My mom's wireless USB adapter (a D-Link DWL-G122) was getting extremely hot, and I was a little bored, so...

It has a little bit of AS5 between the HS and the chipset.

On the PC case.

Needed a little moar height than just on top of the PC case, so I put it on top of our printer on a nearby table, above the printer fan! How ingenious! And a little paper stand to compensate for height and weight difference!

Oh yeah, signal strength went up by 10% and it hasn't dropped a signal yet.

This is only for the time being actually, I might use them in the future.

I also might switch to zipties instead of those rubber bands, depending on how hot it gets. Melted rubber = suck

I would use it, but I need something to cool the SB...

HP LaserJet 5M, we use it for all our BW printing. It's very fast and prints crisply. The only thing I don't like about it is that it ghosts sometimes (gives you a faint image of what the previous page was), so it's not good for schoolwork and such. For that we use our Canon PIXMA MP750.

And yes, it's huge (and very heavy)

Does it shoot laser beams? Oh yeah so does the 4870 take up two slots then?

I said it takes up two slots on the back of your case, two inside your case, but only actually plugs into one slot.
