    Howdy folks, I live in Brazil, and over here the latest cards that come out in the US are super expensive since import taxes are very high (at least 2x the price you get them there). What happens is we get graphics cards smuggled into the country from Paraguai. Go figure. Anyway, I'm a...

    120 mm Sunnon Fan - wiring doubts

    I bought two 120 mm sleeve bearing 110/220V AC fan from Sunnon that should be installed on top of a 24U rack. Racks normally have these extractor fans to dissipate the heat buildup. They are not 12V-DC fans like the ones we install inside our home PC's, as generally high power fans come in AC...

    How do I make my own keypad?

    I recently acquired a Kinesis keyboard, which, btw, kicks butt Kinesis Corp.. Howerver, this keyboard doesn't have a separate keypad. It works like a laptop in the sense that you have to press a num-lock alike key to be able to use the keypad. I personally hate this, and would like to use a...

    I needed to install the SR1 because printing relationships under Access was giving me problems. I can print the relationships now, but every now and then when I load an office app, such as word, or access, or anything else, it just shuts itself down for no good reason after a while! I'm...
