I was recently asked to list a UPS for a family member, but I have no idea on pricing. It's an AEC ST2100L-3KVA.  According to the serial number, it appears to have been manufactured around 2015. I'm guessing they're around R3000 without batteries included (as mine doesn't have any inside the...

Hi all So about a month ago I sent my precious Logitech G213 keyboard in for a replacement, as some of the keys had gotten abnormally difficult to press.  I have tried to get an update with no real luck.  They did at least confirm that it arrived, but I never get a reply with any real...

Good afternoon, all I have someone the US who is quite keen on something I have (don't want to give away too much :giggle:). Anyway, he offered payment via PayPal.  As far as I know, they take quite the cut fron the side of the person who is paying.  I.e. this 'buyer' would be paying an extra...

An excellent YouTube channel!  No in-video advertisements, very educational and quite interesting. I'd recommend you give some of these videos a watch, even the >1 hour long ones.  It's all very old cases, and naturally the quality of the cameras used in the interrogation rooms are pretty bad...

https://youtu.be/IUDTlvagjJA What an impressive demo!  Even listening to it through my El Cheapo JVC headphones I was extremely surprised at how immersive the 'experience' was! Enjoy :popcorn:

I think I read somewhere that flat cables are better than round cables, iirc something about the natural flat shape having less inductance or some rubbish.  Was a long time ago. Really interested to know if there are any technical reasons as to why one should consider flat cables.  They...

These garden-variety pebbles are 101% guaranteed to vastly improve not only sound quality but also reduce listening fatigue, reduce harmonic distortion, improve imaging, you name it!!! :groovy: :groovy: :groovy: Sounds too good to be true?  Of course it is... not! :Whoohoo: Go ahead a buy a...

I was thinking the moderators could open a PIF (Pay It Forward) section?  Should allow for some interesting items to appear. For those not 100% familiar with the term, you basically give something as a freebie.  But then the person that picked up said item has to give up something of similar...

Sometime back in July I got a new Dell laptop plus a matching Dell monitor of pretty decent specification.  Needless to say I was very excited!  First up, I remove and throw away the 500GB 7200RPM drive (hehe, not really) and replaced it with a WD Black SSD.  This SSD was gifted with a fresh new...

Hi all I have a hole that needs some retapping, and a screw that needs to be run through something that has tighter tolerances than a simple nut. I have tried the local Builders, but they had nada. Thanks in advance :thumbs:

I was hoping we'd do better than last wees :facepalm:

As a computer enthusiast, I would like to present to the community three different methods of improving thermals on your computer. Everyone knows that most manufacturers like to go the cheap route. We are in a very competitive market, and whomever has the best price to performance/value ratio...

I have a pair of vintage Philips RH496 speakers.  The drivers are in perfect condition, but the cabs need some work. So I have two options.  I can either restore the original (sealed) cabinets.  Or I can go the very popular route and build a pair of open baffles. I really don't care which...

Hi all I need some replacement capacitors for an old pair of Philips speaker I have.  Want to try and restore them as well as possible, so I figured I'll start at the xover and then move to restoring the cabs. Here are the values on the caps (total is 4 caps per speaker xover)... 1x 3.3uF...

I would purchase some components from Mr. Croak, here and there.  Sadly, now that he's gone, I'm not sure where to get the stuff he sold. I am in need of some Mogami 2534 cable.  Anyone know someone that sells the stuff. Thanks!
