Re: Close projector

hopefully about 31 inches, but it will probably be smaller. I have now taken exact measurements. I have 29 inches of space to work with, including the length of the projector.

Hope this helps

Close projector

Hi there,

I am currently working on a projector which requires projection from about 1 1/2 to 2 feet from the screen. Is there any projector on the market that can do this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Tekgek.

Laptop charger port issue

Hello, I have recently run into a little trouble with my laptop. The charging port on my ASUS M50-Vm has come loose, and no longer charges the machine. It may be out of warranty, and I was wondering where I could get this problem fixed, if anywhere, without getting a new laptop. Any help is greatly ...

Re: Water cooling question

Okay, I have successfully narrowed my choices down to, for air cooling, the V-10, and for water cooling, the Corsair H50. Which will it be, people?

Re: Water cooling question

To be completely honest, the reason I was looking into water cooling is to keep idle temps down. They are pretty high, and I am concerned about the lifespan of the CPU. This hardware isn't cheap, you know :) .

Re: Water cooling question

Okay, I'm probably going to go with water (I live in a fairly warm area), so for the i7, I need REALLY good cooling, methinks. As for the noctua cooler that we were talking about earlier, I think someone I know would benefit from that. Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it :mrgreen: Tekgek

Re: Water cooling question

Hmmm, maybe I made my decision too quickly :) I'm reconsidering water cooling. Does anyone know anything about the Apex Ultima H2O-220?
