDMI is output? Is it possible to "mute" the system bar somehow?

Thanks for the advice, I'll try it. What I did that worked was to paste the text into Text Edit and change it to Plain Text and then paste it back into Mail. The attachment idea sounds easier.

Are there fan noises from MBP retina 13inch?

i was thinking if i should upgrade to 15inch MBP retina (im within 14days of purchase), but there are lots, i mean LOTS of complaints about fan noises in 15inch
to me 13inch MBP retina has nearly non-existance fan noise which is good, has anyone who owns 13inch MBP retina experince any fan noises?
kind regards

Hi CouchP,
I know that there have been some reported issues of the fans running unexpectedly with the 15" retina display, but I stand to tell you that I have personally not had any issues. I've had my retina display since January and I use it all day for work and home and have not had any issues at all with my fan. I use istat Pro to monitor my fan levels and there has been no issue. Keep in mind that those who report issues here are because they actually have issues. Just think of the millions who do not report issues. Besides, the issues that have been reported are intermittent issues and have reported that the fans come on for 30 - 60 seconds and then quiet down again. It's no difference than if you were watching a movie or video which causes the fans to come on anyway.
Just my opinion on the matter. I LOVE my 15" book.

Are there any controls over the yellow cycle bar?

Hello to all! I wonder if there are any means [shortcuts] of getting the yellow cycle bar to be placed at any chosen point of one's track? Presently I am using the cursor to drag and place it at the desired place, and also have to tug at its ends to resize it. Having become used to FCPX's 'shortcuts' which are so easy to use, I would love to know whether there are any shortcuts to place the yellow bar where we want it [say, place the skimmer at that point and click upon the mouse!]

"You can drag songs". Mac 101. That was the key. I immediately dragged my "Bluegrass" Smart Playlist into the Up Next box and "Viola"!
Thanks.

Why are there but ten (10) ways to shortcut styles?

Friends,
You can create shortcuts for character styles and paragraph styles by hitting OPTION + a number on the KEYPAD.
You might think there are only ten options, but you can also use other combinations, like COMMAND + OPTION + a number on the KEYPAD.
Anyone else know other ways?

Styles can be set to any combination of Option/Alt + NumPad. On a PC you can combine it with Ctrl for more options, and on a Mac you can combine Cmd and/or Shift.
Thats it, should be enough combos to last all your styles. For more info on this, check out this document: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WS9D351498-DAAC-4be1-B4B8-2B6C72FF6CEDa.html #WS60910FA3-2BD7-449d-9904-05CFA551665Da

Are there parental controls on the nano? Can you block the 'games'?

Help! I am trying to help a friend to young son just received a nano for Christmas. His friends are using the nano more for games than music (why I don't know...) but my friend wants to block the 'games' on her son's new nano before he figures out that there are games. I know you can keep the 'games' off the main menu but can you block them entirely? Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
iPod Nano (2G) Other OS

No you can't block the games, and to be honest I don't see the point anyway !
What kind of spoilsport parents buy a present and then wants to disable a harmless set of very simple games.
They are using it for games because it is fun and they are enjoying themselves!!!
Maybe there should be a 'No Fun' option on the iPod, and only allow miserable music to be installed.....

Are there any connection settings for using rtsp:...

In my effort to get access in 'YouTube" steaming videos, I tried to find the scope available in Nokia 3110C handset. After going through the Menu icons, I identified one Menu Item in the path : MAIN MANU>MEDIA>MEDIA PLAYER>GO TO ADDRESS. It is...rtsp://. The help message states ...'Lets you manually enter Web Address...'. I entered : ' rtsp//m.youtube.com. The response was a Note which reads - Check Connection Settings... Again I followed the above path : MAIN MANU>MEDIA>MEDIA PLAYER>STREAM SETT. I click the Stream Settings. The nesponsing note : 'No Settings found. Contact your Service Provider'. So, from the above discussion the net learning I got is I must have the Stream Settings to get YouTube going in my Set. My querry is : Whare those settings and what is the source in getting those settings ? I understood the rtsp (Real Time Stream Protocol) is more versatile than HTTP and MMS in getting Streaming data (numerical, photograph/radio). Please suggest.

I experienced same problem with my 3110c handset. At first the STREAMING SETT was shadowed dark with a restriction to get access there. Later I got contact with BSNL (my SP). After downloading the settings I discovered that the shadowy patch over Streaming Sett. has gone. It now shows an entry ..."bsnlstream."
So far an attempt was made to activate the Youtube, a message reminds me that the software of 3110C is not supporting such application.

ARD 3.3 slow screen redraw - are there special router settings ?

Hello all !
I think I read somewhere on previous Google searches about special router settings to help ARD run as quickly as possible.
I connect to an external site via an intermediate machine in a DMZ area for security (Network Group stipulation) and have found ARD 3 to be sluggish on a line that has actually been upgraded from 2MBit to 10 MBit ...
I am ARDing from my machine to another also running ARD to then get to the site ...
I also recall version 2 of ARD "seemed" to be better redraw then this version ...

So is NO ONE experiencing this?
I find that hard to believe...

Are there Slideshow controls?

The slideshow feature on Apple TV of my pics runs them out of date order and rotates some of them on their sides. Can I control this?

i usually don't download and correct files unless i'm hired.
addendum: thank you for offering to pay me. downloading and correcting someone's source files can involve significant time. but sometimes there's just not enough work required for me to charge. this is one of those times.
change the code to the following and your file should work as expected. there's no charge.
var mcA:Array = [Scene1_mc,Scene2_mc,Scene3_mc];
var index:uint = 0;
mcA[index].nextFrame();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,f);
function f(e:Event):void{
    mcA[index].nextFrame()
    if (mcA[index].currentFrame == mcA[index].totalFrames){
        mcA[index].gotoAndStop(1);
        index=(index+1)%mcA.length;
        mcA[index].nextFrame();

How to sync captured JPEG to original video: Are there some Develop settings that won't transfer?

I'm starting with the corrected JPEG and then highlighting the original video so they are both selected, but the JPEG settings are not applied to the video when I Sync Settings -- things like color, sharpening, and noise reduction.

SInce I don't see how to delete my question, I'll answer it.
My first syncs were from Quick Develop. After I made more adjustments in Develop I forgot to add them to the sync list. But, now that I'm doing it over, I see that anytime I have a video included in the set to sync, noise reduction, sharpening, and other settings aren't available (grayed out). Which says to me: if the sdjustments aren't available when a video is open in Quick Development, then they can't be made.
It's nice that we can get good-lucking captured JPEG frames, but I thought the whole idea was supposed to be a work-around, where further adjustments COULD be made to videos by syncing to the JPEGS. As this was one of the main reasons I upgraded to LR4 immediately (because I had a pending video project), I'm quite disappointed to find LR4 is still so limited in its video processing capabilities!
