I have this case and have a H80i now but want more. The H80i is my first water cooler so i have no experience building a water loop. I only want to cool my cpu. I was thinking either 2 x 120mm radiators each with push/pull or maybe 1 x120 and one 240 on the top. The 240 ontop would be just...

I run the Noctuas and love them.

It does not show up in bios. It is not hook up sata or ide, It is a USB device.

I have a hard drive I got from another computer that I put into my external usb ADS drive enclosure It is a 60GB hard drive. But I only see 38.28 GB. I tried reformatting etc in Windows disk management but no luck. I tried partitioning it but I can only get a ~38GB partition. In Disk...

My Acer 4230 travelmate laptop's screen/cover had some slack in the hinges so a few weeks ago I tightened the hinges where they attach to the body. This helped but did not completely fix the wiggle. So I took the LCD panel completely off today and found that the top left screw mount is broke...

thanks for the reply. The last 4 PC's (2 dimensons, 1 sony, 1 hp) I have worked on had 2 empty slots so I disagree with : "this usually means that you only have two ram slots" they were also "expandable". Most laptops I work on use both slots though. But I think it really varies...

According to Everest it has 4 slots. Regardless, is it not better to get rid of the existing ram to ensure no conflicts. Also if I go with the GSkil as recommended by munkle then I get a matched pair with faster timings and utilize maximum allowable ram for this system. Thanks munkle, I...

I am working on a VAIO RA820G desktop It has (2) 512 sticks of DDR400 @ 3-3-3-8 I want to have 2 GB total. should I: 1) lose the existing 2 sticks and go with a 2x1GB kit $110 or 2) leave the 2x512 and add a 2x512 kit $60 or 3) leave the 2x512 and add a single 1GB stick $50...

sounds promising , thanks

that does not sound to confusing. So you do not have to put it on a network router then right? Did you have to enable file and printer sharing on your PC's ? thanks for the reply!

I am considering getting a wify capable printer so that I can use it for my desktop and laptop and keep it 20 feet away in a closet. would I have to go through my router to do this or can I individually connect my laptop and desktop with the printer? Do I have to enable my file and...

I ordered the 2x1GB 533 so now that I will have 2 slots open should I keep the 2x256 400 MHz in the other 2 slots? Is it better to have 2GB at 533 OR 2.5GB at 400 ? The 533 wont be running that fast since my FSB is only 400 right. should I be comparing timings? The current 2x256...

thank you for the answer I needed to hear. I did not think about the stress on the mem controller and since I am not overclocking then I have no need for the 512's. 2x1gb 533 is what it is gonna be. ty

They do not offer very much in the 400MHz range anyway. I thought the performance would be better from (4) 512 modules rather than (2) 1gb modules ? Also, if I did go that route (2x1GB rather than 4x512GB) should I just go with 533 or the 667 that you linked? Since the FSB is only...

I am working on a friends Dell Dimension 8400 and need to add some memory. Is there any reason not to go from the 400 to the 533 MHz? (If I was not going to use the existing 400MHz modules?) Right now it has 2 x 256MB DDR2 400 (PC2 3200) and I was thinking of getting rid of these and...

AVG free super light on resources. imo & Comodo firewall (free)

I got screwed on my rebates from Samsung. I sent everything in correctly and never heard anything from them. So I called ~3 months later. They said no problem, send the copies you made of everything (which i had done), It has been 8 months and no word. I spent to much time to deal...

that is a whole other issue. I just wanted the simple technical answer to my question.... thanks for the answer, and insight.

But, If someone was next door trying to hack my connection wouldn't they only have to crack WPA and not WPA2 if the router is set to mixed?

