Best Cooling Tower Case With Handles

I'm trying to build a computer that will run Premiere Pro CS 5.5 and other programs.
From reading on these forums, it looks like the best options for me right now are:
i7 2600K
Asus Sabertooth P67
GTX 570
16GB Patriot 1333MHz RAM
Windows 7 Home
500GB hard drive for the system and programs and page file
Four 1TB drives in two RAID-0 configuations
I'm probably not going to overclock right now because I don't want to be so concerned with overheating. I may try overclocking later.
I got some prices at Fry's, which includes the Corsair 600T Tower Case.
I have 2 questions:
1. I read on a forum that a guy was having problems with cooling on the 600T and another person said the 20mm fans are too small, that 30mm are better.
2. I'm also trying to find a case that has a handle (or handles) so that I can transport it easily back and forth to another location.
I've read here to stay away from the small or mini towers because they don't cool well enough and that makes sense to me.
I only saw one at Fry's that had a handle, but I can't remember the name of it.
I like the Mac Pro tower style handles. Good and solid.
Anyone know of a case that is:
1. Great for cooling the above configuration, and
2. Has a handle?
Any feedback on the other componenets would be great as well.
Thanks for any help or advice.

Flyingfish,
I can think of two pretty good possibilities for a luggable (mid or larger) case with a handle, and I'm sure there are others out there as well (Google LAN party):
Thermaltake V5 Black Edition Mid-tower Gaming Case (has nice full handle)
Any mid or full tower case + Sunbeam LAN Party Bag (includes strong straps that go around case to carry any case and keyboard using backpack style straps, shoulder strap, or a handle)
Don't scrimp on cooling, even if you do not plan on overclocking; look for a dual fan heat pipe style that will fit with whatever case you do choose. Good cooling will keep your rendering reliable and will allow for the 2600k to "turbo" (speed itself up) more effectively.
Now, regarding your component list, it looks just great! Don't forget a 850 watt p/s from a solid manufacturer. Also, skip the Corsair 600T; I brought one home I liked the design so well, then returned it when I realized the fans were not up there with the best fans and the typical high-quality replacement fans (Scythe Gentle Typhoon, etc.) do not fit without starting to drill holes, etc.

BEST iPad 2 case, WITH screen protection built in!!

I am looking for the best ipad 2 case. I know there are other posts on here, but I can never find the information I am personally looking for.
First of all let me start by saying I have an iphone 3gs. On my iphone I have an otterbox which is water resistant, shock proof, and it COVERS the screen.
That is exactly what I want, except I want it in ipad 2 form.
I am looking for an ipad 2 case that has a screen. I do not want a screen protector I want my case to have the screen. But I havent come accross any like that. I bought an otterbox but it didn't have a screen, I don't know if I bought the wrong otterbox, but if anyone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it!!
Thankssss

You'll get more responses to this in the "Using iPad" forum then here... you may want to move it.
But to start - what do you mean by wanting a case that "covers the screen" and "to have the screen" but not a screen protector? It seems like you want a case that covers the screen but at the same time lets you use the screen? But is not a screen protector?

Best Ipad3 case with keyboard? Can I use a Ipad 2 case for Ipad 3?

I just bought the Ipad3 and I need to buy the case, but all the cases I found are for the Ipad 2 - are the Ipad 2 and 3 the same size? Can I use same case?
Which one is the best case with keyboard for ipad 3?
Thanks!

