Looking for the smallest possible form factor to achieve the power I currently have
Recent Questions - Super User | 7 Feb 2012, 7:48 pm
I just recently went from a monster Dell XPS laptop back to a desktop. I got a MicroATX case with a handle that I quite like, but it's not as mobile as I'd like. I have desktop setups at my house and my office for work, and a friends house for when I game. I miss the portability of my notebook, but I need the power of my desktop.
What I'm looking for is a Mini ITX board with the same chipset and features ( I need RAID0 for my SSDs and I want TRIM support when the new SRT drivers are released. I also need USB 3.0). I would like the smallest case possible to fit the 7970 as well.
I know I can't keep the Noctua, and I honestly don't care. I would rather pick up one of the CPU water cooling units from Cooler Master (but which one?).
So there is my conundrum. Please help.
Recording drive constraint in Autodesk Inventor 2008 produces black screen
Recent Questions - Super User | 7 Feb 2012, 7:41 pm
Recording a drive constraint does produce a valid video file (wmv or avi) of the correct duration, but it only shows a black screen. Since the file size is very small, this is probably a problem with inventor and not with the media player. Does anyone have experience with this?

Why does 7-zip.exe return "Access is denied" with these arguments/parameters?
Recent Questions - Super User | 7 Feb 2012, 7:16 pm
In a batch file:
START "7-zip" /D "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\" "7z.exe" a -o testArchive F:\test
Or, alone on the cmd as:
7z.exe a -o testArc C:users\user\desktop\test
returns "Access is denied". I would expect it to run 7-zip with the specified parameters. Why doesn't it?
How to stop mplayer from moving mouse pointer?
Recent Questions - Super User | 7 Feb 2012, 7:14 pm
I noticed that mplayer moves mouse cursor every 10 seconds:
ltrace -e '!read,select,vsnprintf,ioctl,XSync,XShmPutImage,malloc,memcpy,free,XNextEvent,XPending,sws_scale_ordered,pp_postprocess,avcodec_decode_video,strcmp,gettimeofday,nanosleep' -p `pidof mplayer`XWarpPointer(0x8ce9480, 0x1800002, 0, 0, 0) = 1XWarpPointer(0x8ce9480, 0x1800002, 0, 0, 0) = 1...Probably it is to trick possible screensaver. There are no -stop-xscreensaver or mouse-related options speicfied.
How to turn off such behaviour?
Removing scroll bar on videos on Facebook
Recent Questions - Super User | 7 Feb 2012, 7:02 pm
I have a problem on my laptop when I try to view videos on Facebook. Whenever I click on a video to start it, iframe expands but not enough to cater the video and scroll bars appear.
There is a way to fix it by changing HTML i.e. by adding scrolling="no" to the iframe element. I tried it with FireBug and it works great, the problem is, of course, the fact that it isn't permanent. That's why I tried a Stylish addon for Firefox but I believe it can only change CSS of a page.
Is there any other addon that can automatically add a scrolling parameter to every iframe on facebook page?
Chrome Kiosk-mode in OS X Lion allows top menu bar?
Recent Questions - Super User | 7 Feb 2012, 6:57 pm
Using the information here, I was able to place Chrome into Kiosk mode on OSX Snow Leopard. However, in Lion it appears to work but if you move the mouse cursor to the top of the screen, the menu bar and address bar appear, which eliminates the "kiosk mode" function.
I'd like to stay in kiosk mode all of the time, how can I obtain this functionality?
Do integrated speakers exist?
Recent Questions - Super User | 7 Feb 2012, 6:43 pm
This is probably way off-topic, but do integrated pc speakers (not the "beep" kind..) exist for desktop PC's?
I'm building a "mobile" box, and the only cables I need so far are power and monitor output. I also got a headset but I've never been a fan, so I wondered if I can put the speakers inside the case, maybe on a drive bay?
I can probably use some old speakers and pull it off messing with some cables, but I was looking for a neat solution.
Any ideas?
