I wrote a long, long time ago about my adventures trying to find a wall wart for my old 8-port Netgear dual-speed hub. The other day I stumbled across a novel idea for a replacement.

I let this one slip by this past week, but Lindows has a new coup, to go with the $199 PCs at Wal-Mart: a $799 subnotebook.

It's late, so I'll save a lot of the gory details for tomorrow, but I built a PC over the course of the last couple of days. I did it a little bit differently than the last couple I've built.

In case you haven't heard about it elsewhere, there are some recent motherboards having problems with leaky capacitors.

Just as PCs seem to (or sometimes really do) get slower as they age, PCs also tend to get louder as they age. Considering many of them are plenty loud when new, that's not good.

The Lope I-Tee computer case is, well, shaped like a T.

I saw a thing on Slashdot this morning about water-cooling your power supply. One word: Don't.

A good question came up here yesterday: How do you know when your power supply is causing problems?

Cheap PC upgrades

I rebuilt my video editing system this past week.
