I was looking for a 4-in-3, thanks for pointing that out. I let the lian li name and price make the decision didn't even see it was a 3-in-2.
Quietness is defitely not a priority since this will be in a server room. Also temps shouldn't be that much of a problem since the room has constant...
Going to change to the larger Chenming case for added space for more drives later.

I'd like to go with a ATX board and get...
Sorry had the model number wrong in the original post. Intel D101GGCL
EDIT: Think I am going to stick with this board even though it lacks extra slots. I haven't built a box in awhile and am having a hard time finding a board that has more then 2 PCI slots. I'll just drop one of the netgear...
Basically building a box to hold 6+ hard drives for backups of our network. This will be the second DIsk in a Disk to Disk to Tape backup strategy.I realize there are vendors who make products for this but I think if I built myself I'll 1) save money 2) allow for expandability 3) most of the...
So you goto Network Places and can't see the other computers in the workgroup? Check the firewall settings on the computers.
If you have share folders and a shared printer setup you could just map to the drives using the IP address and add the printer using the ip address. Assign static IP's...
Do the other computers get internet access and you are just not able to see them on your network? or are you unable to see them on the network and they don't get internet via the shared wireless connection? Not sure if you are saying the problem is they can't use the shared wireless or you just...
I have mine setup on my test box ...
Profile path for user test is...

I just installed DSL for someone and on the phone line used for the DSL modem there use to be two phone lines. Now only the DSL phone number works on that phone line. Anyone ever seen this happen? Is this caused by the filter? I am thinking I could just use one of those phone line splitters and...
I mentioned sony because most likely if a store has a WXGA laptop on display it's a sony. This just so she can see/feel the difference between different types of laptops since Dell's are not available for viewing in person as easily.
Take her to Best Buy or some place where she can see/feel the difference between the type of screen/weight of a 700m and the 6000. Sony will most likely have a WXGA laptop at a store and there's always a 15" type laptop to look at in a store. Besides price it's a weight difference between the...
I'd like to second that recommendation based on it's cost but mainly based on it's size and weight. Depending how mobile she will be with it I think the 700m is a good choice considering it's weight. Make sure she can handle the resolution of the WXGA though.
yea Clear type looks a lot better on mac and linux. Haven't messed with it enough in win xp to try to make it look the same. Could try the power toy for clear type maybe that would help.
Maybe try reseating the RAM. Also try with the battery and ac adapter removed hold down the power button for about 30 seconds then plug the ac adapter back it and try to start it up.
Drive around with a laptop running NetStumbler with the sound notification on and just set it in the back seat. About 30 minutes and I had close to 300. Apartments with WiFi are fun even just to look at some of the funny SSID's.
Lots of good points here...
Chicago! Yea I want to leave too but I know that if I stay here a bit longer and get more experience (and money stashed) it will make the move to a different place that much easier. If you don't take this management position guess what? Someone who doesn't know...
I would say start with the CCNA because you can actually read most of it like a text book. I'm pretty sure most of the CCNA is more text reading then actually hands on material, but I could be wrong. I know CCNA has some hands on stuff like commands, but for the most part I think you can read...
I bought a 20 foot s-video cable years ago to do the same thing you are trying to do. It works, but its pretty much useless IMO. Maybe for videos its ok but using the internet, playing games, etc its really bad quality especially for text. They might have gotten better since I used it with a ATI...
Can't blame them for their dependance on IE considering it use to have about 95% of the browser market and has just dipped recently to about 85%. We can complain all we want about windows and it's problems, but I think it's better to have almost everyone using the same software then having to...
I have a Win2k DC setup in my house behind the router/firewall. I have DHCP disabled and DNS is running. My server has Active Directory running, but I don't remember it forcing me to choose 10.0.0.1 as the IP address. Did you assign a static IP to the NIC on the server? and a preferred DNS...
This is actually a weird thing with laptops. At work we have all laptops and almost all of them have the stickers left on them. I don't even think about taking my sticker off any of my laptops. Maybe it's because they add a little color to the laptops heh.
I did remove the stickers off my old...
Just download the drivers off the HP website, burn them to cd, and then install XP using a regular XP cd.

I installed win2k and then WinXP and they both seem to install ok, but they are missing files. For example when I try to run the SP4 update on the Win2k install it errors out because it says the install is missing files. Now I installed WinXP and it seemed to install fine, but again there are...
Sony VAIO PCG-R505TL
The hard drive is almost dead. I have heard many a dead laptop drives in the past few months but this one is the loudest yet it still works a little. I first loaded a WINPE CD to get it to boot up since it would not boot off the OS. WINPE took forever to find the hard...
Like swatbat said you have 2 options: 1) buy an ide cable converter for your laptop drive and then hook it up to the ide cable of your desktop. 2) buy a USB enclosure for laptop hard drives and put your hard drive in it and hook it up to your desktop's USB ports.
I do this all the time. Best...
If price is a factor then I would say dell is your best bet considering all the coupons and deals they have. Plus if you get the laptop at a good price with a coupon or other deal then that will leave you money for a complete care warranty.
We have a lot of D600's at work and although I am...
Oh man I wish I didn't see this post. I have a S3000 and am craving more zoom and more features. The S5000 is being replaced by a 4MP version called the S5100 thus the sears clearance. Put my S3000 up forsale and hopefully it will sell so I can grab this S5000. Nice find.
This camera his its...
