A friend of mine did what Kueller suggested. He used shapelock and a surplus lamp arm. It's no humanscale product, but it works well.

I'm looking for a Kindle DX because of its large e-ink screen. If there's any bezel choice I'd pick graphite. Salvage Laptop I'm interested in an Intel quadcore system in poor condition of any brand, as long as it "works" with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. i5 or i7 quadcore cpu (eg...

It is a case modding part, it is beyond like adding more ram. I did it the way I did it because it was the least expensive. A USB external which happens to be slot load only cost me $20 vs an $80+ drive listed as a "laptop replacement part." The rep points out that you can buy the adapter, while...

I bought an external USB samsung slot load drive SE-T084M. I harvested the drive from the case and connected it to sata. It uses mini sata for power, so you'll need an adapter. I got the adapter by cutting it from my spare antec isk300 and soldering a molex to the end of it. I left the face...

Crimp, soldering, heatshrink, twist caps, whatever you want to do to make your own cable. Each pin is rated for ~10-13A and each wire ~16-22A. With four wires you could carry over 700W. I haven't done this specific mod myself, but I keep the connectors from dead power supplies to do things like...

I recently just played through the original stalker again using the complete mod. Replaying the old ones is still fun. I signed up for the Survarium alpha when I was trying to see if there were any simple coop mods for stalker.

Yeah, that's not a Lian Li http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20090312-New-Case-Rocketfish-RFFULLTWR-Lian-Li-special- http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1279397 http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=550341 http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75568 Those RocketFish...

I would say that's a RocketFish as well. It looks like a PC-A71B lacking its front door and hinge brackets because someone removed them to suit their window mod. That case did not have external 3.5" bays, but the RocketFish did.

If that's absolutely what I needed I would do that. Heatgun or solder suck. There's no silicon or some package involved so it can't really go wrong. Just don't melt the plastic. Digikey or mouser may have black or other colors.

That'd be the answer. DC-DC is more efficient. If anyone can find such a device meant for their laptop. It would provide a boost from 12V to 19V for several amps. The laptop can't be directly plugged into the car's 12V because it is not a constant voltage (alternator) and not high enough voltage...

They're certainly still relevant processors, even if no longer TOTL. I sent a couple PMs.

It's the last piece missing as of now ;) The memory arrived yesterday. The motherboard I bought from a member here just arrived a moment ago. It is not critical, but I don't want this stuff just sitting around all through June.

I have missed two that initially asked for $170 and one at $180

I'm upgrading my whole system from Core 2 stuff. Now I only need the processor. I'm not really looking for a particular pedigree, I'm only doing air cooling. I don't need a waterblock or heatsink. I'm checking threads here everyday, but I've been too slow to get the ones posted. I'd appreciate...

I cut up and sleeved the wires in the stock psu of my Lian Li PC-Q12B. Photo is rushed since this is my torrent box and I wanted it back online asap. I still need to dim/replace the power led so I will get back to it!

You would think so, but LAN parties never have the man power or training for this kind of micromanagement. I'm not sure why they pick an arbitrary number and think anybody will know what it means and take actual precautions to not exceed it. The fact is every attendee with a desktop is going to...

*Mr. Plinkett* Never trust a person who can't white balance their photographs.

Plugging in an LED is insignificant next to the power of the Force. But yes, 10-11A would be it.

Apologies for the inaccuracy, but I can no longer edit the thread title. I was not fully aware of the significance of it being hard/software compatible vs actually manufactured by IBM. When I was first taking photos and creating the thread I had not powered it up yet to see "DTK". And I assumed...

Fear not, DDR3 is a standard and both components feature it. Marketing didn't do their job but the engineers did. Newegg gave you compatible ram.

If the chair doesn't have a power system then a capacitor would certainly be necessary to discharge inductive recirculation. This same behavior would happen on the battery in a car, so it depends how raw this system is or if the designed capacitor is missing. It appears power seats can use 25A...

I would start by looking up the part numbers and try to find electrical wiring diagrams. They would help indicate which wire is which without having to risk damaging anything. Also it would help to know how exactly the motors are controlled. If it's all integrated within the chair then wiring a...

I run a dedicated seedbox from home and it keeps my ratio above 1.0 on a few private trackers. Thank you for more free advice this time.

I would gladly accept an invite, thank you.

That's awesome! Yeah this thing has 7400 logic chips in it (primitive enough), building your own "cards" for it looks very possible. I'd love to put a hdd controller in this and a network interface. I need to go out and find an XT of my own. Or find the proper person to ask on how to have this...

I found an XT keyboard in here! I brought an RCA cable today and have just powered it up for fun. It still works! I've added photos to the OP.

Thank you for your offers, if I can get parts I'll definitely try them out in the XT. I'm not currently in the Bay Area. I was at Weird Stuff awhile ago and they seemed to have gotten rid of a lot of older cards. Maybe they just moved the aisle. I have never used 10base2 before and don't really...

I didn't know XT and AT were electrically different! I thought the 5-pin DIN meant they were all the same. Supposedly some Model M's will work, but at least now there will be no surprises. Someone designed a converter using a PIC12. I suppose I could try and secretly borrow a floppy drive out of...

*It has come to my attention that it is important to point out that this is a clone, and not directly manufactured by IBM* This is pretty cool so I thought I'd share. Most of us weren't into computers when these were around, or not even born yet (like me). Our actual lab workstations are modern...

I need several working PATA IDE laptop hard drives (2.5-inch) of ANY capacity Then I'm having trouble with using 2.5" in the search tool.

HP ram for HP laptop and Dell ram for Dell laptop. :rolleyes:

SODIMMs and 2.5" drives sell very easily; they'd go fast on craigslist. There's not going to be an elegant solution for gaming hardware in that case. Good luck with jury-rigging.

Yeah it could be a "backwards hat on a donkey mark 8" connector, why does it matter? You pay more for the connector than the entire device (it was free, wasn't it?).

PCI-e provides up to 75W. Dual 6-pin PEG is 150W. 225W, that's already half of that power supply just from the video card. If your card ever draws more than 350W the wires themselves will melt if there's only one molex adapting that 2nd 6-pin. Technically it should only want up to 6.2A through...

If everything else checked out and that cosmetic is all that is wrong with it then just skip the connector. Solder the wires directly to the PCB. My understanding of this device is that this connection doesn't need to be plugged and unplugged on a daily/weekly basis.

If games in a compact space are the priority for this I would say sell that stuff and get a console. If building something is the priority you won't get much gaming with just 90W. That chassis was specifically designed for a business/media use since it has a VESA mount. It could still make a...
