    Host PC: Asus A8V deluxe 4gb ram AMD 64 3500+ onboard asus audio GeForce 7600 GT Yes, quite an old system. I'd like to be able to play GTA4 and Bad Company 2, even on middle of the road settings, without building an entirely new system. Is there an 8x AGP graphics card I can put...

    Thrashed headset cord.. Self replace?

    Depends on the cable. You can patch it back together with the original cord unless it's that horrible fiberized stuff. Otherwise, you can still do it with another headphone cord and some soldering / disassembly skills.

    What are the neatest 5.25" bay gadgets?

    I'm trying to find a 5.25" lockbox that I can shoehorn into the front of my case, and set up a couple false fronted DVD drive faceplates to cover it. The best would be having it be 2 bays high, with a keypad behind one of the drive doors, which would make the whole thing slide out like a drawer...

    What are the neatest 5.25" bay gadgets?

    I have a thermaltake xaser 3 supertower and it had plenty of bays already. I'm thinking of upgrading to an even more monolithic TT product if possible, one with maybe 6 or 7 bays on the outside. Already I've seen a sd card reader array (so handy!) a toaster and a cupholder + cigarette lighter...

    Trying to find if this PHP webapp exists

    I don't really want to run a blog, or twitter (ew), but I'd like to have a simple PHP page that I can update with what I'm working on, without an archive. Example: "Bob is working on a client's proposal." That's it. Just simple data. I could write this myself but my ability in PHP is...

    Girl gets kicked out of mall for wearing a dress she got there the day before

    She has a speech impediment. For some reason, I find that incredibly hot. I blame this on watching Jericho and the first few episodes of Weeds.

    Wiring up dishwasher, dented electrical part... am I making a mistake?

    This is the forum with the smartest people I know, so I'm asking here. I bought a dishwasher on clearance at Lowes. Saved a couple hundred bucks. The bottom of the door got bent on the way back when it fell over, c'est la vie. I don't really give a damn, I can straighten it out with a rubber...

    Is anyone familiar with advanced greasemonkeying?

    (Firefox plugin, allows you to modify displayed elements) I've gotten around to modifying the nuts and bolts of websites I frequent (via platypus) so they are more readily customized, but I'm not that good with javascript in general. There's a website I want to register on that limits...

    Get a Toshiba Satellite M105-S3074?

    It's a display model at Staples and is marked down to $750. With tax it'll come to 810. I know this model was new in June. I really like the size. I could just get the $600 Acer 5050 at Wal-Mart ($650 with tax) but the difference isn't really that big in price.. one is big, the other is nice...

    Compact fileserver

    The idea is that it can be securely locked away (in a safe, perhaps) but still accessed. If I want it cut off, I just cut the power to the access point.

    Recomend me a cheap laptop solution

    How cheap can you go? I want a laptop that comes with a wifi card (or can have one added) that will run XP or ME and cost less than $400. Preferably in the $200-300 range.. yes it could be a clunker as long as it runs.

    budget comp for 350$ your thoughts?

    I'm in the same boat, I'd like to hook a friend up with a cheap but better computer (he's on a 233mhz.. shudder shudder gawd) for ebay, web use, music, etc. I'd like to do it cheap, like this guy, same price range. Maybe he should just go the Dell route?
