    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    I just got a S5-1414. I noticed that on the bottom of the optical drive tray there are four holes that line up with the holes on the bottom of a 2.5" drive. It looks like there's JUST room enough for a drive in there between the optical drive and the 3.5" hard drive. I searched this huge...

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    Well, since I don't have enough posts to list this in the for sale form where it belongs I'll stick it here. I've got the SGI-branded gray FW900 for sale, $250 OBO. Very good shape, anti-glare film removed, perfect glass, no problems that I'm aware of. I'm in ZIP 19464 and this is pickup only...

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    I've got three systems I'd like to get hooked up to my FW900 and was wondering if this idea would help me avoid using a KVM for the graphics connections. The first system is just a normal PC. I'd connect it D-sub VGA out to the D-sub connector on the FW900. The other two systems are an SGI...

    Even though I just listed my SGI-branded FW900 for sale a few posts back (and it is still up for sale), I decided to pull the anti-glare film off. Its stuck on there good but the removal process isn't that difficult. Remove the back case from the monitor by unscrewing four screens, two on...

    Oh sorry I thought you were talking about an issue with a Sony hooked to an SGI. No clue, mine doesn't do that.

    Hmm not sure. What kind of SGI is it?

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    I know I've read complaints in this thread about problems with DVI->VGA adapters. So far everything I've hooked up to my FW900 has had an analog output so that hasn't been an issue for me. I've got a Gigabyte GA-MA78LM-S2H motherboard with integrated ATI Radeon 3000 graphics. I can't get it...

    Antec 300

    Does anyone know if a full-length PCI card will fit in this case? It looks a bit short or like it would take some cutting of the bays for the hard drives to fit it.

    PCI Single Board Computer

    I think I saw that before, I'm surprised google searches haven't brought up anything along the lines of my question - somebody else must have wondered about this at some point. I don't have any particular use for one other than the usual hobbyist interest in unusual stuff. And I was thinking...

    PCI Single Board Computer

    Does anyone know of any single board computers that can be used in PC PCI or PCI-X slot and either run its own instance of Windows or Linux or function as an added CPU in addition to the motherboard CPU? I know most of these things are meant for specialized PCI backplanes for industrial...

    Check out searchtempest.com for searching multiple craigslist locations at once. Here's a $99 FW900 in NJ: http://newjersey.craigslist.org/sys/1527086562.html As long as you can get a monitor of this quality for +/- $100 this thread isn't going anywhere! As promised here's a...

    Has anyone tried replacing the USB hub with one that's 2.0? I've only been able to read about half of this thread so far so it may have come up. It would take some work even if you found one that lined up exactly with the current holes - if you were going to power it from the monitor...

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    Got the monitor (SGI version, GDM-FW9011) home and hooked up without incident. Hooked it up to the G5 and set it at 1920x1200 and let it sit for about 45 minutes. Then I did image restore which didn't seem to do much. It was looking pretty good beforehand though. I tried it a few more times...

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    Just got it! The case looks great except for a few minor scratches on top that aren't visible from the front. I looked it over quickly since the guy still had relatives in for the holidays but the screen looked OK. Not bad for $75 including the BNC cable! :) Most people may prefer the Sony...
