    Laptop internal dvd/cd drive dead?

    My coworker is a student from Germany, and recently her Averatec model 3200 lappy's internal dvd burner/cd drive started making some clicking sounds on it's own. The clicking stopped days later, but now the drive isn't responding at all. She'll probably have to ship the entire unit to Germany or...

    80>120mm fan adapters?

    like this one: http://www.svc.com/fa80120-uvblu.html I was wondering if anyone had experience with using these plastic funnel adapters that allow you to use a larger fan with a smaller slot. Are they effective? I'm interested in getting a 120mm fan (to push out way more air) for the back of...

    difference between Canon S4xx and A8x

    I'm torn between either purchasing the Canon S410 or the Powershot A85. Both are 4 megapixel, and similarly priced. S410: very compact, uses lithium ion battery A85: AA / rechargable AA's, larger size, stronger flash?? I'm interested to know if anyone knows the difference in image...

    Winchester prices sub Newcastle now?

    Just a few weeks ago, a Winchester 3500+ on newegg cost 10-20+ more than the Newcastle counterpart. Now the Winny is a few dollars cheaper. Did AMD recently make a ton of Winnys, which in turn lowered the price? I know that the 90nms are cheaper to make because of the smaller surface area.

    sbc dsl...arg

    This is sort of a warning for ppl that use sbc yahoo dsl. I originally signed up for 1.5/128 under a 1-year 26.99/mo promotion. After the contract ended the price upped to the regular 49.99 with a free 384 upload upgrade. I just found out from a friend that they've only charging (started...

    mp3 player white noise?

    I just purchased a brand new 256mb Creative Muvo TX FM for my mom, and whenever a button is pressed (turning on/off, changing volume, ff/rw, etc.) there is a soft hum/buz sound. After about 5 seconds, the sound goes away and everything is fine until we press a button again. - then it's another 5...

    cord hanging

    A friend of mine is a mini-disc fanatic, and he hangs his earbud-style headphones on the wall when he's not using them so the cords will stay straight. Does having squished or tangled cords really damage and degrade the quality of audio in earphones at a noticeble level, if any? I used to use a...

    Gold/silver connector makes a big difference?

    Is there really a huge difference in sound quality between gold and "silver" connectors? If a lot of Sennheisers use silver connectors, than it can't be that bad right? Sure gold looks more expensive I guess, but that might just be Sony's marketing goal in attempts to distinguish itself...The...

    noob pronunciation question

    Some questions that would make an audiophile turn in his/her grave :). But seriously, I really don't know the answers. 1. is Grado pronounced "Graw-Doe" or "Gray-Doe" or something completely different? 2. is Sennheiser pronounced "Sign-Hiser" ? I'll take the proper "American" and...

    tips needed on burning pause-free audio tracks on cdr

    I recently burned some trance/techno onto a cdr and adjusted the pause setting between tracks from 2 seconds by default to 0 seconds in Nero-6's properties. I played the cd on my stereo but there still seemed to be some sort of mini delay or stutter as I listened closely between tracks. Does...

    are PortaPros oldschool?

    When I first saw the Koss PortaPros, I thought they looked pretty retro (I'm pretty young, so that's like the 80's for me). They're still selling for like 40 bucks and from a review I read, they first came out in the late 80s. Are the ones selling today the same model and look as the original...

    looking for a simple, black keyboard

    Can anyone recommend a plain, black usb/ps2 keyboard without those extra media keys? I've seen a few simple ones on online shops, however they have L-shaped Enter keys, which aren't preferable for me. I'm probably going to order a dell one if I can't find any other, because my last one was great...
