OK, my wife has finally had it with some of my impulse tech buys just sitting in the closet. So I've got to get rid of stuff. All prices include shipping: TP Link TL-WR740N (new never used): Sold Lite-On DH-52N2P CD-ROM: $10 Intel Core 2 Duo 6300 CPU: SOLD Gyration Wireless Keyboard (missing...

So my old water-cooled socket 949 finally gave up the ghost, so it's time for a new computer. As much as I would have liked to tackle another water-cooling project, I just don't have the time and it was a fight to convince my wife to let me build this one anyway. So as a compromise, I'm back...

So my trusty A8N-SLI Premium went Tango Uniform recently. I thought initially it was the PSU because the 12V reading were flaky, so I replaced my Antec TruePower II with a OCZ 700. That at least got me some error beeps (which shouldn't happen on this mobo since its got the fancy voice POST...

OK I need to tap the recesses of memory for an old school suggestion (meaning Pentium III or Socket A--read cheap) mobo that has IDE RAID and a fast ethernet connection to replace my SuperMicro 370SSR mobo in my Maxattach 4100 NAS. So it needs to fit in a 1U case. Anybody remember such a beast?

I need a SuperMicro 370SSR to replace the one that died in my MaxAttach 4100. I know it's an older mobo, but I'm hoping someone has one laying around somewhere. I'm also open to other mobos that will fit in a 1U case.

I'm building a NAS and need 4 (or more) IDE hard drives--looking for 120gb or 160gb if anyone has 'em. Thanks!

I realize this may not be exactly the right forum for this thread, but I figure with so many people posting cool wallpaper and desktops someone may have the answer. I've got a modest collection of wallpaper that I really like. The problem is that I never get to see it except when I re-boot...

Anybody know of a good source for two-way mirrored acrylic or plexi like A.C. Ryan's AcrylPanel Mirror2? I'd like to use something like that for my side window... Thanks!

I was wondering if there was any interest out there for a circuit that would make push-to-make switches (like the cool Bulgin switches) act more liken normal switches (i.e. push once to turn on, push again to turn off). I've got four Bulgin switches that I'm planning to use to control lighting...

OK, so a couple of months my 2001FP monitor starts loosing the DVI connection and displaying some typical problems of the "stuck in power save mode" problem. I convince Dell to send me a new monitor (or refurbished one at least) and I thought my problems were solved. But they came back within...

Has anybody tried putting a heatsink on top of the main part of the heat pipe (that sits right on top of the North Bridge) of an A8N-SLI Premium??? I know the NB temps get pretty high and thought maybe that would be a simple, inexpensive solution. Just curious if anybody has tried it...

OK, so I've had my 2001 FP for about two years, it's recently started "blanking out" on me. I'll be working and the display will just disappear. I've got it hooked up to two 6800GT's running in SLI through DVI. If I unplug the DVI and plug in the D-SUB cable, I get the picture back. At...

So I've got a USB external hard drive--works fine. But I'm already using a ton of USB connections while I have a lonely 1394 port sitting open on the back of my computer. I was wondering if anybody knows where I can find firewire to HDD adapter? The external drive is one of those Metal...

Those ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe owners that are air cooling your CPU: want to sell me your northbridge fan??? I bet your not using it! Hook a brother up! I'm watercooling my A8N-SLI Premium and that fan would work perfect for me! ALSO: Got a dead or non-functioning Saitek Eclipse keyboard...

The last couple of times I've started Outlook I've noticed that my memory usage spikes. This last time the reminder.exe was taking up over 1GB of memory! I end the process and all returns to normal, but WTFO?!?! How can that simple program get that bloated? Any ideas on how to put it on a...

Anyone have any suggestions for removing the Cooler Master lables on my WaveMaster? It's brushed aluminum, so it should be able to standup to some pretty harsh stuff, I just thought I'd see if anyone had some good suggestions... Thanks!

