I'm out of the AGP loop, and my brother with an Athlon XP 3200+ wants an AGP upgrade for his decrepit GeForce FX 5200 card. He's into FPS-type games, so that should weigh into the selection. Budget is $150, no more than $200. New or used videocards are okay. Obviously, with a system like...

I'm moving away soon and can't justify a second PC, so I'd like to offer my fellow [H]ers an opportunity to get a foundation for a great Mini-ITX HTPC setup for a great price. ... Casetronic Travla C137 Mini-ITX chassis Official product page...

My recently purchased Bytecc ME-835 enclosure does not appear to work properly with my Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 160 GB drive. When connected to my USB port, using Windows XP SP2, the folders on that drive show up as expected, but when they are opened, some folders are empty, while others...

I'm contemplating the purchase of a fairly large local storage enclosure using eSATA/Port Multiplier technologies. I will connect to the enclosure using one or two eSATA ports. First of all, is there such a board which will mount inside a standard ATX-type case and connect several (8+) SATA...

I'm almost completely ready to pull the trigger on a nice Thinkpad X60s. The question is, where is the best place to buy from? I've heard about the EPP program, can I participate?

Is there any reason why these two parts would be incompatible? http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=190&item=DCJ-25&type=store http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=480&item=PS-528&type=store

Couldn't come up with a better thread title ;) Okay, so I'm looking for some earbuds to use for working out. I'm looking for something durable enough to handle cold temperatures and hard exercise, but I want something that sounds good. I already have Etymotics ER-6i, but they are too...

In preparation for my purchase of a laptop I'd like to get a bag for it. Basically, I'm willing to spend up to $200 on a high-quality bag that's stylish but not too flashy, durable, and of course up to the task of protecting my precious laptop. There should also be room for a couple of...

Well, I might be in the market for an ultraportable soon. Price is not an issue for now--basically I want to get an idea of the playing field. Basically I value build quality first and foremost. I also would like respectable battery life (4 hours while using wireless), and decent processing...

I wish to incorporate a set of controls that offers multiple levels of adjustment (coarse, medium, fine) using "touch-wheels" a la iPod and other devices. The problem is that I cannot source an IC that offers support for multiple wheels controlling one parameter. Even multiple ICs that can be...

Encouraged by the results of my VFD thread in this subforum, I would also like to tackle another project in my queue. I have a TFT LCD pulled from a notebook computer, but what I also have is a compatible LCD controller board for the LCD. Anyways, I'll need a custom cable to handle the LVDS...

Okay, so I have a few Noritake graphic VFDs lying around, collecting dust. So I figured that it's about time that I wire them up. I need to construct an interface cable that has a 26-pin female header connector (0.100" pin spacing) on one end, and a male DB25 connector which plugs into the...

Okay, bear with me, as I'm not sure I'm using the right terms. I'm looking for software that will let me integrate mechanical elements of my design with electrical elements (PCBs, connectors, switches, etc.). This needs to be a serious software program that will generate files suitable for...

This is a quick yes or no question, but I need to know ASAP ;) I need a card that can read two Fujitsu MAP3735 SCSI Ultra-320 drives as cheaply as possible. I found a card--an Adaptec AHA-2940UW--for $6.50 shipped, that I presume will be able to read the hard drives. It's an Ultra Wide...

I'm looking for a source that will help me zero in on the best battery for my application. I'm looking for a central resource, or a parametric search or something. Keep in mind that I've concluded that a notebook or tablet PC battery would be most appropriate for my project. Anyways, if...

Let's say I have two stereo, line-level outputs. Output A is for headphones. Output B is for speakers. Basically, I am looking for a simple design that senses a headphone load in Output A and switches the output on, muting the other output. Otherwise, Output B should be on and Output A...

Okay, so I bought a USB hub, but I want to place it several feet from the computer. I'm looking for a cheap source of USB cables, with a good selection. What can you recommend? Also, I want to purchase some adhesive-mounted cable ties or clips to route some cables neatly. Where could I...

