    running a 6800 GT in a Shuttle

    well, I just installed my PNY 6800 GT in my SB75G2 and she handles like a dream. the card is running at 420/1100 on my system's 250W power supply without any problems so this stuff about people needing 350W power supplies (and above) is bunk. here's a pic... anyways..... I'm happy with...

    who's running the Audigy 2 ZS card?

    Okay, I just came into a pretty nice deal on an Audigy 2 ZS so I've decided to retire my TBSC card. So, I'm wondering if I can just go to Creative's site and D/L their drivers (and patches or what not) and avoid sticking in the CD that came with the card altogether. I say that because I know...

    Okay, St@ples has this AT&T 2.4GHz cordless phone for like $39 with a $30 MIR effective 5/9. so you then use a $10 off $40 coupon making it FAR ('cept for the sales tax paid on $29 or so. not bad for a pretty decent looking phone. by the way, deal ripped from FW.

    my latest dive into the SFF arena. (Shuttle 20th Anniversary)

    Well, I finally took the plunge and bought a Shuttle XPC 20th Anniversary system and I must say I'm quite happy so far. Shuttle pic 1 here's a shot of her running rock solid at 3.4Ghz. now, I do realize that a meager 600Mhz O/C isnt nothing to break a swear over, I think its worth noting...

    going to London next week, what kind of A/C adaptor do I need?

    okay, this is the very first time I've left the U.S. and I have no clue as to how I'm going to power my "take-a-long" things like my camera's battery charger, electric shaver and so on. both of these things can run on 220V so that I'm not worried about. so my question is, I do know that they...