First, we have a whole bunch of threads on this, so a search would help, and it would offer dozens of answers to this you might want to think about including a long thread where I reviewed a whole bunch of keyboards for the ipad3....
But in short,
The Zagg Folio fits both the 2 and the 3 -- most people are finding in general that almost all cases made for the ipad 2 work with the iPad 3....
The Zagg has what I have found to be, by far, the best keyboard with the least errors -- in fact, I was able to get about 60 wpm on the keyboard without error after only a few minutes of practice. The downside is that the case is flimsy, looks kinda cheap, and its really hard to get the iPad out of the folio case -- I've found I have stopped using the folio at all, and just use the keyboard on my desk at work.
The clamcase fits both the ipad 2 and the iPad 3 -- it is by far the best overall case/keyboard that I have found. It looks great -- and the keyboard works well. Because of the realignment of the magnets in the ipad 3, it does not turn on/turn off the iPad like it does with the ipad 2, where that works flawlessly.
The downside is that the keys are cramped, and the error rate increases. With about a half hour of practice, I got about a 45 wmp typing rate, and that included several errors that required correction. It's a tradeoff because the keyboard feels good, the response is good, but because the keys are not seperated it is harder to type. I use this case only when I go on longer trips and don't want to take my laptop.
The nest overall keyboard is the Apple bluetooth keyboard without a case -- but it's a pain to lug it along, and you need a seperate "easel" for your ipad. Still, it's the best keyboard you can use -- and I get 65 wpm error free with this keyboard. I have one at home, and it's my keyboard of choice when you don't need the case.
Finally, I've gound that Brookstone makes a decent keyboard -- it works well, comes in multiple colors, and its actually more stable than the Zagg folio. The keyboard is not as good, though, and is plastic-y feeling. Still, it might be a fair tradeoff.
Almost all other keyboards are made by the same companies and distributed to third parties who put them into their own cases. I'd stay away from most of the other keyboards.
Overall -- for the convenience of the sheer folio thing, the Clamcase is about as good as it gets, even though it is about 50 dollars more than the Zagg and other similar models. Plus it makes your iPad look like a macbook, which is kind of cool.

Would selling cool iPhone cases on eBay be a good ieda im 16 im trying to create a job for my self becasue times are hard

selling cool iPhone cases a good ieda?

While it sounds like a good idea, you will have an incredible amount of competition as anyone can go anywhere to buy an iPhone case. You would have to advertise your business and explain why someone would want to buy from you rather than Best Buy, RadioShack, or any other place where they can pick up a case in an afternoon and not have to wait for it to be shipped. Keep up the business spirit. Maybe look for something you can where you live. Offer a service of some type. Good luck with your search.

Changing Hp p7-1241 case to ATX Mid Tower Case

Hi, I'm planning to move my HP p7-1241 desktop into an ATX Mid Tower Case
My cousin suggested that i should go with, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233 Cooler Master HAF ATX Mid Tower Case.
Is it going to be possible moving my desktop into this case? My main concern is with mobo cuz its stock and i have no clue if it would mount properly. I am also looking for some suggestions.
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
The following link shows physical dimension of the motherboard:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03359126&prodSeriesId=518702...
(uATX - 24.4 cm (9.6 inches) x 24.4 cm (9.6 inches))
A normal ATX Mid Tower case should be ok for both micro ATX and ATX motherboards.
Regards.

What is the best way to work with Word documents in The InDesign CS4???

I work in Microsoft Word 2007 and all my documents have *.doc format.
What is the best way to work with Word documents in InDesign CS4???
David Blatner says to avoid copying and pasting text from Word instead of placing it (Ctrl+D).
How about pasting RTF or Text Document???
I want to make book's layout in ID CS4 and its main feature is that there is the left page with text and the right - with graphics.
So, as I understand to place the text on each page I must create for example 70 Word documents and place each item on 70 left pages???
It loks like wasting time. I sthere another way of making such layout??? What kind????

It's best to place any text.
You can have all of your text in one file and use auto-flow to add threaded text frames and pages as required (Hold down the Shift key when you click the loaded text cursor), but it's a little non-standard to have the thread only on one side of the spread from the auto-flow perspective, so you'll have to set up properly.
This is one case where a master text frame will work to your advantage. On your master page spread, add a text frame to the left page, but not to the right (or at least not threaded to one on the right -- for some other project you might actually want two independent text threads). Hold the loaded cursor over a frame on the left side of a document page and auto-flow. ID will add new spreads as necessary, but only put the text on the left side.

