Has anyone successfully used Outlook to access Gmail? POP3 isn't an option because it assumes a single client device, so I'm looking at IMAP, or is there some way to connect with ActiveSync (MS Exchange protocol)? From what I've read so far, Outlook 2003 sort of managed IMAP okay, but Outlook...

Here's my 2003 post about overclocking the XP1700+.

Except the 40GB drive, duh! :oops:

For starters, you could overclock the hell out of that XP1700. It will probably hit 2GHz without even raising the CPU voltage. That's my recollection anyway. But have you checked all the capacitors carefully? M$ will sell you a copy of XP (don't know what the restrictions are), but given that...

The Panasonic TC-L32U3 is 1920x1080 and an IPS panel to boot. Note the 'U' in the model code, the same applies to the L37U3 and the L42U30. Expensive for a TV, but a bargain as a monitor. Greg, the Panasonic you saw at CostCo would not have been native 1920x1080 - a L32U3 starts at $400 or so...

Personally, I think the new iPod Nano screen is way too small for a touch interface. Touchpads are never that small for that very reason; trying to flick to scroll would be really tedious. If you want capable hardware, how about the Creative Zen Touch 2. It runs Android and has a GPS option. :)

Surely with your umpteen UPS units you're immune to power failure? Did your backup generator fail to cut in?

You must be pretty handy Will. The same thing happened to us years ago, but I paid a plumber who removed the toilet and upended it outside to retrieve the plastic toy - I think it was a hammer.

By actually catching fire? :) I remember marveling at how much power those old Linksys required - 2 to 3 times some other routers, as I recall.

A bit like veterinary practice then?

Yep. From the user manual: Output Power, 2 channels driven 4-Ohm, 1 kHz, 1% THD .............................................. 20Wx2 4-Ohm, 1 kHz, 10% THD ............................................ 32Wx2 Max Power ............................................................. 120Wx2 Total...

Greg, you don't need lots of fans, you just need to ensure adequate cooling of certain components. These days, unless you're using a 1U rackmount, the graphics cards are far and away what needs the most cooling. In many cases, you simply don't need extra fans to support normal CPUs. And people...

What is your mistake?

1. At 695mm, the LianLi will fit under most - but not all - desks, apparently including yours if it's 2-3cm taller. I must admit though, that I was visualizing the smaller X1000. 2. You mean HEC 98R9, not HEC 89R9. 3. I agree with you, the HEC would have been a no-brainer for me. 4. Discussion...

I need to find some replacement key tops / caps for a Dell laptop. Dell doesn't sell the keys separately, there's a two-month wait to get a replacement keyboard, and it will cost about $150. I found some vendors in the US that sell cheap replacement keyboards, but one wanted about $100 shipping...

I have one here and it's a PITA. Unpredictable operation. But you should have a fighting chance if the TV is the master, assuming <1W standby vs >100W operating.

"Is this device worth a damn?" Yes, surprisingly. It has a 5270 Joule surge rating. If you had really expensive equipment attached, it might be worth it to those who are risk-averse. I don't know why you'd need the power conditioning part though?

Does that mean they're so marginal at 5400rpm, that some have to be slowed to 5200rpm to pass QA?

CougTek, I don't know what you're smoking, but the X2000F is 83% of the size of the P80. Without even seeing one, I know it would be easier to handle a thinner case than a fat one, regardless of height. 63 x 64cm is not at all easy to manage on a back seat. :p

Is that better than TightVNC?

Warren Buffett's opinion. Similar to what they're doing in Italy, which is increasing taxes by 5% for people earning over 100,000 euros and 10% for those over 200,000 euros. And this despite the Prime Minister previously pledging to never do so.

Your usage was 100% correct, Clocker was just being a dick. ;)

Google buys Motorola

Mubs, if you buy direct from Crucial, you can return any defective components to them and they will ship out a replacement or repair (depending on age). It's often faster than trying to return through the retail channel and definitely a lot less hassle. I believe India is served by the Crucial...

