    Most Compact UPS?

    Nevermind, a UPS is just overkill for a clock and a dawn/dusk simulator. I do wonder what it would take to hack a battery into the unit though. Too bad I don't posses the knowledge nor the skills. I did come across another source of dawn simulators @ sunraintime.com very similar to the products...

    Most Compact UPS?

    What do you mean by "wiring channel"? I would most likely put the UPS and the simulator underneath a bedstand.

    Most Compact UPS?

    Is 10-30 minutes uptime reasonable? I am looking to keep the simulator (and my regular clock) from resetting/losing programming from relative hiccups.

    Most Compact UPS?

    Hi I am looking into purchasing a UltraLux Dawn Simulator (manual if interested) or a SunRizr Dawn/Dusk simulator (the manual if interested), the con is that if the power goes out for either of these, the unit will lose it's programming and may not do it's work. The electricity in this house is...

    Hard Drive for Dell Dimension 4300

    Thanks for the replies guys. So what I'm hearing is that there is no ideal solution to upgrading this computer in terms of performance balanced with cost. I will need to accept lousy performance and that sata1 w/ pci controller is the way to go correct? I'm wondering how the performance of the...

    Hard Drive for Dell Dimension 4300

    Been looking at pci cards all night. What I'm trying to figure out though is what the performance/roof I need to adhere to so as not to waste money. I want performance based on hard drives since my other options seem to be non existent. I was looking at ssd with sata2 for a boot partition and...

    Hard Drive for Dell Dimension 4300

    Thanks for the advice. If I were to just get one hard drive, say 120 gb because of the limitations, what kind of hard drive would I get? I don't know what interface/connection the hard drive needs to be. IDE, there are several kinds of IDE interfaces right? I'm behind when it comes to hardware.

    Hard Drive for Dell Dimension 4300

    Hello, I got a Dell Dimension 4300 recently, it works fine but the hard drive seems to be shot. Did diagnostics with Siltaz Linux and everything seems to be ok. The thing is this computer is old, I believe I will need to buy an IDE style hard drive but I'm not sure what kind? I'm not sure if...

    Suggestions for bit set?

    Hi, I'm in the market for a good quality bit set for electronics. It'd be nice if it could do general use too but that is not necessary. I found this set at ifixit.com but figured you lot might know of a snazzier or higher quality set. I liked the concept of the skewdriver but it does not have...

    mac memory sticks use in pc?

    Recycling is preferable to tossing an old mac into a landfill. Actually I'm thinking about buying a new mac. Someone gave me his Dell Dimension 4300 and said he doesn't want it. It's totally fine nothing wrong with it. According to Crucial Memory it suggested 2x512 sticks. I don't think I'd be...

    mac memory sticks use in pc?

    I was just wondering if it is possible to take memory sticks that shipped with a mac and place it in a PC? Some people like to get the smallest/cheapest option when configuring a mac, then they buy the max memory from online for much cheaper to save money. The thing is I hate the idea of...
