    My mini PC

    Nice job man. But i have to laugh at your disclaimer... http://www.asus.com/Desktop/EeeBox_PC_EB1007/ That design is a bit older than you think. ;)

    Downfall of UltraSparcs

    The frame-buffer video connector is a 13W3 style connector. Very popular among workstation class machines because it carried RGB on coax cables versus pins, very little crosstalk and highly color accurate. There's adapters out there to make them VGA as most of them are fixed-frequency, fixed-res...

    Five Servers Into One?

    Sorry to dig up a month old post, but i have to say a few bits here... First and foremost, everyone has been pushing overly complicated setups, and the OP just want's to run a basic setup. I'm going to guess since he's a department techite, he's probably not expecting 30 million hits to his...

    Switching Software/distro

    Back in the day i used to use a program called zebra. Essentially emulated IOS on a PC. More of a router setup than switch, but if i remember correctly it would do layer3 stuff pretty easily. http://www.zebra.org

    Need Help Identifying a Connector

    get the standard round one, and take a pliers to the bottom and flatten out the roundness... seems like a pretty quick answer to me... Or, change out the connector on the GPS side (get the male/female set) and not worry about trying to find a one-off connector.

    Soyo 24" - Should I be worried?

    All of you with the flickering/going on/off issue, the stock DVI cables are crap. Get the cheap ones from monoprice.com and all the issues go away. (i have 2 of these screens, both MVAs) Both of mine had that problem, putt a different DVI cable on them, BAM! never a problem since.

    9600GT and 7900GS coexist?

    Well, the modified drivers from guru3d recognise both cards, both cards install fine, but as soon as i activate the 2 soyo monitors on the 7900gs, the system hangs, and nv_disp causes a BSOD, same song and dance. Now i'm beyond the date of returning the 9600GT, so i'm kinda stuck with it...

    9600GT and 7900GS coexist?

    All, I had to get a nice new shiny toy for my rig, so i got an XFX 9600GT OC. I have a MSI 975X platinum mobo (yes, i know that the pcie slots go 8x when both are in use) and am not looking to do SLI. I also just happen to have 2 of those soyo 24" monitors, and another 24" samsung. Well, it'd...

    HD-A3 for $199 with 10 free movies - HOT!

    Seems this doesn't work anymore? Doesn't work for me anyways. Added the A3 to cart, still popped up $299... :rolleyes:

    Backing For Entertainment Stand (You know that hard Cardboard Like Thing)

    Bet it got pretty wobbly when you took it off? That hardboard stuff is there to support the whole thing for some dumb reason. I just replaced mine with some hardboard from Home Depot, and spray painted it black. Just cut out the holes you need... Otherwise you'll be ripping it apart again...

    AVADirect HTPC @ [H] Consumer

    One thing I would suggest them to add to any HTPC custom build is the ability to configure it with more than 1 tuner. They don't even give you the option, and a good portion of their cards are older. They should be able to offer the dual tuner nvidia card or the hauppauge card. Then offer a...

    any difference between monster HDMI cables and others?

    I have outfitted my whole home theater with monoprice cables. several HDMI-DVI cables, component cables, VGA cables, optical cables, etc. Probably about $200 worth from them, or in best buy speak, about $1200 loss in monster proffits. :) Only thing to be wary of here with HDMI/DVI is length...

    XPS Gen 5 PSU restoration

    Digikey.com, mouser.com, radio shack, etc. That's a pretty common size fuse. But if the fuse is blown, you might have more on your hands than just a fuse. If it's the line input fuse, it saw a surge (quite large to boot).

    Cases and why is HTPC setups expensive?

    Yes i did really look around, i have been for about a year. The unfortunate part of this is, nothing looks appealing to me. The silverstone LC-16M is the closest to anything worth looking at. Everything else just seems too cheap for what you pay for. I guess my original gripe was that all of the...
