Tap Water + Isopropyl Alcohol + Zerex + UV Blue. I drank all my distilled water before I could put it in my loop. :(

My old 1.25ghz powerbook g4 often burns my crotch-region; at approximately Fahrenheit 120 for the case exterior.

Yes you can. I recently performed this very feat, but it was mind-bogglingly difficult. There are no fewer than 30 screws to pull. (Of many, many different varieties) Worst of all is the hidden latch that keeps the keyboard area attached to the rest of the machine. Requires some kind of picking...

I have always and will always recommend HSU subs. Get the best one you can afford. No matter which one you get, you've made a wise investment. I don't know what kind of onboard sound your computer has. The past few years have seen board manufacturers including phenomenal audio chips on their...

Oh. My. God. I am so stupid. When I wrote that HSU subs aren't powered, I failed to remember that I plugged mine into the wall. The damned audio cable I used is as big as the ones powering my speakers, and I completely forgot about the power cable. (got confuuuused) So yes, the HSUs are...

HSU subs are not powered. They are driven by an external amp.

You hear this a lot in the audio world (more than you should) but the difference is "night and day." You really, really, should have a sub to accompany bookshelf speakers. Anyway, you can get away with quite a bit at college, volume-wise. Nobody wants to be the nagging neighbor that asks you to...

ah sorry i didnt read carefully! By all means, get a single powered studio monitor.

actually, many companies offer dedicated center channels, usually calibrated to reproduce dialogue more accurately than the mains or surrounds. Here is a very nice one. http://www.ascendacoustics.com/pages/products/speakers/cmt340c/cmt340c.html

click the screen all the way at the top, or alternatively, hit the menu button at the bottom left (the silkscreen button, not the physical one). Should bring up a menu that has Delete as one of the optons. Hit that and it should tell you the amount of free space remaining.

if it has 8mb of storage, it's a visor deluxe. if it has only two, it's a regular visor. It's in very good condition!

Nonsense! Interference comes from electromagnetic waves inducing currents on these wires. These don't get blocked by anything, but if you ground some kind of metallic shield, it will naturally oppose these outside waves (unless they are constant.) Electrical tape would just be decoration.

That advice is extremely... suspect. Tin foil hats don't block out the mind rays unless they're grounded somehow.

Your soundcard would connect to a receiver or preamp and amp combo, which would then power these bookshelves. The soundcard by itself barely supplies enough power to drive headphones directly.

I love my HK, and I think it can run those towers. Check the sig.

kapow! http://www.shentech.com/crlasbsoblau.html

This room has bad chi.

Sounds like the TCC TC-750 is what you're looking for, no more no less, according to the website's speil, anyway. I know of a few places with VERY high standards for ripping vinyl, and many many people there swear by the X-Fi. If that's out of your price range, just get the best sound card you...

McIntosh pairs all their stuff with discs loaded with well-recorded classical music. In fact, if you check Oink (and if you don't know what this is, just ignore this entire post), you'll find one of these little gems encoded and tagged quite nicely by yours truly. Hope you like FLAC.

And he means go look it up on newegg.

bookshelves are not intended to provide any bass response. that's why they need an external sub. those towers will stand up well on their own.

Audigy platinum working here on an A8N... X-Fi had crackling issues.

I really love my HSU... and they have models that fit nicely in all budgets.

The problem with active noise-cancelling headphones is that there is a delay between the arrival of the external noise and the initiation of the phase-shifted frequency intended to destructively interfere with it. This means that they are pretty ineffective at cancelling out noises of changing...

Virgin megastore manhattan carries them... as does B&H downtown.

The IT department at my university dispenses verizon branded Treos almost exclusively. The 650p was great, 700p was a bit of a lemon, and I don't know much about the 750p, but what I've heard so far is good. That's my recommendation. Blackberries don't even have touchscreens. How "smart" can...

werent the 595s just recently discontinued?

does your budget of 500 include purchasing a receiver?

it doesnt even have memory! Everyone knows memory adds 6dB.

I mostly troll on this forum. The only times I ever pop my head up are to say 1) do not purchase Creative products and 2) Do not purchase a Thermaltake Bigwater or any derivative thereof. Stories of tragedy regarding the bigwater abound.

I 100% guarantee you will regret the Thermaltake Bigwater. And not to be a bother, but I'm sure that case has pre-drilled holes for watercooling, you just had to hit them with a blunt object and the covers would snap right off. Good first foray into watercooling, though. And good choice of...

I think your second DIMM might be in the wrong slot for dual-channel.

This is the same type of fan (though much smaller) that is used in many oven hood designs for kitchen ranges. In my experience, they are intensely loud and move very little air, but the situation may be very different on this scale.

reminds me of that old show Space: Above and Beyond

Ignore above posts. The front I/O panel on a Platinum (X-Fi or otherwise) enables you to amplify line-level signals like those from an electric guitar. EDIT: However, the input distorts horrendously at medium-high levels, so yes, you MAY want to go with something more professional. At lower...

I have to agree with Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines (Hotel mission) No level has kept me 100% goosebumped for the ENTIRE DURATION without ever having the possibility of losing life. And every time I play it it's the same thing, as soon as you climb up that sewer and the music starts...

a thermaltake block will develop cracks because they actually use plexi or something like that. any decent block manufacturer will use something strong like lexan. no cracking that.

Down firing means the actual diaphragm thingy that's moving the air is facing downward. Front firing... guess. Long throw means that that same diaphragm thingy is going to move farther than most other subs (a few centimeters maybe). Subs almost always have onboard controls for crossover and...

If you can find it on ebay, the Sony PS-X600 is nice and inexpensive. Quartz timing, so you don't need to do the whole strobe thing to get the RPM right. And the tonearm movement is completely automated. Supersweet. No amp, but my reciever has phono in, yours might too...

Umm... any creative card with a front panel (anything Platinum) will accept 1/4" in. (Though if you crank up the input knob all the way on the Audigy Platinum it's HORRIBLY HORRIBLY distorted. At medium level it sounds fine.) Maybe the X-fi platinum is better in this respect, but I wouldn't know...
