    Mac Pro case switch?

    OK, good deal, I'm hoping the screw holes are in the standard places. All I meant by running OSX on x86 architecture was that I hoped it was legally allowable ;) .

    Mac Pro case switch?

    I'm on the market to purchase a Mac Pro so that I can run some OSX-specific apps. The problem is, the damn case is too basic. I would prefer to have some 5.25" slots so that I can mount a SATA backplane for easy access to hard drives. And I would like it to be rack-mountable. Among other...

    Looking for a backpack...

    Yeah, no. Not enough padding for any of the equipment being put in. No one knows of a specific hard drive backpack, or even soft case? Help!

    Looking for a backpack...

    I'm looking for something to hold both a laptop and two external hard drives, without the hard drives being beside each other... meaning that they would be above and below each other, but still sitting on their sides. There don't seem to be any bags that have a higher compartment large enough...

    Computer not booting...

    Tried with RAM and without. At this time, I'm thinking the mobo is dead, too.

    Computer not booting...

    Yes, inspected for bad caps, couldn't find any. I suppose I'll go over them again, but I don't think I missed anything.

    Computer not booting...

    I'm trying to fix my girlfriend's computer, a pre-built eMachines something or other. It was purchased around 2.5 years ago. Last week, the dang thing just stopped booting. Completely. I get a light on the mobo when plugged in, but cannot get even a fan to spin up. The mobo's an Intel...

    How are these monitors

    You'll LOSE no more than a half inch if you go to a 19" WS from a 17" non-WS...It's going from 19" non-WS to 19" WS that you will notice a vertical space loss...

    How are these monitors

    You will lose some vertical, yes...A 19" WS is basically the same height as a 17" non-WS... but it's a widescreen ;)...

    Looking for some advice on external HDs...

    No suggestions? How about alternatives to Glyph, with the same functionality...

    How are these monitors

    No friggin way, the westinghouse will be $200? That being said, I don't know how they are for games, but with a response time of 5ms (WH) and 2ms (SS), you should be fine.

    Looking for some advice on external HDs...

    So here's my situation: I have a Pro Tools setup at my house, and also use several others at the university I work for. It's a pain to have to re-plug every time I port my external HDs to and from the two locations. I also want to cut down on cable clutter at home. What I'm looking for is...

    Fry's (Outpost.com) not selling WD internals...

    So I went onto Outpost.com a few months ago to order up some more Western Digital hard drives, since I had previously gotten a few 160GB SATAs for $55 each, shipped. I noticed that they weren't selling any WD internals at the time, save Raptors. Thought to myself, "OK, they're just out of stock...
