    Fan controller without LEDs?

    I've been looking at fan controllers for my next build, but so far every unit I've found has had lights that range from mildly annoying to ridiculous. The main two I'm looking at right now are a couple of 6-channel units from Lamptron and Zalman. I'd prefer to stick with 6-channel, but I...

    Trying to find an EasyOut/screw extractor

    I need to dismantle a few things which were assembled with, as the title says, these short little screws that have a 3/32 Allen head on them. This screw (#4BF-153 on this page) is the closest thing I can find to the ones I need to pull. The head is the same shape, but I think the threading...

    D-Link DSL-2320B on Qwest

    Between its failure to play nice with a router and its need to be rebooted if I run torrents for more than 2 hours, I've long since tired of the little POS Actiontec GT701 that Qwest sells. The best candidate I've been able to find on Newegg is the aforementioned D-Link, but I'm not finding...

    Anybody willing to cap a show and send it to me?

    Title & summary say most of it, looking for somebody to capture tomorrow's Judge Joe Brown because I know one of the participants. The cases are "squabbling roommates" and "vehicular damage via street fight," I know one of the roommates. I do have a DVR (Motorola DCT6416 III) from my cable...

    Pick the next game I play!

    Yes, I am bored enough to post this but not quite bored enough to pick a game and start it tonight. Finished Skies of Arcadia: Legends last night. If you own a gamecube and don't own Arcadia, you should be ashamed of yourself.

    Memo to GlobalComputer.com

    All 3 of my credit cards work. STOP REFUSING MY MONEY YOU ASSMONGERS! (Yes, I know they're the same company as TigerDirect. I'm trying to order an OEM XP Pro and they're the only place that says up front "We'll throw in a junk cable to meet the hardware requirement...

    Pick my next cellphone!

    I am currently serviced by, but no longer under contract to, Cellular One/Western Wireless, the group that is being acquired by Alltel. I have had 0 problems with CellOne in 3.5 years, and don't really anticipate any with Alltel. For the first two years of college, all the people I knew with...

    Free E-Book

    Yes, the same guy that does Dilbert. He published this a few years ago and is now making the e-book version available for free. His reasoning: Synopsis: And of course, the link

    HSF Compatibility question

    Anybody tried attaching Swiftech's MCX462-V to GigaByte's GA-7N400S? I need better cooling and I'm almost sure that HS would fit, except for the one capacitor right near the top-left corner of the ZIF socket. (And no, I don't want to watercool. Maybe on the next system, but I don't feel...

    Trying to find alternate version of image

    This spring (or maybe early summer) one of the desktop threads here had both this image and a 1600x1200 version. I've tried searching both here and places like image.google.com, but I can't track the 16x12 down. Anybody still got it?

    Case with sideways mounting harddrives

    This is the only example I can find right now of what I mean. I'm willing to take the greater convenience in reaching connections over the slight decrease in mounting convenience. Anybody know some inexpensive manufacturers or model numbers off-hand?

    Mobo Recommendation

    I'm going to be building two seperate systems in the next couple of weeks, and I'm leaning towards putting the same motherboard and processor (Barton 2500+ from NewEgg) in both. Other parts will likely be different, as one is for a somewhat inexperienced user who will mostly be doing web...
