No one knows?:confused:

Okay, this is really weird. Anyone know a lot about video drivers? I installed a few new drives in my Shuttle ST20G5 recently, and installed Windows 2000 Professional on the new boot drive. I then proceeded to install the new ATI Catalyst drivers, first the ones for the onboard Xpress 200...

I want to upgrade to the highest capacity drives I can (don't tell me about price/capacity ration, this is for a SFF, I can't fit in more drives). Right now I'm looking at the Seagate 500GB 7200.9. I've been checking press releases, and no one seems to have anything significantly larger...

The whole front 5 1/4" bays, like the CMStacker. Hard drives can mount farther back, possibly beneath a blowhole, vertically. Design a matching 3 1/2" adapter in case you want to use a floppy/ZIP/whatever. Power pre-routed to a "power strip" that runs down the side of the drive cage, so you...

Acrylic: cheaper, lighter, easier to keep in place because it's lighter, less breakable, and fewer little sharp pointy bits in the remote possibility it does get broken. Velcro means you can take it off when there's no danger about. Plus, if it doesn't look quite as good, maybe that'll...

Well apparently no one thought my Acer was worth protecting. :rolleyes: But I forged out on my own, used Velcro to stick a piece of acrylic on it, and it works great. It's playable through it, and if I'm really not pleased with the picture, it comes off in about 10 seconds. Either way...

I've got an 8ms Acer LCD to use as my designated LANparty monitor (I prefer CRTs when I have a choice). Obviously I can't toss it around as carelessly as CRTs, since it's not glass, it's whatever LCDs are made of. I've considered the Geargrip LCD shield, but I don't particularly need any...

Don't bother, unless you're really scared of painting. It's a painted Keytronic.

Needs video/power port holes so it can run closed.

So they put the power buttons on top. Great. Now, why exactly aren't the USB and sound ports there, instead of stupidly on the side?

Check out Restricted Area. It's kind of like a post-apocalyptic Diablo II, and in addition to finding weapons and implants with special abilities, you can then take them to the NPC and get them tweaked in different ways for cash. Alternately, get Diablo II and the Eastern Sun 3.00 mod. It...

Why not just get the ST20G5 or the SN25P?

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html Scroll down the the "killprocess" command.

The tiny F-keys and the strangely positioned arrows look like they'd take quite a bit of getting used to.

I am slightly curious why a cell phone company needs 2 DVD drives.

Needs one of these in to complete the look. http://www.directron.com/dhmg48.html If you need a burner, put a black one in the second bay.

All the USB cables I see are 6' and up in length. There are the retractable ones, but I can't tell if any of those are rated for 2.0. Also, I am not sure if it's good for those retractable cables to be at one length pretty much permanently, since they're generally marketed for laptops and such...

If you want the molex connectors to glow, actually make them glow! Why not just put LEDs inside them? I've seen a few tutorials; I'm sure you can find them. Beats UV any day. Also, have you considered using red plexi for the window instead of clear?

I see no resistors anywhere in those kits. Considering how little power your motherboard's headers already put out, I'd be really surprised if you'd need it. Many, many people used these switches (bought from electronics wholesalers, not pre-mod shops) before these mod shops started carrying...

Easiest way to get one is probably to gut a cheap USB device, like a hub or a drive enclosure.

But how would I get that button to be pushed-and-released when I close the door, and pushed-and-released again when I open it?

My setup is inside an armoire. I'd like to rig up a switch of some sort that would turn the computer on when I open the doors, and off when I close them, smoothly. I could rig up a momentary (OFF)-ON pushbutton to kill the AC to the UPS, which would then send a shutdown signal. But that...

First blow air to loosen the dust. Then use a tiny vacuum cleaner.

Does such a thing exist as a slim adapter that I can plug into my DVI video card to get VGA out, and doesn't stick straight out? Right angle would be preferred, but if there's one with a short cable that would be fine too. I've found 2 meter cables that do this, but that's more slack than I'd...

Do you forsee using more than 3 hard drives (or 2 and a floppy) or 2 optical drives at any time? Do you see any time you will need more than 1 PCI slot? Do you want video SLI in either flavor (although this will be remedied shortly)?

Mount handles now. Remove handles later. Only 4 small holes required, and they'll be concealed by the rack.

Muvo TX FM I've got the 512. Know a few guys with the 1GB. Get it and you'll never look back. Just make sure the package you order has the armband; some early ones came with a queer-looking neckstrap.

Yeah, <3 my trackballs. That looks like it would be hard to click, since you're exerting sideways force and there's nothing to resist it. The mouse would just shift a bit when you're clicking.

Quick and dirty solution? BAT file with a lot of xcopy commands, triggered by the freeware scheduling software of your choice.

Pretty much all the keyboards these days seem to be pretty soft to me. I actually wouldn't mind something a little more solid. Not quite the clicky IBM M, but at least independent keyswitches with a little strength to them. Any help in the opposite direction?

Why not just get the DVD burner of your choice *2? The price difference isn't so huge. You DO know that DVD burners can burn CDs, right? :confused:

Shuttle P + USB2.0 5.25" enclosure. How often do you use that second optical anyway?

Tried it with real burning software yet? Wasn't any bundled with your drive?

All I've been able to find from Maxtor or Seagate is "summer". Anyone have any more specific dates on the release of 500GB drives?

Anyone have any experience with them? Who makes them? How're they working for you? Noise/heat/performance?

http://www.otherworldenterprises.com/showitem.cfm?itemid=20&source=froogle But you'll need an adapter.
