thanks CrimandEvil, what do you guys think about the WinTV-GO ? its like $18 @ http://www.surpluscomputers.com/store/main.aspx?p=ItemDetail&item=CRD10186

yah, i'd say depending on how often u visit grandma, and how much time you got to fix every problem she has, cheap dell deals may be the way to go. I got a roommate, whom i help built a pc for a few months ago. He's already got virus and spyware problems (which of course is HIS fault), but...

i saw that the pvr150 only has hardware encoding, while only the 350 has both. What does the hardware decoding offerr? Just when you are watching tv? thinking about getting a tv tuner again, after i have tried and gave up on the TV Wonder VE. Just way too buggy for me. Driver installation...

Wow, $1k for grandma's PC is WAYYYY TOO MUCH. get her a sempron 3000+ cpu (has 512kb cache) $100 on newegg, cheaper elsewhere http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819104217 a 333fsb mobo like asus a7v8x-x for $51 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131451...

So now, i have reverted the router back to 5.03 firmware, and wired internet is working fine again. I have a speestream 5100b modem, and according to netgear, i have to disable the PPPoE. (since it is built into these new modems, and conflicts with the ROUTER trying to go PPPoE)...

Bump. Is there anyone else with this problem? Even if u dont have a solution, it'll be comforting to hear that im not the only one. thanks

yeah it is.

when i assign a valid ip address same problem occurs. So i have upgraded to firmware 5.3. This seems to have worsen the case. Now, i am having problems connecting even with the WIRED computer. It seems to be able to get on some sites, but it is extremely slow. And half the case, it will...

Yes, the SSID is correct. Thanks for the reply. Think of anything else?

Hello, I have a Netgear MR814v2 Wireless Router, and a MA111 USB Wireless Adapter. I have setup WEP and enabled wireless connection on the router. I have installed and setup the key on the adapter from my computer. I set the IP address to auto, and it grabs the ip of 192.168.0.4 from the...

all u gotta do is use the scroll wheel on the mouse. scroll up and down and come back to flashlight. It should re-illuminate room.

OK. I feel like im talking to myself here, but i post in effort to help with future people with the same problems. So please forgive me. I found that when the LOGITECH WINGMAN PROFILER is on, the intellipoint software will fail. If the logitech is on, you must restart your PC, and the...

what do u mean raise the ire of the mods? What is wrong with my title? I have tried uninstalling and deleting all folders. when i checked the registry, i don't seen any thing for intellipoint. Do you know where the entries are located? thanks.

Hello, After reinstalling my pc, I've come to install the INTELLIPOINT Driver. After installing 5.0, I realized that it did not have the program specific button functions, so i uninstalled and reinstalled to 4.1. Now, the program specific checkbox is there, but when i click on SETTINGS, it...

I reformatted my pc. installed newest cat 4.6, newest sound driver, newest via chipset driver, newest, WM encoder, newest MMC, MDAC, TV WONDER and REMOTE DRIVER. Still have same problem. I don't know what is wrong. Now the remote controls the WAVE line, instead of master or line in...

I find that the design of the CASE itself has a great deal to do with temperature even with the same amount of fans. My old case had 1 intake 1 exhaust, and temps were HIGHER than when I bought my new case with 1 92mm intake and NO EXHAUST. now I've added a 120mm exhaust and temps are...

I bought this 120mm fan. It is defninitely NOT quiet as proposed. They must measure the decibal level like 10 feet away. I also have a fan controller, so i turn that thing down. One thing I didn't notice in the ad was that it has both the molex and 3 pin connector. The molex has 2 wires...

Hello, I recently purchased an ATI TV WONDER VE with REMOTE CONTROL. With the driver from the CD installed, I get a problem with crashing when I try to setup. Before that I was getting problems with schedule recording. so I reformatted my PC, install latest SOUND driver, VIA Chipset...

