Looking for a PSU Recommendation

Hi Folks
All the forum seniors are always looking at my PSU with a suspicious eye, so, after stashing ~£40 i was hoping you all would be able to give me some advice on what PSU to purchase.
I'm a bit of a budget man, as you can imagine, but want the best performance possible!
I'm all ears and waiting.
Thanks
Asmar

Q-Tec just Rock...
Their PSU just works with NO special driver, Windows default driver for the PSU is enough...

Looking for laser printer recommendations (please read!)

I couldn't find a spot that fit this question and although I may not receive any answers here, this is a very active forum with members who are unafraid of new technology, so here's letting one rip...
OK, I've not had a laser printer in a number of years - when my beloved LaserWriter II NTX gave up the ghost. I find that I am lately, however, printing more and more text-only or text-heavy documents at home and going through black ink cartridges like a hungry lumberman through flapjacks. Although I've not looked into laser technology for years, I am wondering if it may not be more economical to print these pages on a 'personal' laser printer (I know that toner cartridges are not cheap, either, but they are less expensive, from what I've read, than using inkjet to print text-heavy documents) than to continue racking up rebate dollars by selling my soul for black ink cartridges.
So I am looking for a laser printer that can handle about 2,500-4,000 pages a month AND (here's the kicker!) have automatic duplex printing capabilities... I've never had this ability on a laser printer but I understand it's available on some models these days.
I'm not looking for an 'office capable' printer - maybe more like a 'small office'? No real need for Ethernet, yet, if it's a standard feature, I would certainly use it. A small footprint would be nice.
As I wander into the local Office Depot I am overwhelmed by the choices and yet stupefied to find that the 'hang tags' on many of the models don't really give too much information - page one can expect from a cartridge, connectivity options, duplexing capabilities (I seem to find none, yet am certain that I've read of their existence).
So my criteria:
1. monochrome
2. PostScript emulation (unless CUPS supports lasers? It'd difficult to tell by the ad hype yet Apple does seem to have drivers or, at least, Brother and HP laser printers). I don't want to be limited to 72 typefaces...
3. automated duplexing
4. small footprint
5. more economical to operate than an inkjet at 2,500-4000 pages per month
6. networkable, though served through another CPU via USB is fine
7. brand is not important - as long as reliability is high (and, like Brother, for instance, is supported by Apple)
Please leave a message if you should have ANY suggestions or, if you can point me towards a website with a good overview of what's available (and with actual tests would even be better!) I would be very appreciative.

Jamie,
I just wanted to thank you once again for your suggestion of the HP LaserJet 1320. I picked one up last week at Office Depot and, after I receive my $50 mail-in rebate, my total cost will have been $139.99!
The printer itself had an 'instant savings' of $100 off the SRP of $399.99 (and - for those who might be interested - this instant savings continues until June 30 - see the HP website for details.), bring it down to $299.99; I had an $100 Office Depot 'rewards' card plus a $10 'instant off' coupon from the previous week, bringing it down to $189.99 and there was a mail-in rebate for $50 (which, according to the paperwork, I can expect within 6 weeks) so... I was able to get a $400 printer for less than $140 (+ tax, of course).
Still, even with $14 tax, I have to assume that I would have paid at least as much in shipping AND I only had to drive for less than 5 miles, spend 20 minutes explaining why I did not want or need either the extended warranty or the Super Special Laser Printer Official Office Depot Very Special Customer Service Box (a cable, some paper, and a few other doodads for $60) and now I've printed a couple of hundred sheets and love the thing.
Had it not been for your recommendation, I likely would have forgotten the $100 Office Depot card until it expired and would not have sought out the printer there in the first place.
It's such a warm and fuzzy feeling to get such a deal on such a terrific little printer... and, so, I thank you, again.

Looking for a case recommendation - special requirements

I just moved up to an i4 from an i3G, and I'm looking for a decent case to protect the entire phone. I really need something for a rugged environment, and it has to have a belt clip. I have a very active job so this isn't going to be a pocket phone or sitting in the center console of a Rolls Royce. I have a Speck Tough Case on my 3G, and besides the extreme shock protection, it completely covers everything on the face except for the display. Spec makes a "Tough Skin" for the i4 but it doesn't cover the upper area of the faceplate like their Tough Case did for the 3G.
Any recommendations?

You should take a look at Fatpaint (http://fatpaint.com) - Free online graphic design and photo editing application, specialised in giving you the tools you need for creating designs and illustrations for iphone cases, ipad cases. The bcase brand is Speck, and is of great quality.
It is possible to paint, draw make pages and see your pictures on products and buy them, such as: iPhone case, iPad cases, t-shirts, sneakers and much more. Checkout the tutorial videos, it is quite interesting ...

