i wouldnt be so certain about the speakers, i have a pair right next to my 17inch crt (no space at all, they are touching) and i have noticed no shaking. i have noticed that one corner of the screen hasits colours off. i did notice that spining magnets made it shaky thouhg (had a wierd water lamp) so it probably is interfering magnetic fields, but not likely your speakers, unless they are very powerful.

ya, stacking them will do that, also, putting them on top of hot object, (like a crt monitor) will get them to heat up more. to be honest, although they are designed to run hot, i find that they run better cold, and have had a couple get hot enough to crash. ( it was a really bad summer, and they were in direct sunlight from window) heat will not be likely to kill them, but as with all chips, heat reduces lifespan. and also: cooler chips run faster, and everybody likes faster chips....
so if you want to add cooling, you could check the power supply for you router (should be a AC-DC transformer, that steps down to like 9-12 volts)
as long as it is betwen 6-12 volts, you can splice into it to run a computer fan. just shave off some insulator from each wire, and solder your wires onto them. (right polarity if you will)
if you dont have a large cooling vent on you equipment that you can conviently allow fan to blow air into, then dremel youself up one.
if noise is a problem just add some resistors in series into the fan circuit. the amount of resistance depends on how quite you want your fans and what you source voltage is.
i have done this to a wrt54G, it now works fine, and i like to think its faster, it probably is, but not noticably. what i will notice is added lifespan.

"hell, its about time."
sorry had to be said.
in conclusion GG.

zig heil!
*does the chest salute*

wouldnt this also require your laptop to be on 24/7?
unless you have a cool laptop or a good cooling pad, this may cause problems.

ive never had a shuttle, but i have had heating issues with comps before, to solve: (in most cases)
1. get out your dremel
2. cut lotsa holes
3. fit fans to holes (set it up so air flows in one end, out the other)
4. repeat.
if you putt on enough fans (40mm fans are actually just about the best size to CFM ratio wise, if you get good ones) it will keep it cool easily.
there is never a thermal related problem that cannot be solved with dremels and fans.
(may want to look into a 5.25" bay PSU just for fans.)

dont worry about filtering... there is allways a way around that.

theres a really good site: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/SupportCD/OptimizeXP.html
this pretty much covers the basic tweaks needed, without going truly ape-shit crazy.
should help you figure out what you need to do.

i didnt know they made C++ training videos... i would love to see them if they do.... until then.. ill just use this 3 tonne book.

simply put, DRM is fascism.
-
o yes, NES was the greatest system of all history (at least all of my history, which is from 1989 up) and mario bros is the best game to grace my eyes.
-
DRM is one of those big 'clusterfucks' that just sit there leeching away at technology like, well, like a leech.
its honestly just about the worst attempt at managing digital rights i have ever seen.
and i personally boycott DRM, but i also slander them too.
one should not be satisfied with mere boycotting.

signature pics are annoying period, you have avatars for a reason.

reminds me of my first experience with video games: DUCK HUNT!
some say it permanently damaged me, i say, just because i think that RL is a FPS, doesnt mean im damaged goods

could you not just run a stereo plug from your line out to your line in and get you comp to record it that way?
or would sound card have feedback issues?
-
techno. and stuff from the 80's
songs like tetris by basshunter, industry by The modern, Twisted Nerve by MC Mario, etc.
-
so want all this in one box... running linux..
well the wired is easy.
but im not sure if self contained wireless exists. you may need to gut a wireless router or switch(if they make them) and mod it to fit in case.

first and second results for tanda333 are my hak5 forum profile.
3rd and 4th results are my instructables account
5th is my deviantart account
6th and 7th are my activity on the wasted talent comments section and my profile there.
8th and 9th are more hak5 stuff
and 10th, get this, is some wacked out Yahho! korea blog..... i will post link cuz its wierd.
http://kr.blog.yahoo.com/tanda333/MYBLOG/yblog.html?pc=5
basically it seems someone in korea thought it would be fun to use my user name.....bastards... i thought it was fairly unique, as it is a word based on a letter, a word, another letter, and another way to write 3 cubed. (hint... this should clue you into what my name means.)
anyways, that pisses me off. if i could find this person, i would hunt them down and kick them in the face with my mark III combats.
so when i enter my real name, i find out that i share a name with a football player (sean gilbert), also, hes black. i am not black. very different from me.
also, interesting to note, while doing research in grade 6, i found out that my father (scott gilbert) shares a name with a lemming researcher in the Yukon... wierd huh?

i dont know, ive had sseveral cheap harddrvies that die in under a year, and had some more expensive ones still lasting (7+ yrs)
ive never tried killing a flash based storage drive, but i suspect that the quality will have less efeect on the lifespan. i suspect this becausehard drives have more things that can go wrong, so i think that a cheap hard drive may not last as long as a cheap flash storage device.
but if flash based storage has lifespan problems, then what immediately comes into mind is why dont they incorporate RAID 6 into them. that way you divvide into, say 4 sections, and up to two sections can fail before the data is at risk, thus the drive can detect when one fails and send out a warning that drive will die shortly, and when 2 fail it will tell user to replace. sounds like it would be somewhat easy to do, even if it reduces storage cap.
anyways in essence..... flash drives, as i have heard, dont last as long under repeated stress. so perhaps vista has figured a way around that.....
sounds like a job for BATMAN.

i think you would need to find out how stereo and mono signals are transmitted differently.

im sorry, but hurcule FTW, he did survive a hell of a long time for a noob....particularily during the later parts of the series.
basically, whatever he was doing, he was doing it right.

wow, qwert is pretty good, but how about an admin pass of rm203. this was an old admin at my elementary school. the server room (thus his office) was in room 203.
he got canned later on and was replaced by the science teacher who knew little about adminning, buthad decent passwords. basically the admin does all the work setting this up.. gets canned, and the sci teacher gets paid extra to basically stay the course and leave what the admin did alone.
eventually the ass running the school realizes that you cant have a large computer network (the largest in the district, over 230 computers in 1998) without an admin.
so she hired another admin.

i geuss this is an example of "any press is good press" in that any attention attributed towards it, negative or not, causes it to proliferate
Is it any good?

its a very good machine, its actually better than my gaming rig: a pIII 880mhz with 384megs ram and a 32mb geforce2 mx200.
and aboput the windows thing; laptops dont respond well to being wipes and then started from fresh, some of them need special drivers before they will even let you try to reinstall windows.
but if you want to, you could go into windows, open cmd, and type format C:
i dont recomend it as it may be more trouble than its worth.....
