Purple. A nice professional yet slightly stand-out type shade. It is a little flare of colour, yet nice and dark to maintain a clean look. I am not sure how to describe it better tbh. Orange is good for something nice and bright though. :p

You mean on just one side? Try a hacksaw, it is just aluminum is it not? Make sure you stick a fan on the heatsink afterward though. :p If you do cut it, make sure you look at it from the side once mounted to check for gaps between the die itself and the contact area of the heatsink. It is...

I would really suggest drilling some holes in the motherboard tray of your case. To save the hassle of tapping holes, you can stick nuts on the back of standoffs. If you are using a drill rather than a drill press, your holes are not going to be the right size, shape, or location anyway. Brass...

Just as a general reference for anyone interested in G4 towers: http://www.outofspec.com/frankenmac/wire.shtml Also, perhaps you want to toss in a PATA or SATA card to regain ports lost? As far as removing the connector some would snip, some would pull the black plastic off and desolder the...

The issue is that the ATA connector is in the way of the wide CPU card itself. The QS heatsink is a different issue and would normally interfere with the CD/ZIP bays in a Sawtooth/GBE case. For the purpose of this conversation, Sawtooth and Gigabit Ethernet are effectively the same as far as I...

I used to cut smt capacitors with side cutters until I tried twisting. Now I am happy enough grabbing the top with some pliers and twisting while maintaining down-force, keeping the cap centred in it's plastic bottom. It seems to be faster than these videos of people pulling&wiggling, as...

There is a reset procedure involved in switching from HDTV to SDTV, as you likely read. Crappy display or not.

Having three wires seems to just be the way it is hooked up in the case of the Wallstreet. IDK about older PBs. Pull the heatshrink and/or sticker off to have a look. Someone with a spot welder could whip these things up really easily. Having a PB PRAM/backup battery database might be a nice...

You can buy UV protective waterproofing in either spray cans or brush/roll-on cans. If baking soda does not work and it comes down to washing the bag, you might try by hand in a bucket of water&vinegar before tossing the bag out.You could also use the time to wash&coat old tents as well.

I am sorry, my previous image was askew. But I did probe the six pins at that end of the WS/PDQ adapter to find that they are not connected to anything at all. My issue was not an incorrect jumper, it was no jumper.(but I use this adapter in my 1400 anyway, so no problem) Silly apple, covering...

Yes, but you can still follow them about and figure out what way things plug in. OP's question is already answered, but this is what I was talking about. Not all CF adapters just plug into the WS/PDQ because WS/PDQ tries to take over master/slave/cableselect pins and not all CF adapters follow...

I know I have at least one CF adapter that will not work in WS/PDQ because it uses a different layout for the master/slave/cselect pins. In that case the only option would be to snip off those pins and bridge on the PCB or desolder and attach some wires to a glued down header for easy jumper...

I am not sure about other asante units, but in the case of my Asante Mini EN/SC 10T as far as I know the only driver issue with whatever version I have used is they are not Open Transport compatible. At least, that is the only hangup I have encountered when using mine. I do not know if the...

You may or may not find the dye in the coolant breaking down eventually. And to be honest, plasticizer used in the tubing can leech and plug up things too. The way to avoid the latter is to go full metal or use acrylic tubing.

How does your riser system not just fall apart? Also, does this not already exist? They are only getting more common with SSD popularity and there are a few different variations, some tool-less even. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817998226

I seem to recall that actually being a thing.

Speak for yourself. I support the usage of said comic.

I would actually say as far as keyswitches go:(best to worst) IBM Model F IBM Model M Cherry MX green&blue generic buckling spring knockoffs Alps rubberdome boards I have had the fortune of not being forced to use some of the worst keyboards out there.. but my old Apple USB keyboards...

Today I took a picture of a different case, I am just going to leave it here: This had winXP and a P4 or something IIRC.
