I'm moving into a new apartment and thinking about improving my networking. Normally I have ran a ton of cat5 to get 100mbit between devices, and 802.11g for the laptops. To improve speed and decrease hassle, my thought is to just run cat5 in each room (3 at most), and connect all those rooms...

I have a website accessible from domainA.com/domainB and from domainB.com, both point to the same folder. Is there anyway using an .htaccess file to selectively look at the .com part of the name, and send back a 404 based on it? I'm not familiar enough with them to know, but I suspect this is...

Question for you PCP&C supply owners, especially those with a 510-ATX. When your system is booted cold, and the supply is running cool, does the fan stop spinning completely? I imagine theres some logic programmed in to vary the fan speed in accordance with internal temperatures, but I can't...

I've got a low/mid range Home Theater PC that's been experiencing some random freezes lately, quite frequently. The same type of actions (within SageTV my PVR App) were causing the entire system to just lock up. I first turned to the hard drive, since constant read/writes + head + 24/7 =...

I have a pair of I-Trigue 3300 speakers, which work great for a low-end pair. As you can see in the image below, they come with a wired remote control. I broke it down and did a bit of reverse engineering, and it's as simple as it gets. The dial is a variable resistor, few other resistors in...

Well, I encountered something very strange with my almost 2.5 year old Inspiron laptop. I was using the laptop, and the battery got critically low, which causes the charge light to start flashing orange. The system went into hibernate, as expected, and then I plugged it back into the AC...

Posting this as a follow up to my thread a few weeks ago, when my PCP&C 510 supply suddenly started pouring smoke and died on the spot. Search is disabled, or else I wouldn't have bothered with a new thread. Basic backstory: -Power supply goes up in smoke -No proof of purchase, bought 2nd...

I've got a little Sempron processor running in my Home Theater PC, it stays fairly cool, only 1.6Ghz, single core, etc. I just moved into a new apartment, and the HTPC's new entertainment center has poor air ventilation. What's the safe peak temperature for these AMD chips to run, without...

I'm moving into a small apartment, and looking to upgrade my 13" tv from 1998. I got spoiled over the past year, since my roommate had a 32" HD LCD, but now I'm on my own. I'm trying to keep the price at $300 or less, although I've seen a few tempting things for mid 300's. Originally I was...

I've got a Gateway 3040GZ laptop, about 2 years ago. Suddenly when I booted it up today, the bios screen had a very strong red color shift to it, along with an audible buzzing. About 5-10 seconds into the boot sequence, the screen goes practically black. Upon closer observation, it books and...

I've got a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop, and the DC Jack broke on it. I got a new jack off eBay to replace the old one with. Last night I stripped down to the motherboard, and got to work desoldering the old jack, which is where I'm having trouble. I'm using some desoldering braid, and a 15W...

Whenever I leave my system, I do a windows+L, and leave it shut and locked. However on average of a few times per week, when I return to the system, the mouse is all funky. I've been having this problem with my Dell Inspiron 6000 for a month or two now. Essentially what seems to be...

Whenever I try to defrag my C:\ drive using Diskeeper, the system reboots itself suddenly during the process. I ran the chkdsk utility from a reboot, and it is causing the system to restart once chkdsk reaches 66% or so. I had to hit a key and skip the check disk, just to get back into...
