Need of the good, the bad and the ugly on the desktop E9150T

For those of you who bought a desktop computer HP E9150T can you please share the pro and con with me?

I've waited long to upgrade my old built generic XP desktop and I'm looking at HP E9150T and the Dell Studio XPS as spare parts.  Although the E9150T has more memory on their graphics card Dell is currently $150 cheaper with hardware quite comperable.  My problem with the Dell Studio XPS is reported that periodically the system overheats causing the fan to kick at such a high SPEED that users say it sounds like an airplane taking off.  Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be that a customer consumer out there about the E9150T, so I don't know what he expected and wants to carefully weigh my options until I went to bed a lot.

In addition to the problem with the fan, I would like to know anything else, you can share with me regarding the system and support by HP.  Note that I am not a serious gamer and I don't think I have overtax my system with everything I do.  I'm really looking for a system that will meet my needs for a long time.

Here's a question a little.  All my previous systems were built generically, but I don't have one of them built myself.  I received answers on other forums who say that it is better to stay generic than buying and a Dell or HP even if it is custom built to specifications as the two in question would be.  So my question is this...  What you give up by buying a unit like these two from Dell or HP?  I've heard stories about parties are of lower quality than what you can buy in a generic way, I've heard of lack of scalability or system being owner and will use only parts provided by themselves and I heard that HP and Dell purchase stripped of motherboards from generics like ASUS and paralyze the bios in them.  My concern with HP or Dell, is that I would get a reliable system of quality with good quality parts.  I have never overclocked one of my existing systems and the only real reason why I never bought a HP is before I could not find a system "off the shelf" that met all my criteria in the way form or version of the operating system installed.  With the e9150t of HP and Dell XPS I get little close to what I have ordered a generic system.  I saw a system similar to the e9150t who had other CPUS in them and they all seem nice and seems quiet but I think I might bother some people if I start the case of cracking and search.  Any idea would be appreciated.

It is best to avoid 1st generation X 58 (high-end) Board of Directors of a big box-manufacturer.

1. lack of refinement.  This is a good market version a Committee of Asus OEM.  Some early production bugs are resolved with BIOS updated frequently if you have a retail Council.  A Committee of OEM HP can get one or two updates.  There is no ideal Board, but 1st generation tips are still buggy.  BIOS frequently update helps, but does not eliminate the frustration factor if you are affected by the bug.

2. management of poor fan / thermal with a Committee of OEM.  You can adjust the fan speed and the type of fan (-3 or 4-pin PWM) with an enthusiastic Committee.  A quality Retail Council has better cooling on the circuit of PWM chipset (greater stability to high temperature of case).

3. limitation of output power from the PSU OEM.  Better nutrition is capable of driving two high range GPU.

4. no oveclocking ability.  I7 920 D0 entry level should be able to operate at 4.0 GHz with a detail of good advice and a CPU cooler.  It is a huge boost in performance compared to 2.66 GHz stock speed (time of Super Pi 1 M 9 seconds @ 4.0 GHz vs 16 seconds @ 2 .66GHz).

5 pre-installed crapware.

6. no choice of OS.  Vista is dead.  The future is W7 SP1 (2nd quarter 2010) If you must have the latest OS.  I prefer Windows XP Pro 32 or 64-bit.  It is widely compatible with programs in May because of his age.  It is significantly faster than Vista or W7.  He joined no digital rights management.

7. poor implementation of the Portable Media Drive.  It is a USB 2.0 removable drive, whose speed is capped at USB 2.0 real world of 23 MB/s speed.  USB 2.0 is a technology for ten years.  A high-end removable player should be based on the eSATA, allowing you to transfer data at the speed of the hard drive (currently 60 MB/s to 110 MB/s).  It's 3 x the speed of USB 2.0.

8 questionable clientele with the manufacturer of big box (work with a monkey phone level 1st reading of the guide by script).  A local custom Builder should know that the PC inside and out and give advice on the future upgrade.

9. lower case ventilation.  A good custom case (Antec 300) has four 120mm fans and a 140mm fan.  If you set the speed of the fan on the motherboard at 1200 rpm, the platform will be whisper quiet even at full load.  There is a fan directly in front of the hard drive to maintain external work under 40 ° C in the warmest room.

There is always something new and better each month in the calculation of the PC.  You can assemble the most stable and oriented platform value based on knowledge today.  These large PC were designed months ago.

It is difficult to compete with the PC to large areas in the range of $500 of overtime because of the fixed cost of work.  The big boys can buy components cheap with a huge volume discount.

Once you break the barrier of $1,000, then the advantage swings to the custom test.  The big leagues at the price of these platforms with extra fat.  HP can still make $ on a platform i 920 even with a discount of $400 - $500 off the price of the web.  Most of the custom builders will not charge you additional labor for an expensive drilling rig (unless you specify the cooling water).  As a result, thi $300 "discount" can be used to buy a best MB, PSU, HDD and GPU.  Also note that all the components of quality PC come with 3 year warranty frm.  This is much longer than the standard 1 year at HP.

You never have to deal with a custom platform.  You want a disk Western Digital Carvia Black 7200 RPM 640GO/32 MB cache?  No problem.  You want an overclockee platform with no more noise 30dBA @ 100% CPU load (inaudible in a silent room)?  No problem.  Try this with DELL, HP or any manufacturer of big box.

Personally, I would not spend $ on an i7 920 drilling rig.  Unless you are a pro video editor or a super - duper Hard Core than Gamer, a custom bicoeur overclockee Intel platform would be my 1st choice.  For about $600, you get a 4.0 GHz overclocked CPU that could calculate the number Pi to the digits of 1 M in 13 seconds.  A stock HP 920 i7 handles this task in 17 seconds.