Is there any difference between the two ground wires that you find in a standard HDD molex power connector? I know that you've got wires for both 5V and 12V, but are the two ground wires paired with each one or do they all come back to a common ground in the PSU? I'm asking because I'm...

Is there any reason I can't run 2 x HDD (one SATA one PATA) and 2 x DVD burners (one is a LightScribe) off the same line from my power supply (It's an Antec TruePower II rated for 550W)? I'm trying to neaten up the cables in my case and it would be easier if I ran them all off the same line...

Staples has I/O Magic 16x DVD Lightscribe burner that is just a rebadged BenQ 1655 on sale for $49.94 here And then if you go here you can cross-flash it to a real BenQ 1655.

Needed to mod an Apple Universal Dock insert to work with a 30GB Video iPod with an Agent18 Click-Shield. Simple enough to do, but Apple includes a bunch of inserts with their universal dock. I'll send them to anyone that'll pay the shipping (should be $4.05). I've got inserts labled 3, 4, 6...

I'm upgrading my WC setup because I've finally got another video card to run SLI. I was just running a PolarFlo block on my CPU, but am going to add two NV-68's to cool the vid cards. I'm also going from a double 80mm rad to a double 120mm rad to help with the cooling. Because of the...

OK, parting out an Innovatek Set 2 and other Innovatek stuff. It’s been used in a system for about six months, so there are signs of use, but I’ve tried to clean stuff up. I dropped the prices, if they don't sell by the end of the week, they're going on eBay... I’ve lapped all the...

They have this listed under the computer water-cooling section on eBay, but obviously it should be in the fans and heatsinks section... I think it'll be a little loud sitting in my room thought... :eek:

I'm not sure this is exactly the right place for this post, but I'll start here... So what's the deal with nVidia's firewall (ActiveArmor)? If you look on nVidia's web page they make it seem like ActiveArmor has [H]ardOCP's stamp of approval. But I've not seen too many positive posting...

Does anybody know of a tweak, hack, or program that will automatically minimize all my windows when I log back onto my computer after its entered screensaver mode? I know this seems rather trivial, but I've got some cool wallpaper that I never see because I've always got windows open. I...

OK, I'm going to be getting an Opty here soon and I know I'm probably going to have to re-install Windoze in order for it to deal with having two brains rather than one correctly. Anybody know of a good re-install guide? I've got XP on it's own partition with all of my applications and games...

OK, so I pick up a bunch of Innovatek stuff on eBay (really only wanted the Tank-o-matic, but now I've got a bunch of other stuff). I was just going to convert the Tank-o to 1/2" barbs because that's what I'm running in my system. But now I'm wondering if I should convert to 3/8" because I've...

I coulda swore I read in one of the threads that somebody had made their own NV-68 SLI by taking two NV-68 blocks and plugging and re-tapping, but I can't find it anywhere! I've done a dozen different searches and couldn't find it. Anybody remember who it was or have any other leads for me...

OK, does anyone have any practical experience with the Netgear SC101? I've read some reviews that make it sound OK. But I'm wondering if there's anyone that has some [H]core expereince with it and can give me the real skinny on whether it's worth it or not... :confused:

OK, so I built my first water cooling set up in September last year. It was primarily built from a dtek kit and featured their spiral waterblock. All was well until a couple of months ago. I started to notice some random lock ups and the nVidia software was telling me that my BFG 5900XT card...

So I go to turn on water-cooled NFS-7v2 computer and nothing happens--no BIOS screen, no POST, no nothin'. Then I notice that my keyboard isn't lit up (since I have a Saitek backlit keyboard) nor is there anything from my optical mouse. :confused: That starts to get me worried. As I...

OK, I ordered 4 of the cool-looking Bulgin anti-vandal switches before I even new what a momentary switch was. I've now figured out that a debounced flipflop circuit will work to catch those momentary switches and make them a "normal" switch. The reason I need this is that I want to use the...
