    Low Power AM2+/NAS Use

    I've considering repurposing my old HTPC hardware (AM2+ Mobo/Phenom II 940 (125w)/4gb DDR2) memory into a NAS, can anyone recommend a good low power CPU replacement to swap into the board to cut down on heat/power usage in a NAS? Thanks

    what are mechanical keyboards?

    My IBM Model M "clicky" keyboard circa the late '80s is a dream to type on. The tactile feedback blows most modern keyboards away!

    Adapter vs Bridged Connection

    Valid point, although any box I'd be hardwiring into a bridge with ethernet is also going to need a power outlet nearby too. Any performance thoughts?

    Adapter vs Bridged Connection

    Considering you can buy DD-WRT flashable routers and bridge them to an existing wireless network connecting up to 4 or 5 devices for $30 these days, can anyone think of any good reasons to buy a $20-30 single machine USB or PCI wireless adapter instead? How do you think performance compares...

    Upgrading lcd to higher resolution from different brand

    Not likely to work but if you want to move forward make sure you check the all of the physical dimensions of the new LCD. Just because they're both 15.6" screens doesn't mean they have the same form factor or bezel size.

    Retrieving data from an early-'90s PC

    I'd suggest copying everything off the hard drive the first time you boot it up as there's no guarantee 15 year old rotational drives will power/spin up an indefinite number of times (if they work at all) and it'd be a shame to needlessly loose that data if you value it.

    Notebook with a parallel port?

    Chances are good an Expresscard adapter is using USB through the Expresscard slot as well so you really aren't any better off using one of those versus an external USB parallel dongle

    Looking for a cheap PDA that can do excel, access, or some kind of chart

    You could probably pick up a used Windows Mobile Smartphone off Craigslist that would be cheaper and faster than most "traditional" non-phone PDAs you'll find which are likely several years old at this point.

    Bad Sectors

    I've been having some BSODs, small data corruption issues and general system oddities on my IBM T60 WinXP laptop. I ran Chkdsk and noticed I've got 16kb of bad sectors on my Hard Drive. I'm not certain whether I'm looking at a System or a Hard drive failure in progress but seeing any bad sectors...

    Looking for a HTPC case

    If you're concerned with quieting your HTPC at any point, I wouldn't go with a case much smaller than a NSK2400 as once you start getting smaller from that point you start loosing the ability to use standard (quieter) ATX PSUs and have to use smaller (louder) fans to cool your case. Its also...
