Best optical mouse with long battery life? by BatteryLife

Painting a CRT & Brightness Problem by Travis King
I'm thinking about painting a CRT that I have black to match my computer as the picture quality is great but the beige looks horrible. It's a Compaq P110 21" and I picked it up for $10. My Proview 19" that I have is black and matches my computer, but I think the gamma went out or something in...

RAID1 - what happens if your motherboard RAID controller dies? by [email protected]
I have a motherboard with a hardware RAID controller built in and I intend to set up two identical drives in RAID 1 configuration. My worry is how I would go about recovering the data from either drive if my motherboard goes down. I assume that you can't just plug one of the drives in to another...

Thoughts, tips, suggestions on what UPS to use? by Doc[_2_]
I've got two computers - a PIV and a PIII that share a monitor. I use them primarily for doing audio/video. I thought I'd look into a UPS. What I'm looking for is mainly something to guard against momentary power outs that might happen in the middle of tweaking a file or the like. When I hear the...

Better HDD cooling by contact with case or open to air? by lonra
I want to cool my one of my hard drives but without using a fan. (A) Is it better to have the smooth metal side of the HDD resting on the metal of the PC case. OR (B) Is it better to have the drive mounted (using the side screws) with air above and below it. The airflow is minimal.

AMD/Linux vs Intel/Microsoft by E
Hello You can't help to notice the significant change in hardware and software at the moment. A somewhat interesting scenerio is playing out. AMD has its x86-64 architecture, which can run 32-bit applications rather well, and promises to be able to run 64 bit applications, when they come out,...

Cheap fire suppression system for a PC? by ShadowTek[_5_]
I would like to install a small fire detection/suppression system for my computer. I've seen a lot of rediculously expensive stuff online, but I'd like to spend as little as possible. Surely there's something that could be had for little more than the cost of a small hand-held fire-extinguisher,...

Over the last few years electronic devices have produced some impressive sounds from a tiny crappy looking almost-flat speaker. For example, many cells phones have a "no hands" mode where the tiny speaker easily projects the sound for several yards. Another example is my USB memory device which...
