In this project we're working on ventilating a Hard Drive case. This case is for housing an external IDE hard drive and interfacing it to USB 2.0

The case comes with a small fan, but I'd say it's just for looks, as it only has micro-slots for the air to come out of. There are slightly bigger holes in the front for the air intake, but not by much. So what's the deal? The hard drive gets hot! There's no airflow. Our mission - to ventilate it! The project involves routing out the fan slots to increase the non-existent air flow. Let's get to it!

I was trying to find a utility that would allow me to change my HD spin down time settings depending on the time of day. So that I don't have to listen to them when I'm sleeping. Didn't find anything. But I did notice that many people are having trouble finding how to set the HD spin down time or sleep time. So I'll offer my 2 pence.

What's a man to do about a PDA today?  I'm sure I'm not the only one that has been in the dark ages, and is now looking at getting a PDA.... but I look and look and look, and can't find anyone that has a good review on, basically, all  the PDA's, like a history outline.  Tell me when they came out, what features they have, pro/con, comparisons, PDA Brands -- HP, Dell, Toshiba, Sony, Palm, Acer, ...

I'd like to get something older on eBay, but there's so many out there, where do you start??? How old are some of these things out there? What are their differences? That's what I'd really like to know. I know what I need one to do, but where do I find a listing of what they do, all in one place, so I don' t have to look up every model.   And where would that end?!  HP has so many different PDA models, and prefixes, what's the deal?  At least with Dell you have an idea on what model is newer.  Aagh!  

  I can see a website that needs to be created here, if I only knew about PDA's I'd do it. Anyone want to help me with that leave a comment or send me an email.
