There's nothing quite like the Alienware Alpha. For just $500, it's a competent Windows gaming PC . But it should have been the flagship Steam Machine . The Alpha was designed to be a Linux game console with a gamepad good enough to replace a mouse and keyboard. As easy to use as PlayStation or...

Does anybody know if there are any websites or guides that explain how to actually build your own computer? I do not mean buying cpu, gpu, etc to put together a pc but really make your own computer? Couldn't find anything useful on the web so far but I hope perhaps you do.

Hey guys, I recently saw a picture of someone that had a P1 power cable where every individual wire on the cable was individually sheathed in, of course, custom sheathing. How is this done? Do the wires have to be disconnected out of the connector, sheathed, and reconnected? Or, can you buy a...

Testing a atx 24 pin power supply out of the computer. Are there pins that can be shorted to turn the power supply on while its out of the computer?

For several reasons, I'm considering adding a drive selector switch to my desktop, but all that I've found available are designed for a maximum of 6 drives. I want one that will handle 8 drives...5 SATA HDDs & 3 ODDs. I could put all of the ODDs on 1 switch, which would make the 6 drive switch...

I know that most everyone here has made a number of these, although they may just have thrown them in the trash. I decided that it would be a good idea to take the name literally and create a custom coaster set. I've not gotten too far yet, because I'm still experimenting with the LS templates...
