    Dell 3008WFP vs Gateway XHD3000

    Haven't found a topic that specifically pits these two monitors against each other... So which 30" would you choose, and why? Gaming, photo/video editing, and movie viewing are the highest priorities for me, personally, and I'm liking the idea of the S-IPS panel and the contrast ratio on...

    Do quality headphones for people with a case of hot ears exist? ~.^

    Does a pair of quality headphones (no earbuds) without the hot-head ear-muff effect exist? Something in the not-much-more-than-$100 price range. Currently using these cheapies: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Precision-Gaming-Headset-980231-0403/dp/B0002XIX0E Which sound better to me in gaming...

    (qty 1) PA120.1 vs (qty 2) 120mm GTS Stealths?

    For a low-ish flow system (8mm ID) with low-ish rpm fans :) I'm only planning on doing chipset / cpu (quad), but I'll want to OC as much as possible. I do not wish to get a a dual or triple rad at this time... any thoughts? PA120.1...

    Weighted Companion Cube case

    Someone had to do it. Note that I'm notorious for not completing projects, but hopefully this is one of those rare exceptions. The goal is to have a ~15" companion cube for my aging hardware. I'm tired of staring at the carcass of a case I use, and I hunger for companionship. Day (night...

    Possible to have USB and PS2 keyboard in XP?

    I have a USB keyboard that I love, and the x-arcade joystick (which is functionally a keyboard) with a ps2 cable. The problem is once I boot up XP seems to disable the PS2 port. The only way I can get it to work at the moment is to disconnect the usb keyboard prior to starting up, then plug it...

    Trying to find PCI/expansion slot dual fan holder

    Anyone have any idea where I can find one? I don't want one with fans already installed, I'm just looking for the bracket/holder that fits into an expansion slot, say, below the VGA card and would aim 2 fans (of my choosing) above. Looks sort of like [ O O ], heh. Thanks!

    Small, super minimalist joystick for *cough*bf2*cough*

    Can anyone recommend such a device just for flying? I will not play any other games with it, so I'm looking for something as small as possible that I can use just for the jets. I assume it just needs a couple buttons and a simple throttle? And it needs to be USB, of course.

    Super low profile case casters / wheels?

    Anyone know of any low profile casters for a case? I only need it to roll forward and backward if that helps at all. This is for a 4u case that I am flat mounting in my stereo cabinet. Thanks! -mike

    Any tips for flood damage?

    I got a nifty little machine that has survived a flood just barely... it boots, but the HDD sounds like its on its way out and there's some stability issues. I'm going to replace the drive, but noticed a few components have a few water stains and I suspect some dried mineral deposits as well...

    Favorite BF2 server browser?

    Lame Q? Dunnoh, I can only find 3-4 servers on the BF2 server browser that don't lag like crazy, and they usually aren't ranked (at this rate, it will take me 3 years to unlock a weapon :o). Has anyone had positive experiences with any other services?

    Anyone remember the black painted G3/G4?

    I could have sworn it was [H] related, but can't find the story anywhere. "Evil" comes to mind... evil mac? It was one where the case was painted black and red from the inside. Thanks! -mike

    Saitek Eclipse kb is a lady in red...

    This is a really really simple worklog... I thought it might help people curious about cracking open their Saiteks. As long as you can solder carefully you can do this. I purchased 15 # 67-1722-1-ND LEDs off digikey knowing that I might melt a couple. If you like to gamble, buy 10. Here's the...

    Single switch to turn off all front activity LEDs?

    Anyone have a solution that comes to mind? Since the + and ground are provided from the pairs of headers off the mobo, I can't think of a way to get a single switch to power all these items off (safely). This is for running a machine in a bedroom at night.

    Innovatek graph-o-matic wb on current cards?

    Hey folks, Is anyone using Innovatek graph-o-matic waterblocks on the current crops of video cards? These are the GPU-only style waterblocks that don't cover any of the RAM. I was trying to mount mine on a brand new BFG6800GTOC tonight and found the mounting hardware doesn't line up with the...
