$6.99 - What a Bargin! (now if only it had no S&H)
Well was moving around the computers tonight, trying to “clean” my room more as it has been more of a dumping ground for my stuff vs. a place for me to live/relax
In moving my linux station around I kept having it get louder and louder, well it appears my northbridge chipset fan is dying, hince the growing hum of death.
In searching SOYO’s website I found they no longer stock the replacement fan as this board is now “Discontinued” so in searching around various other sites several folks said to go with the Zalman Aluminium Northbridge Chipset Cooler - the reason it’s a great replacement, No Fan. It’s made to suck the heat straight from the chip and disapate it quickly - thankfully I have 4 case fans so it should keep the flow in there cooler as this sucker shoots heat into the case. It’s a great deal too $6.99, however as noted by the topic, it’s shipping is $5, throw in tax and the grand total out the door is $12.49 - but as compared to buying a new motherboard/cpu/memory when the fan died and burns up the board, a lot better deal.
Also looking for a large SD card for the Treo, the 64MB is doing great, and I tried my 128 card, but it’s slllooowww - found out it’s only 2MB/s whereas the 64 is 8MB/s - so I am pricing a 1GB module that’s at least 8MB/s (though 10-22MB/s would be nice) - figure if that can be purchased I may do Yahoo Music’s subscription service as PocketTunes now does WMA subscriptions (aka PlaysForSure) so it’d be nice to have 1million+ tracks as I like on the Treo for casual use.
One thing still to be done is sell the Tungsten T3, my mom is using the V551 (though she’s not used to it yet) and I have my Jarba BT200 now up for sale as I got the BT250 on sale for $50 at OfficeMax, but its good stuff! So probably be having me a little virtual yard sale here soon, few items just laying around I really need to part with, so highly possible rock bottom prices
Well its’s coming up on 2:30, so I should get to sleep, lots on the To-Do on the Treo already ![]()
