    Help placing an on/off switch between PSU & HDD

    So with the DPST I would connect the 3V from the PSU to 1 and 3V out to 2 and 12v in to 3 and 12v out to 4 while leaving the grounds straight to the HDD? This was the DPST and diagram I found: Circuitry:DPST Contact Voltage AC Max:125V Contact Current AC Max:10A Thanks for the...

    Help placing an on/off switch between PSU & HDD

    I have an external USB HDD that I only turn on to backup data and have always wanted it in my computer case to save space, but I didn't want it on all the time. Then, I read an article on a 3 way switch between hard drives which gave me an idea to have it mounted in my case and plugged in via...

    LG L246W

    I just picked this up at Best Buy yesterday and WOW is this thing great! Upgraded from a Sony SDM-HS75/B 17". I always have a hard time calibrating and have no calibration device, so could someone upload a good icc profile for me to start with? Thanks

    NEC 20WMGX2 to upgrade my Iiyama 17"

    Thanks, that's what I thought, so I definitely want a bigger screen. Problem is, 22"er's are TN (I do not game, want accurate colors) and pixel pitch isn't as sharp as 24"s. Now the problem with 24"s is, price of course, and I hard time even justifying buying one because they seem WAY too big...

    NEC 20WMGX2 to upgrade my Iiyama 17"

    Would someone mind telling me the viewable screen height of the 20WMGX2? I have a 17" 4:3 monitor and I don't think a 20" is much taller, if it even is at all.

    LG L246W

    WTF? Last week or so, I use my credit card points to get a $100 CC gift card. A couple days later the L246WP disappears from the website and no stores have it anymore. That was my sole reason for getting the gift card.

    Best ~20" widescreen under $500?

    That's kind of what I was thinking, but I would be very satisfied with a 20" with a superior screen.

    Best ~20" widescreen under $500?

    I have been researching and nothing ever really seems to stick out as a clear best to me. The most important factors to me in order would be color, sharpness, contrast, pixel response. I mostly web browse, photoshop, and stream HDTV and currently have a Sony 17" SDM-HS75P. The 21" Samsung 215TW...

    Fastes hard drive configurations <$300? raid?

    Yes I do all of which you named. It is the 740GD with only 8mb cache. I was thinking either grab the 740ADFD or 2x16MB 250GB WD or Seagate SATA-II in raid 0.

    What are some of the best cards for pure music?

    Yeah about $100 or a little lower was what I wanted to spend. I'll look into those. Does the sound quality get better with a 192khz rather than 96?

    2x1gb crucial DDR2 800 or 2x512 corsair DDR2 1000?

    Oops, yeah I knew that but just typed in the wrong #. Is the ballistix really worth the $100 more? I've never really tried to OC but plan to make this 4.0 ghz or a little more. I just want a decent oc, not push it to the most stable limit.

    2x1gb crucial DDR2 800 or 2x512 corsair DDR2 1000?

    I'm going to build a new computer before xmas and was wondering what memory to get. Should I go with CORSAIR XMS2 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR2 1000 $265 @ 5-4-4-9 or with 2 x crucial Ballistix 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 800 for $440 @ 4-4-4-12 or even this CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 1000 $340 @...

    So I RMA'D my FSP 400 Bluestorm PSU because...

    It became whiny (almost a buzzing) when cpu usage went up and my 12v was at 11.90 - 11.96. I get my new one today and take out my TT 430 Purepower, boot up and it gets a high pitch whine when my cpu usage goes up. Also, the 12v is the same as before. Are these psus known to be whiny? MSI...

    First Intel build, suggestions?

    I have an external hard drive that I do regular backups on. I will research the vidcard more, I don't know much about them. I don't know what 3d programs I'll use or if I even will, its speculation now. Just depends what route I take for school.

    First Intel build, suggestions?

    Should I go with dual core or get a 6xx with HT? I will not be gaming at all. I use photoshop, dreamweaver, some 3D programs in the future and encode video. I could probably go with a cheaper video card. Probably won't build for a month or 2 though. I'm new to OC/ing but will want to OC this...
