Awww man! I went out & built this.

100W! I am working on a USB 3.0 project & #28 cable gauge. But specs do have some latitude so I am interpreting this as yet another spec with compliant cables that have specific applications ... as in not every compliant cable is compatible with every device that is USB 3.0 compliant.

@2tired2tango I have upgraded (and it is an upgrade) from scotchbrite to fine wire mesh fan filters. On 2 full size cases are 2 120 mm fans pushing in. I also added push pull 120 mm fans to the radiators with the air blowing out of the case. To that I added the wire screen mesh filters...

You remind me of a friend that we used to call the Steve 9000. He worked out an equation that took a 3 pages to solve with the result equaling his sister's birthday. It was his b'day present to her since he had no money or inclination to buy something for her. The guy graduated from high...

I don't like to be "pegged" as a non-believer OR a believer. I grew up in a very christan life. I am a engineer/scientist and have solved allllll of the world's problems & mysteries of the universe with my peers (students, engineers to english & philosophy majors). As a result (& leaving a...

I have been using this or the dual drive version at least. Inexpensive & provides for pretty simple drive swaps as well as moving between machines. Being exposed as they are means a little extra care and dusting is required, but they do work ok.

hahaha ... yes, a comment review from someone did express concern about that possibility. Of course that immediately drew me closer to the purchase. :o But cleaning out these d@mn heatsinks & radiators does require verve considering the PITA it is to get them out. I am hoping to avoid the yearly...

OC-ing for some is sport; for others it is voodoo; then others with software that they earn their income with it is necessary to get projects done ASAP. I have OC-ed everything from a Radio Shack TRS-80, in the day. There are rumors of failed CPUs, but as gripey as people typically are on the...

How long has the system been running? Dust accumulates in the fins of the heat sink reducing efficiency with consequential rise in CPU temp. Verify with a utility to see what the cores are running at. It is not unusual for cores to be at different temps no matter what is done with the...

Ahhhh! The good grandson

Thanks Thar ... I have some train traveling over the next couple of days so I will have time to absorb. I am sure that I will have a review of this when I return. :)

Keyboard video mouse switches for sharing your resources amongst multiple computers. For anyone using multiple computers these things save a lot of screwing around in time and money. Now that I have an inexpensive source of HDMI cables, I want to upgrade the 10 y/o KVM box to using HDMI. I find...

I am interested in a seeing a critical review ... then I will still wait ~6 months. :)

You know, I think this my subconscious fear! The alien feel of a new k/b! Don't tell me about having food & drinks around k/bs ... sore subject of late.:o But holy crapola ... $300 for a Topre Keyboard!?! Well, checking out their web site, these are certainly rugged k/bs for heavy use. But I...

I have been wondering how long people keep their desktop keyboards. And, what the criteria is for changing them out. I have a wired Microsoft keyboard that must be pushing 10 years ... at least 8. I thought I would clean it recently & tapped it upside down on the desk. In a word...

Given that SMART has reported no problems, then I suspect that the issue could be a connector problem as you also seem to suspect. If the HDD had a problem, it would not be intermittent. You approach is good in trying to determine if the problem follows a cable or not. I was too lazy to...

In short, this does not sound good. 1st drill into the WD web site & look for their tech support. They have HDD test software that works or only their drives. As I recall thre is a HDD intgrity testing program & a version of acronis that will run if there is at least one WD HDD in the system...

we are sad sick men LOL

Better man than I am:o

To tie you thru the hiatus