IPad took a dive, glass shattered, looking for some repair recommendations

My daughter's iPad 3 landed face down last night and shattered the glass. It still functions properly, so I know it needs only the glass replaced and not the LCD. I found 4 companies which look like reasonable candidates (actually I got them from another ASC thread...)
http://www.repairzoom.com ~$120
http://www.imobilerescue.com ~$166
http://www.i99repair.com ~101
http://www.iheartrepair.com ~$145
Does anybody here have any experience with these places and willing to give a recommendation? A warning? A recommendation of another place?
The most expensive place makes a big deal about how they use OEM glass -- and I would be willing to pay more for that if I heard a strong argument from folks here. The other places claim top quality parts, but not OEM parts. Any thoughts?

If you comfortable using a screen protector and the iPad works fine that way, then that sounds like the least expensive option at this time. Eventually you will want a new iPad anyway.
Be sure to keep an up to date backup of the content, either on your computer or in iCloud...a device with a broken screen can suddenly stop working. Keep it up to date so you don't lose your content.
A third-party, nonApple authorized service may do just as good repair work...but, again, the down side is loss of support from Apple if anything else goes wrong.
If you buy off eBay, be VERY cautious...there have been a number of users lately asking what to do with a purchase they cannot activate...an iOS 7 device with Find My turned on cannot be reset to factory condition without the user's Apple ID and password...not even Apple can help with it. So be absolutely sure you are buying a device that is clean and you can use.
Best of luck to you, and Happy New Year.

Looking for car stereo recommendation

I would like to buy a new car stereo (budget $200) to connect to my iPod. I will use my existing speakers.
My #1 priority is ease of use.
My #2 priority is display of full info (track name, artist, and, less importantly, album).
Does anyone have any recommendations?
I thought I would ask here because I'm assuming folks that hang out here are more likely to be sympathetic to the need for ease of use (as opposed to feature lists, power, etc.).

I have pretty much the same question as the OP, so I'll bump this thread.
Two specifics that I want:
1. For ease of use, I want to be able to manually adjust radio station (90.1->90.3->90.5, etc). Many of the stereos I see now only seem to have presets and scan.
2. I normally pick a playlist on my iPod and have it play in shuffle mode. I understand that some car stereos don't support this. I would like one that does.
Double DIN would be cool--direct replacement for what I've got. But they aren't as common as single DIN, and they seem to cost more.

Looking for Virus Protection recommendation

Call me quick, but I've just clued in that Virex hasn't been doing very much (as in zero) for me since June of 2006!? I now understand that Apple has dropped support for Virex from .Mac.
Meantime, I'd love to get some recommendations for virus protection - Mac specific.
Any good suggestions??
Thanks!!!

There are no viruses in the wild for OSX yet, but there is Clamxav if you are feeling paranoid (or venture to the dark side).

Looking for printing lab recommendation

Ordering prints from within aperture uses 4x5 dimension which requires too much cropping on my camera. Can anyone recommend a good source for prints of 3x2 dimension ie 12x18 instead of 16x20?

Good luck with that.
I do not believe that you will be able to find a Verizon-provided mobile handset which is compatible with iSync. Several Verizon-provided smartphones can be synchronized with Mac OS X using the appropriate Missing Sync package, but none are available for anything close to $ 100.00, and none are supported at all by iSync except—and not particularly in a robust manner—the Palm OS devices you are not interested in.
I don't believe that you will find a Verizon-provided mobile handset with Bluetooth OBEX file transfer capabilities either: Verizon intentionally has this profile defeated, effectively forcing you to pay 5¢ per transfer using their GetItNow! option.
And, I don't get the iPhone 'service plan through the roof' claim. I am no fan of at&t, but among the four major carriers, at&t iPhone plans are actually some of the most reasonable. Far less expensive, on balance—and, with fewer restrictions—than the data plans offered by Verizon.
I don't think that your observations or expectations could be characterized as reasonable, given all of the evidence to the contrary in the market.

Looking for Some Recommendations on A Printer for the 15" MPB

Hello-
I have a 15" retina display MBP configured in the works. I have only used Cannon printers in the past with my Apple computers and prefer to stay with a Cannon for the new MBP retina dispaly. I am looking for some personal recommendations to look at from people that have a current Cannon printer/scanner and are pleased with the machine.

I got one with my computer that I love. I'm a fan of all-in-ones because I have every function there if I need it. Plus, this one has airprint, so you can have the printer join your wifi network, and instantly print to it from any iOS device or Mac without any setup - it just works.

