So the wiring in the buildings has reverse polarity.. or somebody replaced an outlet and reversed the polarity. I've always wondered why that happens but …

I was just trying to find any kind of source where a community has created a list of the best version of multiplatform games. Does anyone have a good source for this question? Do we need to start a resource? I know some of the opinions may be divided but we could do it in such a way to point out the …

Got this Mac Mini A1103 in the mail today. I did not have any PPC machines at all, and I was able to find it at 26 Euro plus shipping. I really did not have any plans on getting any Mac at all. But this one was cheap, it is small and it have PPC processor. It is working perfect and almost no …

Connected the broken fan pwr leads to the Hypertech Max Pro 200(WinChip 200) cpu. Added new heat sink compound after cleaning the old stuff off and clamped it all together. I'm going to apply a small dab of Gorilla Grip adhesive on each of the fan/cpu corners to hold them together when it dries and …

I ended up swapping out the mobo and cpu with a athlon XP 1800+ on the ECS K7S5A Pro. I do not use SSD, I am using a new old stock IDE and all of this is in the Rosewill Thor V2 ( has a gigantic side fan ) Unreal I see 112, but UT99 I get about 87 avg. I'm running UT G.O.T.Y. Edition so maybe there …

EDIT: Just realized this was a major necro...you got me new guy. This might sound crazy but I had problems with my Voodoo 5 downclocking, or at least I thought that is what it was, until I moved my SSD away from my CPU cooler.
