    Upgrading Dell Inspiron 531s' motherboard. Need a new PSU?

    Awesome. Thanks for the answers. Though I still have that question: do motherboards themselves take up any power? Or is the consumption primarily from the integrated graphics card?

    Upgrading Dell Inspiron 531s' motherboard. Need a new PSU?

    Hm... I really should have considered that beforehand. Well I shall find out very soon. Though you think power-consumption is fine? I was just worried cause 250W seemed pretty low.

    Best Media Streamer or player for mkv files

    Patriot Box Office As low as $35 after mail in rebate. Plays (so far) anything I throw at it, 1080p included. Stream over network, or internal 2.5" HDD, or usb. Only downfall is the UI is not as eye catching as I'd like (think xbmc) though with enough time and effort it can still look...

    Upgrading Dell Inspiron 531s' motherboard. Need a new PSU?

    If anyone is familiar with the Dell Inspiron 531s, it's a slim case with a PSU of 250W. Obviously everything runs fine, even with such a small PSU. It currently runs with 2x512mb DDR-2 ram sticks, a SATA dvd drive, 2 SATA hard drives, an Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Dual core processor, and a modem pci...

    If you're computer is like mine: Dell Inspiron 531s, then what you're looking for are TFX power supply units. Which if you're living in North America can only be found up to 300W (as far as I know). Apparently Sea Sonic produces quality products, so you should look for those. Goes for...

    Using old "Broken" hard drive as backup drive. Bad idea?

    That actually makes a lot more sense... I'll definitely remember that for the future. But for now the good drive is 1.5TB and the bad one is only 640GB (backing up only my important data). So I can't apply that here. And bai, if given no choice and I MUST (gun to the head?) have sex at that...

    Using old "Broken" hard drive as backup drive. Bad idea?

    Besides the time required to select the files to backup, I don't think there's nothing to lose here. Either way, I won't be able to buy a new hard drive until I get some money. During that time, if my system hard drive fails, then it fails no matter if I made a backup on my crappy drive or...

    Using old "Broken" hard drive as backup drive. Bad idea?

    Ok the mob has spoken. I'm going to temporarily use this as a backup drive until I get enough money for a real one. Like havermeyer said, a crappy backup is better than no backup... Thanks guys.

    Using old "Broken" hard drive as backup drive. Bad idea?

    Since none of you are God, no one here would be able to give me an actual answer to my question, so I suppose I'm just here to query about how many people would think this was a bad idea... So anyway, I have this hard drive. A year ago, it started giving me the tick/clicking noise, so I threw...
