    Need external, self functional, VGA capture device

    I could rig something up on the bench probably to do splitting, but how do I get the capture onto the other PC since the VGA splitter is technically running off the PC-Appliance I have no access to? The KVM switch isn't a bad idea...that would work. Any solution other than taking photos of...

    Need external, self functional, VGA capture device

    Thank you... I found those too. The problem is that I can't have ANY software that needs to touch the originating system. I have no access to the OS layer at all -- it's a very specific Linux distribution in the form of an appliance. I was hoping I could find something that went like...

    Anyone feel like speccing a PC for me?

    Thank you for the suggestions. I'm looking for a smaller case, that I can still fit a good fullsized power supply in with good air cooling. I currently have the older Antec P160 (I think), and I loved it, but it's ginormous...

    Anyone feel like speccing a PC for me?

    Have monitor, speakers, mouse, DVD-RW, keyboard, OS and wireless NIC already. Looking to spend no more than 1500. The heaviest usage it sees is gaming, but I also do graphic work/website design/media editing and need a fair bit of hard drive space with RAID 1. Smaller and stylish is good...

    Detroit

    BWAH!! This amuses me greatly. Having driven rush hour in Detroit for years, I can attest, speed limits are a suggestion and one that's universally ignored. Police don't pull anyone over unless there's 3 cars for backup and...yeah. That being said, I have very little problems driving in...
