Re: How do you cool your "computing area?"

in Milliways
I bought the Insignia U shaped AC because it's half the price of a Midea one. The guy at Best Buy said that it's made by Midea, but is cheaper because it doesn't have wifi. I installed it today. It has been on for about 1 hour. My bedroom is at 77F now (82 before) so, this is very good. I hope my …

Again, thank you all for the helpful information. I'm convinced now that I should stay away from the portable ACs. I will order a U-shaped window AC for my bedroom this summer.

Thanks everyone! @ThinkpadIL - I like the idea of being able to roll a portable air con from my office to the bedroom as needed. Are they really that bad, even the new ones? The split systems look very nice, but so expensive! Does anyone here use the U-shape window ACs, like Midea?

How do you cool your "computing area?"

As a potential AC buyer, I have a few questions for you guys. First, do you cool your computing area? Share below if you do! What type of cooler do …

Re: What game are you playing now?

Oh, me? I'm about to play one of my favorite arcade games from back in the day, Virtual-On: Cyber Troopers . In fact...IMG_0171.png I just got a cheerful pair of Win98 PCs all networked up for some two-player action! Short of owning the 2-player cabinet, this is probably as good as home Cyber …

Re: Quake III Arena Benchmark Thread

262 fps with P4 3 ghz and geforce 6600 agp 256MB. Sound on, and using the graphics settings recommended on page 1. It's more than fast enough to be playable, but I keep thinking it should be 100 fps faster, based on results I see on this thread and even the K6 Quake 2 and 3 thread.

Re: Retro confessions. What are yours?

I've got another one! I am probably the world's biggest Dell fanboy. No, Dell didn't start the IBM clone business. They didn't out-junior the PCjr with their own custom sound and graphics modes. Hell, they didn't even have the balls to affix "Never Obsolete" stickers to any of their cheapo Celeron …
