I lost my 15-inch Santa Rosa MBP to the NVidia defect while out of town last week (of course - couldn't happen while I'm at home...:rolleyes:). It still boots and I can get at the hard disk over the network, but both the built-in display and external DVI port are completely kaput. Apple are...

I need some suggestions on what's going on with my 3G here. This is a refurb 3G that was provided as a replacement about 9-10 months ago when my previous one's flash RAM died. About three weeks ago, with zero change in typical usage, my battery life went from 18 hours (on average) down to 9-10...

http://www.macrumors.com/2010/04/10/macbook-pro-updates-imminent-really-part-numbers-appear/ Looks like there should be an announcement pretty quick if this screen cap is for real. Man, I can't wait. My '07 Santa Rosa MBP is really starting to feel its age, so this bit of news is pretty...

Question about this. I haven't seen any SSD drives in a 3.5" form factor, but I would like to replace a couple of the internal drives in my Mac Pro (2008 Octo-Xeon) with SSD. Is anyone here aware either of a 3.5" SSD or a 2.5"-3.5" adapter that will keep the correct connector alignment to plug...

I've been out of the loop on hardware details for a while, and am having trouble finding the information I need to answer a question. My sister currently has a 4-year-old BYO PC with a pair of SLI'd 7900 GTs, C2D E6600 (2.4GHz/1066FSB) and 4GB of memory that she's looking to replace. She has...

http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/10/11/major-bug-in-snow-leopard-deletes-all-user-data Sorry for the sensationalist thread title, but I thought this article was worth posting here to gather feedback on whether it has affected any [H] Mac users or not. I have not done any independent...

I swear, I've had the worst luck with my iPhone, as I'm now on my fifth refurb replacement handset. Here's what happened. Seconds after iTunes started updating my iPhone last night (from 3.0.1 to 3.1), the update process stopped with unexpected error 2006 and the phone was stuck in recovery...

So, I'm on my 3rd reman 3G due to a series of bad-luck-but-warranty-covered issues. It looks like I'm on my way to a fourth one, but I thought I'd check and see if anyone has any thoughts on the matter. I've been trying to use the GPS functionality in my current 3G, as I've been traveling a...

...drive two smaller DVI monitors (say, 20" each)? I can't seem to find any information regarding using it for two smaller monitors, and I don't know enough about dual-link to be able to infer the answer on my own. Google has been somewhat unhelpful in this regard, though I may just not know...

So I have this old 12" G3 iBook (700MHz, 640MB, 100GB disk) that's been laying around forever, and I want to get Leopard running on it. It was running Tiger, and it booted just fine for me to get some old data off it before doing a clean install. Its DVD drive is bad, so I put the iBook in...

I've about had it with my old P-D930 desktop system - it's time for a new machine! My question is, how good/bad is the RHD2600P in the iMac for gaming? My 930D box w/ 2GB of RAM and dual SLI'd 7900GTs is acceptable for games - pushing around 25 frames in City of Heroes and ~20-40 frames in...

So I had a little mishap with my MBP last Friday, where I inadvertently left my laptop bag behind my 'Vette and backed straight over it. :eek: I about crapped myself when I realized what happened, and quickly retrieved it to see the remnants of what I was sure was a destroyed machine. Well...

http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/20070905comp.htm?iid=pr1_releasepri_20070905m Suddenly, I'm having visions of a quad-socket 16-core MacPro with up to 64GB of memory when the next rev (eventually) drops... :eek: -Brian

I just threw together a system last night, and while I think I'm dealing with a bad motherboard, I'd like to run it past the forum and solicit other opinions. Here's what I have: Asus P5N32-SLI Deluxe 2x 1GB OCZ DDR2-667 Pentium D 930 OEM 2x BFG GF7900 GT OC 256MB 650W BFG eATX PSU...

I'm playing with the idea of buying a 20" iMac before they become "just another Intel box," and was wondering if anyone has successfully modded a dual-core G5 into a G5 iMac. If so, what was involved in doing so? If not, what would be major roadblocks to doing so (ie physical/electrical...

...for lightning to kill a laptop? I left my work laptop (HP/Compaq nc4010) in the trunk of my car last night, and we had a hellacious thunderstorm roll through the city - some lightning strikes were so close to the house that there was no discernable delay from lightning strike to...

I'm considering buying a desktop replacement laptop that I will be using primarily for FPS, MMORPG and RTS games, but that also needs to be usable as a video editing platform (light-duty for the most part, but still necessary). This will be in addition to general office apps, network...

I have an Exos Al cooling a dual-Athlon server that runs 24/7 (mail/web/ADC/DNS/DHCP/etc.). It has run in this configuration reliably and leak-free for over a year now. This weekend I had my house fumigated (Sulfuryl Fluroride aka "Vikane" with Chloropicrin warning agent) and was told by the...
