Re: A couple of questions regarding LCD monitors - 18 years ago

The "dull" as you call them LCDs use the same LCD panels as the Apple LCDs. You have fallen for the Apple hype if you believe that the viewing angle is better on the Apple LCDs.

Re: car carrier delivery deal ? - 18 years ago

I would be game for a drive as well. Where is the car at? The owners insurance should cover someone else driving the car with the permission of the owner. I've done a few drives from Texas to Iowa or MN before for cars I have bought. There is no way I will buy anything used in IA, rust everywhere.

Re: Anyone convert an old SCSI Case to a Firewire case? - 18 years ago

Cough...SCSI case...FW800 quad drive bridge board... SCSI cases work AWESOME with those bridgeboards. I have a USB 2 2 bay case, but I am having a hard time making a bracket to mount my bridgeboard to that will use the SCSI slots. I have an L shaped piece of aluminum and a tap for the screws, but I can't figure out how to make a decent square hole. I also am having a hard time c

Re: Ford F-150 Repairs (Rant) - 18 years ago

Perhaps you should learn how to do that maintenance on your car yourself. Parts: Brake Rotors: $40 each(or $105 for the high perf)= $80 or $210 Brake Pads: $20 each(or $80 for the high end)=$40 or $160 Tie rod ends: $36 each for the most expensive ones= $72 So using the most expensive parts it would cost you $442 for the whole deal. I am pretty sure that wherever you had the job done bef

Re: ATI Radeon 9600 Retail 256MB Card testing - QuickSilver/Digital Audio - 18 years ago

Interesting, I don't suppose you plan on testing some of the 256mb 9600's and selling ones that pass in a DA/QS as such? Or is it a very small number of cards that end up working in the DA/QS?

Re: Anyone having problems with the OWC 2.5" Aluminum enclosure? - 18 years ago

It is an IBM drive beeping. I'm guessing it is a known problem? I formatted them in disk utility..writting zeros, they format fine. I noticed the chip on the bottom of the case says Inito on it, but your website says it is a Prolific? I am going to have another HD coming in soon, a 60GB out of a tibook to throw in the case to see what is happening. I wish I could figure out what the problem is.

Re: Two key command questions. - 18 years ago

Command + Shift + 4 will give you crosshairs and let you select what you want to grab. If you use 3 instead of 4 it will do the whole screen. You should have Graphics Converter on your machine (mine shipped with it from Apple) to convert formats.

How hot does you MDD run? - 18 years ago

I upgraded my MDD from a 1.0ghz to a 1.25ghz dual processor card. The temperature inside the machine has jumped about 10 degrees. The HD temperature has jumped 13 degrees. I was wondering what temperatures everyone on the forum was seeing for their MDDs. Processor temp is 138 degrees and the main HD temp is 113 degrees. You can check your temperature by using Temperature monitor. Avalible here

Re: SmallDog XServe just arrived - 18 years ago

Space is the biggest problem with the Xserves. They are only 1U tall so that limits your heatsink height. Also, they are very long, so you need to move air from the front to the back, and the air heats up as it passes by the components. By the time it gets to the heatsink, it is already a little warm and has been slowed down. That is why there is that big blower fan on there. The air is too w

Re: Quick tax question - 18 years ago

Tell them you already filed your taxes and they need to pay all the fees and accounting, plus whatever time you spend refiling or amending your taxes. They were legally obligated to send that out by Feb. 1st. This is their fault, don't let them off the hook. Make it painful so they never do it again.