Seriously, you really don't need a separate video card for your stated usage, especially if you can stretch to one of the K suffix CPUs (2500K or 2600K) that comes with HD 3000 graphics. Even the default HD 2000 is quite enough for non-FPS-game usage. They both support dual monitors with your...

This is more my style ;)

Very funny. :p Let me rephrase that for the resident pedants: Any particular reason for the ATX size motherboard requirement? That is, have you already bought one, are you planning to run quad graphics cards, etc?

Any particular reason for the ATX size requirement?

Anandtech actually tested with a GTX580 - the cooling was excellent, so it doesn't seem like DD is taking any kind of risk here. Also, it's worth remembering that a standard ATX PSU is actually just 140mm deep. As capacity increases, the depth goes to 150, 160 and even 170mm. A Seasonic X750 is...

Don't you need the Antec Two Hundred case to get dust filters? Bozo, that Xeon is a sharp pickup. Unfortunately, it has no IGP - for that you need the E3-1245, which is more expensive. And from the sounds of it, Mubs doesn't need anything more than IGP.

How to mod the fan ;)

Silverstone TJ08-E 30 liter Mini-tower, 385mm depth, 5x 3.5" + 1x 2.5" HDD, 180mm + 120mm fans.

I guess you read different versions of the reviews to me. Silent PC Review complained about the flex in the top of the case, but I think they were being a bit foolish here by commenting before the PSU and optical drive were screwed in. They also thought that assembly was "effortless" and...

Cool. So who needs an iPad?

You go first. There are no visible screws or lever points.

You didn't want the big screen after all? I take it you want the graphics power more than CPU speed?

I can't prove it's 7200 rpm, that's just what most of the references say. It could well be just a fast 5400rpm drive, after all, the F4 EcoGreen is pretty quick. On the other hand, Samsung released a 640GB 2-platter 7200rpm 2.5" drive about 15 months ago. A 1TB model would be essentially just...

No USB 3.0. :razz:

Can you ask your wife to post your status here when you're in hospital / the morgue?

Sorry MaxBurn, I didn't see your earlier post. AFAIK, the Samsung S2 series used 5400rpm drives for USB 2.0 but 7200rpm drives for USB 3.0. As you say, they easily exceed 100MB/s sustained transfer rates. Lunar, unless you can produce similar figures from your WD, I'm going to go on believing...

Intelligence Quotient (IQ) and Browser Usage

Stereodude used this metaphor twice. More brainwashing. Can't you guys try thinking for yourselves?

I thought some practical examples might add color to the thread. ;) I'd like to kick it off by introducing the Cassowary (video), probably the world's most dangerous bird. There's only about 2,000 left; they're the only bird with body armor; each male likes to carve out a 1700 acre territory...

That's exactly the sort of thing I meant when I said tax deductions should not be 'government incentives'. You should only be able to claim expenses essential to earn your income, and nothing in excess of that. Mortgages are a living expense, not a work expense. I believe this refers to...

The US government has been borrowing money since 1917. Just like successful private enterprises, that's often essential. As a percentage of GDP, it's not even that high compared to many other countries. The difference is that this time, there's serious doubt that the nation can ever pay it off...

Fishing today, I see, Bill? :) To be fair, the probability of encountering one of the many nasties is actually very low indeed, particularly for a city dweller. The weird part is just how many different nasties there are, and how lethal they can be (in theory anyway). I mean, fire ants are a...

While I appreciate your sentiment, that's really the problem that you're seeing now. Issues are way too complex for the average Joe so he throws up his hands and joins the Tea Party. It's no longer the 19th century. You can't dumb down an increasingly complex world just because your decision...

I need to set up Gmail on a couple of iPhones, but I'm hampered because i don't have an iPhone here. AFAIK, the latest versions of IOS4 can now be set up with the Gmail (IMAP) wizard option, even with push email. Has anyone confirmed this? Irritatingly, all the YouTube videos I can find refer...

Now that you've gone ahead anyway, please reread CougTek's advice. ;)

The fly in the ointment being that Lunar specified "older OS". I wonder which old OS you can get USB 3.0 host adapter drivers for?
