    Looking for a Memory Stick Pro Duo card. Does NOT have to be working. Saw a tip to use it as a shim for fixing an old Thinkpad problem with the graphics card. So, just something you'd probably toss because it's old or memory is too small for use today. Thanks!

    Free Windows Vista Business & Office Professional 2007 ?

    I found my second notice in my e-mail box about a week ago. I never saw the first one. After filling out the forums and faxing them in, it showed up today...about a week later. Little disappointed in the NFR...are trades considered legit?

    Mystery beeping - what's not cooling

    Thank you, Mr. Obvious. :D Seriously, I know the rear fan is dead. Just wondering if the fan in the power supply might be dying as well and if I need to replace it. If I'm going to have to order something, I'd rather order everything I need.

    Mystery beeping - what's not cooling

    Thanks! How do I know that the "normal fan speed" should be? I did hit "default" and it's quit beeping for now. I just wanted to be sure I'm not screwing something up! I think the PWR FAN setting was down in the 1300 range for some reason, but when I hit default, it jumped back up to 1467 for...

    Mystery beeping - what's not cooling

    I have an Antec Sonata case, Abit NF7-S Rev. 2 mobo, and a 2800+ Athlon XP. Right now, my CPU fan is the stock that came with the Athlon. My Northbridge fan failed a while back and I switched it for a Zalman heatsink for noise reasons. I've noticed my original Antec 120mm fan in the back quit...

    Need some help with a PDA choice

    You want my pda...you want my pda for sale...trying some subliminal messaging here. :) In the Pocket PC camp, the ipaq 4150 might be in your price range used and has a nice small form factor with builtin wifi; (unfortunately, mine for sale..the 5455) is not exactly tiny. I don't have a lot...

    Good point. Wonder if there's any better open source program out there to do this?

    How to resize/re-create partition without erasing data?

    Just found a great answer on DL.tv. Check out GParted LiveCD. It's free, you can move partitions around and does NOT destroy your data.

    Website for creating online surveys? (or software?)

    I've been looking for one too. I ran across this site: http://www.go2poll.com/, but don't know anything about them.

    Monster Cable vs Acoustic Research Optical Toslink

    Though it's not the 65% mentioned above, several Radio Shacks are going out of business. When I looked in over the weekend, the Monster stuff is 50% off retail. I'm hoping it will go lower. :)

    Anyone ever EBay anything "local pickup only?"

    Whoops! I was searching for a car sub for friend and didn't check the date. :o

    Anyone ever EBay anything "local pickup only?"

    I bought a headunit, sub with amp attached from a fellow anandtech-er. I think shipping using usps was around $40ish or so. I just finished the clean install today after going ghetto for a few weeks. A good, sturdy box, lots of peanuts and bubblewrap and you should be covered.

    Need quiet cooler for NF7-S Rev. 2

    Thanks! I already had to replace my Northbridge fan...that one died disappointingly quick. I replaced it with a Zalman heatsink version and all seems to be fine. I'm really leaning toward the Thermalright Pyrokinetic mentioned.