Destructive Samples with Handling Units

Dear Experts,
I just wanted to check if there's anyone who has encountered destructive inspection for samples with Handling Units and how this was managed (via enhancements/operational workaround).
Based on SAP KBA 1771624, destructive sampling will not work for HU due to all or nothing approach. We are currently considering the following options but would like to get your insights on this in case there is a better approach for this problem.
1. During Goods Receipt, sample usage quantity will be packed in separate HU from the rest of the quantity. This option will work provided that sample usage quantity is known before quality inspection. e.g. I will recieve 100 pcs of MAT A, 15 pcs for sample usage will be packed under HU1 and the remaining 85 pcs under HU2. UD stock posting will be performed in 2 steps, 1st for GI to sample usage for HU2 and 2nd for transfer to unrestricted/blocked/etc. for HU2
2. Receive full quantity under 1 HU. Complete quality inspection (results recording, ud and stock posting). Unpack the material to be able to perform GI to sample for the quantity that was used for destructive inspection.

Hi Craig/Vignesh,
Thank you for your providing your inputs on this. I will take them into consideration.
I have another option to address this requirement, that is to (1) receive the material into non HU storage location (2) perform UD and stock posting, i.e. GI to sample usage and unrestricted-use/blocked stocks (3) transfer unrestricted-use/blocked stocks to HU managed location.
Do you think this will be more efficient operationally versus the other 2 options above?
I am trying to find the most effective way to address this requirement with minimum impact to Logistics operation. Most of our materials are managed in HU and destructive sampling is regularly done so users will be performing the steps in SAP a lot.

I think I've found the best iPhone 3G case, What do you think?

Just wanted to post some feedback on my experience with the ivyskin Glass Touch-Thru Ultrathin iPhone 3G Case.
Yes I signed up just to write this review after being a perverse voyeur on these forums for awhile now, but I am no way affiliated with ivyskin. I recommend this case hands down, it has all that I was looking for in one. It's hard shell case with real glass touch screen built into the case. All ports are covered with a soft silicon so is the home button. The best part is that they'll be introducing a QuattroPac battery extension that fits into this case later next month.
Putting it on is simple but you need to be careful about the volume switch, you need to insert the iPhone into the case from that side as instructed on the manual because I didn't want to break anything or scratch my phone, anyway it is quite simple.
You should check this case out before you look at anything else, or after you look at all the cases to compare.

Jean-Michel Massey wrote:
Is a few scratches on the back of the phone going to break it? Technology is there to be used not to pamper, do you guys have a silk pillow to let your phone rest upon at night...
No, but having slippery hands and accidentally dropping the iPhone will. A case will give you a much better grip and a lot better protection (if not 100%) should you ever drop the iPhone. I've seen people have iPhones without cases and dropping them accidentally only to have cracked their screens that they have to fork out more money to fix or replace them.
Are you really that obtuse?

What is the best way to work with AVCHD 720 24p footage in FCE4.1?

Hi I have a Panasonic HMC-150 and I've been shooting 720 24p footage at 21 mbps transfer rate.
I was wondering what is the best way to work with this material in FCE 4.1? I see that in the easy set up menu they only have the option of 1440X1080i at 50 or 60 fps or 1920X1080i at 50 or 60 fps.
Also in the rates drop down menu there is only 50 or 29.97.
So I was wondering which is the best choice for 720 24p footage and will it look alright in any of them? Also is it possible to customize these settings?
And finally can you work with faster transfer rates (21mbps) in FCE?

Yikes, this is going to be tricky since FCE does not support native 24p editing.
The work around for some of us is that AVCHD material that is 24p is often recorded to disc at 60i using telecine, in which case it can be editing at 29.97 frames per second, and then detelecined afterward for final export at 23.98 fps. The problem is that I think your camera actually records real 24p - not 24p packed into 60i. When you import the material from the camera what does QuickTime report the framerate as?

Create case with vi:s from folder

I want to create a case with n number of sub vi inside. I have a folder containing n number of vi:s, they all have the same inputs and outputs.
My problem is that I dont know how many there is and I want to be able to open a specific one depending on its name in a string, send in some parameters and get some back.
Is there any way to create a case on startupp that has as many frames as there are vi:s in the folder, give the case frame the name of the vi, add the vi icon in the case and connect the wires to it. Or is this possible to do in an outher way? Calling it some way?

