For those of you who have the Dell computers with the front header, you can find out what those pins in the front are with a multimeter and a little research. First you'll want to unplug the ribbon cable so it's not in your way. If you can remove the circuit board from the front of the case...

I've been doing that for about 6 months now, and it has considerably cut down on the amount of unsolicited spam I get. It's also kind of funny to find out who's selling my e-mail address.

The only ones I have are the ones I printed out...hopefully they'll still be accepted when I make my trip to Best Buy to pick it all up.

I paid $65 for a dozen delivered to my gf on Friday.

As nice as that would be, it won't work. When a DVD Player sees DVD media, it's expecting DVD-Video. There may be some hacked firmware out there for some DVD players that allows them to read MP3 DVDs, but I haven't seen any. I have thought of another way to make a "DVD Audio" DVD, but I...

They're not exactly lying, they're just using funny math. HD manufacturers say 1 Gigabyte = 1,000 Megabytes, 1 Megabyte = 1,000 Kilobytes, 1 Kilobyte = 1,000 Bytes. So, when they say their drives are 120 Gigabytes, they're saying 1,200,000,000,000 Bytes. However, in the computer, 1 Gigabyte...

Bah, damn Intel and their exclusive list of eligible retail companies. I work for a retail store as a computer tech, explain the benefits of an Intel CPU on an Intel board to the many customers who ask, custom-build Intel-based systems every day, and let's not forget all the Intel Channel...

Sweet, the USB bracket and video card are exactly what I needed to finish building up this Soyo workstation for my brother. Thanks!

The 2MB cache drives (both OEM and Retail) manufactured before October 1st still have 3 years, even if they haven't been sold yet.

Was anyone else reminded of that Drew Carey episode where Drew wins the Batmobile when they saw this?

The last time I had an order problem with Dell, I got a similar e-mail...although it didn't say anything about replying with CC info: From: US_Outsource_CCOP@Dell.com 8/23/2002 (Order Placed on 8/23/2002) Thank you for shopping with Dell Computers. While processing your order, we were...

It says DVI right in the description here

I'm not sure if this even exists, but I'd like to find an external firewire controller that works for 3 3.5" devices.

Hmm, this could be useful. Can anyone tell me if it will work in the following scenario? When a call comes in, if it detects the fax tone, it hangs up. If it's a voice call, it rings through on all the handsets. If it will work like this, I may have to buy it for my parents. They moved...

It should've been in the confirmation e-mail you got after you submitted your request. The subject should be something like {PD-###} Help Desk Submission, where ### is your number. I'm 423.
