Best headphones for around $150?

I love my Sony MDR-V600s. Get great sound out of them, whether playing Counter-Strike at 3am, listening to PvD before heading to the gym, or a little Schubert for post-essay relaxation. They ran about $160 Canadian. However, I have since tried some Sennheiser headphones, and was totally blown...

Ricoh CD burners... any good?

Cheers guys! I'm off to grab myself a cheap-ass Ricoh and a metric tonne of CDs. You people rock!

Ricoh CD burners... any good?

I've just learned that the Ricoh burners do no support CloneCD, and generally suck at copying protected media... is this a huge problem? How prevalent are CDs with copy protection? Also, there's a Mitsumi CR4804TE (4x4x24) available. This one is $10 cheaper, and does support CloneCD...

Ricoh CD burners... any good?

I've just found a couple of *fabulous* deals on Ricoh CD burners. There's a model 7063A (6x4x32) going for $169, and a 7083A (8x8x32) for $199 - that's in Canadian dollars too. So, I've now got no excuse NOT to get a burner... Except, I've heard some very bad things about the Ricoh 7060As...

what MP3 cd player to get? (bye-bye ravemp 2300)

If you want an MP3 player based on Clik! discs, get the Sensory Science raveMP 2300. They're a much more established portable audio company (this is their 6th or so MP3 player), and they use better components (eg. Sennheiser earbuds). Their website is...

Panaflo fans and summing decibels.

Thanks! Ars is usually right on the money... great bit of help. My intention was to take one of the very quiet 80mm case fans I had, and make a fandapter for my Alpha. That'll get rid of the noisy little ah heck, and probably drop my CPU temps by a few more degrees. However, I will have to...

Panaflo fans and summing decibels.

And here I'd thought Panaflo was dead. =) I've happened upon a new bunch of fans that may save me from fan-induced headaches forever. I found them http://www.panasonic.com/industrial_oem/computer/computer_fans_panaflo_axial.htm on Panasonic's website. Incredibly low deicbels for the CFM they...

Original Abit BM6 and bios work fine with Celeron 600

Yep... I'm going to reflash with the old BIOS... as soon as my STUPID floppy drive decides to work. I rounded the cables, and poof! nothing. The activity light is on all the time, and it won't recognise disks in the drive. SIGH.

Getting more voltage out of a BM6?

Hey there. I just got my CUSpacer in the mail (THANK YOU T.GILLITZER!!!), and my Celery2-566 is cooking at 892MHz and 1.65V. But, I think it could cook a LOT more. Temp under full load is only 32C (!!). I think this baby can go higher... WAY higher. It could have GHz potential... drool...

Where to buy Copper Shims!?!

Argh. I'm annoyed. I've been looking all over for a copper shim to help my old Alpha sit right on my new Celery. Plycon won't ship to Canada. 3dxfCool won't ship it to me, since my credit card is registered at my non-university address. Overclockers' Hideout sells shims that appear to only...

overclocking celeron 566

Try to return it... obviously, you've tried upping the voltage. If it won't even POST above 638, I doubt more cooling would help. I spent WEEKS looking for a place with a reasonable return policy on CPUs. Finally found one with only a 5% restocking fee, and their prices are dirt cheap. Oh...

Cleaning thermal grease from a CPU.

What is the most thorough and/or safest way to clean a CPU? I have two, an old Celeron 366, and a new 566, which have an inferior grade of thermal grase on them. I want to get rid of this gunk, and replace it with the Arctic Silver paste I picked up yesterday. What sort of material or solvent...
