I heard this from a sales associate at my old radioshack (where I use to work). The parts/parts drawer will be phased out by January. This is atleast in Union county, NJ. He said they (Corp) might price down the parts for clearance, so stock up. Good thing for me though, is he suggested a good...

I need to step up a usb's 5v to 12volts. 9volts are also acceptable. This is for a laptop cooler, using a radioshack (Nimec rebranded Gamma28) slot fan http://www.nidec.com/gamma28/gamma28.htm Can anyone help me out?

This is just a fyi for those who need new rechargables. You know that digital concepts brand, the one that has stuff from plastic screen guards to camera stands to what not? Well, National Wholesale Liquidators has a combo charger and 4 2000/2200mah AA batteries for 9.99. They also have a combo...

I want to build one of these http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/79be/ since 25 dollars plus shipping seems a bit too much for a simple circuit like this. Does anyone know how to make something like this, or know a site where I can go ask? Thanks.

I need some help. I am trying to build a usb audio adc/dac using the pcm2906 from TI using the pcm2902's evaluation board. I created a list of parts needed, but need some tips. Resisters 4x 1.5k? RA001(3) R001 2x 22? R002 R003 1x Jumper R004 1x 1M? R005 1x 22k? R006 9x 12k? R007 R101 R102...

I been trying to find a connector to use for my adc/dac usb thingy. I tried mouser and digikey for s/pdif and toslink and all but no dice. I need one that is compatible with TI's pcm2902 evaluation board.

From http://www.secondhandmonkeys.com/index2.php I'm trying to find the boxy ones on the left. They are supposed to be from some Asian manufacturer, and come without the graphics. I'm trying to locate one with more memory. For some reason, they remind me of a missle launcher.

How would I go about using multiple caps in the place of one cap (Like using multiple batteries in series to increase the voltage, I need to increase the uF by using multiple caps)? How good is Bell Wire or Cat 5 wire as lead wire inside an amp? And can anyone recommend a good, cheap 10...

I have been looking at the schematics for the cMoy and have to ask, why place the volume pot infront of the amp? Why not place it after it? Cause wouldn't a volume pot placed before it act exaclty the same as the sources volume pot? -- Side question, has anyone used photo flash capaciters in...
