I am moving furniture around. I hate to do it, must still do. I want to put my tower on a shelf that is not tall enough for it to stand up. Will it hurt anything to lay it on it's side?

WNCKen I would like to throw my two cents in on the hard drive positioning... It simply doesn't matter. What DOES matter is do NOT move your desktop computer around while it is turned on. A hard drive in a laptop is shock mounted to avoid damage while the user...

Just curious if anyone else shares my hobby of collecting old computers? At one time, I had over forty old computers. I'm not talking about a stack of 386 PC's either. I everything from Atari 400's to a Xerox 820-II with dual 8"...

WNCKen Ahh, yeah... I remember getting a bunch of Mac LC's from a school system once. They used to be called Pizza Boxes by the geeks due to their shape. Most of them had System 7 installed.

WNCKen Three things: 1. A computer's natural enemies: Dust, Heat & Humidity. 2. If you remove a portion of the case to let "more cool air in", you are actually disrupting the airflow that was designed into your case. Most modern computers have at least three...

WNCKen Oh, man do I feel your pain! I was born in a tiny, speck-of-a-town in Indiana. When I was nine, we moved to Daytona Beach, Florida. When I graduated High School, I moved to the mountains of North Carolina (Asheville). For at least 10 years, when I told...

So what do you with it? Do you give your old computer away? Or do you salvage the parts which can still be used like the hard disk, RAM, optical drives & put it into your new one? Or you just don't mix them? Do you sell it part by...

WNCKen Well, thank you! I'm really bad about it though. I mean, I have a really old Palm Pilot that I used for all of one month before growing bored with it. It still sits in it's nice leatherette case, battery removed on my shelf of books. Why don't I just get rid...

WNCKen Actually, it's not okay. There are currently various fake bank checks and money orders floating around that are so authentic looking, they are fooling banking personel. Should you take one of these to your bank and cash it, you will be held liable once it...
