    GUNNAR Optiks Digital Performance Eyewear @ [H]

    I gave up and returned mine. Most of the time they made reading more taxing on my eyes, if they did anything. In harsh artificial light they seemed to help a little. Don't sit too close to your screen, keep your backlight low, take breaks, and consider vision therapy. If your work...

    GUNNAR Optiks Digital Performance Eyewear @ [H]

    I tried the Gunnar's with my Kindle while using a Mighty Bright LED reading light and reading a PDF book. The glasses negate much of the harshness of the LED light and the slight magnification is welcome too. These glasses are starting to grow on me. The glasses seem to do the most good when...

    GUNNAR Optiks Digital Performance Eyewear @ [H]

    Yes, that's what I meant. The Kindle DX can read PDFs but the Kindle 1 and 2 can't. I do as much reading as I can off the Kindle instead of my PC but there's only so much you can do. Hmm, I think these Gunnar's make a bigger difference in artificial light than sunlight. Maybe. Or I'm...

    GUNNAR Optiks Digital Performance Eyewear @ [H]

    I've had my Gunnar's for a couple of days and... meh. Turning down my LCD's backlight and sitting further away from the screen was already a big help. Adding the Gunnar's doesn't seem to do much more, though I have lots of natural light and no overhead fluorescents. If I were in the usual...

    New Office Ideas?

    Might want to do a polished concrete floor if there's so much as a chance of flooding. Probably cheaper than hardwood and very durable. Easier maintenance too. Don't exhaust into the walls. Adding air pressure inside the walls can dislodge drywall tape, etc. I agree with FRAGizm, the...

    GUNNAR Optiks Digital Performance Eyewear @ [H]

    Getting checked for Convergence Insufficiency is a good idea too. It's an old and fairly common problem that didn't matter much until people started spending all day staring at a computer screen. Most optometrists don't check for it. The website will direct you to ones that do. Vision...

    VGA card silencer for a Q-pack?

    I think the upcoming Zalman VF900 will fit. Pics here. It's supposed to ship sometime this quarter.

    A shuttle for Pentium D ?

    The X2 3800+ is $322, not a large premium over the 920 D. As for cooling the CPU below ambient, that violates the laws of physics unless you're using a water chiller or thermoelectric cooler or something like that. Plain water cooling won't do it. Power consumption measured at the wall can...

    A shuttle for Pentium D ?

    I don't know about the 920, but the top-of-the-line 65nm P4 vs. AMD FX60 comparison here is enlightening. The 920 should have a similar power consumption gap with the X2 3800+. 65nm helps Intel but they're still woefully behind AMD. Also, 20C = 68F (Google "20C to F" for a handy...

    A shuttle for Pentium D ?

    A Pentium D in a Shuttle? Can you say "Toaster"? Seriously, get an Athlon 64 X2. The lower electric bill will pay for the higher up-front cost.

    Dual Slim dvd drives

    I have what appears to be the same bracket, pictures here, but I bought mine from a vendor on eBay. Aha, found them!. Nice folks, and cheaper than case-mod.com. They have a slim DVD/3.5" floppy (could be used for 3.5" HD?) combo bracket that's interesting too.

    QPack Watercooling Idea

    Hmm... would a dual 80mm fit there, along the right-hand side? Wouldn't it bump up against the motherboard? The 80mm rads are thicker than the BIP2 too, which isn't good for the low RPM quiet fans I want. I think the only serious cutting I'd have to do is two blowholes for the 120mm radiator...

    QPack Watercooling Idea

    A Thermochill PA160 might be a better choice, if the shroud and fan can be mounted externally. Expensive though.

    QPack Watercooling Idea

    After reading some of the other QPack watercooling threads here, I think I've figured out a neat new way to do the job. Parts list: DangerDen CSP-MAG pump BIP2 radiator Fillport resevoir or plain fillport in T-line configuration or that Swiftech SFF reservoir 3/8" Tygon tubing (maybe...
