HOT? Smoking? then use Adult Gas Mask w/Filter

Gas Mask might be good for inhalants but there are poisons that will go right through your clothing. Plus, unless you are certified in donning a mask, it is pointless to own one. I have to wear a respirator daily for work and it takes a little more than just putting one on to have it work...

Nextel Deal

If you sign up with the 5,000 or 10,000 plan, make sure you request that they include long distance free. Those plans normally doesn't cover LD but they included it for me in order to keep me as a customer. We have had Nextel for a year and were due for a renewal so they were willing to make...

Dual Display, worth the extra $$? or just taking up desk space?

If you don't have a dual head vid card, can you still run to monitors in XP using two cards. One in AGP and one in PCI. I have an old ATI 7000 PCI sitting around and a 15" already on by desk not plugged in wasting space. That way I could watch or run side programs while surfing on the main...

suck or blow (fan on my heatsink)

What about a case fan above the CPU. If I have a tornado fan on the CPU suck hot air off, should I have the case fan drawing the heat out of the case or pushing cool air into the case.

What to do next to get this stupid Dell Laptop to work

The short and quick. Got a Dell Inspiron 4000 with a modular floppy and CD-Rom drive bay. Only one or the other can be installed at a time. The HD died so I am trying to replace it with a spare HD just collecting dust. Seems easy however it looks like both the CD-Rom and floppy are DOA. I...

How do you store your computer junk?

I was forced to reconsider my storage options when I ran out of room in my small home office. I gave away/trashed what I felt was totally unusable by having a rumage box at work. That's how I got rid of some old 486/Socket 3/Socket 4 mobos, vid cards and stuff. Kept the CPUs, memory and HD...

Kodak EasyShare DX4900 4MP Digital Camera + 32MB Compact Flash only $299.99 Shipped (NO Rebate involved)

cnet gave this one a medium grade. Good for beginners but thats it. I am looking out/ waiting for a sale on the Fuji 3800. It's only 3 MP but with a 6x optical zoom, you can get closer to the object. If you like taking pictures from a distance, I would go for a better zoom than MP any day...

Is my psu on its way out?

I have a PIII 800 at work that is doing something like that. Whenever I go to save a file, 20% of the time it will result in the system shutting down. The monitor light turns yellow and I have to reset the system. Not bothering trying to figure out what is going on because "dude, I'm getting...

Could a crappy PSU cause this?

That's what I thought for my system also. When I play Warcraft III at max level and everything turned on, I will get slow downs or crashes after about 30 minutes. If I leave before then, the system remains slow. Checking the CPU temp, I get 62-65 C. Normally I have it running at 50 C. Took...

PNY PCI TNT2 at Staples BM $43-30 MIR = $15

Check with CSO. I think they have a Vanta AGP TNT2 16Mb in their for only $9.99. It's of course AGP slot so useless for a secondary card but if you want cheap, that's the way to go. It's also a pulled card without drivers so you will need to find them on the internet but that should be real easy.

Looking for a site for purchase of case on/off switches, etc.

BestByte just got some in last night. I have been searching several sites and everybody was sold out. Look in the Case drop down category, very bottom of the list. You can also do a google search for ATX Power Switch and there's a web site that will show you how to make a switch with stuff...

Directional Antenna

Makes sense since I can't seem to get the thing off the router. I will try the other end by getting a wireless card with a removable antenna and hooking the directional there. FYI Funny thing, in another thread, there's a link to a web site that sells directional antennas and network kits...

Directional Antenna

Siemens sells directional antennas at CC for $39. They are suppose to extend the range of the router. The problem is with routers that have two antennas. Mine has two, so does this mean that I will need two directional antennas? Has anybody used such a thing for their system?

ACER Warplink

I have WLAN 802.11b throughout my house using a Siemens wireless router with 4 LAN jacks. Just for kicks, I did a search and discovered workable drivers for the old Acer Warplink cards for Windows XP. I have a machine that has both a 10/100 NIC card that hooks up to the router and a Warplink...
