If you guys have any babysitters to recommend, or is interested to babysit my baby, please contact me:

Anyone encoutered such sales gimmick?

Have you ever had this experience where a direct sales agent asks you to put your hands behind your back and clamps your hands together then he starts to press you down his fist on your hands in attempts to topple you backwards. then he ask you to drink something. does the same thing again But this time you won't topple cuz you're now allegedly stronger... I think it's very much just physics...

everquint — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 02:11:48 +0800

Just trying stuff out, see if they're worth it:

Rig application:
Play games
Render HD Movies (Home made)
Acts as media point to HDTV

What's inside:
i5-2400 Quad 3.10 - 6MB
Gigabyte P67-DS3 B3
Kingston PC3 10600 DDR3 1333 4GB X2pcs
WD 2000GB Green SATA 6 Gbps
Sapphire HD6870 Flex 1GB-D5 256
AVF EXTREME POWER 650watt
Acer S201HL LED 12Mil 5 A+D
SONIC GEAR Evo 3 Platinum 2.1
Samsung 22x DVD R/W
AEROCOOL QS200
Logitech G100 Gaming (KB/M Set)

Based on average pricelist, this will run me about RM3000

Worth the money?

My Build

everquint — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 22:38:06 +0800

I'm going to setup a machine for work / gaming purposes and would like to hook up to my 40" LCD home theater system.

Would the following build meet my needs?

Phenom II X4 955
Gigabyte 990FXA-D
Hyper X 1600 CL 8GB
Samsung (SE-S084) BLACK
WD 1000GB Blue 6Gbp 1TB X2 (Raid)
Standard ATX Casing + PSU
Powercolor HD5750 1GB DDR5
Acer S202HL 20" monitor
Wireless Keyboard / Mouse

Current setup with printer and speakers would cost me roughly RM3000

Is there anything I could do without to lower the budget without cutting back on my performance needs?

Thanks~!

Recovering files from SATA HDD

everquint — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 01:22:57 +0800

Hey guys, I've got a problem.

Motherboard doesn't seem to be able to detect my SATA HDD, now running on old 40GB IDE HDD.
When I plug in my SATA, start-up becomes really slow, and I can't seem to boot from there. I'm not sure if its a Mobo problem or a HDD problem cuz last time this happened, I reformatted my HDD and everything was ok again. Its actually detectable in Windows, but impossible to open the files, much less copy them to a backup folder... I've got some really important files in my HDD that I want to recover..

Do you think a USB to eSATA/SATA Bridge Adapter would help me solve my problem since my Mobo can't detect, hopefully my USB can pick up a signal? If you think it might work, where can I get a device like this? Anyone selling this in Lowyat?

Using Pocket PC to Dial Numbers

everquint — Sat, 25 Mar 2006 12:27:54 +0800

I've got a HP iPAQ rx3715 and I want to find out which are the phones that I can buy so that my Pocket PC will be able to dial or send sms from it through my new handphone via Bluetooth?

I also would like to know what are the softwares that are needed to syncronize a Pocket PC to a Handphone?

I was eyeing on a cheap bluetooth enabled model, Sonyericsson K700i
but I want to make sure my PPC would be able to work nicely with it.

Is there any other bluetooth enabled mobile phones in the market that are relatively cheap and will let me dial through my PPC?

Thanks~!