Use scripting to generate your case. This would require a scripting license if you're using LabVIEW 8.x. Also, scripting is beyond the scope of these forums. If you want to learn more you can head over to LAVA.
Just want to clarify before people start calling NI about it. There is no such thing as a scripting license. This product does not exist, so let's all please stop talking about this imaginary license. Scripting is an internal feature of LabVIEW reserved for internal use only and NI does not want people to use it. NI makes it difficult for anyone to use and access. This is done on purpose. The only way to get access to it is to hack LabVIEW. Some have managed to do this and have posted their findings and experiments on LAVA. Using scripting techniques is totally unsupported by NI.
On the other hand, it's a great tool for doing some amazingly cool stuff in LabVIEW.

IPhone 4 Case WITH Screen Protector

what case do you guys recommend to use WITH a screen protector?
I read that a lot of the cases will cause the screen protector to peel up on the edges thus causing bubbles
thanks

I personally wanted a case that is as slim as possible. My preference was not to ruin such a cool, contemporary design with a bloated case that looks like the Michelin man is hugging your iPhone. So, I chose this one (screen protection kit is included): http://bit.ly/dzJx89

What's best strategy for dealing with 40+ hours of footage

We have been editing a documentary with 45+ hours of footage and presently have captured roughly 230 gb. Needless to say it's a lot of files. What's the best strategy for dealing with so much captured footage? It's almost impossible to remember it all and labeling it while logging it seems inadequate as it difficult to actually read comments in dozens and dozens of folders.
Just looking for suggestions on how to deal with this problem for this and future projects.
G5 Dual Core 2.3 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2.5 g ram, 2 internal sata 2 250gb

Ditto, ditto, ditto on all of the previous posts. I've done four long form documentaries.
First I listen to all the the sound bytes and digitize only the ones that I think I will need. I will take in much more than I use, but I like to transcribe bytes from the non-linear timeline. It's easier for me.
I had so many interviews in the last doc that I gave each interviewee a bin. You must decide how you want to organize the sound bytes. Do you want a bin for each interviewee or do you want to do it by subject. That will depend on you documentary and subject matter.
I then have b-roll bins. Sometime I base them on location and sometimes I base them on subject matter. This last time I based them on location because I would have a good idea of what was in each bin by remembering where and when it was shot.
Perhaps, you weren't at the shoot and do not have this advantage. It's crucial that you organize you b-roll bins in a way that makes sense to you.
I then have music bins and bins for my voice over.
Many folks recommend that you work in small sequences and nest. This is a good idea for long form stuff. That way you don't get lost in the timeline.
I also make a "used" bin. Once I've used a shot I pull it out of the bin and put it "away" That keeps me from repeatedly looking at footage that I've already used.
The previous posts are right. If you've digitized 45 hours of footage you've put in too much. It's time to start deleting some media. Remember that when you hit the edit suite, you should be one the downhill slide. You should have a script and a clear idea of where you're going.
I don't have enough fingers to count the number of times that I've had producers walk into my edit suite with a bunch of raw tape and tell me that that "want to make something cool." They generally have no idea where they're going and end up wondering why the process is so hard.
Refine your story and base your clip selections on that story.
Good luck

Best practice to deal with computer or departed employee

Dear All,
I would like to inquire about the best practice to deal with computer and computer account of a departed employee. should be disabled, reset, deleted, or just kept as it is until it is needed by another user?
Regards
hiam
Hiam

Ultimately your needs for their identities and equipment after they leave are what dictate how you should design this policy.
First off, I recommend disabling the account immediatly following the employee's departure. This prevents the user from using their credentials to log on again. Personally I have a "Disabled Users" OU in Active Directory. When I disable accounts
I move them here for easy future retrieval.
It is possible the user may return, or if they have access to certain systems you may need the account again. I would keep the accounts for a specific amount of time (e.g. 6 months, but this depends on your needs) and then delete them after this period of
time.
If the employee knows the passwords to any shared accounts (not a good idea though many organizations have these) or has accounts in other systems that do not use Active Directory authentication, immediately change the passwords to these accounts again following
the employee's departure.
If the employee had administrative access to their computer (not a good idea, though is the reality in most cases) you should disable the computer account and remove it from the network. This will prevent the employee from remotely accessing the machine
until you are able to rebuild or inspect it for unapproved changes.
Ask the user's manager, team members, and subordinates if there are any files that the employee would have stored on their computer. Back these up as necessary.
Most likely you will reuse the computer for another employee. For best results you should use an image so you can re-image their machine and not have to worry whether they had installed any unwanted software (backdoors, viruses, illegal software, etc).
Hope this helps.

