I'm cleaning house and have about five years of hardware for sale. I can take pictures of equipment and provide more details. Everything is functioning properly unless otherwise noted. All prices are negotiable and do not include shipping. I will ship with whatever method buyer prefers...

It probably could be done. There was a story sometime ago about a guy removing the memory chips from his graphics cards and putting different memory on. He made a makeshift solder oven out of a toaster oven and used some sort of solder paste. Like I said, it could be done. But even for...

Yep, that is true. The longest you can get a warranty would be by getting AppleCare, which would push your computer's warranty period to a complete 3 years.

Luck of the draw...that is definitely too bad. Hopefully they'll see to it that you get it replaced.

Think about the transition/benefits of moving to the 64 bit version of Windows. If it was twice as fast as the 32 bit version, we'd all be jumping to get on it! However, it's not. For most users like us, the 32 vs. 64 bit issue just isn't important.

Uh oh, this will get people started on the morality of the RMA'ing something you've broken yourself. One side of the argument says that these are delicate electronics and you should handle them carefully - and if you don't, that's your fault. Why not call up the manufacturer and explain your...

You can fix that yourself or get someone who knows how to work with electronics to do it. The capacitor will probably cost like $0.10 or so, just find a friend with a steady hand, good iron, and the skills!

Amen to that. The wing in my current dorm was built in 1980 so the wiring can't be that horrible. However, one breaker carries a couple rooms with computers, fridges, microwaves, and a small computer lab. I bought a UPS device this year because our circuit broke at least a couple times a...

That's really weird, they list support for FLAC on their web site and I know I've used it on Windows and Linux. Who knows...

You can do it in VLC! But I don't really like VLC as a primary application for playing audio. I'm not sure what you should use for that and FLAC, I don't think iTunes can do it.

Then you lied about your age, they don't hire people who aren't 18 :D What everyone says about the split up of the job is definitely something you have to think about. Customers are assholes with frequency, most of your time is spent helping people with iPods or boring errors. You do...

Yep there is always that problem. Box pops up "oh look, I must have to type in something to keep going, let me just do that..." and then you could have problems. It's the same thing with pop-ups that look like real Windows windows or DOS windows telling you to do stuff, we know it's something...

I was going to use a little less strong wording but I completely agree. The Core Duo is super fast and and G4 is aging. Either wait for a 17 inch Macbook or get the 15 right now.

Congrats man, sounds like a great 'in' to the world of better audio. I hope you enjoy the RS-1 and the emu as well :cool:

For that price range the HD580 would be good from the Sennheiser line. You could also look at some AKG, Beyerdynamic, or Grado headphones in that range, those tend to be pretty popular. It also depends on what kind of music you listen to, gaming, what else you want to do. Some people swear by...
