Looking for an iPod Touch 5th gen for my daughter for Christmas. I'd trust one from one of you shady characters before I trust eBay or a local pawnshop. :) Looking to spend around $100. Most that I've seen have been priced around $80 for the 16GB and more for 32 but some have not been in great...

Old case found in this thread.
So, I'll be starting with an NZXT Source 210 white case. 2 reasons here 1: its a mid tower size for a gaming rig. 2: it requires little bondo work unlike the...
I've googled and come up with bubkus on this. I recently moved and the kids saw it in the pile of junk I have and we wanted to play it but W7 x64 threw a holy fit. Blinking like crazy. Disabled areo and flashing stopped but would never load. Ran in compatibility for xp SP2 as an administrator...

While testing the W7 RC I noticed that after Hibernation the IP address is reconfigured and a new one issued. This may be of concern to gamers who play online games that need dedicated port forwarding. I currently use RealFlight G4.5 which requires this and I have had to setup a dedicated IP in...

So I got Autodesk 3DS Max for another hobby. I use an R/C flight simulator called RealFlight and it allows you to make your own planes using Max. So I have made several planes but I would love to make some nice renderings in Max for desktops. Anyone help me with lighting and a background maybe a...
I started a thread over in the general hardware as a place to start. Got no response so I'll post here for the "bored" electronic gurus.
I play an R/C flight simulator called Real Flight G4. It comes with a Futaba-based controller that interfaces with the computer through USB 2.0 connection...
OK, so I love this simulator called Real Flight and it somes with this schmancy Futaba controller that hooks to the puter by USB. Its powered, I assume by the connection, no lights or anything on it. Is there a way to make the thing wireless?
Mods please move this to the electronics part of...
So, For about the past week I have had a few random reboots with no BSOD in XP (32-bit) on my sig rig. It started freaking out yesterday getting to the loading screen and rebooting. I moved back my overclock to 2.7 and all awas fine for about an hour of testing... then nothing not even stock...

Just curious... are there any real modded laptops out there? I'm not talking just a nice paint job or fancy stickers but real modding. I just ordered a cheapo for school and thought about it but I've got no ideas.
Thought I would post a pic and inform those who own. In modding my fan cover on my X1950 Pros today I discovered a TON of thermal compound.
This is FAR to much and thought I should inform the community. I will also be sending a note to HIS as well.

So I scored this on the side of the road:
I want to get the radiators for other applications but I know nothing about how to discharge teh system. I did not want to just take a hack saw to it. I do not see any valves or anything.
