    FS: 92x92x25MM made in Japan Panaflo fans

    I have 22 92MM panaflo fans that I'm looking to sell. I'd like $10 per fan with free shipping to the continental US. Note they are untailed fans (i.e. bare wire instead of a connector) and are new, never used. They have working RPM sensors and spin up at 5V or more. Made in Japan...

    Good file/folder compare utility?

    The best program I'm aware of is WinMerge but I'd be rather surprised if it runs on Win95.

    Good file/folder compare utility?

    I don't quite follow you.... maybe if you posted the actual error the broken install is giving you, someone might have a direct fix for that.

    running hot?

    The temps themselves seem fine. It strikes me a little odd they are so far apart, but since I don't have an X2 that could be normal for all I know. Generally your temps are fine if they stay under 130F (55C) at full load. If they go north of 140F (60C) then it's time to get worried.

    Temp monitoring?

    Sadly there hasn't been a great freeware program since Motherboard Monitor died. What's TAT?

    Router plus switch ?

    Yeah the gigabit switch for fast file transfers makes sense (only if you have gigabit NIC's of course). But since he only mentioned gaming I assumed (dangerous, I know), he was talking about online gaming performance.

    Computer won't start up with new hard drive. Help please!

    What did you use to copy the drive? It's basing a lot on one word, but since you said 'copy' instead of clone I'm assuming you just copied all the files to the new drive instead of cloning it. If that's true, it's not booting because the new drive lacks the boot sector Windows creates when...

    Router plus switch ?

    Your welcome. I can't really think of what difference it would make, but maybe it would have an effect in certain setups in certain situations. But I doubt it would be noticeable. Why don't you ask your friend what he's talking about exactly, instead of ripping on me for thinking about...

    Dual Monitor

    Thanks for the link fix. Maybe it's because I'm on WinXP instead of Win2k, but I haven't noticed any problems in Multimon yet, and I have my second monitor to the left. I just always like to throw it out there for the cheap people out there (like myself) who like to try a freeware program...

    :: Urgent!!! :: Internet Sharing Program

    Exact model numbers would be nice. But I think I know what you are trying to do and it causes me pain. You'll need a proxy server to replace ICS on your windows machine. "Proxy" from analogX is the only freeware one I know off the top of my head.

    Corrupted Master Boot Record

    It's used... all the more reason to check it.... Get the Ultimate Boot CD burn it to cd. Boot with it. Run the Maxtor HD check. If that passes, great, then run a partition tool from the UBCD to fix the drive's MBR.

    :: Urgent!!! :: Internet Sharing Program

    I'm puzzled. What piece of hardware did comcast give you? The fact it has a gateway address of 192.168.0.1 implies to me it's some kind of router (with just one net work port on it perhaps?).... So unless I'm wrong just get a 4port hub or switch for it.

    Corrupted Master Boot Record

    Have you checked the HD with the diag utiliy from Maxtor to make sure the drive isn't DOA? What version of windows are you trying to install?

    Any way to tell a fried CPU?

    Not really, unless you think it got fried by melting from overheating. About all you can do is place it in a known to be working properly system and see if you can get any life out of it. Of course I must assume you have a narrowed it down to a bad CPU and have a second system to test with.

    Maxtors?

    In my experience as a PC tech, I have seen few of all brands of HD's die. Although the 'Deathstars' were by far the worst, closely followed by Maxtor. WD and Seagates so far have been the best. For all the whining about Newegg unapproved shipping, out of the dozens of drives from them, I...

    airbrush kit

    Personally, I swear by the Badger 155 'Anthem'. If you want to make any kind of fine lines you want some kind of double-action, internal mix airbrush. If you don't plan on doing any fine lines, just basic application, a Testors Multi-Purpose Sprayer would probably do. Although a really...

    need a huge case

    it is hard to tell for certain because of the camera angles, but from the looks of it the "extra" part of your mobo should slip behind the two HD trays.

    the computer i am going to build..

    ZZF rocks and is about the same price as newegg when you consider ZZF gives you free 2day while newegg charges a few bucks for 3day shipping. About the only problem with ZZF is they have small selection compared to newegg. As for HD shipping, while it is technically incorrect to bubble wrap...

    Memory problems - please help

    hehe, we better slow down before we get into the metaphysical! Although it is a good thing too ponder... Prime stresses the CPU more than games (and thus likely the mosfets too), but games certainly stress a video card more. Chipset would probably be the same in both cases. And technically...

    Unless the system shows signs of other problems, e.g. game lockups, random reboots, etc I wouldn't be crapping my pants over Prime dying after 12 hours. About the only thing I can think to double check is your temps after 12 hours of Prime. Prime stresses the whole system and you could be...

    IDL explanation

    I don't know IDL myself but here's my best guess from programming experience. Where() would probably return a boolean value, and the reverse() would probably switch i's current boolen value to it's opposite. Course that could be totally wrong, but I don't have time to learn IDL today :D...
