    Thinkpad battery FRU compatibility

    I have an older 9 cell battery (FRU: 42T4912) for my older T series that's apparently compatible with: EDGE 14 EDGE 15 L410 L412 L510 L512 SL410 SL510 T410 T410i T510 T510i W510 I was wondering if I could reuse it if I bought a T520 and T530? I'm suspecting it may work because the current...

    x230t used with dual 1920x1200 monitors?

    Hmm, it's that's a good sign. Hmm, I've asked Lenovo support about this but they end up just not responding anymore when I ask this question :mad:. I very much want to buy the notebook/tablet, but to make it my desktop replacement I need to be sure it supports both my monitors.

    2x8Gb, recommendations?

    Thanks for the recommendations, then I think I'll stick with the 4x4GB route. I'm glad to find out there's nothing I need to watch out for when I decide to upgrade to 8GB modules. Conker: There's a pretty good deal right now on 2x8GB for $160 after rebate...

    2x8Gb, recommendations?

    Is anyone considering a 2x8Gb setup now? I suppose I could go with 4x4Gb and later down the road do a 4x8Gb when those become mainstream in pricing. I'm just wondering if there are any drawbacks with a 4x8Gb and whether I need to worry about ECC with RAM modules this large. If I do, I might...

    2x8Gb, recommendations?

    I'm considering a new build with 2x8Gb and then in a couple years adding another 2x8Gb (or higher). Is there anything special when buying 8GB sticks that I should know? Do I need to worry about things like ECC? Does mixing brands become more of an issue?

    Expanding linux partition size

    Would fsarchiver stand a chance? I hate having to restore everything just to make my hard drive space more efficient.

    Extension cables

    Are there any noticeable issues for people using PSUs with extenders for big cases? Are there specific cables I should try to avoid extending. For example, the 24 pin motherboard cable to power the CPU?

    Recommend a case

    Requirements: Full tower Side Window Bottom mounted power supply (with PSU air intake from the bottom to get outside air) Dust filters (third party dust filter is fine) Right now, I've been staring at the CM HAF X. But I was wondering if anyone knew alternatives.
