    Looking to disassemble and paint my case interior

    If you can't find the tools at Lowes of HD, try Sears, there you can pick one up for about 10bucks, online at least.

    Pranks on IT Dept

    Dis something similar, only put all the icons into a folder labeled "porn" and told the guy it was from malware. He ended up reformatting the computer. Another I like to do is pulling out the power cord on the monitor just enough so that it doesn't get power, but looks like its plugged in...

    Looking to disassemble and paint my case interior

    if you cant afford a pro paint job or poweder coat I think that buying automotive spray paint would give the best result for the money compared to regular spray paint, imo. the rivets I have used in putting back together cases are called "pop rivets." you need a special gun for them, and they...

    Pranks on IT Dept

    Own or rent modem?

    I wish I still had TWC. When I was up in NY I loved their service and their customer service, as much of you here talk how good they seem to treat you in other areas of the country. I know Brighthouse is supposedly a partner company of TWC, and if they really are they could use to learn a lot...

    Own or rent modem?

    I am in FL too, and also have Brighthouse, and they never really gave me much help when I tried to have the problem resolved a year ago. Maybe when I move next week I can get better results.

    Own or rent modem?

    I am not sure how to isolate the modem? I assume it is and thats what the company said because I will loose all connection for a min or two and it will come back as if it got reset. What should I look for when if I buy a modem? I know Linksys is a good company, but they only have one modem...

    Own or rent modem?

    My current internet is through the local cable company and seemes to have excessive disconnection/resets. My disconnections/resets are from 5 a day to 5 an hour. I tried calling them to see what was wrong with the connection, but all they said was that it is a problem with the modem. It is their...
