CAT5e copper wire

WildChai — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:31:24 +0800

Hi,

Are the twisted pair wires inside cat5e cables full copper? Since they're full copper, won't they be easily bent and break? I am looking to get at least 100M of cat5e and the store owner tells me that they are selling full copper wire. Anyway to check? snap it?

thanks

CCTV Surveillance System

WildChai — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:37:50 +0800

Hi,

Need some advise. I am currently renovating my home and wanted to get some opinion on surveillance system. I have been reading online and found out that there are 2 ways of cabling. 1 is with normal coaxial cables and the other is RJ45 LAN cables.

Coaxial
-requires power point for the cameras

CAT5 LAN with Balun converter
-can provide power and transmit video feed to DVR unit or computer via CAT5 cable
-requires a Balun converter installed.
-does not require power point for cameras

any input or recommendations?

thanks

CCTV & DVR

WildChai — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:54:50 +0800

Hi,

I wanna get and install CCTVs in my home. Are there any CCTV camera and DVR using RJ45 video inputs rather than normal coaxial cables? If only coaxial cables can be used, any generic type to get? That can be used for most or all cctv cameras in the market. And any recommendations on types of cameras to get.

Thanks.

[WTA] Consumer Brand HT Sound System

WildChai — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 12:33:51 +0800

Hi,

My house is under renovation and planning to get a 42" LCD/Plasma for my living room. I need to get a 5.1ch consumer brand sound system to go with it. I intend to lay the wires through the plaster ceiling for the rear speakers and ceiling mount them...if that's possible.

My questions:

1) Recommendation for a decent consumer brand 5.1ch setup...those type of whole set shebang.
2) What sort of cable should I purchase to lay over the plaster ceiling? Can one type fits all different brands?
3) Should I also ceiling/wall mount the front speakers too...if the speakers are the tiny kind?

Thanks.

Hope I can get some good input. I am doing some home renovation soon....the whole 2.5 storey house. I am looking into which would be best....to hack and lay LAN cables throughout the house or just use wireless.

House Market Value

WildChai — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 19:05:59 +0800

Hi,

I am currently looking into buying a house. I have met with the agent that is selling the house and has given me the final offer price...which is from what I know...below market value. Based on 2 other houses that is within the vicinity.

For instance, the other 2 houses is up for sale at RM 500-530K. And the current house that I am looking at is RM470K. I think it's a good deal. But how would we check the proper or correct market value of the house? the houses are all of the same design and are just one or 2 streets away.

Can I call off the deal if i decided not to get the house even we have come to an agreement and the 2% deposit is paid?

thanks

Would you like flowers today?

WildChai — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 01:10:49 +0800

Obviously I have too much time on my hands to come here and post....and to start a topic...boy!

Questions for Venus:
Do you girls love receiving flowers often? (say once a month or every other month your partner surprises you with a bouquet)

Won't you get tired of receiving them?

Will it come to a point where it's so frequent that you feel that there's no meaning anymore....it's just a bunch of flowers again.

Do you think a guy should buy flowers for their significant other more often apart from special occasions?

Questions for Mars:
Do you guys send flowers to your significant other often? or just on birthdays or anniversaries?

Do you all find it a waste of money, having thought that flowers don't last....or she's already mine, why bother!

I have been asking my friends and colleagues a simple question..."When was the last time you bought flowers for your partner?"
Most paused in deep thought.....after awhile...."Long time ago"...."Only on birthdays"...."Never"

Just wanna get some input from both side of the fences. BTW...I have been sending flowers to my significant other almost monthly for the past year.....Yes and she's thrilled each time but thinking of easing up a little soon.

US Currency dipping...Salary goes along with it

WildChai — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 15:23:14 +0800

Like alot of other ppl that work overseas, some of us gets paid in USD. With the decreasing rate for USD to Malaysia, is there anyway to maintain our salary in USD?

Banks offers multi-currency accounts, but some requires the TT to be converted from USD to RM and back to USD to maintain in the accounts.

I hope that was clear. Any ideas from y'all?
