My Motorola cable modem is about 6 years old if not older. Might be time for an upgrade and I have Comcast overpriced service as well. Thanks for the info. On 3/7/2010 7:52 PM, Jeff Lane wrote: I just kept what I had, which is the basic overpriced service. They claim they give 12MB with the

Sorry for the delay. Constantly hitting a Surge Protector with surges WILL use it up. Most are sacrificial devices. Each hit grinds down what it will do next time. And the better ones come with lights to tell you when they are gone... If at all possible, this should be handled another way,

Am I right in remembering that I can use any version of Vista to install any other version? (So I can use a Vista Business CD and if I enter a Vista Home Premium COA number, I'll end up with Vista Home Premium?) T

[H] New Fans!

I am getting ripe to order new 80mm cooling fans for my LAN machines. Most/all of them have been running well for the past 12 or so years. I now have two that have cooling fans with fan bearings going bad. I need 18 80mm fans. !So many choices! I have already decided to buy 9 Noctua NF-R8-1800

I have some of those Noctua fans in the 120mm size in my system. very quiet. I can't comment on bearing quality other than to say they are quiet. That's majorly important to me. On 3/8/2010 2:17 PM, DSinc wrote: Noctua NF-R8-1800

I strongly prefer fans with fluid bearings (FDB). Very quiet, very good durability. I don't know what's good in the 80mm size, but I love the Scythe S-Flex 120mm FDB fans. The SilenX ones are even better, but more expensive. -Original Message- From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com
