    anxiety attack?

    Getting drunk helped my anxiety temporarily, but as soon as I wasn't hammered I would once again be overcome with worry. I don't suggest it because it can put you on the road to becoming an alcoholic really fast. Anxiety can be caused by many things. Talking to a doctor, or at least to other...

    Just a little addition for today: Size comparison between a solid state disk and a standard 3.5" hard disk drive.

    On the MS site you can use an eval for 60 days, extendable up to 240. I might have to do that to see if it suits me, and to experiment with it some.

    What do you guys shave with? (gals too if you wish)

    I used the Gilette Sensor before the Mach3 came out. I used the Mach3 for many years. I tried a straight razor for a little bit, but it tore my face up. Then my wife got me one of those Braun electrics that you put in a cradle and it auto-cleans. It lasted awhile, but I think it screwed up on my...

    I saw someone on the Sudhain forum did that - put a full sized modular PSU inside one of these. It's not my goal, but something I may think about a little later on. I really like modular PSUs because bundling, tying and hiding all of the spare power cables has always been my least favorite part...

    I got a bit happy with my new digital camera and decided to dissect this case for a bit more of an in-depth look. Here are the basic sides of the case Front [protective film still on] Left: Right: Pretty neat - "built in" [ connects to mobo USB header] Wireless Rear...

    I can tell you are either paranoid or have been burned in the past; you seem very skeptical of any new or "different" technology here.

    I was thinking maybe about something along the lines of a Freezone peltier style cooler. They aren't too big. If it will fit and will cool more than restrict, it will be considered.

    I don't know how but someone crammed liquid cooling into one of these. I'm interested...

    Most Shuttles are a dream, actually, as far as their reputation goes. Just about everything but the PS is modular. It is all supposed to, for the most part, come out and go in in a certain order. Plenty room for RAM so long as you aren't using modules withhuge goofy heatpipes, and CPU cooling...

    I am dealing with a really small PC. I can't just "slap a huge PS in there and be done with it". The secondary PSU is made by Thermaltake, and is made to be an aux PS specifically for VGA cards. It was designed with grounding to the main PSU in mind, and is done properly - there is no...

    Another computer question! I posted this over on a SFF forum as well.. I am trying to get max power into a tiny case, and I need to spare as much room as possible. "I know that it would void the warranty, but can anyone think of any damage that may be done by desoldering unused cable bundles...

    I keep my computers VERY BORING! We're talking "Windows Classic" theme with a plain black background and very minimal icons. I'm running 1680x1050 and I keep my taskbar on the right side and make it auto-hide. I don't like a lot of clutter.

    Those Antec cases are very nice! I have a P180 case and it has a great amount of room. It has plenty of fans. Still, I wanted to get a space-saver for my next PC, so SFF was the way for me. I bought a 1TB Seagate for storage, and I am thinking about a small solid state disk for my primary...

    The problem here is that I wanted to get a small form factor rig. I was thinking about building a "large" SFF rig, but no MATX motherboards supported the newest technology. There was only one SFF setup that was "bleeding edge", and that is the SX48p2 Deluxe. I'm still a XP guy, and will likely...
