Yes, I'm talking about the AcuRite 00613A1.
I read some articles on basement moisture control. I got the impression that a dehumidifier might not be the best choice for my situation. One alternative solution is applying a sealant to the walls. So I thought my first step should be to get a...
My unfinished basement has a moisture problem. There is efflorescence on the walls and papers/books absorb moisture over time. The basement walls are cinder block. The house was built in 1965 (little or no built-in basement moisture protection). I don't have a dehumidifier.
I'd like to...
The consumer guides to furnace selection say that an oversized furnace results in "short cycling". They say short cycling is bad for several reasons including but not limited to being uneconomical. In my case you are correct that the potential saving is small. The 25-year old furnace in my...
Easier said than done. I've had two estimates from highly rated companies for a 915 square foot ranch home in southern NJ (5000 annual heating degree days). Both took no interior house measurements and they did not examine the ducts. They both recommended 60K-65K BTU 80% AFUE single stage...
I'm considering establishing whole-house surge-protection in my home. I've read that to be of any value a whole-house surge-protector requires that the house have a low-impedence ground. For protection of sensitive electronic equipment, a ground resistance of 5-ohms or less is recommended (NEC...
An alternative to consider is to use a E12-to-E26 socket adapter. This will allow you to use a conventional bulb in a candelabra socket. However, the adapters I've found via web search have a significant proportion of unsatisfactory customer reviews.
My dining area has pendant lighting fixtures with E12 (candelabra) sockets. CFL bulbs are installed in those fixtures. I would like to replace the CFL bulbs with LED bulbs. There is a far wider selection of E26 (standard base) LED bulbs than E12 LED bulbs. I've searched the web for E12-to-E26...
A member of the Linux User Group I belong to built a router using an Alix System Board ( http://www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm). He runs Debian on it because he is a hard-core Debian enthusiast. If you view the referenced web-page, you will see that there are many alternative router-oriented distros...
I asked a similar question about running a SATA HDD via a PCI adapter card on the Memory & Storage Forum ( http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2347015 ). I was informed that in certain situations the HDD might not be bootable.
monkeydelmagico: I don't have another PCI-e graphics card. But the fact that the keyboard LEDs don't blink on power-up leads me to think that the problem is more serious than a failed graphics card. Also, the graphics card was working fine with the original mobo.

I reran the test booting one RAM stick at a time (eight tests. Each of two sticks in each of four sockets). Still no video or keyboard-LED blinks.
I read the article from PCSTATS.com "Beginners Guide: How to Install/Remove AMD Socket AM3 CPU and Heatsink". I removed the CPU to check for...
Wrong fan orientation is because I haven't figured out the AMD socket. There are mounting lugs on two opposite sides of the socket and they look identical to me. Thus, I thought that I had two choices of orientation in mounting the fan. I picked the one with the easier connection of the fan wire...
Jkauff: My secondary PC predates PCIe. Thanks for pointing out the AT classifieds.
C1: If I buy a new HDD I'd want SATA. I'd be inclined to purchase a used HDD only from someone I know, but it didn't occur to me that HDD's are available on Craigslist.
Here's some detail about the failing HDD...
I have a secondary PC which I use solely for backups and for emergency use when my primary PC is unavailable. The motherboard is about nine years old and has no SATA connectors. The HDD has a failing controller and needs to be replaced. I'd like to replace it with a SATA HDD (which I could also...
This September my PC (built in February 2011) failed to boot. The symptoms (e.g. CPU fan not spinning, even with a substitute PSU) led me to suspect a failed motherboard. I received and installed a replacement motherboard on October 7.
Symptoms at power-up (with replacement motherboard):