1. can you get TV OUT for windows desktop without the DVD? meaning do you see windows on TV? 2. You mention the DVD Player is black screen. Is it black screen on your MONITOR also? If yes, its not a TV OUT situation. It's your dvd software, maybe codec problem?

final GT, I read a previous post that was very important that no one seemed to pay attention too. That is your PSU specs. Have you got a decent PSU? how many watts? Make sure you have enough amps at the voltage required by the vid card. godzillasdm

What is CMSS?

yeah no kidding. was originally suppose to be...how do i cut the fan ports. =) to clear things up, im not cuttong out a hole piece off a wall or something like that. Basically im trying to cut out, an existing port with "holes" on it already. So i have to cut out like 8 pieces of 1-2mm...

what is a nibbler? thai

actually my ROOMMATE DOES have a drill. What is a HOLE SAW?? Just pick it up at home depot? i don't know my neighbors =(. cuz i live in an apt, and i play games all day in my room like a hermit crab. lol thanks for your infos! GODzillaSDM

Hi guys, I wanted to know if there was any way I can cut out the stock fan "holes" on the case and put on a fan grill, without dremel tools? Any way to cut it out using standard knife, cutting blade.... ? will a cutting blade slowly but surely saw thru the case ? any other ideas? im...

I found one for $40 at http://store.yahoo.com/directron/cslx6a19.html how is the air flow / cooling on this case? pretty good? ANY MORE CASE RECOMMENDATIONS? thanks GODzillaSDM

hey guys, anyone know where i can get a medium size tower that has 120mm fan ports? Is it usually the intake that is 120mm?? OR are there cases that have both intake and exhaust at 120mm? Whats the cheapest you guys have found? thanks GODzillaSDM

Fry's Electronics has Glow In The Dark Round Cable 3 PEICE SET for $10. 2 ATA133 and 1 Floppy, all for $10. not sure if thats diff from UV cables.

I recently bought 2 Silenx 80mm Thermistor Fans. They are very quiet when ur PC starts up because it runs on Low Speed. But within half an hour, it will definietly use HIGH SPEED, because the PC will get hotter even on idle since it doesn't move much air on Low Setting. The High Speed is...

QUOTE "the 10 degree drop was prolly from opening your case, changing the case temp, therefore cooler air around your HDD" actually, the 10 drop is with CASE CLOSED.

Anyone here use SiSoftware Sandra, and believe their temperature report is accurate?? anyone know any software that will display ur temps in a small window constantly? Without doing the whole mainboard test thru Sandra. thanks thai

If you are not overclocking. I would recommend the Spire WhisperRock IV. in fact I have a spare one for sale. =) [email protected]

hi all, I was curious as to how SiSoftware Sandra or any other software measures Hard Drive temperature. The only thing any software can do, is to translate what information is available. Temperature is only available thru physical measure. Does the HDD actually have some sort of...

in reply to DOT. i would say the 2 14dBA slienx versus the 1 25dBA is about the same. Im not measuring with any devices tho. I also bought vantec vibration dampers for case fan and power supply.... No help waste of money... =( wished i hadn't been obsessed with sound. Would've saved...

i am very upset now.... i spent $15 on a Spire WhisperRock IV for my CPU, $31 for 2 Silenx case fan, and last night, my CPU tem went up to 51 on IDLE! and 57 on load!!! I think cuz it was warm last night but what will happen when summer comes around??? any suggestions?? i'm bummed out...

i bought 2 for $31 after tax and shipping. I would not say they are worth that much. I would not buy it if I could redo it. thats my opinion. My previous case fan was not that loud. I had 1 exhaust case fan. no Intake. and was around 25dBA. Now i have 2 case fan. (1 intake and 1...

Ok, i went ahead and bought 2 Silenx Case fans, with thermistor. It indeed is very quiet. It did decrease the cpu temp by 3*C on idle to 47*C max. (from 50*C idle), but on LOAD, it continue to rise to 53*C. I conclude that...it works well when its not too hot, but when its load, it...

awww thats too bad. I don't think i'll get anything specifically to measure the temp. thanks for all your reply's GODzillaSDM

Hello, I have a "BUILT BY ATI" 128MB - 9800 PRO. I wanted to find out if there is any way I can measure the Temperature on the card. I know the 9600XT and 9800XT has some software for their cards, but do the 9800 PRO have anything to measure? Wouldn't the measurement require some sort...

thank you all for your reply. I too read somewhere that every 3db is doubling of "PERCEIVED" volume. i disconnected my case fan, so only the cpu fan, and psu is running. The psu is an antec dual fan. Think that is the next loudest. without the case fan, cpu idles from 42 to around...
