i am looking to get a new case for my new components and this caught my attention. on newegg it is only $65 with shipping included. It comes stock with a 80mm fan in the front. I was wondering if it was possible to mod the Centurion 5 to take a 120mm front intake fan like the Coolermaster 532.

I was wondering if it was possible to mod the Centurion 5 to take a 120mm front intake fan like the Coolermaster 532. The cases look similar. Also is this a decent case? i am looking to get a new case for my new components and this caught my attention. on newegg it is only $65 with shipping...

The reason i want to buy a 6800 GT is becausei already own one. Just curious if i bought a 6800GS SLI would not work, correct? i'm going off what the first reply mentioned. If i am wrong this would be better since the GS isn't EoL

I am planning on buying a second 6800GT but the picture on the vendor's site shows the card having a different heatsink than the card i currently own even though both cards are Asus EN6800GTs. Is it possible that they are two different Revisions and if so does it matter if the Revision is different?

I am curious as to why after i installed service pack 2 that my defragmenter now shows me a constant 2+gig area of unmovable space when i don't have page file enabled on the drive? before the Service pack 2 was installed i didn't ahve any green bars when i had Page Files disabled.

Ok, so my friend wanted to over clocked his computer. He asked me to help him because i successfully over clocked my Giga-byte 845Pe667 Ultra mobo and Intel CPU. His BIOS only gave the option to increase the FSB and DRAM Voltage. The default frequency was 200Mhz so i had him increase it by 10Mhz...

But what makes it strictly 478? Is it that the surface that come in contact with the CPU is too wide, deep, shallow, etc. Or is it because the mounting screws won't allign with the screws on the Motherboard? I may have to just wait and use the HSF that comes with the CPU for now until i can...

I was wondering what made heatsinks Intel or AMD heatsinks or if it really doesn't matter. I have a http://www.swiftnets.com/products/mcx4000-T.asp and it's considered a Intel Socket 478 heatsink. However, does this mean it is absolutely incompatible with a Socket 939 for a AMD Athlon 64? Would...

Any other ideas?

If you can use a 98 Start-up disk, then you can just copy files over to a folder on the working drive as another option. I imagine some of the names are too long for DOS so it truncates them with a "~1". To get around that you can use wildcards. (e.g. i want to copy a file battlefield2demo.exe...

actualy it is a Maxtor Diamondmax I'm jsut wondering if it is something causing hte hard drive to do this rather than the drive going bad, because it's a brand new drive. like i say i've only had it a few weeks and it took 3 years for my 80GB Maxtor to experience this.

I dunno if this is the right Forums for a hardware problem, but i've been here before and have gotten help in various areas. I recently repalced a hard drive ( have had it for 3 years) that had been experiencing the symptom in the subject heading. It got bad enough that one day i lost my...
