I'm trying to get an idea of how small of a power supply I can get away with here before spending money and blowing something up. This is for an NES pc build. I'd like to use an external power brick, or a very small PSU (if one small enough exists?). The build: cpu: Intel i5 2500k (96W...

I got someone complaining about a "system disk error on startup" so I check it out and this laptop has no boot partition. So I try to scan it for old files to pull off (so I can reformat later) but after searching for NTFS and FAT32 file sectors, I can't find anything. All testing and smart...

Hi all, I'm planning on making an old school gaming pc to be connected to an standard 27" TV. The tv has S-video and composite inputs. I see plenty of converter boxes online which will turn a VGA signal into a composite signal. There are also boards with a composite output onboard. I'm...
