I snagged a personal water dispenser powered by an unknown # of watts peltier that was on clearance for $9. I used it once for my drinks but the bottle only holds like 1/2g of liquid and that's easily used up while sitting at the computer. And walking up and down the stairs is healthier. I...

You know I really thought a new computer and a faster hard drive and a fresh install was the answer but nope, it's still as slow as my AMD K6, hell even that boots faster! I'd say it takes about 8-12 bar passes to load, but once it's loaded its all bloop, bloop, beep, welcome you've got mail...

One day it just stopped working. Lights are still on, etc etc. Only one of the three computers are able to get internet through it. It is wired. The only reason it is able to get onto the internet it because the router for some odd reason turned into a coupling, just bridging the gap between...

My girlfriends in love with Gir and I needed a guinnea pig for learning how to cut detailed windows and detailed etching and the try out some different paint techniques and stuff. I began by stripping my first paintjob. I printed out a poster size version of gir, cut the picture out, marked...

I'm a little stuck here. We're trying to run cable to 2 new rooms. After running the cable there will be a total of 6 devices using the cable. Is it alright to put an amp right at the begining and then split off each amp'd connection like I have in the picture? the room 1 and 2, i don't care...

I'm building a new computer for my mom. Since it's going to be an AMD computer I've got little knowledge of a good motherboard. If it was an intel build I would've just went with an Asus or something. I'm looking for a sub-$75 motherboard, doesn't need pci-express. Preferably a board to house...

At least I think I have a can of useless bondo laying around. Well, I wanted to do a front facia mod for a long time, and now I have some time, money, and tools. Not exactly what I want to do, I really want to strip off the entire grill part, but I don't have the time, and supplies to sand...

I just scored a free Compaq computer, old, but well kept installing XP on it. I don't have the money to buy another wireless card, and for what the computer is going to be doing, (folding and storage) it's not worth the money. My computer i'm on now has a wireless super G car in it and an...

I painted the PSU and CD-rom of my girlfriends computer after cutting windows in both of them. I primed, and painted both. They took longer than ussual to dry and the paint even after it was hard enough scratched right down to the metal. Paint scraping off I've had happen, but primer? never have...

I got two WD caviar 15.3 GB harddrives. I was thinking of using the first one I got as a dead drive where the arm twitched to the activity of my main hard drive, and also lit up, have it sit in a window i would cut in the top of my PC and a window in the drive itself(duh). But since I just got...

I just bought one today and god damn, best investment I've ever made. It's my MP3 player, porn carrier(lol not really), computer gaming on the go device, and movie player....I spent more time with it today than i did with my girlfriend...she's jealous I think. The analog stick is pure genius...

Not entirely done, I ran out of primer so the bottom part of the computer comes last. I use Plastikote Mettalic Blue and clear coat. The side panels took a while cause they had the original, plus a coat of my previous mod. Then someone sprayed them with a bit of black paint after I let the paint...

I plan to cut a window in the top of my girlfriends computer. I'm leaning toward and round edge rectangle and then cut a window in her cd-rom in the shape of two dolphins and etch the details in the plexi. The other route is cut a dolphin window, but i'm not skilled enough. I own a dremel...

First attempt at painting my case. I had 3 cans of auto laquer and 3/4 can of high temp engine paint. I thought, why not get a nice paint job going. Well after I was done the two side panels I noticed I was running low on engine paint...I used the white laquer on the front bezel and made a...

I just repaired windows and now the windows partition is the G: drive instead of the C:. I need to change this because it's screwing up program installations! How do I change it back!?

I just recently copied my entire C: partition from my Western Digital 80GB 8mb cache hard drive to my 40GB Deskstar HD, I booted off the deskstar and it booted in 3.5 bars, but got to the windows welcome screen and just sat there, probably because it didn't copy properly or needed to be...

This started a while ago, I primed my system and noticed that it would only use a max of 50% of the cpu, before it would take up 99%+. No program no matter how intensive will use the other 50%. I can take two cpu intensive program and set on for cpu00 and the other for cpu01 to make it 100%...
