When you get this working post up a photo or something - I'd like to see it.

I've seen ESD damage under a 100x stereo microscope - when some moron didn't use the wrist strap at a workstation.

99% - of all ESD is from a human. 89% - of that is from human not being grounded to the casing or the chip. 50% - of that is from the human not following BASIC ESD PRECATIONS. the other 50% - of the 89% is from the human not using ESD PRECATIONS correctly. the only sure way not to have ESD...

I have just replaced a mobo for the same issue... What I tried: Removed EVERYTHING (including processor)... Reset CMOS (it had a 'reset cmos' button) Reinstalled the processor and 1 stick of memory and the AGP Vid card = nothing else. Reboot - post up shows vid/mem/hdd's and then...

Resetting BIOS may not 'seem' to help as some BIOS set PCI as the Vid instead of the AGP... (which seems somewhat ignorant to me, it should actually cause it to search for 'available' upon reboot and cause it to become default). I ran into a simular issue with a mobo I just purchased... seems...

Ok, this board your talking about... A freind of mine has researched it to death because he wants it.. and he's somewhat anal about knowing what he's getting... The AGP 8x on that board is Shared on the PCI-e - they cannot be run at the same time due to this... it's either AGP or PCI-e on...

Have you thought about may 'upgrading' the Vid Card itself... that Rage is a pretty sad card at best (and yes I have the right to say that as my old Rage II is sitting on my desk above my monitor)... You may find that a $20 Geforce 2 will solve this issue...

My Dual PIII (slot 1) died a horrible PCI bus burn.... SO, I had all this hardware: 2x PIII @ 800 CPU's 2x 128 Rdram 2x Rdram fillers (what they are called is failing me at the moment) A bunch of Hard Drives ... 4 PSU's And not a working mobo in the house. So I Ebay'd and found this...

Check the plumbing section - they make a stainless steel 'ring' for running pipes thru walls, you could 'create' a grommet from that?? just my thoughts.

Let me look about a bit, as I used to work at a place that had white ink (to print for transfer to green coffee cups) = I'll get back to you soon. The ALPS MD-series printers can indeed print with white ink. The place I've found this most useful is when reverse-printing on transparent window...

Bump, Yeah I want your stuff, but I have NO FUNDS...

Bump, cause I looked to see what ya have...

the Compaq AP550 was put in that same box (as the top pics)...

Yeah, and found many, but the way that this board failed worries me, I want to 'stay old school', but with reliability.. I've read a few 'reviews' now and the OR840 seems to be stable as a stone... and can use a standard P4 PSU... (which I have a new 400W A Power 2.01 P4 Ready PSU)... I have...

Ship it?? I would be will to 'assemble' your gear - NO CHARGE... but I am located in Central Florida.. IM or Email me if interested.

Ok, if you know this person then get over to his place with a digicam and get a shot of this, cause I calling BULLSHIT too. NO Fin' WAY... Chip at idle with no heatsink will overheat. I have a freind with an Air Conditioned case and he STILL USES a heatsink, no mind you his temps are 11...

This may be a hair 'off base' but I'm posting anyway: My father in law's computer (which I'm borrowing at the moment) has a SB AWE32 - and I've always used Aureal Vortex A3d - SB no support for EAX under games and Aureal does. (this particalar SB didn't anyway - ) (now I know those are...

Because Intel would rather you buy a new mobo than fix your existing one.

My Father in Law (I think he's 57 or 58) - Needless to say when I can't fix it - I take it to him, HE CAN. Bigotry is bigotry - and should be... Yes that particular woman is lacking the skills to get a HDD out of a case... but she is not representative of all women... That said, I'd NEVER...

This is correct that was Gnome - I was starting to have problems with my HDD, and KDE would freeze - shortly there after the whole mobo had a failure, - currently stuck on a borrowed computer (agh Dell, with WinME)... I'll get a new mobo soon tho and be back to my beloved Linux.

Of those choices go Triniton... Let my key in another choice tho... 20" TTX 2048 - 1600x1200 with 5 BNC / 15 D-Sub connectors on the back, soft control flip out from panel... Bright yeah., has a lot of tweaks for color, scaling, etc.., is switchable between inputs. Just my 2 cents.

I have both Mandrake and FC4 myself (although they are not the 64bit - they install the same way...) Locking during install typically is a Bios setting issue with the PCI bus options, memory hole option (you want no memory hole), or HDD autodetect - I had a HDD that would not load Linux under...

At boot up go into the bios, and set boot option to Optical drive (in some cases it will show your DVDRW, in other cases it will show CD, and yet other cases it simply shows the 'windows' drive letter C: being the 1st HDD, and D: E: F: etc following it...if you only have one IDE drive then it...

Glad to help - call me a 'net whore' whatever...lol - if it's on the net I can find it.

I would suggest going to The Check Cashing Store and getting a PREPAID mastercard - two reasons, it not 'credit' and they can only 'take' what you put on it... I use one for all my online shopping (including paying my ISP)...it's not 'as convenient' as a normal card as you have to go and put...

DO NOT CONNECT BOTH PLUGS FROM YOUR MONITOR TO ONE VID CARD - results in BURNT GPU.

Ok, ATX - standard according to this site (page 9 - it's PDF) http://www.formfactors.org/developer%5Cspecs%5Catx2_2.pdf 12"x9.6" (305mmx244mm) the page 'shows' the hole pattern but does not specify the measurements, it does however have a ton of other usefull information (ie backpanel...

Ok, take your week, AND then FINISH this thing. I want to see this finished... (on a side not, off topic - as soon as I can get my cam drivers on this computer I'll start my build ....)

Like the previous poster mentioned most games wouldn't support it... If I had triple monitors they'd all be 20" 1600x1200 so that would be 4800x1200 resolution...not many games will support that... (I know that some of the racing games will and a few non combat flight sims will.) Would be...

When you think about the evolution of computers, it's easy to say who was wrong/right as hindsite is 20/20. As far as this physics 'card' - why does it need to be seperated, seems to me this is technically part of the whole 'graphics system' ... it should be a intergral part of the next...

I agree with grabbin the Dell 2005FPW (I have a 20" CTX CRT with 1600x1200 res. ) so I'm all about the 20" monitors (no matter if flat or crt).. Quote: I'm downloading fedora linux right now to put on my old Dell this weekend Should be fun, I've used it in my dual boot for ages (although at...

I like it 'on the wall' (option 1?) yeah looked at the other it seems too busy to put it behind the psu... just my thought.

I ordered: 4 PC 1 PCx64 1 Mac :rolleyes: should be interesting to see how many computers I can put it on... :D

See in world of money there are two facts... 1. it takes money to make money 2. it takes lots of money to make lots of money so on that premise, he paid out $100k for a lot of virtual space... split space by 100k parts lease each part for $1 and it pays for itself in a month, 2nd month...

My father in law actually 'split' the cable (ie seperated the strands) and made them round... He had it acordian folded before that, for lack of room in the case.

You have a problem with FLA....??? Why?? (not that I would pay that much for that Lappy...), but that seems rude, if the buyer is paying in advance then I don't see the issue.

Bump, cause I know moving is a PAIN.

I've had RH6.0, Mandrake 10.0, and FC4, so I'm ordering a couple of the Ubuntu, just to have it too.

You could just use Open Office....

AOE = chat in game - maybe some of these 'newer' games need to see how it was done -
