I am building my father a new machine for his small business, and I'd like to get some advice from the community before I jump into it. I used to build machines with some regularity back in the day, but in the past 8 or so years I have only used laptops and have not paid much attention to the...

I traded my old desktop for a HP Pavilion ze1250 in hopes that I would someday turn it into a Carputer. Alas, I have spent too much money on beer this semester and as a result cannot afford to carry out the project. I used it for about a month before I got my new laptop, it worked great for...

My VGN-CR120E is having issues fully detecting its pioneer DVD drive. It shows up in the device manager as "PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K17 ATA Device" with a yellow hazard sign with an exclamation point on top of it. My computer did not come with a driver CD, and I have not been able to find the driver...

My Motorolla e815 stopped working on all fronts recently, and since my contract can't be renewed until May I think I'll be stuck with getting a new phone on eBay. I don't care if it's used/refurbished as long as it works. I would like to not spend over $75. Any thoughts? Thanks

edit: prices lowered I'm trying to go to Europe this Christmas break and I just now realized how low I am on funds. So, in an effort to not starve while galivanting on the streets of Amsterdam, I am selling as much spare stuff as possible. If you need any more information regarding any of the...

I am incorporating a '% speed' analog display into an upcoming mod, and was wondering if anyone had any tips to make the meter into an accurate % CPU usage readout. mine is quite different, although for illustration purposes this will do: http://i10.ebayimg.com/04/i/07/36/51/0b_1.JPG my...

I'm currently working on a sever case that will include a speaker control console right in the box (from my Logitech Z-560). It's a medium sized ammo box - yes yes it's been overdone but mine is very unique :). Every part (including wheels, handles, grates, buttons, keyswitches etc..) were...

I formatted my 80 gig and installed Ubuntu on it, and my other hdd died so I need another Windows partition, but the entire drive is a linux partition. How could I resize the partition to make room for a windows install? Thanks guys

I've got Windows XP Pro with servicepack 2 installed on my 64-bit 3200+. This happened about a month ago, but somehow, in all my infinite wisdom, I managed to delete rundll32.exe. I tried downloading other copies and placing them in windows/system32, but it doesn't work. So here is what I'm...

I've got a Promise TX2000 RAID card with two 250GB Maxtor hard drives filled with data. Unfortunately, there is no 64-bit driver for this RAID card, so I got an 80GB SATA hard drive and installed XP x64 on that. Now that I'm on the 80GB drive with 64 bit windows, I cannot read the hard drive...

This exact thread was posted a few months ago but nothing ever came from it. I am going to try this again. I've got a 9800XT that I haven't used in 6 months that no longer works. I was exchanging the HSF for a Zalman heatpipe (to minimize noise) and when taking off the stock cooler the little...

I am starting a new site that allows anyone (but for now just me) to say whatever they want, and allow commentary, relating to anything. The point being to fend off the evergrowing level of ignorance in this country. I'm in the process of learning php and I don't even know where to begin...

For most this is a very minor accomplishment, but I have succeeded in designing a very simple routine on my website. Yes all by myself... It's in php by the way guess the word! now what? :confused:

My friend brought her home computer up to me at school so I could get off the viruses spyware etc.. and even upgrade it to XP. It only had 64mb of pc100 in it so I added a 128mb stick to it and installed XP. The entire process went flawlessly and I returned her computer. She called me today...

I'll give you guys the quick version of this problem that has existed for at least two months. Basically, it began as me getting artifacts on my 9800xt. Not just an occasional line or so, but so much I could barely make out what the fuck was going on. So I switched coolers from the stock to the...

My father is an author and is making the switch from CRT from LCD. He is looking for a 19"+ LCD monitor that accurately displays the photos that will be in his books. Now I have a Samsung SyncMaster 172x which I think is great, but he doesn't need to pay extra for the 12ms response time as he...

I broke the fan on mine and and replaced it with a Zalman Heatpipe a few months ago, and now I need to RMA it. Does anyone have a 9800XT cooler they have laying around or know where I could get one? I have paypal. Thanks!

Lately I've been having video card issues. More specifically, I'm getting artifacts in windows. Normally isn't a problem, as I haven't overclocked...but when I changed the power connector to another chain it worked fine, for a while. Anyway, I checked my voltages and this is what I got...

I got this 9800XT back from an RMA with Ati a few months ago and I think it's about time for an upgrade. I broke the fan on the original cooler so I purchased this Zalman and slapped it on. I haven't overclocked any though. I will sell this for $250 or trade + cash for a better card. Any...

EDIT: Reread the stickies, and I would like to state that this is a homework assignment, and I'm not asking you to modify the code at all for me, that's my job. I'm asking how to store a variable, that is all. Mods please feel free to lock/delete if this thread is illegal. I haven't had...

I have a 9800xt and about a month ago I managed to rip the power cable off the fan on the default heatsink, and couldn't repair it. So I took out my Zalman heatpipe cooler and attached it without incident. At my home it worked fine, no artifacts or anything. So I brought my computer to school...

I have three sticks of 256MB PC133 SDRAM. all three are tested and working. If you receive it DOA, ship it back and I'll refund money. I will ship out via priority day after I receive paypal. I am selling these for $25 shipped EACH. Please don't hesitate to email/IM me with any...

Very weird. I am using Rivatuner and AtiTool with the 4.12 cat drivers on my 9800XT. The default clock is 411/364, and when I change the core up to, say 470 in AtiTool, there are artifacts in the render window but when I run 3DMark there are no artifacts. Overclocks are recognized in AtiTool...

I need to back up my MP3 collection (~75GB) and I would rather not burn it off with DVD. Anyway, I would like two things: a 36GB WD Raptor SATA drive, and an 80GB SATA or bigger. They don't have to be new, but in good condition. Make some offers. I am extremely negotiable and will most...

I have become quite dissatisfied with Nero. My hard drives are failing I think and I am burning off my mp3 collection (~70GB). My DVD burner is a Sony 4x DRU-500A with the latest firmware, and I am writing on Memorex DVD-R 8X media. Sometimes Nero decides to let me burn, and sometimes it...

I'm building a computer for my father's worker, it's an upgrade from a 233 and 96mb of SDRAM or something like that. I pulled out my old Asus A7A266 motherboard and a couple old procs (one is a T-Bird, other is a Palomino). I put in 2x 256MB PC133 SDRAM and the Polamino at first with just the...

I switched my main OS over to another harddrive and I didn't want to lose all my bookmarks in firefox....I tried copying over the entire firefox directory but that didn't work. I googled but didn't come up with anything....is there any way to export/import settings in firefox? Thanks!

I have a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard (1.4 official BIOS) with a 3200+ Winchester 90nm and 2x 512MB Kingston HyperX PC3500 DDR. It is on completely stock cooling, in BIOS it says it's 38c right now. Here is how I've done so far... I got 22000 on 3DMark2001, and can do 1M Super_Pi...

DFI LanParty NFII Ultra B motherboard. I have tried almost every common nForce2 motherboard out there, and this is the most reliable. This has been so good to me...it put up with hell (I had a prometeia) and it just wouldn't die. Finally, I managed to break it and DFI sent me another one...

I just got a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard and a 3200+, and am trying to install windows xp 64-bit. I downloaded it from microsoft's website and then burned it to a CD. When I try to boot from it, I get the error message: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or...

I just ordered an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum mobo as a pretested combo with a 3200+ Winchester 90nm CPU. I got it yesterday and so far am very happy with it (haven't upgraded to winxp 64-bit yet), however I opened up crystalcpuid and it said my proc was a .13 micron. Wtf? clearly shows that...
