Buy My Stuff!

I'm doing spring cleaning a little early this year boys and girls, and hopefully it will be to your benefit. I'm in a pretty big bind right now trying to find ways to pay for my next semester in college, so I'm getting rid of a lot of my stuff that is starting to collect dust. I really do have a whole lot of computer and electronics gear, so if you are looking for something specific or really generic ask me. I may have it and haven't put it on my list yet. I'm looking to sell this stuff fast, so everything is OBO.

Review: TRENDnet TEW-639R 300Mbps Wireless N Gigabit Router

Project: Gardens of Versailles Worklog

Project: Gardens of Versailles was a worklog I started in the summer of 2009 and was completed in late August of 2009.

View the video worklog, or scroll through the pictures and developing story below. Everything below is the step by step process as posted on TheBestCaseScenario.com.
 

Review: NZXT Beta Evo

NZXT's history in the computer case industry began with the Guardian way back in 2003. Six years later NZXT has created the Beta Evo, a mid tower black steel chassis that is best associated with the word 'classic'. With the ability to fit six 120mm fans as standard, does this mid-range case provide anything new to the case community, or is it just another uninspiring chassis? Check out the review TBCS here!

Review: Thermaltake Element G mid-tower case

Computer cases have evolved over time from unassuming beige productivity boxes to large, flashy, over the top recreational rigs that begged to be looked at. But does everyone want over the top? What if I want to be flashy sometimes and unassuming others? Thermaltake is giving us the choice with the Element G! It yearns to be a gaming rig and a number cruncher, but does it live up to all of Thermaltake's promises? Check out the TBCS review here!

Review: Thermaltake BlacX eSATA HDD Docking Station

The Thermaltake BlackX SATA Hard Drive USB Docking station is the perfect, hot swappable solution for drive docking, migration, and backup on the go. The storage peripheral is a useful – and now my preferred – alternative to external hard drive enclosures and removable drive bays.

How To: Disable and Remove Language Bar in Windows XP

One of the biggest pet peeves of mine is the little Language Bar that sits right next to the system tray in Windows XP. For the longest time I didn't know how to remove it, and disabling it as a toolbar would never work. First I will write just the steps out, and after that I have the steps and pictures for anyone who is more visual.
