At risk of blasphemy, I must ask if it is possible to do a clean install of Windows XP on a 24" iMac. I have an extra one, and I need to use it in a "Windows" environment, and I don't want to fiddle with Boot Camp. So I want to put in a fresh hard drive (probably an SSD) and install Windows...

Time to clean out the library. For $25 - I've got 70+ issues of Widescreen Review magazine dating back to 1993, and The Perfect Vision (mostly issues #25-44). If there's a specific Widescreen Review issue you want to make sure is included, let me know. I'm keeping the "Star Wars" issue (#5)...

So I just got the Onkyo 805, mostly for it's HDMI switching capabilities and the excellent Audyssey setup, but this thing runs way, way hotter than I expected. It's like having an industrial room heater. Is there any way to get the thing to run cooler? If I used an external amplifier, is there a...

I am looking for the following Laserdiscs. I'm going to use them to decorate a room, so I need the covers more than I need the discs. You could keep the discs if you wanted to. - Back to the Future trilogy, WS - Indiana Jones trilogy, WS - Classic WB and MGM films - Criterion films -...

After 4 years, I have decided to upgrade my DVD player, and I'm not sure if they make one with all the features I'd like. - Progressive scan- 480p with DCDI (1080i upscaling would be nice, but not necessary) - No chroma bug - Pillar-box 4x3 material on the 480p output (my TV forces...

I'm trying to hook up a card reader, and its only connection is an internal "header" plug. Well, my motherboard doesn't have a USB header, so I need to find another solution. I figure I have two options: 1. Cut off the existing connector and splice in a conventional USB plug, and snake it...

Well, my Canon i850 just crapped out on me. The new print head would cost ~$80, so I'll probably just buy a new printer. I print lots of photos, so I need the ink tanks to be easily refillable. Does anyone have a current recommendation?

I'd like to pick up a cheap PDA to read books in PDF and CHM formats, as well as play chess on the go. I'm not sure how CPU and memory specs work on these things, so how cheap can I go? Would something like a PalmIIIxe with 16mhz/8Mb be enough? More than enough?

I'm thinking of setting up a computer for my kids, since they are always screwing up mine :frowning:. One thing I'd like to do is have a "clean", working install, and everytime the system boots, it reverts to this clean state. I would have a seperate partition for keeping documents and stuff...

I watch DVD's on my computer, and I'm thinking about upgrading to an LCD monitor, but I've only heard bad things about ghosting on movies and games. Are the newer monitors good enough to compete with a CRT yet? If so, does anyone have a recommendation? I'd like to stay in the $300-600 range...

I'm thinking of getting a laptop to take on the road with me, and I'm kind of new to the world of portable computing. I'll be traveling a lot, and in addition to using it for business stuff, I'd like to use if for entertainment. I'd like to be able to: -watch DVD's and DIVX movies (are...

RCA DRC 232N DVD Player http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=2598456 www.clearplay.com I recently was able to borrow the new "ClearPlay" DVD player available from Wal-Mart. While I am not a fan of edited films in general, there are a few movies my 7 and 5 year old have been...

I'm not really into Fantasy books, but my son really liked the Wizard of Oz series, and now we're ready to move onto something else. We also read the first three books of the Chronicles of Narnia, but they were a little slow at times. Are there any suggestions of books that will keep us both...

Hi, I need some copies of Windows 98 SE. I'm not sure what the "rules" are for selling your copy, so maybe someone can clarify them for me. I need the full install licences. If someone had 98SE, and upgraded to XP, they need to keep the original 98SE discs, right? But if someone had a...

I've got a very small room (9.5'x9.5'x11.5'), and I'd like to put a 5.1 system in there. Right now, I'm leaning towards a set of 5 Ascend HTM-200. http://www.ascendacoustics.com/Main/...ts/htm-200.asp They measure 11" x 6.5" x 6.4" I'm willing to spend as much as I have to. I just want...

Yes, get paid to watch DVD's... We're looking for people interested in working full or part time as DVD testers. The job would include watching DVD's, and navigating the menus on different players. We schedule days, evenings and weekends, with lots of flexibility. All testing is done at...

You know the dorky stuff you do when you think no one's looking? Imagine your friends uploading it to the internet. http://jedimaster.net/index.htm

What exactly do I need to use the Behringer ECM8000 Measurement Mic with my soundcard (with 3.5mm mic and line-in inputs)? I know it needs phantom power, but do I also need a mic preamp? I'd like to keep this portable, so a battery powered solution would be preferred. I see lots of different...

I've got a Bravo DVD player with DVI output. You can now customize the DVI resolution as well. What is the best flat panel 19" for watching DVDs (without going stratospheric on the price)? Does anyone have a recommendation?

I'm finally going to build myself an "acoustic calibration rig", and need a laptop with USB input. It doesn't need to be any faster than ~300Mhz, with 64MB RAM. Is there a good place (other than Ebay) to find deals on these? What should I expect to pay for a one? They seem to go for about...

I'm just now hooking up my Sony STR-DA4ES, and I can't get it to output 5.1 channels. I'm using it as a preamp, so no speakers are hooked up to it directly. When I play a 5.1 DD or DTS source, the display says: 5.1 -> 2.0 It won't let me select any sound fields, and then I hit the "2...

I'm looking for a decent PCI Video card to run a dual display system. I won't be playing games or anything, so I think a 16mb would be sufficient. Thanks.

I need Microsoft office, but I could probably hold off on a purchase for a little while. Would it be worth it to wait for the release of Office 2003? I know Office XP can do everything I need right now (becuase I'm using it on 2 other computers). What I mean is, is Office 2003 going to be so...

I'd like to get some high quality reprints of classic movie posters and lobby cards from the 1920's-1960's. Is there a good source for such things?

If anyone has a set of 5.1 audio interconnects for my SACD player to connect to my receiver, I'm in the market for a set. New or used, I'm just looking for good, but economical, cables. Thanks.

Well, it's time to start camping with my 6 year old. I haven't been in a while, and I don't really have any gear to get started with. I'd like to get stuff that will last for a long time, but I don't want to spend more than I have to. For a home theater analogy, I'm looking for "Outlaw" type...

Is there a portable DVD player (with a 16x9 screen) that can properly display a 4x3 picture "pillarboxed" in the middle of the screen? How about the ability to zoom in and crop off the bars in a 4x3 letterboxed movie? I can't find any information regarding this issue. Most reviews only seem...

Well, my 89 Honda Accord with 215k miles just failed the smog check, and the registration is expired. I've bought a new car, but now what do I do with the Honda? -Can I sell it on Ebay? (obviously, I would be totally up-front and honest about everything wrong with the car) -Donate it to...
