    Heat management: Water Cooling in an Apartment?

    Didn't you have a tower that used to use rising air to cool components in Salinas, combined with water cooling? Seems to me you did just fine with having silent cooling, or getting the components in a place where the sound wasn't a bother... You might post pics. That was a NEAT setup...

    Ancient PC with Windows 98

    Just because the ide standard says master and slave, it doesn't mean the chipset supports it. My 2000 Dell had a chipset that only supported one drive per ide channel, and no one at Dell knew it, at least it took them 8 months to admit it. So don't assume that the drive that doesn't work is...

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    I did some research, and I think you can, but the gymnastics involved where really beyond my expertise to do so. I was looking at it for my old board, and guys got it to work, but it was a really involved process, so much so that I decided I would rather go with a SSD for SATA III, and just copy...

    See if it works with old hardware first?

    Curved Ultrawide Monitors

    It was a mistake. I was trying to remember where I put the cat image. I attached files that were wrong. Before I posted, I thought I had removed them from the post. Since they are a waste of bandwidth, I've already reported them and requested they be removed.

    Curved Ultrawide Monitors

    Multiscan e400 isn't a monitor? What's that other, 19" thing next to it? It was intended for Tannin as I too have fond memories of a tri-monitor system, with a 21" in the middle, and two 19"s on the side, and all 1080. Also relevant in that it made my cat quite happy. She loved being the center...

    Curved Ultrawide Monitors

    For Tannin: Moving the 70 pound, 21" was not something I want to do now.

    Curved Ultrawide Monitors

    I tried a 4k 43" for a couple months. Worked much like having two normal monitors. When I played movies in 4k, they are clearer, and more detail. After a couple months, I decided it wasn't a great value, since the cost of 4k TV's is dropping like they are in the stock market. Also most of my...

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    Rapid Mode, a setting in the Samsung SSD Magician software, Yields absurd, impossible data transfer speeds, and random access numbers. Wonder what it actually does? Anyone else played with it?

    BT Headphones

    Sound has separation that's incredible. Gives you the feeling that the sound is 3 dimensional, and if they are singing, and are in different parts of the room, it comes through. Highs are incredible, and I don't hear well up there. Mid-range comes through with punch, and from 3D type feeling...

    BT Headphones

    "" In our opinion, those would probably be the Sennheiser HD1 Wireless (full review here), which sound absolutely fantastic for their $400 price tag. " At delivered for 200. they are truly fantastic. A huge step in depth of sound, highs, lows and midrange, all deeper more detailed, precision...

    BT Headphones

    "It also helped that the rest of the sound quality, outside of the bass, was equally solid. These aren't quite the richest and most expansive headphones in this price range, in terms of audio quality. In our opinion, those would probably be the Sennheiser HD1 Wireless (full review here), which...
