I'm actually having a different dilemma now... I still have the two 160gb hard drives, but I have an additional 320gb hard drive. My new laptop will be arriving soon, and it also has a 320gb hard drive. I'd like to purchase a 640gb hard drive to back up the two 320gb hard drives, but is it...

The warranty from three to four years is only an $80 jump, but they're offering a free $70 gift card, so it basically makes the difference negligible. As for CAD, I have a desktop as well, so if there's any need for an upgraded graphics card I can easily (cheaply) do that. I'm not even sure if...

I'm getting ready to purchase a laptop for when I leave for college in August, but I'm still not set on what to get. I'll be going into engineering (not sure which field yet), so I figure that I'll need a relatively top-end laptop with a decent graphics card. I plan on keeping this...

Still haven't heard anything, if PMs aren't working, could you email me at my username @yahoo.com? Thanks.

Sent you a PM a few days ago regarding how to control the fan speeds on the fan controller you sold to me... maybe your inbox is full? Get back to me, thanks.

All of the molex connectors seem to be fine and there were no scorch marks on the hard drive. When I plugged the drive into an external hard drive to format it, it worked fine; I only had problems when I installed it internally.

Whoops, yeah I forget to say that, I've got the RAM installed. The motherboard is seeing power I'm guessing, since the bridge fan that's connected to the board is spinning up and I can feel the cpu heatsink getting warm to the touch. The PSU definitely isn't the culprit since I tried a...

Thanks, thats great to hear! Yeah I tried resetting the CMOS and taking out the battery for a few minutes, looks like the board is toast.

The same thing happened to me when I first set up my computer - the problem for me was the metal stands to which you mount the motherboard on. For some reason, the diagram that came with my case depicted an additional stand that wasn't needed, so it caused an electrical short or ground problem...

Well, I bought a 320gb hard drive as a backup for my other drives, and as soon as I added it, I turned on the computer and received a Windows error message. I unfortunately didn't write it down, but the motherboard won't even post anymore. I'm RMAing it to Foxconn soon, but I'm worried...

Sent you a PM.

Bump for you, I've got an Athena C.5 speaker (came with the .5 set) and it sounds great for the price. That's a great price for that center.
