Well, we have all of December to figure it out and set it up....

I have nothing to race with spam *points down* Help me pay for school, then I shall get rich and [legally] take over all the computers in the world! /spam

Got problems with one of my Win boxes (Athlon 2400). Thought it was the power supply, but now it looks like something else. Got a few spare parts around so maybe I can get it bac…

I have a bunch of machines crunching SETI BOINC, so far it's up to 34 GHz in total. But whomever/whatever 'E.T from Tellus' is, is up to 1.1 THz, fer cryin outloud. That's power…

So.... this is what happens in the War Room... *snigger* [edit] For what it's worth, I say we make a push in Einstein.

So after visiting my parents and using their PC with a DVD+RW drive I'm disappointed that I didn't order one with my Mac mini. I'd like to be able to copy DVDs and edit personall…

Internal means slim and slot loading, which translates into slow, expensive, noisy, and with only one drive you can't copy disks as easily/quickly. I'd go with an external. I like…

I'm not comfortable in cracking open the mini myself, regardless of warranty issues. Would Apple sell me a superdrive and install for a price? I'll probably end up buying an ex…

I was just browsing the "Mac mini setups" thread and noticed the last pic posted has a stack under the mini. Does anyone know if there are any planse to instroduce an external dv…

Unless you're asthetically stuck on the mac mini, you could buy a Superdrive and stick it in an external case for around $100. Maybe less if you shop smart. (Shop S mart... you got…

I have a Pioneer 110D slapped in an old Firewire case (from an Acomdata CDRW burner I got back in the day). Honestly, I prefer using it in Panther with Patchburn to using it native…
