I'm looking for an Intel 10/100/1000 PCIe based Network Card for my homeserver. Message me with details if you have one you're interested in selling.

Received mine as well!

I've considering repurposing my old HTPC hardware (AM2+ Mobo/Phenom II 940 (125w)/4gb DDR2) memory into a NAS, can anyone recommend a good low power CPU replacement to swap into the board to cut down on heat/power usage in a NAS? Thanks

My IBM Model M "clicky" keyboard circa the late '80s is a dream to type on. The tactile feedback blows most modern keyboards away!

Valid point, although any box I'd be hardwiring into a bridge with ethernet is also going to need a power outlet nearby too. Any performance thoughts?

Considering you can buy DD-WRT flashable routers and bridge them to an existing wireless network connecting up to 4 or 5 devices for $30 these days, can anyone think of any good reasons to buy a $20-30 single machine USB or PCI wireless adapter instead? How do you think performance compares...

Not likely to work but if you want to move forward make sure you check the all of the physical dimensions of the new LCD. Just because they're both 15.6" screens doesn't mean they have the same form factor or bezel size.

I'd suggest copying everything off the hard drive the first time you boot it up as there's no guarantee 15 year old rotational drives will power/spin up an indefinite number of times (if they work at all) and it'd be a shame to needlessly loose that data if you value it.

Chances are good an Expresscard adapter is using USB through the Expresscard slot as well so you really aren't any better off using one of those versus an external USB parallel dongle

You could probably pick up a used Windows Mobile Smartphone off Craigslist that would be cheaper and faster than most "traditional" non-phone PDAs you'll find which are likely several years old at this point.

I've been having some BSODs, small data corruption issues and general system oddities on my IBM T60 WinXP laptop. I ran Chkdsk and noticed I've got 16kb of bad sectors on my Hard Drive. I'm not certain whether I'm looking at a System or a Hard drive failure in progress but seeing any bad sectors...

Can MCE do upscaling or any external plugins do so?

Any idea of this will be available online for the 90% of the country that doesnt have access to a Fry's?

If you're concerned with quieting your HTPC at any point, I wouldn't go with a case much smaller than a NSK2400 as once you start getting smaller from that point you start loosing the ability to use standard (quieter) ATX PSUs and have to use smaller (louder) fans to cool your case. Its also...

Is the rebate not loading for anyone else?

If you really want to go cheap and have the space, go on craigslist and pickup a used 21" Trinitron CRT for $50.

I've got an oldschool Antec 1080AMG if you consider that a full tower, it'd be a pain to ship but make an offer if you're interested

I'm not working in anything code related this summer but I would like to keep my coding skills sharp and keep learning after a year of CS theory and application courses. Any one have any suggestions or resources for ways to improve my coding skills on my own? So far I've mainly worked in java...

FYI, Apple store is currently selling warrantied 30gb Refurbs for $200

I sure wish they would offer some sort of discount on the NSK2400, I don't want or need all the bling of the fusion. Anyone have any ideas on a cheaper source than the $80-90 most places are selling it online. I'm kicking myself for not buying it when it debuted and could be found with coupons...

Be careful using standard ports for unusual purposes. You would hate for someone to come along, see an unplugged ethernet cable with a port beside it and end up hooking your router to mains voltage.

I got mine for $25 when OD was clearing them out a few months ago :D

If money is an issue look at the new Antec NSK 2400, I've heard good things about it and am looking into getting one myself. EDIT: Just noticed your wanting to stick with ATX, the NSK2400 is mATX

Check out the Nokia 770 for optimal web browsing on the go

not ME, the horror!

GB-PVR Hauppauge PVR150 Nvidia 7300GS Works great!

Just FYI, PCI-X is generally a high end workstation/server expansion slot while PCI Express (PCIe) is what you probably meant

I'm going to have to agree with none of the above and say a quality CRT HDTV. It may be one heavy mother but they generally have great PQ.

I'd be hesitant to pickup a Quadro for simply gaming, the enhancements for productivity apps like CAD and 3D modelling have been know to slightly reduce performance in games. I'd definately pick up the corresponding consumer version if I had the option .

I just picked up a T60 which lenovo made the brilliant decision to drop the S-video port after having been on Thinkpads for the past 10 years. What options do I have for video out without buying a $400 Advanced Dock I'd have to lug around? I looked into an old Margi DVD-to-Go card which has...

If anyone is still interested in this offer, good luck, It made the rounds through all the major deal sites a week or two ago so I'd guess 99% of the Staples and ODs are OOS by now

Speaking of cheap priced games, with the demise of the "preowned" PC game section at EB and GS, what other options have yall turned to beat retail pricing?(Besides bit-torrent...)

PC Version, I'm not BL carries Console games anyway

Confirmed at my local BL

I recently picked up a salvage Antec Overture case for $10 from a local surplus store to use as a HTPC case but its pretty banged up. The chrome finish on the plastic front bezel and had some black scratches and the over black finish of the metal parts of the case is fairly scratched and nicked...

bump, still looking

I'm looking for a copy of BF2, CD or DVD versions are fine as long as a valid CD-key is included. Feel free to send me your terms, Thanks!
