    WTB: Xbox 360 HD-DVD Player Power Supply

    Just the power supply. I know I can get the player and all of the pieces relatively cheap, but I'm having a hard time just getting the power supply. I must've lost the original one when I moved. Anyone have a spare or know where I can get one?

    Looking for a slight upgrade... Cans for around $250-300?

    Currently I commute with a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 770s 80ohm, powered from my iPhone 4S or iPad 2, through a FiiO E5 portable amp. The right can has been rattling a lot lately... It's hard to tell if it's a hair on the driver or if it's blown out, though I think it's the latter. I've taken...

    Hitman: Absolution (PC, Xbox 360, PS3)

    The first full gameplay video has been released, I gotta say I'm mighty impressed! Seems like a great evolution of the series. Only thing I could do without is that "see through walls" deal. Thankfully it seems like you can choose just not to use it. This isn't Deus Ex after all. I love the...

    Old iPhoto '11 Slideshow broken. How do I remove it?

    I built a slideshow a few months ago with photos from an event that I had in iPhoto. Eventually I deleted the event with those photos in it (they were for a family member who wanted a slideshow made.) The slideshow still shows up in iPhoto, but when I click on it, it hangs, and I get the...

    iPhoto... Sped up with SSD?

    As you all know, iPhoto, with a lot of photos, is slow as molasses. I have over 13,000 photos in there in various events and albums and it takes forever to start up, and it's never smooth to scroll through (Machine specs in my sig). However, I am getting an SSD soon, and I have to decide what...

    In the market for a SSD - Mid 2010 Apple MBP - Questions...

    With Lion on the horizon, and the fact that I barely use my Optical Drive, I'm in the mood to get an SSD. I've been looking into it the past few days, and man oh man the amount of info available is staggering. I really don't know where to start. I have twenty tabs open just trying to piece this...

    iPhone iOS 4 tethering... Where on AT&T's site can I enable it?

    I see the option in my iPhone settings, but when I hit it it says to either call 611 or go to my account settings online to enable it. However, I do not see any option to enable it anywhere on the site. Yes I'm already on the 2GB DataPro plan.

    New pair of can's for the commute - Suggestions wanted!

    I've owned a pair of Sennheiser PXC 300's for over 4 years now and they've treated me very well. Excellent sound cancellation, great sound quality, and very portable. However, time has had its toll on them, the wires have just about had it (the cold NYC weather only makes them more fragile), and...

    USB Web Cam accessible over network? Possible with a USB to Ethernet adapter?

    So here at our office, sometimes our receptionist is not available and we have to buzz people in ourselves. Sometimes it's someone who actually works here, sometimes it's the UPS/FedEx/Food Delivery guy. Point is, sometimes we have to get up and greet who's coming into the office and sometimes...

    Power Mac G4 - Strange boot up situation... Mouse gets Startup Disk working?

    We have three Power Mac G4's here at our office which have been salvaged for parts in other machines for some time now. We decided to piece together a G4 to play a video in our lobby during office hours. One that would shut down and boot up at required times and automatically play the video...

    Macbook Pro LED Backlight question

    Just out of curiosity, would it be detrimental to my screen to keep the brightness of the LEDs up all the way? The backlight is really nice and I almost always keep it up when I'm using it and bring it all the way down till it's black when I go to sleep. Will keeping it nearly all the way up...

    Any way to input my XBox 360s video signal to my MBP monitor?

    I was just curious if this could be done. I have a relatively old CRT HDTV which has some major overscan and sometimes I'd just like to be able to see all my screen real estate and my new MBP has amazingly crisp LCD screen with bright LED backlighting. So what do you guys say?

    Where can I get an extra battery for my Macbook Pro 15.4"?

    Pretty much what I asked in the topic... I have a new MacBook Pro 15.4" (MB133LL/A) and while the battery life is great, it's not enough for a 6 hour flight across the US, or an entire day of classes. So pretty much, I want a spare battery. Where can I look and how much money should I...

    8500GT slower than my old 6800?

    Due to circumstances beyond my control (My 6800 died, the monitor would not turn on) I had to run to Best Buy and pick up a video card in my 100-150 dollar price range. The 8500 fit the bill, since it was in the GeForce 8 family, I figured it'd be pretty smooth and would give me a good boost in...

    Help! In all Source games my rear speakers are switched!

    Just what the topic says. I had a suspicion when Alyx was talking to me from my rear left speaker but she was on my right. I went to Counter-Strike: Source and used the Audio test and whenever it says "Rear Right" the audio comes out the Rear Left and vice versa. None of my other games have...

    Consistant lag on all Steam games

    Whenever I play a Steam game (HL2, CS:S, TF2) online, every other minute or two everything gets frozen mid-air... people, nades, rockets, etc for about a second or two, then everything continues.

    Question about a command-line prefix for Half-Life 2...

    I'm looking for the prefix I can add to the HL2 or Team Fortress 2 command line that'll turn off loading the 3d elements on the main menu background and just loading a static image. For me it takes longer than I'd like just to load up the menu and I don't really need to see that background, I...
