I'm trying to get a gps guide for my dad's car, but i'm completely lost when it comes to this stuff. basically i want something with: - a color screen to show the map of where he's going - voiced directions (because he's old and even the color screen might not do it for him) - easy...

trying to model a case mod i wanna make in maya. thing is, i'm having a hard time finsing accurate dimentions for the parts i want. is there a site that has listed parts already made up for use in maya? i've seen case fan mockups in sketch-up, but i'm not using that.

Well i might as well start making a log of this, considering i've already done most of the mock-up work. I remember seeing pictures of iMacs being turned into fish tanks so i thought that'd be a neat thing to do as a starting off mod. I got my first dremel last christmas and i just used it a...

ok, here's the deal. i have two dell 2005fpw's. My graphics card is a GeForce 7800+ gtx oc. The problem is, the way my monitors are set up, the one on the right is the one i use the most, while the left one is extra space. so my set up is like this: ______________ ______________...

anyone know of a good online store that sells sheets of plexi glass for relatively cheap? i got a quote from my local plastics store and they said that six 18"x18" sheets of 3/16" plexi will run me about $67.50. i'm thinking that's kinda high, but i've never shopped for plexiglass before.

does anyone have a good site with a visual walkthrough of how to discharge a CRT monitor, and any information about taking one apart? ii'm planning on making one of those CRT > fish tank mods but i dont wanna, you know, DIE. i've read you can just take a wire with two alligator clips on the end...

i'm having trouble with one of my storage drives. when it was in the computer something happened to it that made it so not only could i not see what was inside it anymore, but when i rebooted, it wouldn't fully boot with the drive connected. i just recently set up new hard drives and i bought an...

recently, i donno exactly how, my logitech setpoint installed a firmware upgrade to my computer. now, the stuff didn't kick in for a few days, cause when stuff goes wrong on my comp i just log out instead of reboot, so the installed stuff was sitting dormant until one time when my comp flt...

ok, i have 4 300 gig maxtors i wanna tie together with Raid5, but at the same time i wanted to get a 5th to round it up to a TB. so far, finding a controller card for this seems nearly impossible, or at the very least, very very expensive. so i'm thinking of just using my onboard controller and...

is there such a thing? i'm wondering if there's a small application where you can input like 300 gigs of advertized hard drive space and get the calculated number of actual gigs your computer sees using binary... i know that 4x250 gig drives give me like 980 gigs and not a REAL terabyte, but i...

For purley storage purposes (meaning videos, mp3s and pictures), which would be the best type of drive to use, SATA 150 or SATA 3gb/s? 3gb/s seems faster at first glance, but a friend said 3gb/s is all most motherboards can handle at max or something. I dont need raptor speed, just something...

i've been told across the board that Westen Digital HD's are the best, but what about the other brands? maxtor, seagate, samsung... how do you rate them? if you could, list your favorite brands (or least favorite) in order of preference, #1 being best and then downward. also, if there are any...

Hey, i've been looking to buy the Ergotron Neo-Flex LCD arm, model 45-174-300, for a while now, but the $80-100 each price tag is a bit too rich for me. i found the smaller model, the 45-160-300, on ebay for less, but the edge of my desk is kind of far from where i normally keep my monitor, so i...
