Sealing shrink wrap?

I've had no luck sealing it with the heat of a soldering iron since it burns holes right through the plastic. Does anyone know if Michaels, kinkos, or home depot have shrink wrapping services or seal plastic? If yes, will their hardware accommodate a basket about as large 4 xbox consoles stacked...

Sealing shrink wrap?

Thanks for the offer, but it's due soon and I can't bother to wait for shipping. How does the sealer work? Does it melt the plastic together?

Sealing shrink wrap?

What's the technique to sealing open edges with a hot knife? I already tried tape and glue, but the hair dryer I used was melting the adhesive off of both.

Sealing shrink wrap?

I have a crafts project due (I needed an elective easy enough to give the sufficient college credits to graduate) and I have no idea how to properly seal shrink wrap. Since a sealer is way too expensive just for a single occasion application, what's the best way to emulate how a sealer works?

Why is good mem needed for Oc's

I heard that cpus used to overclock without the need to raise the FSB. However, retailers were marketing CPUs as higher models and CPU makers got greedy and needed an extra incentive for buyers to get a higher binned chip. The overclocking mechanics seem artificial to me, especially when decent...

Dead or Alive 4: The Review

The purpose of countering is to discourage patterns in your opponent's attacks. From reading your review, it is apparent that you have problems with this "game fix". I don't think the purpose of countering in DOA 3 was to ever have a 33% chance to give free, loads of damage. If you have read...

Help me stop being jaded

Can you state which of these works is most contrary to nihilism? What seems to make the most sense right now is the idea that our world is filled with no purpose and that every human work, action, or inaction is the result of one wanting to fill the void (basically everything is done in ignorance).

8800GTX oblivon and WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO

Regarding 7900gt SLI vs 8800gt- I think the 7900gts would provide better average performance than a single 8800gt, especially when they are that highly overclocked. Heck, with SLI AA, i think the gts would provide better IQ. However, the selling point is better architecture via unified shaders...

How does my 7900gt SLI setup compare to ATI x1900 series cards in shader intensive games?

I have had one major advantage with SLI, which is image quality. Using SLI anti aliasing, you can force applications to render much smoother textures, althought this will reduce performance significantly in addition to weak shader performance.

Owners of Asus p5n sli, 300 fsb cap removed

I was able to come up with a final overclock @ 325fsb. 25 fsb from the initial cap is not bad and offers a pretty good price to performance ratio considering that it is a sub $150 mobo that supports C2D and SLI. I'm hoping future bios updates will raise the cap even more.

is the 7900gt co an okay card?

If I were in your position, I would still get the x1950. Chances are that if you only use standard devices (nothing special, just a hard drive up to 2 disk drives, and you're not a hardcore overclocker, the card would function perfectly). You're not going to be saving any money opting for the...

An example of a game that my cards struggle on is Age of Empires 3. To have generally smooth performance, i have to set my shaders to high and AA to low (probably 4x, application doesn't specify). It does slow down considerably with smoke effects. To get absolutely flawless performance, i have...

Overclocking wont give me a realistic performance boost (maybe up to 10 fps, but I still wont be playing shader intensive games to the max). To get your clocks, I would need a voltmod. I am really not up for physically modifying my cards' pcbs, though I probably do have adequate cooling with my...

What exactly is under the heatspreader? I was under the impression that it was like normal PCB with a core that has plastic covering, similar to a video card that doesn't get damaged when wiping it with rubbing alchohol (the pcb surrounding the plastic covered core).
