I try to repair and maintain my stuff way after the manufacturer stops supporting it. Have a Brother laser which I've had for nearly 10 years now. Whilst it's been relatively trouble free, it's taking 5 mins or more to print a page. Any ideas what part might have worn? The printer itself...

After missing out on the A4-SFX batch this February I did some case hunting and came across the stunning Osmi case. Despite the oft mentioned difficulty of working with it, I've been quite taken with its looks. It's the best looking ITX case out there IMO. With that said I'm thinking of the...

We're an all FreeNAS shop and whilst it's been pretty good we're kinda finding the management, reporting and monitoring aspects of it leave a lot wanting. We use an older Synology RackStation for Apple time machine backups and management, monitoring etc. are a breeze comparatively. Of course...

We've rolled our own Debian+Samba+Active Directory NAS boxes for a while now but the man power required to configure and maintain them is becoming a little too much. We've tried a few NAS distros in vmware and FreeNAS seems good. Openfiler seems a bit flaky. Openmediavault looks absolutely...

I'm running a Dell 2405FPW over DVI at 1920x1200 and getting flickering on port 1 of a Geforce 6800 Ultra. It occurs under certain conditions. For example, whilst viewing this forum against a busy windows wallpaper. eg. using this as my wallpaper: And viewing a lighter window against...
