My boss is renovating his basement and has hired me to do side work with technical aspects of the basement. In particular I installed a sweet network covering the basement (and 5 ports upstairs). How much to charge? Next is the A/V system. I'm speccing out a 7.1 system using the Pioneer...

My (fulltime) boss has hired me to install a wired and wireless network in his house (part time). This is my first network install (for money) and I'm wondering how I should charge or how much. Should I charge per drop? Per foot? A co-worker said they normally charge per foot and to look it...

My sister has an apple iBook from about 3yrs ago, 700mhz, 20gb Hd, 256mb memory. Its a beautiful computer and so soooo reliable. But its beginning to be a bit long in the tooth, so I was wondering what all upgrades I can do to it, aside from ram and bigger hd (which would help ALOT).

Is it possible to water cool without a pump or without any fans? seems like the water expanding due to temperature would be able to produce some flow.... And if not would it be possible to make some sort of heat driven form of motor to induce motion?
