Network Storage..

Just got introduced to a network storage link from Linksys. This little storage link is very handy indeed. It allows you to connect on USB flash drive and an external USB hard drive. The only drawback is that you cannot connect two USB flash drives only one of each.. But is still a really neat device... Check it out on their page for more information...

• Connects USB 1.1 or 2.0 disk drives and flash disks directly to your network
• Share music, video, or data files with managed access by user name or group
• Integrated file server -- access your files from the Internet
• Built-in disk utilities -- format, backup, and scandisk

Just Got A New Mointor..

Have to give praise to this monitor the AG-191DPB by I-Inc. Normally I would say an off brand would be out of the question, but this is a great monitor.. You can purchase them at Tigerdirect for a reasonable price and it is well worth every penny.. The quality is great and it is very crisp. Makes my laptop LCD look dull and dark, lol.. I need to try them on a game to get an overall look, which should happen tonight. Even though their resolution is not up in the 1600 range they are still great for everyday use. Check them out under the 19" monitor section. The menu on the monitor is very easy to use and it was also very easy to install. Here is some quotation from their add.

Laptop Processor Upgrade..

I recently went through upgrading a processor in an old laptop from a 1.7 GHz to a 2.0 GHz. It has been a few days and it is running like a champ. I cannot say this enough though, you have to do your research. I found out that the older line of Pentium 4-m processors are interchangeable with the newer ones. I used Intel's site to research the one I currently had, with several from sites selling faster speed processors. I looked at the FSB, package type, and pin configuration. Once I compared several processors, I stayed with a 2.0 Ghz at the same 400 MHz FSB because that is what the motherboard currently has. With a little extra thermal compound (Arctic Silver) I completed the upgrade and am very happy.

You can get processor information at Intel's site.

Great Case to Have..

I recently got a case to put all my computer tools in. The case is made by Hardigg and it is very nice. Called the Storm case it provides a lot of protection for sensitive equipment and is completely water proof. I was able to place everything inside the case, including my laptop in the top layer. They come in an assortment of sizes to meet your personal needs.. You can also choose several different options as far as the interior, from pick-n-pluck foam to custom inserts, they are well worth the investment. It is made from high quality plastic resin and is guaranteed for life.. Check out more facts by clicking on the link under the pictures..

A Great Computer Parts Store..

I have found Directron to be one of the best stores to do business with here in Texas. Please try them out, I am sure you will not be disappointed. Normal ground shipping usually takes a single day in state, however, you have to pay sales tax. If you look though, it usually comes out lower or even in price to other sites out there. Check them out at the link below...