I just set up a wireless network and am trying to figure out the best security settings. I have a WRTG54GL w/ DD-wrt. Right now I have the security set at WPA2 personal AES And both my computers are compatible (after installing the XP WPA2 patch) However, what if I have another...

i'll check that out. thanks again

no there connection does not drop. they are discontinuing their service with their provider and they are going to share mine. I'll have them get wireless cards or usb adapters to connect to my wireless router. thanks for the reply

Can a wrtg54GL be used to network with another wrtg54GL? My neighbors have three computers networking through a wrtg and they are losing their internet connection. I was wondering if they could use my connection through their wrtg? If they all had wireless computers they could network...

Well I have the NeoHE and I like it alot. It is what Antec gave me after I went through 3 SmartPower450s. It is quiet and has modular cables which is really nice especially if you do not need alot of cables. The other ones you mentioned I'm sure are fine if David H reccomemeded them...

I'd politely complain to them. Tell them U need to have a computer to do your homework and your dad to do his taxes et. But that is in the past. A back-up PSU is always a good idea .IMO I usually start with the names people recommend then do A "POWER" search at new egg using the price and...

I have been troubleshooting this thing forever in a gazillion forums. I was OC'ing my 3800X2 awhile back and I nudged my Ninja a bit to much looking for better temperatures while stressing. My system crashed as it always does during unstable stress testing. I was able to easily be...

capacitors? you must mean replacing them huh That would be handy if you can do that and fine solder etc. you can apply those techniques to all kinds of stuff.

The Corsair is solid! Whatch the Hx fail now in a month. lol. Don't worryu it won't. And if it does you have the SP to fall back on.

If they got it this morning they will send it today. I got mine the day after I called customer support. They are in Fremont and I am in N. California . But that is still really quick. You'll definitely have it by the end of the week.

Yes http://cgi.ebay.com/Emerson-Liebert-GXT3000RT-120-UPStation-Conditioner-UPS_W0QQitemZ180097164331QQcategoryZ99265QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem That thing is a monster! And its ugly! But I am sure it is a solid protection device! It is a little more $ than I want to spend with the shipping...

Usually either would I ! I am looking at these four all from different stores: Tripp Lite SmartPro APC CNB950 APC BR800BLK Ultra / ULT33044 I was leaning towards the TripLite (1000Vamps/500w/line-interactive/AVR) but the one at CompUsa claims more watts covered (with a less Vamp...

What about this model, it has AVR and is an Line Interactive Design. Or is the rand to unreliable? I am just trying to see if aI can find something compable to the TripLiteand maybe save alittle $$. thanks

I called ASUS and told them my fan was failing (which it was) and they put another in the mail that day. New egg beat em to it with my NBJ so I have two extra ASUS fans and clips etc. Also, I am sure you can buy the stock one for under $5. So if taking the mobo out is a big...

If its anything like my ASUS chipset fan/hs you will never ever want to use it again! With my NBJ my temps are lower than with the stock fan. The lap job on the NBJ and the AS5 and my intake fan blowing on it all are responsible for the improved temps and silent N-bridge.

It can be done! I did it. Just get some snippers (bull nose dykes) and snip the existing push pins so the backs of the pin fall behind the board (they are plastic). then just snap the new ones in.\ Cheers

I never have brown outs. Where I live only 5% of homes have AC. And most of the homes are second homes thus no one loading the grid. I mostly want clean power but also in the rare event the power goes out, I want time to shutdown and get my generator going. The trip lite Paul_Johnson...

Paul, That looks like a good price and its black (I know priorities) Thanks for that

Just for the $$$ of them, I am thinking so as well. Paul, so the one I was looking at is probably fine? And, my other question about size? I suppose for this tier that is standard? I am currently researching it. Thanks again for the support. Cliffhucker

I am sold...... I think! So the APC refurb I was looking at is a "line interactive"? a type of standby UPS Those Online "true" UPS are not cheap are they! Not even refurbed. I guess I have some more to think about. Any other good links or known deals ? Thanks again for the info...

beowulf7, thanks for the referral. I am looking into now! $50 what? http://www.officedepot.com/textSearch.do?uniqueSearchFlag=true&Ntt=APC+BX1500&x=34&y=14 I see $200 Am I missing something?
