    My attempt @ Cable Management **UPDATED 7/2**

    If you're into it enough, you can turn your hard drive around and route the power from the back to the front all the way around and you can wrap the sata under the mobo and have it come around (requires plate cutting). You could also route the main mobo just under the edge of the board to the...

    Purenote audio cables 50% sale ends 5/31/06

    Exactly, for a well made, well shielded, high guage cable (this bluejeans cable for an honest, affordable, and high quality company). You shouldn't have to pay much and the preformance should be the same whether you have a $10000 sunfire or otherwise. The real science goes to prove that. Plus...

    Purenote audio cables 50% sale ends 5/31/06

    Don't take this as thread crapping, but these types of cables are snake oil at even half the price. Anybody buying this crap is seriously doing themselves a severe disservice to their wallet. What it comes down to is you will not be able to tell the difference in a double blind test to any well...

    Which updates to be applied to dapper drake beta 2 ?

    It should automatically choose which updates are appropriate for your system. The package manager will solve all dependencies for you. They don't rebundle the ISO everytime one little update comes out so there are many between releases. Just let it download and fix them for you.

    GNOME vs. KDE

    I <3 gnome. Mainly because of the attractiveness of the interface. I am a sucker for a clean environment, aestheticly pleasing skins and a slim down software set. If I really need it I can install whatever I need from whereever I want.

    Two Linksys - possible repeater setup?

    You can setup network repeating with the sveasoft firmware. Since you ahve a subscription you can ask for help, too. Google for, "the individual" and you'll learn why what sveasoft did was against the GPL... Anyway, you can also try DDWRT firmware. Which has more features, newer version...

    Frys: ECS nF3-A s754 mb & boxed Sempron 2800 $69.99

    If I remember correctly, I don't believe that's true. There are some nf3 939 boards. I know the sn95g5 shuttle for sure is nf3+939.

    Which Linux Distro to get?

    Easy is nice, but I learned the most from doing Gentoo. Either printing the guide or having a second computer on hand is really good. You learn commands, some scripting, and how the system is put together a lot better. Basically, you're forced to learn, just to install it.

    CAT SDAT LEB-404 Hi-Fi Floor Standing Speaker Pair

    I'm not threadcrapping here, I just want people to be informed. I did a little research on them. CAT and SDAT are two practically no name companies that reportedly make pretty shoddy speakers thare are overpriced. The overstock prices aren't that bad, but the speakers really aren't much...

    How much stuff can I put in a shuttle sn25p?

    Raptors in RAID 0 is totally overkill, you won't notice the difference and it's a waste of money and decrease reliability. You are increasing your heat and power consumption and can cause system instability bigtime. I've heard many people run 1xraptor, 1xstorage, 7800gtx, X2, 2gb, etc on the...

    Sony VAIO 40GB Color Screened MP3 Player with Remote Control and Dock for $249

    HERE'S THE SCOOP. With the new firmware update, it can read, ogg, mp3, wma and the like WITHOUT CONVERSION. It is as simple to use as dragging and dropping folders and files on a little box and it lists progress. I have one right now and it's excellent. - The display and interface are...

    why buy a shuttle xpc (sn25p specifically)

    Not if you want a quality case. Think of eges, weight, acoustics. If you're buying cheap crap that won't last long and you can just throw away, sure a $50 case gets the job done. Bah.

    why buy a shuttle xpc (sn25p specifically)

    You're paying for more than just the hardware with the shuttle. You're paying for excellent build quality, a great quality PSU, portability, silence, space saving, a relatively high end air cooler, all in the size of something much more powerful.

    Speakers vs headphones

    Search refurbished sennheiser on amazon and the hd-600s and hd-590s are an excellent bargain for some really excellent headphones. Edit: if you're just going to be gaming you can go even lower with the quality, but if Music is a big deal to you then I would go with something nicer.

    mouse pads

    Yeah, but what surface are you using that DOESN'T casue swerves? I mean, you have to put it on something. I use one of those giant fry's compusa mats which wear out quickly but are cheap. I sometimes put a ratpadz on top but I don't think the "smoothness" gained is realistic... I probably just...

    Easy Sound Dampening

    I suggest you get a fan controller and run them a bit quieter then put them on rubber grommets to reduce vibration. The akasa soundmate mats are pretty thin in terms of creating more heat they aren't bad. They are dense and reduce noise fairly well. -br0k3n

    Remind me again, why we're doing this

    However, there are a lot of people that buy sub quality components, not because of price, but because they think they are getting something good that is self built. Think about all the "viper" cases and bullcrap components that the average "self-builder" is buying when they go to Fry's or go to...
