    Controlling 110V devices with PC

    Ok, I've seen the posts on X-10 and the Christmas light controller via the parallel port. Those are great and gave me some ideas/info, but I have some other, probably more elementary questions and another idea. Can someone explain to me or point me to an explanation of how you can use low...

    Cold Cathode Desk Lighting?

    Just to tack onto this thread, if you wanted multiple CCFLs wired up in parallel, (or even in series), how would you calculate that? I'm sure it's an easy formula, but....

    nec nl2432hc22-22b LCD display (better sub-forum)

    10 3.5" VGA touchscreens?! You suck... :) That's awesome, man. Especially if you can use that controller that was linked. Looks like it works on USB 1.1 with a 12V supply. The catch is that I don't see anywhere with a price. Good luck, and let us see how it turns out!

    Basic tips for using rheostats/pots?

    Heh, well, so much for the really simple stuff... :) I've done some looking into variable regulators and am still trying to grasp the concept. I haven't looked into PWM yet, but I will. Why is one better than the other? Oh, and which is going to be cheaper/easier to implement? EDIT: Also...

    Basic tips for using rheostats/pots?

    Ok, I've searched this forum and found some posts on the subject, but I don't think I found anything simple enough for me to grasp... :) Just because I want to play and because it's sort of useful, I want to build a LED light bar, or combo of LED clusters, or whatever to light up my...

    Emachines Hackjob

    No, what's low is that you would actually WANT a Windows ME key! Spyder... if you can make something cool out of a eMachines box, you will definitely have done something impressive. The boxes didn't look too bad, but the stuff that waqs in them... that's another story.

    Case suggestion

    If you can deal with maybe a few scratches or a missing box, you can get a lot of the Antec cases as B Stock . For instance, the P180 drop to $67...

    odd motherboard problem. Micro or Full ATX?

    Yeah, Dell, HP/Compaq, Gateway, and others have their own proprietary boards, PSUs, HDD cages, cases, and pretty much everything else in the box... That means that you can't upgrade your mobo without buying a new box! More money for them, more hassle for the rest of us... I'm sure that, with...

    Watch TV on my PC

    So how is he going to be able to watch TV in a PIP window on his desktop? Is there software bundled with the Hauppage cards? Or can he just use WMP/etc? Also, ID, you said that the card creates a mpg on the hdd and then plays the mpg, (why i'm assuming he can just use WMP), how much lag would...