I have an IBM 4019 laser printer that I'd like to connect via USB. I've been having trouble finding compatibility lists for the USB-parallel adapters I've encountered. Should I be worried about compatibility with my printer if I pick a given USB-parallel adapter? edit: By the way, it uses...

I'm not too well versed in the product lines of these two companies, and they have been very difficult to audition, for obvious reasons. So, I'm looking for recommendations. I'm looking for the best set under $100, give or take. What subjective comments do you have with regards to Shure vs...

Moderator, please lock this.

Slim or otherwise. Must be IDE, USB, or PCMCIA. Must be working! ;) Send me your offers...

After about 10 months of ownership, I've finally gotten around to photographing and hosting some pictures of my Pentium M based SFF computer. Here are the essential specs: Intel Pentium M 735 1.7 GHz @ 2.2 GHz (Dothan core, 90 nm process, with 2 MB L2 cache and nominal system bus frequency...

Okay, so at the moment I'm stuck with a 2005FPW in VGA mode. I'm trying to run at 1680 x 1050 but the image on my screen is shifted to the right by about 3 inches, making my system tray and other things inaccessible. I just want to be able to shift the image back to the left about 3...

Okay, so I am building an audio amplifier for a class, and it's recommended that the amplifier use a 40 volt DC supply (V+ = 40 V and V- = 0 V). Now I have seen a lot of linear supplies with symmetrical rails (like +20 and -20 V, for example), so can I hook up V+ to +20 V and V- to -20 V and...

I was helping my brother set up his Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW and I noticed that all of his games that ran smoothly before now run choppy. With games like Quake III Arena at 1024x768, his Radeon 9800 Pro should be able to take that, yet now, after his CRT was switched out with an LCD, everything...

Okay, here we go again... :rolleyes: Call me completely ignorant, but couldn't I combine several of these modules, http://www.vicr.com/products/dc-dc/converter_modules/2nd_gen/ and this rectifier module, http://www.vicr.com/products/ac-dc/rectified_filter_modules/farm/ and some...

Okay, so I think I may have set my E-Mu 1212M improperly, or my RCA interconnects are bad or something. Here's what I have: E-Mu 1212M soundcard with mono 1/4" to RCA adapters EV SonicXS 2.1 speakers $10 RCA interconnects from Parts Express (shielded to some extent) Here's the facts...

Okay, so I bought a Dell 2005FPW like everyone else, it seems, and of course, being a Revision A00 Dec 04 model, it has backlight and dead pixel issues. Unfortunately for me, I'm past the 21 day limit, thanks to slow shipping and to an extent, my own fault. What are my options? The best...

After all these years of working with soundcards good and bad, I've finally accepted analytically and empirically the advantage to upsampled content beyond 44.1 kHz, particularly integer multiples like 88.2 kHz, 176.4 kHz, etc. Now I have been introduced to the Nyquist Theorem and once again...

The thread title is a bit misleading, but bear with me. I have a motherboard which supports the Banias Pentium M out of the box. A BIOS revision allows the board to support Dothan Pentium Ms as well. I have the motherboard and Dothan Pentium M (model 735, 1.7 GHz) in front of me...

Alright, my cellular phone has suffered some light scratches that are quite annoying. They aren't very deep--the scratches look like I can just rub them out but I can't. So, what products/techniques do you suggest? I prefer a cheap and local solution if you can suggest something.

I have only a limited amount of experience with the bookshelf offerings in this range, and the audio shops nearby are either chain stores with bad selection, or audiophile shops with only large floorstanding units. I was wondering what you all recommend in this range. I'd like to clarify...

For those of you who wanted to measure the power consumption of your computer, now is the time to buy a Kill-a-Watt. It costs just over $25 if you follow this link: http://www.techbargains.com/tellafriend2.cfm/35716

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=18904 Well, what do we have here? A 95 watt thermal design power is nice to see at this stage, and shows that AMD has a lot of confidence in its 90 nm process. 205 million transistors, however, means that it will cost AMD about the same to make these as...

http://www.silentpcreview.com/article188-page1.html Wow, I am impressed to see that Antec has released this thing, let alone met or exceeded the ambitious claims it made for this power supply. Congratulations Antec on a job well done.