Looking for product recommendation

Hello,
I'm looking for a product recommendation and configuration suggestions. I'd like to provide wireless access to the Internet (as well as our internal network) to people who bring their laptops and other wifi devices into the office.
Our network currently looks like this:
Internet --- DSL modem --- Firewall --- Switch --- Users (wired)
Which product should I use, and where should I place it in our topology? Between the firewall and switch?
Thanks,
Steve
Message Edited by generaltab on 09-10-2008 04:30 PM

You use WRT300N router and replace the firewall or place after the firewall on the queue you have specified and then connect the switch to router. Linksys routers have inbuilt firewalls.

Looking for a Rewind like app for Tiger

Back when I had my Performa 6360 running OS 8.1, I bought a utility called Rewind from Power on Software. The app could restore my Mac to an earlier date, or restore any file that had been deleted from the trash,etc.. It was more poweful than the similiar features found in TTP, and Norton.
Does such a utility exist for OSX? Rewind failed (and why Power on is trying to hide any indication that it ever existed) for a number of reasons. For one the utility slowed down my Mac by 50%, and for two the utility created huge archives, and often corrupted its restore rescue soft boot image.
I know such a utility may not be as essential in OSX as in the earlier OS. That os would often crash for one. My ibook has crashed no more than 20 times in the 10 months I have owned it. My Performa crashed that many times in 1 month alone.

You wrote: "But I am afraid that Retrospect is not the same as Rewind, or Norton Go Back for Windows."True. However, since you have Retrospect, if you're using Backup Sets for backup, you can Restore a disk for which there is a Backup Set to any point in time for which a backup session exists.
Perhaps the reason there is no Rewind or Go Back for Mac OS X is because it is far more stable than Windows, as you note.
Next time you're looking for solutions, I recommend searching MacUpdate or Version Tracker. The user-submitted reviews accompanying the listings are helpful in sorting the wheat from the chaff. Both commercial and shareware/freeware solutions list on those sites and you'll generally find an answer faster than posting here.
You wrote: "Therefore I have come to the conclusion that this is yet another limitation of owning a Mac...No question my XP box has many advantages, but its also quite obvious that OSX is far more stable and secure than XP."Only you can decide for yourself which platform fits your needs best.
Good luck!

New Mac user, new to Wireless - looking for recommendations on a router

Hello all! I am new to Macs, and to wireless in general. I just bought a used Powerbook which of course has wireless capability. So my next step will be to set up a router. However, I have no experience with this, and am definitely not a computer geek at heart. So I am looking for recommendations on a router/wireless network system that seems to work well with Macs (and PC's as I now have both) and doesn't require vast amounts of computer networking knowledge to set up and get working. What works well? What should be avoided? Many thanks for your input! (Oh, if it makes any difference, my internet connection is DSL.)

I would strongly recommend the AirPort Extreme. Its simple, doesn't do much but it does the job perfectly. It never drops out and the distance of the signal is far (you can be online in your back and front yard). And its really easy to setup. And it works with both systems. But I do recommend getting a new one instead of a used one because you'll need the newer version of AirPort Assistant to set it up because older version of Tiger doesn't have that programme pre-installed.

I have a MacBook Pro 5,4 running OSX 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10. A website i like has a known bug with 5.1.10 and recommends I install a newer version of Safari or use Firefox or Chrome. Just looking for advice on the best approach. Thanks!

Unfortunately, Safari cannot be updated past 5.1.10 on a Mac running v10.6.8.
So, the options are to upgrade to a newer OS X or use Firefox or Chrome.

If so, you can download and install Mavericks for free from the App Store.

Looking for recommendations - iCal substitution (different calendar or task manager app)

Hello everyone,
for some time I'm looking for iCal substitution/replacement. I'm looking for a multiplatform solution (idealy OS X / iOS / Win). I'm a head of small team (5 subordinates) and iCal no longer suits me.
I'm looking for a task manager or different calendar application where I would be able to manage all the tasks my team has. So far I have found application Wunderlist, which is very close to what I want (basic version is free, it works on OS X / iOS / Win and synces through their servers) but it misses some crucial options (monthly view for example).
Also I do not want to and will not use any Google service.
Thanks for any recommendations!

I am trying to find an app or software to burn iMovie 11 slideshow to a dvd. I have a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. There are a lot of DVD Creator apps at the App store. Looking for a recommendation of what to use and tips. Thank you.

I've been using "Burn" for years and it has been the only DVD burning software I have ever used for the mac. I have never needed to look at other apps. Unless you want something that has more bells and whistles such as Roxio's "Toast" : http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/pro/overview.html
There are thousands of quality free apps out there for the mac that are not part of the App Store. All you have to do is read reviews online, do a little search, the Apple forums are full of recommendations from experienced users that have been here for years...
