    COLDHEAT Soldering Tool

    Sorry, but I have to say that whoever wrote that review has no idea how to solder. First of all, he's comparing the cold-heat soldering iron to a soldering gun. Soldering guns are used for heavy duty jobs where high wattage is required, not a delicate touch. If he wanted an accurate...

    Advanced mod- Socket extension?

    It doesn't. Trust me, resistance has nothing to do with timing. It WILL result in signal degradation, but your signals will be altered by capacitance (the resistance to voltage changes) and inductance (the resistance to current changes). Look up LC and RLC circuits in any basic college level...

    Battery powered pocket pc charger

    You're 6000mAh estimate assumes that he has the batteries wired in parallel (hence being able to distribute the current load across all 4). This would provide 1.2V @ 6000mAh (far less voltage than is required). He would have to wire them in parallel for 4.8V @ 1500mAh to power the PDA...

    Mame In A Briefcase Project....

    Of course you can go less. Buy an old Pentium 266MHz+ laptop and there's your portable MAME system... Don't do it. Flash memory (which is what the "USB keychains" use) has a finite lifecycle (actual length varies from manufacturer to manufacturer). The problem is that Windows has a swap file...

    Creative Labs I-Trigue 3300 2.1 Speakers $12.87 after PM & MIRs

    I have a friend who is trying to take advantage of this deal and apparently the counter-employee said the same thing about the rebates; however if you read the fine print on the rebates they say nothing about price adjustments or price-matches. The Creative rebate should not be a problem. If...

    SPDT Switch, 2 Fans (Schematics)

    Frankly, not accurate. Different fans will start at different voltages. Some may start at 5V while others will not start at 7V. It depends again on the manufacturer, type of fan (brushed/brushless), friction (sleeved/ball-bearing), and other factors. Frankly you just need to test to see if...

    Another PSU Sleeving thread

    A. Does not work with all PSUs. B. Does not discharge all capacitors. Don't do this and assume everything is safe. -special [k]

    Creative Labs I-Trigue 3300 2.1 Speakers $12.87 after PM & MIRs

    Also, for those people who want to take advantage of the deal but haven't done so yet: Rebates are valid for purchase til 08/21/04 (this Saturday). For $12.87 (less if you argue for the 110% pricematch) how can you go wrong??? -special [k]

    Creative Labs I-Trigue 3300 2.1 Speakers $12.87 after PM & MIRs

    I have not had a chance to hook them up yet (I'm actually packing to go down for my 3rd year at school), but I am stongly considering picking up another set to create a pseudo 4.1 setup. They look great and the main "con" in the reviews I have read online is that they are pricey for a 2.1 setup...

    SPDT Switch, 2 Fans (Schematics)

    Technically it won't halve the voltage. In a perfect world it would, however we live in the real world where there are different manufacturing tolerances which will mean one will have a higher current draw than the other. However, the effect will be minimal with fans that are the same model...
