NAS Enclosures
Sat, 9 Aug 2008 16:07:27 +0100
I have a 2.5" sata laptop drive that I want to use as a network drive but I
have searched the interweb high and low for an enclosure to take it. I can
find loads of NAS enclosures for a 3.5" hard disc or cases for the 2.5" but
USB only. Could anybody point me in the right direction please.

Mildly OT: Recommend for a 1 port ADSL-ethernet bridge?
Sat, 09 Aug 2008 13:30:35 +0100
Anyone know any cheap but working ADSL2+ bridge (or more likely a
router that goes into bridge or half-bridge mode quietly and without
any fuss)? It only needs one ethernet LAN port.
I picked up an Edimax BR6642 load-balancing dual router, but due to me
misreading the specs it's got ethernet for the two WANs rat ...

I am looking for a Hitachi Travelstar 7K100 IDE 7200rpm 2.5" drive. 80GB or
preferably 100GB. They seem to have gone out of stock everywhere, over the
last couple of months.
The only place that I have found that seems to have them seems to be a trade
supplier. Has anybody here got an account with Blue Goos ...

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 11:39:47 +0100
Hi folks - finally got around to hunting down a free text news server
that carries a handful of my groups and seems to allow posting :-)
(Hence the previous post from me)
Well ... as above ... I need a very basic PCI-e GX for my wanna-be quiet

Crash!
Thu, 7 Aug 2008 13:39:11 +0100
So I ran SP3 and it crashed the machine. Yes I have Googled for advice and
this is obviously a common fault, yes it is an AMD machine. My instinct is
to not beat my brains out and do a repair install of XP Pro. This is not my
comp but a friends. Anyone out there who can help?
