    I wonder if this system is capable of booting off of USB. I'd say it's likely, not that old. Windows XP era.

    need advice on purchasing a pci-e video card to mod to use in x1 slot

    Thanks! I have another problem. Looks like i have no more than 6.25 inches clearance in this case before it touches the edge of the dvd drive. I could probably be okay with removing the DVD drive to make room, since it's only needed to install windows then i can trash the drive. However it...

    need advice on purchasing a pci-e video card to mod to use in x1 slot

    Can someone possibly tell me if this is a low profile card by looking at it? I'm thinking it is, but I can't tell, can't seem to pull up specs either. Assuming LP means Low Power, not profile :)

    need advice on purchasing a pci-e video card to mod to use in x1 slot

    That's actually what I did, used a dremel with a grinding wheel. Came out pretty good but I ended up cutting a few traces by accident. It _looks_ like the traces just go to an unused pci-e tin dots that the motherboard wasn't designed to have so I don't think they need to be repaired. I got...

    need advice on purchasing a pci-e video card to mod to use in x1 slot

    I found this ATI Radeon HD 3450 256MB PCI-E on ebay also.. It's not as fast as a 5450 or 6450 but it's close, do you know if this has the HD encoding chip? I know it also doesn't have HDMI, but I could deal with DVI. Edit: actually noticed that it's not HDMI, it's a special DMS-59 port which...

    need advice on purchasing a pci-e video card to mod to use in x1 slot

    I found this ATI Radeon 2400 XT 256MB card on ebay but it looks like it has some sort of dual displayports or something. at $10 shipped that's the price point i'm looking for. Is there a way to mod that to accept HDMI without a $15 adapter cable? Also looks like it's in the same gfx speed...

    I have been given a micro-atx motherboard, everything's okay except for the onboard vga is fried. I tried reflowing it but it's just not coming back to life. It posts and stuff, just crashes on anything video intent to a scrambled screen, not even BSOD. Anyways, need advice on a pci-e...

    Basic 2.0 desktop speakers with decent bass

    She actually settled for $11 speakers at walmart. They have horrible bass, but she's a girl and doesn't care and is happy. For me, I would NEVER go for that.

    Basic 2.0 desktop speakers with decent bass

    I'm not looking for a 2.1 with subwoofer, but do any 2.0 speakers stand out above the others in regards to the bass output? I'm looking relatively low cost also, no more than $20. I can also go used, if you know of something out there that is popular or something. Thanks!

    Corrupt .rar archive in windows, how to repair?

    Well, sales still didn''t reply with any refund or a process leading to a refund, so I put the paypal transaction in dispute status to fuel their ambition :) I do believe they can remotely deactivate my copy of their crap, it didn't work anyways, so just as well. I would recommend to others to...

    Corrupt .rar archive in windows, how to repair?

    The recovery did NOT work any better than winrar's built in recovery option (actually worked a bit worse). I submitted a claim for a refund. I'll let you know how that goes. The live support team says it will be a few days, however I feel protected either way since I used PayPal.

    Corrupt .rar archive in windows, how to repair?

    Hey, I have an important .rar that is corrupt that I cannot repair via .par2 etc, because it is my own doing. I just need to get as much of the file data as possible, whether it extracts corrupt or not. My problem is, if I "keep broken files" in WinRar, it truncates the file at the exact...

    FS: complete hackintosh or HTPC system

    bump! I can't include OSX because it would be my copy I'd be giving out. Not sure how mods would feel if somehow I got your copy of OSX but you're prob better off installing it yourself seriously to avoid any potential copyright implications.

    Bump. Price reduced $300. I will separate, however to part it out you'll have to buy the case first either alone or with other parts. Some pieces are obviously harder to sell than the others and I don't want to be left with the leftovers :)

    Was looking into the new Macbook Air 11" line, but they seem so overpriced when you start doing things like upgrading RAM or CPU or SSD from base and the price for the build I want is getting crazy expensive. Any other ultra portable Macbook air "clones" out there with reasonable comparison...
