My friend already has an existing combined ADSL modem & wifi access point, not sure of the exact make and model. Could I use the DWL-2100AP that you recommended only on my end connecting to his access point as a client and achieve the setup I'm after?

A friend has an existing 802.11g ADSL modem router and is willing to share his broadband line with me. I'm looking for a wifi router that can connect to my friend's existing wifi access point wirelessly as a client and provide web access to my machines, which I plan on connecting to my router...

Thanks for the replies, I'll most likely get the Nexus controller as the ability to turn the fans off is a must. The Rheobus looks good but I can't find it for sale in the UK. Just out of interest, is there a fan controller that has a smaller range of adjustment (say, down to 7V only) and...

I'm looking for a low cost four-channel fan controller with simple rotary controls that makes it simple to switch four 12V fans to 7V or 5V and back again. Any suggestions?

Sorry for hijacking your thread, but I was just about to start a similar topic... I'm building a rack mounted rig which will be used in harsh (read: hot) environments and as a result will need a few high speed fans to cool the thing. Noise isn't an issue at all. The server case I'm using...

How can open testbed results be compared to those inside a fully kitted out case? :rolleyes: This is a terrible review. The only cooler that was compared was a stock AMD one... aside from watercooling, what about comparing other, cheaper, high-end air coolers? The numbers in the review are...

Anyone?

Thanks for the explanation, but I don't think MIMO is for me; as I mentioned originally, I'm looking for an AP costing around £50 (~$70-80 once you take into account the higher prices over here) with the option of adding another by means of WDS if I need extended range, preferably without too...

Thanks for the replies and recommendations, although I haven't gota clue what MIMO is, how it compares to WDS, and which solution is better for me. All I want is a unit that'll simply work without any fuss if the times comes to add another AP to extend range. Speed isn't the be all and end...

I'm looking to buy a simple 802.11g access point with a view to getting another if the signal can't cover my entire house. I've had a look online and it seems that WDS/repeater features are a bit hit and miss, even when it comes to Linksys gear. So, are there any sub-£50 APs out there that...

I've just built a new machine running XP SP2. Everything's running well, no ad/spy/malware, minimal startup items etc. Only one annoying issue: upon clicking "Turn Off Computer" on the start menu Explorer freezes with an hourglass for around two minutes. The mouse can be moved but the whole...

Many thanks for the replies, but: There's a perfectly good RDP client already on the CE terminal, but the target machine is running XP Home. If there's a way of getting RDP working with an XP Home machine then that would be perfect, but I haven't managed to find any indication that it can. .

Anyone? I'm sure there must be something out there, I would have thought CE.Net would have been one of the most obvious platforms for a VNC port...

I need to control an XP Home machine using an x86 based HP t5520 thin client running WinCE.Net 4.2. Seeing as the PC is running XP Home, using the RDP client built in to CE is a non starter. I've found a working VNC server for CE, but no client as of yet. Is there one available that...

No need for that, I was only after a pic :) As I mentioned in my last post, I am aware that the waterblock was swapped for a lower profile version, but just don't see how the mounting hardware for it could fit under the DVD drive, and how the tubing was arranged either. It just doesn't look...
