    Automotive Fuses from Harbor Freight

    Don't you have Pep Boys, Advanced Auto Parts, Parts Plus or a auto parts store nearby? Even K-Mart and Sears sells auto fuses. Why would you mail order and pay shipping on such a small part? The story sounds really bogus. If you need a fuse, you need it now, not a week from now. And, it would...

    RMA this drive? Consensus please.

    Seagate and WD send refurbished drives as replacements. They are marked accordingly on the drive. usually in very small print. I have gotten new drives from both companies. I presumed they were out of referbs or the mobel was too old to fool with. Bozo :joker:

    Quiet tower case for 8+ HDDs?

    I also use the Supermicro 5-n-3 hot swap chassis. I replaced the fan with a 92mm Antec temperature controlled unit. The fan speed increases with temperature rise. 99% of the time it just idles. With the P180 case, there is a mount for a 120mm fan in front of the upper hard drive enclosure. I...

    More Vista nonsense

    Most printers over a year old do not work on Vista. That is the printer manufacturers job, to write the drivers. Most are not. Vista has an 'improved' (bastadized) NTFS file system. XP doesn't like it. Also, System Restore is different on each file system. One tries to overwrite the other and...

    Best MP3 ripper/burner

    I tried both CDex and EAC. I ended up using EAC. The only reason I used EAC was StereoDude's excelant post, and after about an hour, I got it to do what I wanted it to do. Nero 7 will rip and convert to MP3s too. But I never could figure out how. The user interface is a cluster f**k. None of...
