    Vibe Lights

    Anyone had recent dealings with this company? I ordered some lights for a client's case a month ago and they've still not shipped 'em. They won't answer email or phone calls. I've ordered from them before and never had problems like this. Are they going out of business or something?

    Need to run Motion and Final Cut on an XP PC. . .

    I've found several emulators for the old Macs - - Classics, SE's, etc, but haven't found any for the new stuff. Is there such a thing? I hate to go out and buy a whole computer just for two apps.

    Cobra Nav1 2100 - - anyone have experience with it?

    Seems to have a good featureset for the price - better bang for the buck than Garmin if it works well. Anyone use it?

    Anyone else having trouble with firefox and youtube?

    In the last few weeks instead of displaying the vid it displays the source code of the page. The same link works fine in IE. I tried wiping Fox and reinstalling it, but that didn't work. Any ideas?

    What. The. Heck.

    OK so after reading some news story about a guy that's suing the Second Life company because someone stole his virtual money I decided I had to check it out. People are actually spending real money for fake goods. Coldwell Banker is selling virtual property. You can rent pretend apartments for...

    WR850G and torrents. . .

    Every time I try and grab a torrent (No, you won't believe me but yes, they're legal ones) my moto wr850G goes crazy. I can't get any connectivity on the other machines even after I stop the torrent. I have to reset the router to get my connectivity back. I think I remember reading something...

    new amp time. what's good.

    My much loved Technics receiver from 1996 finally died. Dammit. That was a great little amp. So since it's been 11 years since I've shopped for an amp, I have no clue what's good. I ONLY need the amp - my speakers still work fine and they're very good - so I'm not looking for a full home...

    I feel dumb. Compaq R3000Z disassembly.

    Since I was 5 years old I have never had trouble taking things apart until now. I'm trying to take my R3000Z apart to get to the underside of the motherboard. I pop the back cover(s) off, remove the heatsink assembly, etc etc - - so I've got the whole underside of the motherboard exposed...

    What mobo should my friend get?

    He's got a socket 939, wants to run 4g of ram, and already has the ram. Ram is 2.6v - his current board doesn't support it. He didn't realize that you have to look at that stuff. He's looking for a mobo with at least 3, preferably 4 PCI slots, and a PCIe16. Anyone know offhand of a board...

    ok . . .why is NBC discriminating against AMD users?

    searched for this and didn't see it anywhere in the forum. http://viiv.nbcuni.com/check/helpdm.html Apparently you can now get all sorts of broadcast quality video ... . but only if you have an intel-based system. Am I missing some business deal or something?

    ever have trouble making up your mind? AMD/Intel

    I'm getting ready to do a new build. Lookin' to spend $200, maybe up to $250 on the chip. For the past two weeks I've been waffling back and forth between a C2D and an X2. I'm leaning slightly X2 right now because Gigabyte has a nice mobo with onboard firewire and plenty of PCI slots that I...

    I give up! Ubuntu + beryl. . .

    and I'm just not smart enough to get it working. I have an older laptop with a Geforce4 440 video card, so the latest nvidia drivers don't work. I've updated the drivers using Envy, then tried installing Beryl. I can get it to the point where the app is installed, and the red ruby icon appears...

    compaq R3000Z power issues

    Hi all. My Compaq has started intermittently not charging when hooked up to the power brick. If I unplug the cord from the back of the computer it'll start charging again, but anywhere from immediately to an hour later it'll stop again. It's starting to get annoying. I figure it's either the...

    xfi io drive cable question

    I've got an Audigy drive and it uses what looks like an IDE cable. Does the xfi drive use the same one, and if so, IS it an IDE cable that I can replace with a rounded one? I want the drive, but I'm not too thrilled about having a ribbon cable in there. thanks

    TT Armor cooling question

    So as we all know the Armor flips the PSU on its side with the fan facing into the case. There's a removable HD cage right next to the PSU fan. So I've seen some people advise yanking the HD cage in order to give the PSU some breathing room. Then I've seen other people say with the HD cage...

    painting a case with a brush.

    Here's the problem. It's winter. I have an unheated garage, and my apartment manager probably wouldn't be happy if I spraypainted in the kitchen, so if I want to paint this case I can't use spray or airbrush. Anyone got any tips for painting where I won't have brush lines? Added difficulty...

    WTB: Black Audigy faceplate

    I'll take the whole drive if I have to, but I already have the white version so I don't need it. Having an impossible time locating one. Anyone have one lying around? Also willing (and would even prefer) to trade the white drive or just the faceplate for a black one if that works for you.

    UV question

    So I've been building computers for years, but this one's the first that I'm wasting money on mods. I must be bored or something ;) If I get UV reactive cables for the drives, can I reasonably expect to get good illumination on them from one UV cold cathode (or LED - which is better at this...

    Aerocool gatekeeper / gatekeeper 2 reviews?

    I've seen mixed reviews on the Gatewatch, and I haven't found any on the Gatewatch 2. Anyone have these? What do you think of it? I'm not gonna be doing much if any OCing - just want a fan controller for the noise mainly and to be brutally honest, the damn thing would look sweet in my case ;)...

    Thermaltake Armor question

    So I'm really liking the 10 bays and the cooling scheme of this case but before I go dropping money on it. . .Can those bizarre pseudo-door flaps be taken off without making the case look bad? They'd just get in the way of my fan monitor and are kinda silly anyway.

    cause of an SD card getting fried?

    Friend asked me to troubleshoot her HP M420 camera. She'd filled the 2g SD card, and then it told her the card had the wrong format. She tried to format it (oops) but it wouldn't. Gave it to me, I popped the SD card in the laptop (winXP) and got a critical error BSOD. Restarted with the card...

    need mp3 player that will work with win2000

    All the new portable mp3 players including the zen V which I really liked, only work with XP. This is for someone that has win2k on their box. Are there any mp3 players out there other than the Neuros (which is WAY too complicated for these guys) that will work with non-XP OS's? Thanks...

    what just happened? Firefox/Tbird

    firefox 1.5.0.7 and thunderbird 1.5.0.7, win2k. Browser lost connectivity this morning. Mail still worked, but about 30 seconds later, I got the BSOD. Restarted and when it came back up all of my emails were gone, as was the account information. Like a completely new install. On the...

    IPTV apps?

    So there seems to be a bevy of new apps cropping up that claim for a one time fee you can watch TV over the net. And since the broadcast only tier on my cable company ist $35 a month and it just gets worse from there, this concept sounds great, but my BS meter is blinking. Anyone have any...

    AIW dual head - TV not working with 2 monitors

    TV works fine if the secondary display is disabled. If I enable it and try to launch TV, it refuses to load. If I launch TV first and then enable the 2nd display, TV goes black and then crashes. Software/drivers are 1 week old. It's a 9600-pro AIW. Is this just a problem with ATI cards or is...
