    Surroundview on Shuttle ST20G5: Forgets 1 of my 3 monitors?

    Okay, this is really weird. Anyone know a lot about video drivers? I installed a few new drives in my Shuttle ST20G5 recently, and installed Windows 2000 Professional on the new boot drive. I then proceeded to install the new ATI Catalyst drivers, first the ones for the onboard Xpress 200...

    Next significant jump in HD capacities?

    I want to upgrade to the highest capacity drives I can (don't tell me about price/capacity ration, this is for a SFF, I can't fit in more drives). Right now I'm looking at the Seagate 500GB 7200.9. I've been checking press releases, and no one seems to have anything significantly larger...

    The Perfect Case

    The whole front 5 1/4" bays, like the CMStacker. Hard drives can mount farther back, possibly beneath a blowhole, vertically. Design a matching 3 1/2" adapter in case you want to use a floppy/ZIP/whatever. Power pre-routed to a "power strip" that runs down the side of the drive cage, so you...

    LCD protector for the 2405FPW

    Acrylic: cheaper, lighter, easier to keep in place because it's lighter, less breakable, and fewer little sharp pointy bits in the remote possibility it does get broken. Velcro means you can take it off when there's no danger about. Plus, if it doesn't look quite as good, maybe that'll...

    LCD protector for the 2405FPW

    Well apparently no one thought my Acer was worth protecting. :rolleyes: But I forged out on my own, used Velcro to stick a piece of acrylic on it, and it works great. It's playable through it, and if I'm really not pleased with the picture, it comes off in about 10 seconds. Either way...

    Protecting an LCD for LANparties

    I've got an 8ms Acer LCD to use as my designated LANparty monitor (I prefer CRTs when I have a choice). Obviously I can't toss it around as carelessly as CRTs, since it's not glass, it's whatever LCDs are made of. I've considered the Geargrip LCD shield, but I don't particularly need any...

    Best gaming keyboard?

    Don't bother, unless you're really scared of painting. It's a painted Keytronic.

    Computer inside a CD wallet

    Needs video/power port holes so it can run closed.

    Cooler Master's new case for LAN party

    So they put the power buttons on top. Great. Now, why exactly aren't the USB and sound ports there, instead of stupidly on the side?

    A game to create weapons?

    Check out Restricted Area. It's kind of like a post-apocalyptic Diablo II, and in addition to finding weapons and implants with special abilities, you can then take them to the NPC and get them tweaked in different ways for cash. Alternately, get Diablo II and the Eastern Sun 3.00 mod. It...

    SFF or Tower?

    Why not just get the ST20G5 or the SN25P?
