    Shipping monitors

    Very true! If you dont have them, you can create custom inserts with a stiff high density foam, some scissors and hot glue. *added photo These are the boxes from the monitors in my office. They, instead of styrofoam, have molded cardboard & HD foam inserts. When shipped, the stand is off and...

    Shipping monitors

    Ive received a number of them over the years. All of them shipped in tight/form fitting sections of dense foam in such a way that they did not move. Also, the panel wasnt directly up on the box. The boxes used while not huge, were always big enough to provide open space around the lcd. The foam...

    IDE/PATA to SATA for iMac G3 rev a

    This correlates with what I have heard - specifically the startech adapters with red pcbs like THIS one. I have had green ones work before but they are really hit or miss. The majority of them dont work in my macs.

    A Buddy Has A Windows 10 Problem: Automatic Update Deleted Some Things...

    Just call up Microsoft. Surely they would send you an unlimited windows 11 license for the inconvenience. . . April Fools :D Could he restore to a back up before the update where his stuff is intact? Or perhaps rollback the update (although I'm unsure if that would return the win apps or...

    When Was The Last Time You Dumpster Dove? :)

    Yanno, I lie. I did find a little AT case and (if rough memory serves me) C2Duo or maybe it was an AMD Phenom Compaq at the dumpster of my condo before I moved so this was probably around 2016. I cleaned it up, repasted the guts, slapped a decent silent no-fan GPU in there along with pci...

    Anyone else a huge fan of the Alien franchise?

    I recall that actual TNG episode. IIRC Dr.Crusher is getting the business end of that disruptor in this scene.

    When Was The Last Time You Dumpster Dove? :)

    This recycler mentality never made sense to me although the recyclers I know around here are nice people and would find a solution vs being a jerkus about it. I wonder if something like Free Geek could exist in the UK diverting good, useable hardware back into the community. That as a...

    When Was The Last Time You Dumpster Dove? :)

    I get alot of wood this way as well. Saved from projects and stuff that sometimes just gets left out for pickup. Im no wood worker per se but I have a nice stash of quality wood in my garage overhead from this. If you were to go buy quality high grade wood these days, man its SO expensive.

    XServe without a rack?

    I would 110% do the lack rack if I wanted to be single. It *would* make for an awesome conversation piece in the living room and reminds me of right before I met my wife I had a BB iMac g3 slot loader pointed straight up through a glass top end table which I used as a juke box because iMacs are...
