spinynorman Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Is this "bluetac" "du scotch double face epais" ? Something wich can stick mirrors ? Bluetack is like sticky plasticine - pâte à modeler? We would call "du scotch double face epais" double-sided sticky tape/sellotape/cellotape/scotch tape...

mikeoneil Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 maconeil :Thanks for your answer. If i understand well, you are using your video card as output, wich is connecter to your monitor and to your tv. How do you display only the video on the TV ? What video card do you have ? Hi GodFlesh. I'm still experimenting with MythTV at the moment. My setup is a normal monitor sonnected to the DVI port of my PC (Shuttle SN41, onboard graphic chip). I then have a television connected to the PVR350 TV-out connector (actually using the composite and audio out on RCA leads). When I run MythFrontend the main application opens on the computer monitor. If I then select live TV or watch a recording, then the TV picture appears full screen on the television. I selected the option 'use PVRs tv-out' and chose /dev/video16. These settings are somewhere in the configure playback options page. So basically, I have the MythTV application on the monitor, then when I watch TV, this appears on the television (via the PVRs onboard MPEG decoder so very low load on CPU). HTH.

Gowator Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 <<bluetack>> Ill ask someone what its called in French if that helps... Its the stuff you can roll up (like plastique) and stretch etc. but it stays soft. It has excellent vibration attenuation.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodFlesh Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Ok, bluetac is mastic ! I understand now. Thank you all for your explanations. (spinynorman : i've been in southend, nice place ! the english "cote d'azur" :) Mikeoneil : thanks for the tip ! This looks interesting. I think i'd rather make my setup display on both tv and monitor, so that i can do everything on tv (chose the film...) if needed, and also have access to what music to play on tehe monitor... I've looked at the 2.6, but it seems not officially supported as of now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodFlesh Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Well, i spent around 2 weeks other there, in may or june (can't remember), and it didn't rain ! There are some typical wood construction on the see, that i have never seen elswhere... Back to my mythtv box, i put the zalman heatskin on my celeron 1200, fan less. So now my box is fanless except for the powersupply. I have a seagate barracuda 4, and the box is really quiet ! In fact i discovered that my monitors (iiyama 17' crt) were now making some noise ! May be flat panel monitors are really noiseless ? The temp of my cpu is pretty high at around 65 celcius degrees. I may have to put a quiet fan on it do keep things cool.

Gowator Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 GodFlesh..... OK you sound like your enjoying this .... Why put in a fan.... Ahem.... An aesthetic solution is to buy one of those little zen waterfalls !!! (have you seen em, pretty bowl and stones and a little pump!!! Now route the pump via the PC with some copper pipes over the heatsink and some conductive gunk in between.... et viola.... Cooled without a fan - el cheapo liquid cooled PC. Evaporation over the little waterfalls cools the water... just remember to keep toping it up!!! It makes a bit of noise but the water ismeant to be relaxing :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodFlesh Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 spinnynorman : yes this is exactly what i'm talking about. And there were some "casino" at the end... Gowator : I started with water cooling 6 years ago ! I event made some test wih a 172w pelletier cooler which was able to heat 100L of water in half an hour :) zen waterfalls are nice, but i think the most efficient way is to do like in a shower (it's the same on nuclear plant). Evaporating allows the temperature of the water received to be cooler than the air temperature ! But it's not as beautiful as a zen waterfall :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodFlesh Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 May be you already now, but i have found a very interesting hardware site : http://www.silentpcreview.com/ see "recommended" My hd is the best, my cpu is not bad, my heatskink is top, so now i have to work on diy suspended HDD and my fans...

sitor Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Godflesh, Thanks for the tip on the silent PC website. Very interesting articles. I think this will result again in a lot of reading before I really will be able to decide on the HW. Ciao, Sitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
