Hello folks, does anyone know where one can get a small spectrum analyzer that I could either mount in a 5.25" bay or 2 or something of similar size that could be modded in using custom mounts. I would like it to be independent of the system taking in only power and audio in. The more bling...

Greetings! Is it just me, or does Creative assume that consumers no longer need internal analog/digital inputs? I currently own an Audigy Platinum card and was looking into the X-Fi for an upgrade but I noticed that in review photos of the X-Fi there is only a single analog (aux) input. Is...

Hello Folks, I am hoping to buy an Apple 30" Cinema LCD before the end of this year (hoping for a price drop), and I would like to get a second monitor in portrait orientation that will fit in nicely along side the apple so the two would match (from my calculations, it would be a 18.2"). My...
