I wanted to upgrade my old Mac Mini Mid 2007 MB138LL/A. Here’s what I did. Remember that I will not be responsible for any damage to your equipment. With most Apple computers, opening them can be trivial. The trick to opening this one is using a putty knife. There are no screws holding the case…
I read many good reviews on this Synology DS212J NAS enclosure over the internet and got interested. Before buying this, I’ve been using the Terastation TS-XE4.0TL/R5 for almost 2 years and it has been great. It has 4x 1TB drives. I have them set up in a RAID5 so I get a little over 2TB…
I posted problems with my OCZ SSD a few months ago here. I have gotten my drive back and it’s fixed. It didn’t take long for the RMA process, I just took a long time posting about the results. The whole RMA process took about a week. First I submitted a support ticket. I communicated…
I have been building another computer for a few months now that will be my transcoding machine. Here’s the latest addition. Newegg had this fan on sale and it has many great reviews. I was curious and figured it wouldn’t hurt to try it. Besides, I’m only running the stock heatsink (i5-2500K) and it does…
I’m really liking the new apps you can install for Spotify. It gives you stations based on the mostly listened to artists. And because Spotify is online, it will track your listening activities throughout multiple devices. You can also create your own radio station. The monthly subscription fee is only $10. I figured it’s a…
Monster Cables, the makers of the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, recently had a sale that took an additional 50% their refurbished products. I’ve been staying away from the Beats series headphones because they are just hyped and overpriced, though I have yet to try them out. I currently am using the Sennheiser HD202 and…

So I‘ve had my OCZ Vertex Plus since August 2011 and since then, I’m unable to install an operating system on it. I’ve been able to use it as a storage drive but that’s it. I have tried this SSD on a total of 4 different PC. ASUS P8Z68V-Pro with Intel i7 2600K Gigabyte Z68MA-D2H-B3…
I finally got confirmation of one domain successfully transferred over to my new registrar. One more domain to go. I’m leaving this domain with GoDaddy for now. I’ve also cancelled my hosting account and moved back to my old host, Hostmonster. They had a good deal during the holidays at $3.95 per month, so I…
Well, I’ll be participating in Dump GoDaddy Day (December 29, 2011). I will be moving my domains to another registrar and my hosting to another server. It’s ridiculous how they support SOPA. Many will also be dumping Godaddy. So for the next few days I will be moving my domains and hosting. It is possible…
