    What's Your Typing Speed?

    Was averaging around 100wpm but accuracy wasn't that great(~20 mistakes over 3 minutes). Have been off my desktop for so long I'm not used to the full size mechanical keyboard it seems. Probably would type just as fast and be more accurate on my laptop keyboard these days...

    Do Industrial Grade Motherboards run in a seperate pack?

    Used to be that the MTBF was significantly higher,as they are designed to be used in an Enterprise environment and the tolerances on components demonstrates that. That being said, compared to enthusiast class motherboards, you'll be hard pressed to find a much of difference these days. Support...

    Liquid Cooling Question

    Generally speaking, it's a sealed system and as long as you've got some sort of biocide, there generally isn't a need to drain/refill the system (there are exceptions, of course, such as dyes which break down). On the other hand, most people who watercool are enthusiasts and end up...

    Building a gaming computer on a budget, need help?

    Few answers to questions: Windows 7 vs. 8.1: - As stated previously, windows 7 is definitely starting to show it's age. Windows 8 is definitely different from an interface standpoint, but as far as efficiency it's hard to argue against. The classic "start" menu is due to return in the coming...

    FS: Tamron SP 10-24mm (Canon Mount)

    That's just the filter that has dust on it, lens itself is spotless. I've only used this lens maybe twice in the past 3 or 4 months or so I've had it though so never felt the need to clean the filter...

    male 4-pin molex to female floppy adapter?

    Yeah, that's the only way I've them used, I had a fan controller a few years back that was all 3 pin outputs, and a few of those cables came as part of the included accessories.

    Caseless - RF emissions

    Entirely incorrect. Cases are (supposed to be) grounded to an earth ground through the power supply, which earths RF energy. However, even when not earthed, the computer case has the same effect as a faraday cage (frequency dependent, obviously). If you want further proof get yourself an RF FSM...

    Caseless - RF emissions

    Cases do provide some RF protection, and mostly are there to ensure FCC Part 15 compliance (even unintentional radiators like a PC). Even well designed enclosures can cause spurious emissions in excess of Part 15 operation though (big issue with microcontrollers, especially). That said, you are...

    FS: Tamron SP 10-24mm (Canon Mount)

    Right...got this as partial trade towards a 290X that I was selling, but now my friend who was going to buy it from me decided he didn't want a wide angle lens (to be clear, it was because of budget, not because of the lens). It's a Tamron Sp 10-24mm with a 77mm Hama UV Filter, canon mount...

    Spilled Beer On My Keyboard

    The majority of the IPA you find at the store is going to be anywhere from 9-30% water regardless, and there's almost no ferrous material inside of a membrane keyboard (aside from the guides typically used on Shift/Return/Space/Caps Lock/Tab keys). The oxidation process of Iron occurs at a very...

    suggest PSU wattage for this system please?

    There's one important question here, are we talking about analog signals or digital? If dealing solely with digital, your power supply doesn't matter as long as it's within ATX specs and has the necessary safeguards (OCP, OVP, etc.). For a system like that I'd venture away from the CX600M, yes...

    Spilled Beer On My Keyboard

    Distilled water is another viable option to clean out the keyboard, will take longer to evaporate/dry than isopropanol will, though it's usually a fair bit cheaper (although neither are expensive). Also eliminates the risks of isopropanol attacking some polymers.

    Palm Treo 650 SIM tray

    Out of stock there. Finding this specific part is going to be challenging if not impossible, as the Treo 650 is going on 10 years old at this point. 3d printing is an option with a good 3d printer, but you'd need to find something to design it off of. Your friend may be better off just...

    Bitcoin Mining

    Where, exactly, do these laws exist within the United States Code? Disregarding "virtual" currencies, there's a number of private currencies in circulation within the United States. U.S. laws only prohibit counterfeiting of U.S. Currency AFAIK. And bitcoin transactions are allowed in thousands...

    Hacking

    Facebook will not provide IP addresses without a subpoena. And an IP address is pretty much anonymous without a subpoena to your ISP. Also, Police departments generally take threats of violence fairly seriously, whether via an online account or in person...because it reflects poorly upon them if...

    bitcoin

    This seems to be what everyone forgets. As for mining... Not worthwhile to mine bitcoin on gpu anymore IMO, can profit on scrypt based currencies like litecoin since there aren't any ASIC'S out for them (yet) but soon enough gpu mining won't be worth it there either. Both of my 290X's paid...

    best card for 550$

    As far as bang for the buck it's quite hard to beat the R9 290 or R9 290X in that price range.
