    Using a UPS for a Laptop

    It's a Thinkpad 560X, and with all the action it's seen, I've taken the plastics off the thing. It weighs around 2 lbs and is ultrathin, so you can see why I like it for being a poor man's laptop. (I'm a college student.) With reguards to movies, I just transcode my DVD rips to a lower...

    Using a UPS for a Laptop

    I've read all the information about prohibited items, and the only thing that the TSA and NW disallow are spillable (wet) batteries. Seeing as though I'll get a new one, which is sealed, and will be one of those ones that are integrated into a big power strip, I'm sure that size won't be that...

    Using a UPS for a Laptop

    The problem is that the batteries for this laptop only last 1-1.5 hours. I really don't want to have to be changing the battery 4 times to only have a total runtime of 6 hours on a plane trip greater than 11 hours. Any suggestions? I also noticed that UPS systems contain sealed Lead-Acid...

    Using a UPS for a Laptop

    That really should be a problem, because all types of batteries are really dangerous and corrosive if tampered with, including laptop batteries. I could definitely open one unit up and desolder the alarm no problem. Should I contact the airline to see if having one aboard is a problem?

    Using a UPS for a Laptop

    That's so . . . American! :| I checked the planes out that I'd be flying, and I'm definitely not going to have power unless someone pays for a first class ticket. Should I contact the airlines to see if it's legal to bring a UPS onboard? Thanks for the help so far.

    Using a UPS for a Laptop

    I'm going to be going to Japan soon, and am going to be bringing my old laptop (Pentium 233) to watch stuff during the flight. I've got two batteries for the thing, but they only provide about an hour runtime each. One thing I've heard is that sometimes, depending on your flight class, you don't...

    Seagate Hard Disk Woes

    I just got a Seagate 160 GB hard drive, and have been using it as storage for my system lately. However, today I tried to install Windows XP, but when it rebooted after the initial install, it prompted me with the error message, "Error loading operating system". Hmm . . . I tried Mandrake...

    LCD Native Resolution Issue

    I am trying 1280x1024 at 60Hz, as that's what the nVidia software limits you to with DVI, and that's the only supported mode. Still doesn't work though, so I guess I'm going to have to RMA it then.

    I'm in the market for a new card now that my GeForceFX 5700LE blows so much, and am looking to spend $100 or less on a new card. It has to be AGP and an nVidia card, and so far I've looked at the 4800SE, 4200, 5750. Any suggestions?

    Power Supplies (Interesting Question)

    What I'm thinking of doing is getting a microATX motherboard to put on top of an ATX one, using half height in both. The power supply would simply sit on it's side to one end of the boards. I'm going to be low-end AMD CPUs, so I don't think there's much to worry about. So, I'm basically going to...

    What's the fastest process that will work on this board?

    I'm sorry, but this board will only support FC-PGA processors and NOT FC-PGA2. This means that you're not able to put a Tualitin based processor into the board, unless you'd like to spend about $10 extra and buy a FC-PGA to FCPGA2 adapter, which work with most boards. However, if you don't buy...

    Recommend to me the cheapest, best Socket A mobo out there!

    I would STRONGLY suggest against buying an nForce2 shuttle motherboard, as shuttle has been having problems with motherboards making high pitched noises because of crosstalk and poor QA. I have this problem with my MN31/N and it's incredibly annoying. I suggest something else!

    Recommend to me the cheapest, best Socket A mobo out there!

    I suggest that you not go the way of the nForce2, as it will add unnecessary steps of making you install the proprietary nVidia drivers, which can only serve to complicate things with Linux. Some people may swear or die by them, but I wouldn't and I own a Shuttle MN31/N. (nForce2 IGP) I suggest...
