SSD adapter that would work with Antec drive tray

What I am looking for is the blue piece in the diagram for the bottom mount. All adapters I could find locally & quick search online are the side-rail mount types. Probably zip-tie/velcro would work. Thanks.

SSD adapter that would work with Antec drive tray

I want to put a laptop SSD in a desktop system as a boot drive. Common 2.5-to-3.5 adapters I see are the side-rail type. I need a such adapter that can be mounted from the bottom with this drive tray...

Samsung 840 Pro or 840? 256 or 512?

I got the 500GB 840 just a month ago for around $330 to replace a hard drive drive in a Mac Mini. 240GB drive would have been ok if I moved the bootcamp partition, but even at that price it was pretty hard to resist the temptation to go bigger. I will probably move the bootcamp partition to...

More OCZ bad news?

I have been using a 120GB Vertex2 3.5 SSD as a boot drive for about 1.5 years without any issues. Lately my system would not recognize the drive on boot. I can get the system to eventually boot if I disconnect the power to the SSD, then wait a few minutes before reconnecting the cables. I...

[Retired] The LCD Thread

Well, Newegg & Buy.com can't seem to keep DS-263N in stock , so I went with option #2, the refurb Soyo. It is cheap enough that if I ended up with a lemon, I would not feel so bad about it. As I said, it is a temporary HTPC monitor till I get a large LCD TV. For my Gateway dilemma, it sounds...

[Retired] The LCD Thread

I spent the last several days reading over 40 pages of this thread since I am looking for a new LCD to replace a 19" CRT monitor for a HTPC. This will actually be a temporary replacement until I get a > 50 " LCD TV for the HTPC. Here are my choices: 1. DS-263N -- looks like a really nice...

What online stores are good source of cat6 patch cables

Both deepsurplus & monoprice seem to offer good price. I think I will choose deepsurplus since I need 10 ft patch cables in a few places instead of 7 ft. Thanks for the links.

Best way to extend wi-fi throughout my house?

Your wireless access point may have an detachable antennae to allow you to put a higher powered external antennae. I use Netgear WGPS606 at the opposite end of my place to hook up Tivo & HTPC. The unit is actually promoted as a print server, but it seems to work just fine as an inexpensive...

AMD Sempron Processor 3100+ & ECS NFORCE3-A Motherboard for $80 at Outpost.com

I was able to POST after clearing the CMOS to get back into my BIOS. After verifying the settings in the BIOS (everything set to default or auto), also verified that POST message about the CPU & RAM is correct. So far so good. I tried to boot the system, it bluescreened almost immediately...

AMD Sempron Processor 3100+ & ECS NFORCE3-A Motherboard for $80 at Outpost.com

My system ran for more than 8 months pretty much continuously as my HTPC. I noticed that system had locked up earlier this week. I could not soft reboot. So I had to kill power to the machine to reboot. It would not get past POST. I am about to open the case to check things over & clear the...

AMD Sempron Processor 3100+ & ECS NFORCE3-A Motherboard for $80 at Outpost.com

Wow, I am surprised to see this thread is still going. I guess it is because of the almost-weekly combo deal now down to $70. My two home systems both based on ECS MBs are running almost non-stop since I put them together. I am running them at 240 FSB so I don't need to bump up the vcore...
