Our little s3200t has been running 24/7 as a Windows Media Center for 7 years. The original power supply died. When searching for a replacement I'm seeing a lot of negative reviews of the ones that show up. Are any of the under $50 units good enough? I'm not too interested in putting much...

I have an extra Loctite, 1GB DIMMs, DVD and HD that I'm thinking of using to build an HTPC with. I'm thinking of using an Apex or nMEDIAPC case. The only part I'm having trouble sourcing is an e4500 cpu. They are no longer in production and expensive on ebay. The first post indicates that I must...

If you motherboard is the IPIPL-AR (loctite) the SAPPHIRE 100252-1GL Radeon HD 4550 1GB 64-bit DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card WILL NOT work Most like the 512 GB one won't work either

I tried to use a 5570 and it didn't work, after I put in a 4350 and that did work. I'm pretty sure the 4550 works also

I tried the Sapphire Radeon HD5570 and it definitely doesn't work with this IPILP-AR motherboard. This surprises me - I thought the PCIe 2.0 cards were backward compatible. Now I'm not clear on what PCI express 16 means. The specs on HP's site say its a PCIeX16 slot. In some verbiage it says it...

Follow up on 3200t not working with Sapphire Radeon HD5570. Someone gave me a bunch of PCIe video cards that had bad fans. I found that all of them work (they are full height so can only test them with motherboard pulled out of chassis). All of them are pre-PCIe 2.0 so I'm conjecturing that the...

I was the one who put in the links with the huge (just removed them) photos of the motherboard that everyone agreed had no visual indication of a problem which turned out to be a correct analysis. There was nothing wrong with the motherboard. I ordered a new one on ebay from Digital Anny. The...

I removed a bunch of oversize photos of the motherboard

Tried pulling all devices - still no video from 5570. Pulled the motherboard out. I can see what happened. The nvidia 8500GT that came with the unit overheated and I believe the heat seeped into the motherboard which has brown miscolorations surrounding the PCIe slot and in that corner...

I saw a post here mentioning someone who's IPILP-AR motherboard needed replacement because the PCI-E slot stopped working. The poster inferred it's a known problem. I have one that stopped working. At first I thought it might be the 180 watt PSU wasn't putting out enough power but I discovered...
