What's the cost of the extrusion you're using/proposing versus something like the Maker Beam product. How would you compete? The pictures shown in this thread depict a higher quality and more professional product than Maker Beam so I think that is one area where this case kit would excel.

That's really pretty. Nice work!

I put a filter on my top vent to keep junk from falling inside the case. You never know when a stray screw will fall off your desk and onto the case. I also had filters on the intake fans to filter the incoming air.

I just tried mounting the VHD on another computer and it worked. Not sure why one machine works and another doesn't. Both the same OS. Different hardware. Well, I'm happy it works.

No luck with the network recovery. I can browse to the folder which was a step in the right direction but it says there's nothing there. I tried the main folder and the two subfolders. Neither work. Are there any other suggestions out there? I can't believe this data is completely gone.

I'll give the network share a shot and see what happens.

I have a friend who's Windows install failed. Someone formatted and reinstalled the OS and didn't save his data. Luckily (or so I thought) he had done a backup through the windows backup utility. So I was trying to see if I could recover some files from the backup but here's what I am running...

That's cool. I didn't know they did it with software.

I have a few friends who swear by Synology. I went the route of a dedicated windows box with disk pooling and file replication over raid. I don't need the read/write speed of raid since it's mainly network storage. The benefit I get is that my data isn't held hostage in case the controller...

Oh that's great news. I thought I was going to have to order a new case. I will look for the correct cables....and learn some more about this now that I know they are directional. Thank you for the information.

I recently purchased a Norco multiple hard drive chassis with SAS connectors. I had purchased a SAS to SATA cable adapter and tried to connect it to the SATA connectors on the motherboard. I then plugged in a SATA hard drive into the system and nothing happened. The system doesn't see it...

Oh, I didn't realize it did more than just browse the base file structure. Thanks!

Hey all. I'm looking for recommendations for a Live CD platform that has file recovery on it. Something like Recuva for windows but on a Live CD. I have seen Knopix and Back Track as live cds but I have not seen them discuss file recovery. Mostly just browsing existing file systems. Does...

Has anyone here backed or pre-ordered the Mycestro? I put in a pre-order a few months ago and I have not heard anything from the company despite two or three emails to the company. I was just curious if anyone out there has any knowledge about this thing.

I just tried with the dock DP and Laptop DP and its a no go. @Meaker So my built in screen is LVDS. My laptop does support WiDi. When I go through the settings from the Intel link you sent I notice that my interface panel will only give me Primary Monitor and Secondary Monitor choices. I...

I need to get another displayport cable. I'll let you know as soon as I do. I think the docking station has a mini display port on it. I might be able to try that tonight.

I just tried the docking station: docking station Displayport + VGA disables the main laptop screen docking station VGA + laptop VGA does not work Docking station VGA + laptop displayport disables the main screen I can not get 3 monitors to work simultaneously.

I was chatting with a lenovo sales agent (not that I'm sure I believe them) but they claim the UltraBase 3 will allow me to use the two outputs (displayport and vga) on the base and still have video on the x230t itself. I ordered one and I'll let you know what I find.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. I keep reading up on it and I have watched a few youtube videos confirming the same thing. I tried the VGA + Displayport on my laptop and I have to shut the main screen off for it to work. Or I can have any combination of two displays but the third display...

In case anyone is wondering still, you can only drive two monitors at any given time with the X230t. So VGA and DP++ output can be active at the same time but the main laptop display would need to be off. Lame.

ohhhh the name error is because the variable isn't defined.... you know, I caught that error on a different variable I was defining but I didn't put two and two together for this one. I'll give it a shot.

Okay I got around one of the problems by placing the following line before the main program runs: getLed_thread = threading.Thread(target=function_test_function) This way the thread exists when I go to start() it when the button is pressed. But I can only start() once. The second time I hit...

I'm starting with the simplistic method first since I understand this method for now. (I'm very new to python) I added this code to the part of my program that checks the button press. Upon press I thought I would run this check to see if the thread is running. if (getLed_thread.is_alive() ==...

I'm creating a script that runs in a loop over and over again to check when a button is pressed. When the button is pressed the script polls my website for a specific value. If the value is 1 then a light turns red. If the value is 2 then the light turns blue. It's pretty simplistic. The...

I have recently purchased the Hauppage HDPVR. I have found that it has serious lag times when changing channels. This keeps WMC from being able to record TV shows and it's just a pain in the butt. I noticed that if I change channels with the cable box remote that the channels change in...

That's an interesting proposition. @-Sn1PeR- yup. I utilize Whole disk encryption on my laptop and either encrypted containers or encrypted disks depending on the application.

One of the issues with a dropbox style system is when it comes to syncing the photo gallery software. It maintains links to the photos folders. I would have to put 40 gigs worth of my picture library in the dropbox folder which becomes expensive. The other option is to only put the few that I...

What about non third-party server systems. I'm not keen on paying for multi gigs of data storage nor do I like the idea of storing a lot of my personal data on systems I don't own if I don't have to.

How do you guys store your personal data, pictures, projects you're working on; and how do you travel with it when you go away for a few days or a weekend? Right now I keep general files, music, movies, pdf reference books etc, on my home server. I keep photos on my desktop computer. The...

Thank you. I completely dismissed that setting because I assumed it would use the location of my bat file as the working directory. I appreciate the help.

crap. It was user error. It's not running the batch file from the location where my actual bat file is. What i mean is, my batch file is in a folder called "log hours". it points to a local text file in the same folder. But when task scheduler calls the file, it runs it from the...

I now have full access and it doesn't work. The dos window opens but it doesn't write to the text file. It doesn't even indicate that it didn't write to the file. I did change the properties in the AutoIt script executable to have "run as admin" checked and that one doesn't even seem to run.

Ok, so they just changed the permissions on my account in group policy and gave me "modify" rights for cmd.exe. I still can't change the properties for CMD to say run this as administrator...but if i'm an admin shouldn't it run with my rights?

Yeah, I don't have permission to do that. I'm looking into it to see if group policy is locking me out of that control. (It probably is) Here at work I am local admin but there are a few things that they control via group policy. This seems like it's one of those things.

How do I do that? I went to windows/system32 and right click on cmd.exe but run as administrator is grayed out and I can't add my user to the permissions group.

No dice. I saw it open the batch file but the batch file didn't write to the text file.

I'm having trouble scheduling a certain task. I want to know every time that I unlock my workstation. So I created a scheduled task with a trigger for "On Workstation Unlock". The action I set was "run program" and I linked it to a batch file that write the date and time into a file. If I...

I was having trouble getting that to work. It seemed to want to return some kind of a text value. It kept causing errors since it was trying to return text above the header. Also, I could not seem to get it to return true or false the way I thought it should. I'm sure it user error but I do...

They are both formatted correctly but the DNS doesn't exist for vzwtext.com
