    Most Silent 80MM LED Fans?

    AFAIK SilenX aren't rebranded... Also, the 14 dBa SilenX fan moves only 4 less cfm than Coolermaster rifle bearing fans (according to the specs). I own a non-led version of the fan and a Coolermaster rifle bearing fan, and I can honestly say that although not necessarily 14 dBa, the SilenX...

    Expiring CDs

    I wonder, what causes the decomposition, oxidation or light/temperature sensitivity? If kept under nitrogen atmosphere will a CD-R/RW stay useable longer? What if it were stored in the dark? Anyone have so much time that they equated the lifespan of the CD in relation to light intensity...

    Best Thing for ripping Audio from CD's?

    I just installed a new DVD burner in my rig, Lite-On SOHW-1633S. The speeds have just slowed down to a crawl even on good CD's. I reformatted my computer and re-setup my EAC and for some reason it's going at around 2X. Whereas I used to be able to get around 20X using secure mode using a...

    Angry neighbor! Please help

    When I got my z680's to test them out after burning in for like 3 days, I decided to blast them... my friend from two floors up ran downstairs and was amazed exclaiming "What the f*** was that? Was that you?! Holy crap!" Good thing my don that term was really lax...

    Speaker Decision

    Klipsch are horrifically expensive here... they'll cost around $300 more for the promedia ultra 5.1's than the logitech z-5500's... that's really hard to justify (~$370 as compared to ~$650) for the sound improvement you get. At that kind of jump, you might as well invest in a cheap home theatre...

    Mp3 Player

    Then I must've gotten shafted with the battery... I believe that encoding also makes a difference in battery life. I use variable bit rate stuff from lame + eac at alt preset standard/extreme (depends on the album). Variable bit rate tends to drain power more from what I understand, since...

    Sarnia was BORING! Never do a coop workterm there if you are from a big city For some reason, doesn't wanna do FSB higher than 200 on 2.7 volts... or maybe its just that the shuttle doesn't like it too much. Haven't had too much time to tweak around with it. Looks like you've discovered...

    Where to buy Sennheiser 150s from Canada (just moved here)

    Amazon.ca probably won't have it... it only has music and books. If you are in Toronto, you can go to Bay-Bloor Radio or Great Met Sound (or something of the like). They'll probably have greater selection than most brick and mortar stores.

    thermalright nb-1c silent 45mm fan?

    Or you could just keep the 45mm fan on and use speedfan to slow down the delta (assuming it is a 3-pin fan).
