  1. It's cool, I can take the heat if needs be. Please direct your discussion to the megathread:
  2. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/183-show-off-your-setup/
  3. It's more complex to make and I don't know exactly how it all works to be perfectly honest. If i were you, I would just stick to making a basic sealed enclosure as that just requires sealant and you don't have to deal with this "ported" business.
  4. I guess it depends on how handy with the tools you are haha.
  5. Wow thats pretty great. I heard an advert for them this morning on the radio and didn't expect much. Might actually go have a look come boxing day..
  6. I'm not too well versed on the Canadian Monitor market, but these two look alright: Asus VN248H Asus VN238H I guess they're pretty much the same bar different screen size. I'm sure someone will come with a better suggestion, but if it were up to me I would go for that first Asus option. No idea on shipping to Canada through NewEgg, mind.
  7. What features are you looking for? Resolution: Bezel type (matte; glossy): Inputs (HDMI, DVi, VGA, DP etc): Refresh Rate:
  8. I'd suggest a standard sealed box. Just so you know it works. Here's a decent guide on the process involved in making a box
  9. Did you properly seal the box? One of the reasons you need a sub box is to provide that low-end 'punch'..this is achieved by a properly sealed enclosure (you can have ported boxes which produce a slightly different sound but that's beside the point). From your pictures it looks like you have just nailed a couple bits of wood together, this is going to allow air to leave and not produce a deep bass sound you desire. If it isn't sealed, I would take the box apart, use glue, screws and a silicone sealant on the inside.
  10. If you have a copy of the advertisement where it says SSHD, I would take that, along with your laptop to the shop and ask to speak to a manager. Failing that, contact advertising standards - although not sure what they will do besides "we will review their practices" or something like that.

  15. Edit: I think it was moved because it fits closest with this sub-forum (i.e you have some shots of installing components.) HTH
  16. I would just try on different glasses. Remember it's the lenses that do all the work. Find a decent pair that you like then get the right lenses - different styles suit different face types/ / people; i'd search around and find a pair for you.
  17. Kind of pointless thread. ESP in GD. Locked
  18. Awesome job. How did you explain it to Virgin exactly? Also, did you have to get permission from the council to put the receiving dish on the telephone pole; or did you just do it anyway?
  19. It doesn't really matter about why you're discussing it; more about what you are discussing. As you are discussing keyboards, it belongs in the peripherals section. Is that fair?
  20. Moved to Peripherals. Please ensure you post in the correct sub-forum next time. Cheers
  21. Will merge threads with: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/494151-apple-may-remove-headphone-jack-on-next-iphone-oh-hi-there-android/
  22. If you want a solid, reliable and quality feeling keyboard with no frills then I suggests the Filco: http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard/italian-filco-majestouch-2-nkr-click-action-keyboard.asp Comes in Italian layout and under 150 euro.
