    Diablo II balance question

    So I just started playing Diablo II for the first time :-O To my surprise it seems incredibly imbalanced, vs the original Diablo or similar genera games (not played D3), to the degree of feeling pointless to play. Besides feeling too easy otherwise, its mainly because of the frequency and type...

    USB Sata docks or adapters reliability?

    Been thinking about the reliability of USB Sata docks, adapters, or enclosures (for SSD and HDD). Seems like they damage or destroy drives far more frequently than they should, from experience and what Ive heard. Im wondering why, and what makes the most difference: whether inadequate amperage...

    Laptop optical drive replacement caddy quality?

    It seems that cheap USB to SATA adapters have damaged quite a few drives though.. I guess that is the type of thing Im concerned about. But youre saying this is different enough that there is much less risk involved, even if using the cheapest adapter?

    Anyone know of a simple sturdy way to position/stabilize a 40-60mm fan using motherboard screws/posts to basically make a smaller equivalent to the Antec Cool Spot?

    Cooling solution for an inconveniently located GPU in SFF case?

    Ive been trying to figure out a non-tacky but low cost simple solution for a fanless Sapphire 5450 which seems to overheat from lack of airflow. The card/slot is at the far edge of the case/motherboard away from the CPU fan airflow, and case space is too limited to fit an Antec Cool Spot...

    Low cost CPU's from China or Hong Kong?

    Was thinking because of it being an enclosed area (like any area that becomes moldy because moisture can get in but not easily out) and of such high heat (dust getting in and accumulating). After seeing two CPUs now like this it seems that the middle of one side is not glued on purpose maybe. I...
