    Buying computer hardware in China

    I'm going to be moving to Shanghai in August and would like to know what's the best way to buy computer hardware there. NewEgg has a Chinese site -- has anybody used it? Any other Chinese sites to recommend, or should I just stick to ordering from US sites and having them ship to China? I could...

    BenQ G2400W

    Actually the power button is broken. I have to stick a pen in there to push it.

    BenQ G2400W

    I'm having this problem too. Any fix? Will it hurt the longevity of the screen to have it be on blue a lot of the time?

    Charge laptop with AA, C, or D battery?

    Yeah, I'd just like to have a nice box or something, not some loose wires. I don't want to make it myself either.

    Charge laptop with AA, C, or D battery?

    Yeah, that would be a sweet idea. Really, any kind of laptop power to rechargeable battery adapter. I googled a bit and didn't find anything.

    Charge laptop with AA, C, or D battery?

    This is assuming rechargeable batteries of some kind, like NiMH. I have 10,000 mAh (=10 Ah) NiMH D batteries from all-battery.com. If you consider my HP laptop battery is 5000 mAh at 18.5V. 18.5 / 1.5 = 12.33. So if I had thirteen D batteries I could charge up my HP laptop twice? Am I doing my...

    Charge laptop with AA, C, or D battery?

    Is there some sort of a device that would let me charge my laptop with off-the-shelf AA, C, or D batteries? I've Googled with little success. I have a device that can charge USB devices using AAA batteries. I can put rechargeable batteries in there and the device can also recharge the...

    Seagate 7200.11 1.5TB vs old Raptor 74GB

    I'm currently using an old Raptor 74GB (WD740GD, 10k rpm) as my primary drive. I just ordered a Seagate 7200.11 1.5TB 32MB buffer. Should I use that instead as my application drive? I do pretty standard desktop stuff, a little bit of stuff in Photoshop. This is quite old but the Storage...

    Similar full size keyboard to Apple G5

    I use them to resize windows, which I set up in Girder. So I basically just need three function keys plus three volume ones, or just six or so function keys total.

    Similar full size keyboard to Apple G5

    I used to have an Apple G5 keyboard, the previous generation before the current dumb aluminum ones. But it's dead now and I'm looking for a replacement. I could just get another one for about $45 but was wondering if there is a similar and better option, say under $100. I really like the G5...

    Blacking out power light?

    I just got a G2400W and love it. But the green power light is a little annoying when watching movies. I'd like to black it out somehow. I don't think there's a setting for it so I'm thinking maybe I can paint over it. A friend suggested black nail polish. What do you think?

    BenQ G2400W

    I just bought it off Enter Computers for $380 (free shipping). Not many reviews on Reseller Ratings but I put it on my credit card so they will cover my ass.

    BenQ G2400W

    NewEgg's got it for $389 + $18 shipping to me in Austin. Is this the best price for US customers?

    Buying 24" LCD off craigslist?

    I want a 24" that has 1920x1200 (1080p) resolution. For reference a brand new Dell 2408WFP is currently $599. There are some decent ones on craigslist, like this Westinghouse for $375. Are there any caveats with buying off of craigslist? Do warranties transfer over? Would I just be...

    Replacing old socket 478 mobo. 800/533 FSB compatible?

    OK, I'm pretty sure it's at least a Prescott. Williamette is super old.
