    CoolIT Freezone Chilled Liquid CPU Cooler

    Maybe I missed it, but I have been unable to find if this unit has a humidity sensor and an ambient air temperature sensor. Without these key sensors, this product cannot make dew point calculations so as to safely control the temperature of the water block in high humidity regions. In other...

    Omnifi DMP1 20GB Car Media Jukebox

    Don't suppose you know if a Seagate 100GB drive will work in this thing? The tutorial I found lists 60GB as the largest tested drive.

    Omnifi DMP1 20GB Car Media Jukebox

    I installed mine saturday to the underside of the passengers seat and I do have a bumpin' subwoofer. My car does at least 140db on the dashboard.... way more in the back. Like it says in the instructions, you need to mount it to something SOLID. That flimsy board is not what I would call...

    educate me on NiMH AA batteries, and mah

    One important factor, that may not be easy to find, is ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance). The lower the better. Batteries are not ideal, they do have some internal resistance.

    How do i solder LEDs to a circuit board/pcb?

    Incorrect. Go into any plant that populates PCBs and you will find small bottles of liquid flux and solder that does not have a flux core. For flux to do its job, you really need it on the part as you are heating it, and before the solder touches it. Some electrical grade flux is "acid"...

    Western Digital 250GB Internal Hard Drive $79.99 After MIR

    Funny you mention that, I have two "deathstars" from that era an neither one has failed yet. My guess is the majority of those failures were either from improper handling during shipping (including insufficient packaging) or insufficient cooling once installed..... but thats just my theory

    Western Digital 250GB Internal Hard Drive $79.99 After MIR

    I nominate this for moronic quote of the week: Do understand what probability is? A RAID0 setup (with two disks) is TWICE as likely to suffer a drive failure. Lets say the probability of one drive failing is 1 out of a 100, then the probability of a RAID0 failure (assuming a 2 disk...

    1: Reading is fundaMENTAL: 2: You have a very poor understanding of scientific method. You can not change variables A AND B and conclude that variable A is the sole cause of the variance. Also, If you had any comprehension of scientific method, you would know that it is very difficult to...

    This data still does not apply to our discussion. That article is a review of controllers, not interfaces. You are trying to extrapolate data that isnt there. He compared a generic on-board IDE controller with a high performance add-on SATA controllers. If the reviewer was testing UATA...

    No shit sherlock. Raptors are 10,000 rpm drives. IDE Caviars are 7200 rpm drives. :rolleyes: You are also using vastly different raid controllers. That alone makes your conclusion that "OMFG SATA IS TEH WINNAR!!!!" invalid. The speed difference you see is because of the SATA drives...

    USB 2.0 2.5" External Enclosure - $6.99 +shipping

    It should have been pretty obvious from the description on their website that there was no way a 12mm drive would fit: The external thickness of the thing is only 10mm.
