    Shuttle and dead videocard fans

    comcast cable modem question

    thanks for all the help guys. comcast's supplied cable modems are com21, but they have a list of cable modems confirmed to work with their service, and the linksys cable modem/router/wireless g gateway is on there, so I think I'll go with that. It doesn't sound like it makes much if a...

    Slot loading CD ROMs... bad idea?

    they look badass, but i would think that they would have more complex loading/unloading mechanisms and would jam up more, and the fact that there arent more on the market kinda leads me to believe that is true

    comcast cable modem question

    So, I'm getting comcast 4mbps down, 256 mbps up cable internet service starting next Tuesday, and I have 3 options when it comes to the cable modem: rent one from them for $4 a month, buy theirs for $20, or supply my own. So, if nothing else, I'll buy theirs for $20 as it'll pay for itself in 5...

    Building First Shuttle

    yes, yes, yes, and yes ;-) the only problem I had was that my shuttle would not even post with my audigy 2 in it. i was never able to figure out what the problem was.

    radeon aiw 8500 hsf failing

    my radeon's hsf is failing; the fan is grinding and spinning at like half speed. occasionally i get random restarts, and i'm pretty sure its from the gpu overheating. its extremely hot to the touch. is there any replacement i can buy for this thing, and how do i get the old one off? it looks...

    stupid internal audio connector on aiw8500

    supposedly this is a standard audio connector, but none of the 5 cables i have fit it. am i missing something? its the regular 4-pin connector, like you would see going from a cd drive to the internal sound plug. i even tried shaving off plastic to make it fit, and it didnt work. is this...

    64-bit Intel is official

    i also read someplace that intel was going to incorporate a large amout of the tech from the pentium M (centrino) into the desktop chips... so a 64 bit chip with centrino technology to reduce power consumption and heat... sounds like a winner

    which "shuttle" case/barebone gives the best bang for the buck?

    i just finished setting up my sn52g2, and so far i like it a lot. only problem i had was my audigy 2 not working in it, it wouldnt even post with teh audigy in. not sure what thats about, but the onboard sound is pretty good for the time being.

    i'm holding a new 2.8C...

    for some reason i just ended up getting the proc like a week before the rest of the system and just wondered if anyone had any experience with certain steppings or whatnot before my system came in and i could actually try it. sorry for asking, if you think my asking is a waste of time then...

    great, the 4.2 cats hosed my box.. frustrated

    radeon 8500 all in wonder. downloaded entire package and installed, now aiw functions do not work and video is extremely laggy. it takes a couple of seconds just to open the start menu. tried to uninstall and go back to the 4.1s, but it didnt help. suggestions? this is pissing me off.

    Anyone have issues with AS5?

    if there is enough on there to pull the proc out with the heatsink, even if it has hardened, you are using too much.

    Need more ink for my printer. Do b/w & color refill kits work???

    not hard, but it can be messy and usually the ink isnt as high quality as what you would get regularly

    Eeek!! Water on the system

    my comp survived 6 inches of water during a flood, 5-6 drops wont do anything. you could probably submurge a mobo in water as long as you waited for it to dry long enough. as long as its dry, you're fine.

    CPU shims...what do they really do? (link/pics)

    p4's have the integrated heat spreader on the cpu, so a shim isnt necessary.
