ANTEC Phantom
Antec Phantom 350: Super-efficient Fanless PSU :: SilentPCReview.com. Pretty amazing, this is a power supply without any fan at all. It cools passively and delivers 350 watts, so good if you don’t have too power hungry a system and really want the ultimate in quiet.

Chaintech VNF3-250 and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro incompatibility
Tong Family Blog: Installing a new Windows PC. I’ve had a terrible stability problem with Calvin’s machine.

Outlook need DEP off
_Thank goodness for the Internet. I couldn’t get Spambayes to work properly. Amazingly, someone found exactly the same problem. I had turned on DEP since I have one machine that is an Athlon 64 and this prevents data execution errors. I’m gathering that Spambayes is probably a bad self-modifying code program or more likely python…

WiFi-Forum – Blue screen with Centrino 2200BG wireless card when TKIP is enabled. Well, maybe TKIP is the problem, but under high load, the Centrino 2200BG driver crashes on my Sony VAIO.

It is PCI Express…

Great Customer Service
I spent most of my time essentially documenting bugs, so in talking with Jan and Robbie, I realized that’s kind of unfair. I’ve had a couple of great customer experiences when things break and kudos to those companies that are using the web and just plain hard work to make it happen. Electronics are going…
