    Toshiba laptop RAM upgrade

    I was wondering if anybody could point me towards a 2x2GB RAM kit that would function with a Toshiba Satellite X205-S9800; I know the A215-S5802 is finnicky with some. My model has an Intel Mobile GM965 chipset, if that matters.

    Cooler Master PSU's?

    I'm looking for a PSU for a new PC I'm building, and I want a PSU from 400-450 watts, in case there's some more power-hungry things I want to upgrade to in the future. I was looking at the COOLER MASTER Real Power RS-450-ACLY, because I know CM is good for cooling and cases (the build has a...

    Why not simply modify a freezer/refridgerator?

    Well, why hasn't anyone (that I'm aware of) tried doing this? It sounds reasonable to me (although I have zilch in professional knowledge).