Put the $ saved in a savings account.  Expect that your 4.0 GHz dual core CPU becomes the bottleneck before you upgrade the MB, CPU and RAM (maybe 3-4 years).  When you do that, you'll probably looking at a 6-8 CPU core.  Scalability a rig is a fool's game.  Buy only what you need today.  Go with eSATA if you need external storage.  USB 2.0 is only suitable for the smallest USB.

  • Advice needed on the desktop Inspiron 3650

    Hello world

    I need to buy a new desktop computer and I had a look at the new Inspiron 3650.

    It is in my budget and seems to have pretty decent specifications for what I need, I'd go for the model i3 with 8 GB of RAM at £349. I would like to know if this would be good for the upgrade in the near future. I would like to add a graphics card dedicated, a pretty cheap, less than 70 pounds, nothing complicated and maybe upgrade the processor at any given time. Do you think that this office would be appropriate?

    I mainly use for browsing web, web design and development work so I'll use things like dreamweaver, photoshop, etc., maybe some video basic editing as well, I don't use it for games. My budget is only £450, but I might go to 500 books to a boost if you can recommend anything else, so it comes with a monitor.

    Thank you.

  • DVD how much we need for the files backup with backup and restore program?

    Hello how are you?
    DVD how much we need for the files backup with backup and restore program? Y at - it large differences in the time and space between write backups on DVD and external hard drive?

    I do not understand your question.  Asked how the space has been used on your C: drive and you answered 60 GB.  Now you say your PARTITION C: is 60 GB with only 20 GB used?  I really don't understand what you're so confused.  It's simple arithmetic grade 3rd.  What is space you USED on the C: drive, that multiply by 0.7 to obtain the amount of space will be used on your backup disk after compression.  Divide this number by 4.7 and round.  That's how many DVDs you'll need if you insist on the use of DVDs for backup.  Then

    (1) If you are using 60 GB, the answer is (60 x.7) / 4.7 = 8.936.  I rounded up to 9 and added 1 just to be sure.

    (2) If you use only 20 GB, the answer is (20 x.7) / 4.7 = 2.97 rounded up to 3.  Add 1 and get 4.

    If you use only 20 GB, I am very surprised, because almost any important installation of Windows 7 is going to take more than 20 GB.

    All of this assumes that you do NOT use the Windows backup and restore program, but one that I recommended.  When I used the windows one, the results were several times the space that I used on my C: partition.

    Good luck.

  • Is the indicator parallel use / * + PARALLEL * / good or bad?

    Hello

    I am facing problem in the use of / * + PARALLEL * / hint in SQL Query took his time to run.

    Parallel Hint degrades performance?

    The FCT_TABLE Table is to have clause PARALLEL (DEGREE by DEFAULT DEFAULT INSTANCES).

    We use the suspicion parallel as SELECT / * + PARALLEL (FCT_TABLE 2)

    Any help will be necessary for me.

    Thanks and greetings

    Re: Using parallel Hint / * + PARALLEL * / good or bad?

    Bad news. (in production systems)

    Why? You, when you code this SQL statement with this point in development, have absolutely no idea of what the production will be like in a month. No idea what data will be. What another charging process will run. Or what will be the version of Oracle and hardware will look like.

    Yet, by coding this suspicion in the production of SQL, you claim you know. And not only that, you claim that you are in a position higher than the CBO to make an informed decision on whether to run SQL in parallel. You declare that production DBA knows his work and how to improve performance, and you have decided for them that the SQL should be run in parallel.

    Be very careful with advice in the code that lands in the production. Generally these efforts will simply cause more problems to solve problems.

    So why the parallel indicator then exist if it is so "+ bad +"?

    Very rarely (if ever) there are absolutes in software engineering. And there are exceptions where this indication can be extremely useful. But it's like a hammer in a Toolbox. You use it on the odd nail. You don't use every day to drive screws because the screwdriver is "+ hard +" to use.

  • Record of creating file batch but the need to create a shortcut on the desktop and remove shortcut a day of age

    Hi dear I have not much experience in batch file writing but forums I dig a code and try to shape according to my requirments but after beating head couldn't get the correct result comes in front of you people help me please. file code of my baby

    using this code, it create a folder and a file on the desktop as well, but is not a shortcut, it is just a file by name as the file Tempbackup.
    Basically, I want like this
    (1) I want to create the shortcut from the folder on the desktop of the file created in the folder Tempbackup
    (2) this file beats on execution will also remove old one day from the desktop shortcut
    so when I see this file to run. n IT run create the file in the specified folder, but no shortcut or create a shortcut without a path. When I click on the shortcut, it ask me how to open this file. so it's not a good shortcut or not a correct path.

    Hello

    Try these steps-
    Create the shortcut proposed (to cmd.exe/c start)
    Now, open properties such as proposed
    Add the full path in the 'Target' field with your own relative path and the app, for example
    %windir%\system32\CMD.exe /c start your_relpath\app.exe [your_args]

    That's all. However, doing so does not change the current working of the called program directory. If this is desired, then enter the following alternative:
    %windir%\system32\CMD.exe /c "cd your_relpath & start app.exe [your_args].

    The & is described as a command separator (see cmd /?). Note: Put something like '% CD%\your_relpath\' in the field ' start in ' doesn't do anything.

    You can try this as well-
    Create .bat file close record/yarn that you want to have the relative path
    Edit the file, and the file type: (as you want to open c:\bin\app.exe, and then place file beats in c:\run.bat)
    Departure bin\app.exe
    Save the run.bat file and double-click it to open it.
