    Project Coppernaut

    Removing the stock fan and fan filter mounting hardware meant coming up with a new solution. I love magnets, and this case is made of steel, so it was a natural direction to go. Plus I had a bunch of spare square NiB magnets from past projects, so I taped four in place as a trial run. This...

    Project Coppernaut

    Aloha! I'd like to share with you my latest build, Coppernaut. I chose this name because 1) this build is heavily copper-themed, utilizing copper components, accents and mods and 2) the -naut suffix makes me think of the Greek Argonauts, heroes of the sea and adventurers. Water is fitting...

    Galaxy GTX 780 HOF Sets World Record

    The white PCB stood out to me, too. I think it would be very cool to do a black and white build with a white motherboard.

    Waterpump´s 12v or 24v !

    The TPP644 looks to be the same as a Laing D5 or a Koolance PMP-450. In theory, 24V would be better. In practice, not so much. Martin's Liquid Lab did a great comparison that would be worth checking out: http://martinsliquidlab.org/2011/04/03/koolance-pmp-450-d5-vario-pump/ (12V vs 24V is...

    The Death of the Impulse Shopper

    I think it's almost necessary at this point. Manufacturers are cutting every cost they can at the expense of overall quality, so if you want something that will last, you have to research the options. Combine that with an ever-increasing range of product selection and the choice is further...

    Microsoft CEO Bonus Curbed for Kin, Tablet Failures

    Well, somebody canceled the MS Courier, so maybe that's part of it. I'm sure they had their reasons, but that seemed like the best shot they had at an iPad competitor.

    Upgrade an Old DVD to Blu-ray for $5

    Finally! I blogged about this idea in 2008. :/ It's good to finally see it start happening, but sad that it took them this long to realize it was a good idea.
