If you are looking for a decent and inexpensive micro-ATX mobo case, the cute CoolerMaster Elite 340 gets my vote. It uses standard ATX power supplies with PS/2 screw hole mount pattern. http://www.coolermaster.com/products/product.php?act=detail&tbcate=168&id=2563

Nope. It's certainly for real: 'Surprised' Western Digital to revisit multimedia file sharing limits The decision to block access, it says, was driven by legal fears http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9052339

I have a security fastener toolkit. They are hard to come by and the one I have cost me dearly. I suspect some of the high cost was attributed to licensing fees and less to the nice tough ABS plastic case that contains it all. It has, I believe, 37 different bits -- all sorts of oddball tips...

Maybe you should have asked in a more diacritical fashion... Whërë thë hëll ïs ëvërybödÿ!?!

There's so much patently bad advice and wrong information in this thread that I don't know where to begin.

I highly suspect there will be a nasty bump in HDTV demand when the NTSC cutoff date hits and prices will rise accordingly with the nasty bump. Still, I don't plan on purchasing a "native" HD-TV system until a couple or so years after the NTSC cutoff date. I presently view over-the-air HD-TV...

That record was certainly shattered recently: Most users ever online was 510, 06-27-2007 at 02:30 PM Is a website crawling with (presumably benign) spiders such a good thing? What is StorageForum's GB-per-month production numbers these days? Back in 2003, I believe it was around 3...

There have been a few situations when I could have used a digital still camera that was narrow / pistol-like, like this Canon TX1 -- situations where I was simultaneously pushing through heavy brush and trying to take photos. Experienced photo people are generally too acclimated to the...

CNC machines? Actually, I've followed CNC machine technologies over the years and the marketplace somewhat (in recent times). I've had some semi-crazy thoughts about building my own 3-axis CNC router with a vacuum table. :owneddnce: When it comes to making wood parts for geetars and such, I...

Merc, you need to become a religious man. After being borne again, you'll find yourself running into all sorts of "available" women... http://www.youtube.com/v/WNwE_itrwjk

There is currently no way (that I'm aware of) to get from any level in the forums to the top of the hierarchy without typing http://www.storageforum.net/ into the browser. Case in point: Storageforum > Off Topic > Feedback > Clicking on "Storageforum" on the folder level indicator...

Unless you have a nice fat pipe to a backbone, it would be a hell of a long time over a skinny lil' DSL line in this day and age of billions of DNS entries. As for your predicament: I highly suspect that your ISP had a DNS server failure or server upgrade and is now trying to get the...

Strangely enough, just about EXACTLY two years to the week, I saw a "leaked" specifications sheet on a (then) upcoming SATA CD-R/W product from LiteON. I suspect, shortly thereafter, an overly-knee-jerk-conservative LiteON decided to delay or kill the product for economic reasons due to the...

Holy sh%# batman! I believe I'll drive over to a nearby Fry'z in the morning and buy one for $159 (+8.25% local sales tax). There was a veritable mountain of 750 GB Baccarudas in the middle of the floor at the Fry's store I'm talking about back in August.
