I'm going to be building a new home file server (and by filer server I mean headless PC I can remote desktop to and connect to file shares) but I want to focus on energy efficiency since it will run 24/7. I'd like to connect it to my tv in the future so HDMI and optical sound would be nice...

thanks for the reply but I decided on the mobo and sent it back for RMA though newegg. Will write back when new one arrives. Thanks!

Just got a new Shuttle (SD30G2), 1gb ram, Core 2 Duo e6550, and 160gb ide HD. When hooking it up it will not post. Just sits with the power light on. Iv tried booting without ram, changing DIMMs, no HD and still nothing. Am I missing something special about shuttle's to get them to post?

turns out once VPC is running, I can just remote desktop and use my physical card. Thanks for the replies, much appreciated!

I took your advice and setup VPC and its working as it should except for the graphics. VPC XP device manager sees my nvidia 7150m as S3 trio display adapter and doesn't let me use nvidia drivers with it so my max screen res. is 1024x768. Any thoughts?

Not sure if this is in the right category but this is what I got. I just got an HP dv2615nr laptop with vista home premium on it. I love vista, but for school purposes, I need XP as well. I have XP dual booted with vista just fine but am having a h3ll of a time finding drivers (mainly...

resolved via windows update. Thanks everyone!

It is a microsoft wireless laser mouse 5000. I checked updates and didn't notice anything pertaining to this type of issue. I always run updates whenever I can so I dont know.

***RESOLVED*** I know I have heard the answer to this before but cannot remember for the life of me how to change it. Basically, I got a new wireless USB mouse and since hooking it up my vista x64 ultimate won't hiberate (or turn on screen saver for that matter) What needs to be done to...

I need to get my shed online going wireless. the shed is about 150ft (maybe a little more) but is a direct straight shot from the window of my office. Ive had a rangemax netgear with poor results in my home but have heard some good about linksys SRX. Any thoughts on what will provide a good...

exactly what the title says. Interested in how luck people have had with certain brand names. Don't really want to break the $1400 range. This is going to be a school laptop but would still the best bang for my buck. anything with a C2D would nice :) thanks in advance to any replies.

still got the 7800gt oc?

7900 gt still available?

Title pretty much says it all. Getting a new system that was configured with a 7800 gt oc 256mb but the guy sold that so I just need a new vid card and may do Sli in the future. I cant do to much more than $250, willing $300. Appreciate any replies. Happy 4th everyone! :D

all computers connecting are running XP pro sp2. I'd like to get WEP to work so I can use my wireless xbox adapter (it doesn't support WPA).

hi all, hope this is the right category for this question. I have cable internet and a brand new linksys wrt54g router. Lan lines work fine, but when i turn on WEP for the wireless, internet will not work. Turn WEP off, internet works fine. I had this same issue on my netgear wpn824...

mainly the motherboard, but will purchase a whole unit if need be. If you know any where to find one relatively cheap, let me know please. Thanks in advance. AIM = web gem2004

I reformatted a pc for a friend but he no longer has any of the drivers discs. I used Sandra2k5 and it said i have the Acer ALi 1631 ver1.5B mobo. Can anyone find the PCI drivers for this? I'v looked everywhere and can't find anything. My device manager says I need the driver for PCI simple...

im reformatting a computer for a friend to upgrade him to Xp pro. It previously had windows98 se on it. after the xp format it goes through the xp installation and once it gets to saving settings on the installation screen, after about a minute, the screen goes blue (not blue screen of death...

Reformatting is the lazy mans way out.....and I love reformatting! :) great post though.

my friend had something similar. It looks like its basically a pic on the desktop you cant remove. Try right clicking the desktop -> properties -> click desktop tab -> then Customize desktop button on bottom -> then web tab ->uncheck any webpages in the box Like I said, looks like what my...

wow, quick and easy. thanks a lot for the quick reply on such a noob question.

After i reformatted my laptop, i installed xp pro instead of the original xp home. Now it gives me the option of booting XP PRO or XP Home. I know home doesn't even exist on the machine because i just did a reformat. How do i tell the comp to forget about it? any info is much appreciated.

thanks for all the replies, much appreciated.

CDN?? could i get an american translation please. thanks

A friends friend is selling his laptop, but to get rid of it since he doesn't need it anymore. it is a Dell inspiron 5000e with 20gb HD 320mb ram 15" display pIII - 500mhz no usb 2.0 windows xp batteries only last 1/2 hr (must have power cord at all times) looks a little dinged up, but...

Is there any where on the net to get the drivers for the M6809 eMachines laptop? I need these drivers really really bad. Hope someone can help. thanks

I have a laptop with an ATI Rage mobility 8mb display and it makes a whining noise when screen is idle. If im scrolling a webpage it makes no noise, but when i stop, it makes that whine noise again. I believe it has to do with my refreshrate or something along those lines. Any thoughts? Any...

I recently purchased a brand new hitachi 30gb 5400rpm HD for ny laptop. I installed it along with a new 256mb ram stick and it makes a clicking noise whenever doing something. When idle, it is fine. I read the sticky on "clicking" hard drives and it was mainly due to a failing HD, but mine is...

I want to upgrade the memory in my compaq 1215US laptop from 128mb to 256mb. I opened up the laptop and cant find it anywhere (There is an opening on the bottom of the laptop that i think is where it goes) My questions are, (1) where is the memory (2) and can i install more than one stick (so...

Anywhere i can get a new fan for my NB? I have an Abit nf7 mobo. I cant do the zalman heatsink NB coolers because i have the zalman CNPS7000B-Cu CPU cooler and it hangs out over my NB. any ideas? thanks.

alright, thanks a lot man. happy holidays

one last question. I think a 5400 will hold me, that 7200 hitachi is a little to expensive for me, but what interface do i need. On new egg, almost every one has either ata-6, ata-7, ultra ata100, ect.. What one do i need? Its a presario 1200 laptop if that helps any. Thanks for all ur...

what about a 7200 rpm HD, i was thinking this one from new egg Hitachi 40 gb New egg Laptop HD's dont differ at all do they? like IDE hook up or anything like that? Im not to knowledgable on laptop supplies, thanks a lot. would a 7200 rpm give off to much heat?

will any higher speeds cause a problem with heat inside the computer? Thats my main concern. Thanks

I am fixing my laptop, the hard drive works but is pretty much shit. Its a 20gb 4200 rpm stock HD for a compaq presario 1200 laptop. It recently began to go very slow, even after fresh reformat it still sucks ass. I want to get a new HD so i was wondering if I put a 40gb 5400 rpm in there...