Best method for networking with ubuntu linux

Hi,
I'm setting up an ubuntu linux fileserver, and I was wondering what the best method for filesharing with my mac is. I'm currently running osx 10.4.11, though I may be upgrading to 10.5 soon. I'll be running SMB networking for a couple of other computers, but I'd prefer something a bit more robust that can handle file permissions etc.

Mac OS X supports NSF out of the box. Configuration isn't documented.
I recall Apple got rid of net info manager in Leopard, so the configuration will be different. Perhaps more unix like.
Mac OS X support the Unix Network File System (NFS). However, it leaves out
the GUI.
This page show you how to use NetInfo Manager:
http://mactechnotes.blogspot.com/2005/09/mac-os-x-as-nfs-server.html#c1168221713 40271068
NFS Manager can both setup NFS shares and connect to NFS shares.
http://www.bresink.com/osx/NFSManager.html
Once you figure out how NFS Manager configures the NFS shares, you can
use Applications > Utilities > NetInfo Manager to create more shares.
You will either have to coordinate Unix Userid number and Unix Group Id number or use the mapall option on the share.
To find out your Mac OS X userid and group id do:
applications > utilities > terminal
ls -ln
ls -l
# lists the NFS share on your mac
showmount -e localhost
#list NFS shares on a remote host
showmount -e remote-ip-address
Once you see what NFS Manager does, you will be able to use NetInfo Manager to manage a connection. In Mac OS 10.4 you can configure the /etc/exports control file. See man exports for the details. Before that you had to have the data in NetInfo manager. When Mac OS X came out, many common Unix control files were not present. Instead the data had to be in NetInfo manager. Over time Apple has added more and more standard Unix control files.
======
You do know about the need to match userids & groupids.
# display uid and gid
ls -ln
sudo find / -user short-user-name -exec ls '-l' {} \;
# on Mac OS X
you will need to go into NetInfo Manager and select user and find your short-user-name. Change uid and guid.
#on Linux look in
/etc/passwd
/etc/group
# with care...
# change 1000:20 to your values for uid:gid
sudo find / -user short-user-name -exec chown 1000:20 {} \;
The manual for Tenon MachTen UNIX (which Apple checked when doing Mac OS
X) says that one should crate the file /etc/exports, which will cause
portmap, mountd and nsfd to launch at startup via the /etc/rc file. The
file must not contain any blank lines or comments, and each line has the
syntax
directory -option[, option] hostlist
where 'directory is the pathname of the directory that can be exported,
and 'hostlist' is a space separated list of hostnames that can access the
directory. For example
/usr -ro foo bar
/etc
/Applications
/User/gladys gladys
The client the uses a command like
/sbin/mount -t type [-rw] -o [options] server:directory mount_point
where 'type' is 'nfs', 'server' the name of the server, 'directory' the
server directory mounted, and 'mount_point' the client mount point. See
'man mount' for details.
I haven't tried the above, but it would be nice to know if it works on Mac OS X.
Hans Aberg
This will give you some hints on NFS. Post back your questions.

Case with a lanyard?

I'd like to get a case with a lanyard. I'm going on vacation, and will be taking lots of photos. I have this feeling that it'd be easy to drop while holding it in camera mode, so I'd appreciate the extra safety of a lanyard around my wrist. I couldn't find anything online

I'm hoping someone will come out with one that is ideal for the video camera. Maybe with a lanyard, a tripod fitting, a handle that puts the record button in good proximity to my finger or thumb, etc.
I'd hate to have to buy an actual video camera just for these features.
