Not really. I got my replacement for $70. That's the price of 2 cheap supplies without me having to crack them open and put in a different fan. More importantly, I don't have to worry about them dying on me when I really need that computer to work.
You will be likely shortening the lifespan of your PSU doing that. I did that too, and mine burnt out after two years. When I got the quality replacement, I noticed just how much more surface area its aluminum heatsink had to keep it cool.
$60 is quite reasonable and it's very quiet. Considering how little you'll be loading it, the fan will probably never reach past 20dB. That's basically silent from 4 feet away sitting on the floor next to a desk.
Your idea would require a LOT of wire running from the PS on the floor for the different voltages, and the PS would still have to be well ventilated and thus off the carpet. There isn't much of a market for your idea at a $40 price. The near-silent Zalmans and the fan-less supplies already have the higher price points covered.
Finally, some people do put their systems in a closet or adjacent room and drill holes for the cables. Not much point in only separating the PS if the hard drive will still make a miniscule amount of noise. People who care that much just move the whole system instead.
What if I want my headphones to fit in my jacket pocket and not pull that side of my coat down? Oh yeah, I weigh 170 pounds so it's not like I have a XXL coat with giant pockets.
Lemme guess, you've taken a blind test and can year the difference between CDs and 320kbps mp3?
Finally, I'm not successful enough yet to drop $300 each on my music player and my headphones.
Most people aren't, so shove your snobbery up your ass.
Quit being lazy and edit the AIM.wav files. Mine are at 40% of their original volume and work well. I only hear them on the very first message of a chat.
Of course I have the right to tell you not to. I just can't stop you.
Your post makes you sound like a curmudgeon and probably insecure needing validation for still using Winamp. What were you hoping for, two to twenty people replying that they still use it? How very useful that poll will be.
Matter of fact I still use Winamp when I'm previewing songs before deciding to keep them and add them to iTunes. It also supports.spc for SNES music, which I still like. As for iTunes, you should consider how you make playlists and if you'd like to make them more varied, or easier to create, because iTunes is quite good for that. Although I'll be trying out MusicKube in hopes that it's iTunes plus the options Apple refuses to put in because they might confuse non-advanced computer users.
The original instigator, OrangeTide, was just trying to get your goat. So was I somewhat. I also think that self-created small minorities should realize just how significant they really are. That would involve going to the minorities and telling them, like on/. Oh, and insulting groups of people who can't change who they are is vastly different from insulting groups of people who can change their OS.
Yes, I did get your sarcasm the first time. It's just that what, 90% of the market is windows? The wants of that 10% divided into mac and linux are bound to be much lower priority, if one at all.
So you're reading and posting...why? You aren't interested in more advanced playlist generation, or quicker browsing by artist/genre/rating, so iTunes isn't for you.
Now if I just knew how to rename mp3 filenames and run a program or script that would update my iTunes database with the adjusted filename. Yes I prefer to not let iTunes organize my files because I have a non-iPod mp3 player and the files are more useful in folders based on their genre.
We have preserved mamoths, and we have elephants that can be artificially inseminated. Now I've heard that just to produce a cloned cat or dog still takes dozens or hundreds of tries, but are researchers close to reducing that number? How soon until mastodons can be reborn and live at a zoo or preserve in Vancouver or Anchorage?
There we go. That's the information missing from your write-up that makes it perfectly understandable to me. Their stupid attitudes plus you really not being at your best.
Someone who thought the dominant (right) hand should be most accurate for repeatedly jamming the "fire" buttons.
I'm a lefty but I'm happy with gamepad design, and also having the steering wheel in a car on the left side. That's always seemed to me as worse for righties.
Perhaps the fact that you're a professor and I wouldn't dream of being one has something to do with my interpretation of your events. Seems to me you failed to talk to the stewardess in a reasoning conversation when it would have done you the most good. You became aware the stewardess was interrogating you, but you didn't go far enough to explain your circumstances, nor explain the purpose of the Air Force material. If she had been a cop, you might have volunteered information to satisfy her curiosity and end the matter.
Nice advice, but I think you just excluded a large chunk of the market by saying they should own two bodies. The niche for the Sony is folks who want good looking pictures and some flexibility, without a lot of hastle or serious expense.
Those 3 seconds might only happen in low light, and only then it's more like 2 seconds. Moreover, if the cam uses a DIGIC II processor it's very fast in general.

Uh huh. The politicians have figured out that obfuscating the issues with sound bites wins them more votes. The media has by-and-large put profit ahead of responsible, informative political journalism. Most of the public meanwhile has become TV-watching zombies. 100 years ago they only cared about politics because there was less sports to follow or townsfolk to gossip about.

I know all that. Listen to yourself. You're so indignant it's like I trolled you considering how many words you're wasting.
Yes, I did get your sarcasm the first time. It's just that what, 90% of the market is windows? The wants of that 10% divided into mac and linux are bound to be much lower priority, if one at all.
Relatively speaking, that is correct.

Capitol Hill Blue has had 2 retractions in 8 years. I think you should back up your implication that CHB is wrong here.
If /. had editors they wouldn't have missed this DUPE from three days ago.
Then how does the xbox 360 support 720p without using HDMI?
Isn't component video analog? It supports HD. Or are you saying BD players won't have component video outputs?
I believe some Minolta compacts have startup times of 1 second or just under.
