    PSU or Motherboard

    i attached a 120mm fan and still nothing...not even buzz. i remember dropping a pair of scissors on top of the case right where the psu would be. maybe thats what knocked the piece of solder loose that fell out it. oh well.

    Bent LGA 775 pins

    isnt that more for bent pins on an AMD cpu?. the contacts in an intel socket are like little springs...i agree with the tweezers and magnifying glass...try as hard as you can to make it resemble adjacent contacts. jesus christ i remember hosing a board cause the velcro on my esd strap brushed...

    Windows 7 on a 1.86ghz Celeron w\ 1gb of RAM

    i run windows 7 on my eeepc and it runs pretty good. doesnt seem as snappy as xp but its very usable. vista brought it to a crawl...it was awful. i have a celeron DC 1.6ghz with 4gigs of ram and it runs windows 7 without a hitch.

    asus 1000he

    if you can return yours look for a 1000h model with an 80gb hdd. this seems to be the solid model. i've been problem-free since day 1 and i've heard similar from other owners. also have you tried reinstalling the drivers for the touchpad? or using a different OS. Windows 7 runs great.

    EEEpc 1000H vs HA vs HE ???

    my 1000h has bluetooth and a 6cell battery...i'm confused about these HA and HE models. when you get it give windows 7 a try on it, runs smoothly and seems to get a tad better battery life than with xp. also if you have a few extra bucks go ahead and get an external dvdrom. i never thought it...

    Where's the bottleneck?

    go with the setup you have in the OP. my friend has the same equip with no oc and only 3gigs of ram and it maxs everything at 1920x1200. if you feel its necessary later on you could always add another gtx260. i would disregard all the references to whether or not it could run crysis at whatever...

    Ghetto ram cooling solutions

    i used to use the ocz ram cooler but its quite big and i assume the fans arent the highest quality. both units i had the fans started to make noise. squeezing the aluminum piece would usually make it stop though.

    Newegg you are awesome! But now I'm stuck with a brick!

    i'm surprised they let you keep it. they sent me a cheap raidmax case that looked like it had been crushed by a bear and i asked them to just give me my money back and i'd keep the case as is. after 14 emails they ended up paying to ship the broken case back to them and gave me free overnight...

    Would an E8400 be enough for GTX260?

    i play cod4/5 and have never seen my fps under 60. if you already have a lga775 mb/ram go for the e8400 and oc to your wildest imagination. if you got the cash an i7/gtx 260 slaps wow around at that resolution.
