Most reviews really like the Antec (Tom’s Hardware love the True 480). These power supplies are big BTW, for the traditional AT or PS/2 size cabinets, so they won’t work in mini-PCs like the shuttle. The big bruiser is the True550. Guess which one I want 🙂 Here’s a good…

Hmmm. Connie’s machine is now in a strange state. Seems to randomly reboot and now it hangs on IDE detection. I’ve turned off all the overclocking, but basically, it gets blown back to the power up. As if the reset button were pushed. I noticed that if I have the…

AGainst my better judgement, I’m going to try one of these out. D-link has actually been OK for me, but Adrian has had terrible experiences. OTOH, I have a 24-port D-link switch at home and it seems fine. It does have nasty interference problems because of Super-G, but what the…

“Know Buddy”:http://knowbuddy.dyndns.org:81/torrent/index.cgi. ok, i admit it since I’ve been flat on my back, I’ve been watching this mindless show. Connie can’t understand why I like it.
