    for sale: computer stuff

    Might want to change your first post then, as it's still listed as $150. Take it as a bump.

    Motherboards and produced heat

    While I will agree to an extent that the board itself generally doesn't get hot enough to worry about, all the current going to the processor runs through the traces on the board. All the current that the chip needs runs through parts of the board; there is no direct connection to the chip that...

    FS: Asus X1900XTX PCI-E

    I believe he is referring to www.tigerdirect.com

    Xbox 360 faceplates

    Well I think you answered your own question. And with online generally being cheaper than B&M, add a couple more pounds, and you've got the likely price.

    LOL, CC Lighting, experience...

    Glad the cellophane that was mentioned helped get closer to the color you wanted. I've yet to come across a red CCFL that was red. They are either too orange or too pink. I'll have to try that trick with the couple sets I've got lying around.

    Buying HDD (750gb or higher)

    No problem. Just seemed like there wasn't a lot of action going on in the thread so I'd try and help you find something new if no one had anything they could give up. There were a few WD and Seagate 1Tb deals going on in the past couple weeks, but by the time I got to this thread it was too late.

    Buying HDD (750gb or higher)

    I'm looking to pick up a few more for my server myself, but have other priorities that need to come first. Here's a 1TB though: Hitachi 1tb 7200rpm $87.99 Free shipping There was just a good deal on the WD Black 1TB for 109$, which has the 5 year warranty afaik, but that just ended...

    Game Coding

    No problem guys. You can find all the documentation you need on Sun's website as well. Just google java and whatever you are looking for will usually get you an answer too. There are a lot of good books. Your local libraries might even have some. There's always online tutorials somewhere I'm...

    Game Coding

    Java Downloads From Sun You can get the basics there. I would go with the basic JDK unless you need something extra. With that you have all you need. You can code in notepad and compile and run via cmd line. If you want an IDE there are plenty to choose from. You've got Eclipse, NetBeans...

    Artwork with a type writter

    That is insane. Wow. I would love to find some of his work as well. Here is a youtube vid about him and his work. Wow, it is a slow process. He really was quite amazing. Paul Smith 1976 Video Edit: Going over it again, the thought he had to go through to plan out each and every bit is...

    Express Card to PCI adaptor?

    Plus with the one you posted you're not going to get much performance out of a regular PCI or PCI-e x1 slot. That's a lot of money to drop for quite frankly abysmal performance. The Asus would be a decent choice I suppose if your REALLY needed it, but still a lot of money to drop instead of...

    Who has an Antec 300?

    Well for the price I was quite impressed with it having paid under 40$ brand new retail. The side panels are going to move around a bit more than other cases but that has to do with the way they attach to the case. Many cases have the flat panel with pokey things that slide into notches all...

    Who has an Antec 300?

    Just did a build in this for my little brother, and I must say, it is probably one of the best cases you can get sub-50$ new. I picked it up sub-40, and was quite impressed with it. There's plenty of spots for fans, has a spot on the side for tucking cables, and everything has thumbscrews...

    What OS should I go with?

    After all this time people still propagate poor/(mis) information about Vista... Go with whatever OS you are most comfortable using, and that which satisfies your needs and requirements first. Without specs its hard to just flat out recommend Vista, but I have had less issues on Vista than on...

    Convert MP4 to DVD format

    I've used ConvertXtoDVD with pretty good success for just about every format I've come across. .mp4 is one of the supported formats so it should work fine for that. You've got to buy it though unless you enjoy a watermark on everything you burn. ConvertXtoDVD

    My computer supposedly "connects" but i cant open any pages...

    Are you running a firewall? Perhaps you clicked deny or its equivalent and stopped your web browser from having access to the internet. Also, if AIM is working fine and can connect, I would highly doubt any issue with the ISP, which in that case Comcast doesn't have to help you. They...

    WTB: Laptop HDD

    That's why I grabbed 4. I needed more than one for a couple computers so it worked for me, as the shipping didn't increase with the amount ordered. $9 for one, or $9 for a few.

    A/B switch box

    If your just using Composite/RCA or S-Video you should be able to grab something like Video Selector Switch. Plug all your systems to this box, then plug the box into the ports on the tv. I had this one from a long time ago and worked fine when I had my ps2, xbox, ps1, and nintendo hooked up.

    mini ITX motherboard

    There's actually a bigger following for mini ITX than one would think. Newegg has 26 boards that I counted, not including open box. These range from extremely slow geodes and via's to mobos supporting Core2Quad's and Extreme chips. So yes, there is a far far range of what mini-ITX performance...
