    eBay Patenting "Fool Proof" Shipping?

    I usually sell between 75-100 items a month on eBay and for the shipping fees I just pad the weight a bit when I list the item so that it calculates a bit high for the buyer then I drop the weight down to actual when printing the label. I have never netted out a loss on shipping. That said the...

    Nook Color - I love it!

    I too got one for Christmas and have been pondering the idea of rooting it. The one thing I can't seem to find definatively posted is whether or not the new OS image you load is 2.1 with some changes or 2.2? I love my color as a reader, but constantly find myself going back to my iPhone for...

    Mid-Century Modern aka Mad Men PC

    This mod is absolutely amazing. I wasnt really liking the grill at first, but once you added the dividers that made the whole thing pop. The style is perfect, the proportions are great. Very, VERY well done. Can't wait to see this one complete.

    Any small form fit ATX mobo?

    Just kinda currious what the end goal for the HTPC is going to be? Are you going to be using it as a media center / blu-ray player, or are you really just hooking a gaming box up to a TV and are trying to get a smaller case for it? Your comments about OC'ing and needing a big vid card have...

    WTB: Cheap AM2 heatsink

    How cheap is "cheap"? I have an AM2 server heatsink, copper base, heatpipes, really short, but very loud. You could replace the fan if you like though, anyhow, LMK.

    2009 VW Jetta Carputer

    Definately like what you have done. I too would suggest removing the lilyput logo and maybe even try modding that green LED to a red one so that it matches the rest of the lights in the car. That would make it look completely OEM.

    SGI Silicon Graphics IRIS Indigo Case

    I have one that I am in the process of modding. Its a great case, the metal innards come out in one piece making it easy to mod it without messing up the external looks. It easily fits most mATX boards, just not the ones that are extra long front to back. Maybe link the board you are looking...

    Touch Screen Keypads vs. Physical Qwerty Keyboards

    My wife has an iPhone and I don't really like the onsceen keyboard. I greatly prefer the physical keyboard on my Samsung i760. It just feels like a smaller version my DiNovo Mini.

    New&warm - 9600GT low profile card $100 A/R

    You do not need a low profile card for that case. If you want to get a 9600GT, just buy the cheapest regular one you can find. 1. You will be fine to use a DVI-HDMI adaptor. The graphics card will not use the onboard graphic's HDMI port. Again though since your case doesn't require a LP...

    Abit going belly-up

    I'll definately be sad to see them go. I have had so many Abit boards over the years. I started out with a BE6, then got a BP6 and another celly, then it caught fire and I moved to a VP6. After that I got a NF7-S for a while and followed it up with an IT7-MAX when I moved to the P4. The...

    Comcast Considering 250GB Cap, Disconnecting Pirates

    This really is going to suck, this just puts the internet squarely two steps backwards. I agree with detering piracy, but anyone who uses a lot of streaming video will come close to using this up. I am really going to have to move out of Georgia to get FIOS and get away from this crap.
