I was wondering if the plastic thermal shield can be removed and low and behold you can see it right here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fl7IVKkPt8&t=450 The board looks great without that plastic shield. I'm just trying to find a ram kit/video/power supply to match the green/black colors.

I really need one of these.

Can the blue power LED module be removed? Do you think it can be changed to another color?

I ordered the Dell 2209WA. I really hope it is good as people say. I'll also be working on a way to change that power led to green.

I hear you. I want a new case also (my old coolermaster elite can't handle long video cards). I replaced the blue led in it with a green one. It was fairly easy to do - all kinds of kits/colors available (example : http://www.startech.com/item/BEZELWRKIT-ATX-Case-Front-Bezel-Wire-Kit.aspx.) I...

As I mentioned, I am PICKY about certain things. I hate blue LEDs and some other people do also. Blue LEDs are much brighter than your average older green or red LEDs. Having an eye-piercing blue light in a darkened room when you are watching a video or playing a game is DISTRACTING. I am...

The current deal that people are freaking out over is the Dell 2209WA LCD for $230 minus whatever coupons. It is IPS instead of TN. I don't like the way the buttons look on the right side (but I am picky about things). Everyone seems to think it is the best all-around for desktop work, gaming...

Another solution I have thought of is putting a colored piece of cellophane plastic film in beteween the led and the button. (You can find this type of film paper at art or craft stores.) (example ...

I want an LCD. CRTs are ancient history for me.

I'm looking for a good all-around monitor (desktop work and gaming) that DOES NOT have a blue power led. I absolutely hate blue LEDs - they are too bright and hurt my eyes. I can deal with green LEDs. This might sound crazy, but I can't be the only person who has noticed the electronics...

Ok, I tried IE7 for the first time recently and found a horrible bug that I can't find a reasonable solution to. It has something to with IE7 (and IE8) updating the URLs "date modified" time stamp if the URL has a favicon. Example : goto this URL ...

Maxtor 9/10 SATA drives have SERIOUS PROBLEMS with AMD and Intel sata controllers and chipsets. I'm getting rid of my new Maxtor 10 250gb drive because of these issues. Good riddance Maxtor - you used to be great now you are history. Firmware updates *might* fix the problem, but I wouldn't...

I am waiting for the K8T900 boards to come out, but I still can't get any solid timeframe. I am hoping there will be more info at CES this week.

Anyone using the A8V-E SE motherboard? It is a Via K8T890 board that supports AMD dual core. I am interested in it because the Nforce4 data corruption issues are scary. http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=15&l3=143&model=576&modelmenu=1...
