    Need new mouse wired or wireless for large hands.

    My Intellimouse Explorer 4.0 bit the dust (hold the laughs). I am in the market for a mouse that size or larger. I don't need anything insanely larger just a bit. I would also like to find one that the wheel is cleanable if possible I am a programmer and use the wheel a lot to scroll. The...

    Any External USB 3.0 Drive Enclosures that don't suck and don't break the bank.

    I thought so too, the Vantec I mention in the first post has two large thick heavy aluminum panels, that never touch the drive... Yeah having the case aluminum might help a smidgen but contact with the drive would help a lot!. I get it though, its been made pretty clear that I shouldn't bother...

    Any External USB 3.0 Drive Enclosures that don't suck and don't break the bank.

    I'd like to fix the problem I have, in part because in all likelihood the enclosure (if its not a pile of shit) will last longer than the drive in it for use with the Xbox, considering it will likely be upgraded to a larger size in the future. The other issue is making sure I dont introduce yet...

    LOL I dont want to replace the HD thats already in that enclosure, its a classic, its the model that backblaze blasted earlier this year (ST3000DM001). I bought it before that damn story came out, this one has been replaced once by Seagate already LOL. Yes it can all live without the extra...

    Wow, you know, I have been working in this field for 21 years, and obviously I missed finding the show me it all button. I came here because [H]ardocop has always (in the past at least) been a friendly place where people are happy to share their knowledge of obscure parts and sources. I...

    Thanks but I really want some active cooling. The drive is going into an entertainment center. http://imgur.com/KfDrtdC you can see I already have an antec fan behind the xbox to blow out heat, then on the shelf above below the tv bezel you can see the current drive enclosure, its there because...

    Mice for large hands

    Hey yall, I am looking for a sub $50 mouse for a large hand. My hand swallows MS Intellimouse Explorer 4.0 mice. I would love one slightly larger with a heavier feel if possible. Optical only, connection type is irrelevant. Any suggestions?

    Building a closet low power server, fanless? Case suggestions?

    Building a closet low power server, fanless? Case suggestions?

    Ok so I am overbuilding LOL(dont tell my wife). Trust me the lightest atom could replace the server that I am hosted on now. Its a Virtual Server thats only guaranteed to 400Mhz and peaks at 8G but mine never spikes it over 400 that I have ever seen.

    Building a closet low power server, fanless? Case suggestions?

    One of the reasons I was looking at the ION based model was Gigabit, and the 4Gig option, overkill I know but who knows what the future may hold.

    Building a closet low power server, fanless? Case suggestions?

    Ok I am looking into building a fanless server that will do light duty linux based server work. It will be doing web, email, dns etc. I will probably do an Atom n330 based box with 4 gig of ram, something like...
