Yeah, the ones that go through the rubber grommets and attach to the sides of a 3.5" HD. When I get the chance, I can get one of them out and take a picture (although we're probably talking about the same thing).
Hey folks!
I am looking to buy either some of the custom mounting screws used to mount hard drives for my Antec P180 case, or the full screw bag itself. Maybe drive rails too.
Right now I'm looking to install another hard drive in one of the many drive bays. But I lost the screw bag, and Antec...
What do you guys think of the Cooler Master Storm keyboards? It's $80, and tenkeyless with Cherry Blue keyswitches. Supposedly it's made by the same OEM as Filco keyboards. It's covered in logos though...i prefer a more minimalist design, but i can live with it if i'm getting a good deal :D
I'm...
Thanks all for the replies!
Yeah, I was a bit unsure about the difference between the keyswitch types. They have a guide on there, but i didn't get much from it (maybe didn't read it in depth). I guess naturally i'm tempted to go with the $89 model, but a $109 one would be worth the difference...
I've got this Apple keyboard (the non-EU version), but it's currently having problems. So time to look for a new one.
What I'm looking for in a keyboard:
- "compact" (no numpad): I've found i really like this form factor because it's simple and doesn't take up much space
- USB: I've got...
I just built a new system with a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P and Phenom II X4 840. Everything seems to work great, except some of the USB ports act a bit erratic.
The board has two pairs of USB 2.0 ports on the board itself (I/O shield), as well as two pairs of USB headers onto the board (one of...
Thanks for the reply! Why do you say that their efficiency is a concern? Is there anything I should be worried about other than the fact that I'm consuming a little more electricity (slightly greater power bill as well as environmental concerns if one is so inclined)?
Both of them are 80 Plus...
My system has an Antec Truepower II 480W from 2007 or so. It had been working fine, but I've recently had stability problems. Popped the PSU open and yep, leaking caps :(
So I need to get a replacement. Here's my system specs:
- AMD Phenom x4 840 (95W TDP)
- Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P (basic AM3+...
Hi:
I have a system with a Gigabyte GA-945GCMX-S2 (socket 775/Core2Duo) board. Recently I started having some occasional issues with the system freezing or resetting itself. Tried doing a bunch of things, didn't completely solve it (although it seems to be stable for now.)
I noticed that there...
Hi:
I have some Seagate hard drives that should all be within warranty...a 7200.11 1.5TB internal drive, Momentus 7200.4 laptop drive, and two 500GB FreeAgent Pro drives. These should all be within warranty; the internal drives were bought within the last couple of years and the FreeAgent...
Hey all!
I need to generate a CSV file that contains a list of Exchange users (email addresses) and the distribution groups that they are members of. Apparently you can generate a CSV file with a whole bunch of information about your Exchange users, but not the groups that they are members...
Upon further testing, it looks like this issue is mostly only present on my system (Macbook with Broadcom wireless card). I tried a couple of other machines (Thinkpad with Intel wireless, older iMac G4) and they do not seem to exhibit the issue of dropped packets when I'm experiencing it on my...
Hey all:
As of recently, I've been having issues with my Linksys WRT54GS router's wireless function. It has worked well for over a year, but I've recently started to have issues.
First, the router will have higher ping and packet loss than what they should be. For instance...ping to the...
Hey all:
My old Apple wired slim keyboard (model A1243) recently died, so I went to the store and bought a similar and newer model (A1242) that does not have a keypad (only because this model was on sale for a good price.)
It works fine with my MacBook running Snow Leopard, but I have issues...
Hey all:
I have an assignment for my data structures/algorithms course where I am to develop an animated visualization of various sorting algorithms, and possibly hash tables as well. The thing is...I have practically no experience with regard to GUI programming: I've toyed around with Swing a...
Hey all:
I'm trying to write an SQL update statement for a project. There are three tables that I am working with here: "Books", "Transactions", and "Includes". "Includes" connects the other two tables by the "Order_ID" and "Book_ID" keys.
What I am trying to do here is set the...
Hey all:
I just finished a programming assignment (written in C) for one of my courses. The assignment involves running sorting algorithms and measuring the runtime of each. Precision is important here, as many of these will complete in a fraction of a second since I am sorting fairly small...
Hey all:
I'm trying to figure out how to set up Samba sharing on OSX for a "share-only" user without sharing everything. The only circumstance under which Samba sharing will work is with my administrator account, and when I connect I see all of my drives plus all of my shared folders; it will...
Hey all:
I have an iPhone that I have been using with my desktop PC until recently. I use the "manually manage music and videos" option to choose what music I want to put onto the device. However, when I connect the phone to my laptop, it tells me that the phone is synced with another...
Hey all:
I bought an iPhone 3G yesterday and it's pretty awesome! However, I'm getting poor EDGE service and am trying to figure out what's causing it.
I live in a college town in Oklahoma that does not have 3G service, so I'm stuck with EDGE. I was certainly aware of this and figured that...
Wow...74 cycles in less than 2 months? What all do you do with your MBP...do you have to constantly use it for extended periods of time in a place with no power outlet or something?
Whoever designed the site is a complete idiot for doing that. Why can't they implement the session ID using cookies? Web browsers have supported them for, what....10 or 15 years?
Nevermind, I'm dumb. I just found out that the previous-gen Macbook Pros have both FW400 AND FW800.
Now the problem is finding a FW400 <-> FW400 cable in this tiny college town. :)
Greetings all:
One of my friends has a MacBook Pro with a Geforce 8600m graphics chip, which has apparently crapped out. (Black screen on built-in and external monitors.) It needs to go to Apple for a warranty replacement, and he has some important files on the hard drive that he would like...
I bought one of these from OfficeMax a few months ago when they were selling for $210+tax new. The monitor works well and the image quality is good.....it's a glossy screen, which you might not like. Mine has a few quirks...it emits a quiet high-pitched noise when the monitor is in standby (it...

Greetings! I am selling my Sigma DP1 digital camera. In case you don't know what the Sigma DP1 is, it is a point-and-shoot digital camera that has an APS-C-size Foveon sensor like those found in many Digital SLR cameras. Because of the fact that it has a sensor that is several...
The GeForce 9400 graphics chip in the current-gen MacBooks (both aluminum and "White") is on par with the Radeon X1600 in the older-gen MacBook Pros...which are probably what you would get for $1000.
You can get a new "White" MacBook with the 9400 for $999, or a refurb aluminum model for...
I don't know what's up with Mwave...I thought they were a good retailer and wouldn't stoop to infomercial tactics (aka "YOU HAVE 60 MINUTES").
It looks like a lot of Best Buy stores are also selling the same Eee model new for $180 + tax (some reported lower.)...

I am selling a brand new and sealed Shure I2C-M headset. It is essentially the exact same thing as the Shure E2c in-ear headphones, except with a microphone added. The headset has a 4-pin connector that will work on any device with a regular headphone jack, and will also enable...
I'm a college student who lives in a university housing complex and I use the university's network to access the Internet. I have a wireless router hooked up to my connection in spite of the fact that we really aren't supposed to...but from what I've seen they don't enforce it. Looking right now...
I've been getting numerous spam emails from two mail list servers (related) hosted on a somewhat well-known webhost in the US. Even over a month after reporting these emails to the host as well as its (*very* well-known) colocation facility/netblock owner, nothing has happened. (I've been...
