hey guys, I've got a chaintech K8T800-8237 motherboard, and just got my ATI x800xl video card in a week or so ago. I installed it per instructions, and I get no video at all on boot. everything winds up and beeps, but no video to see. i'm running Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG. I installed it...

Answered with sarcasm, but very effective sarcasm. I have Photoshop CS, and a bunch of adobe stuff at work that is enterprise edition software, which means lots of burned cd's floating around. I wouldnt install it at home b/c it still requires internet activation.

when i build new boxed i pretty much just buy motherboard, ram, and chip. Then cannibalize my other comps. Ever seen that creepy scene when all the messed up slapped together toys in toy story come out and scare woody? Thats how i build my cheap machines.

if it isnt recessed i'm not above supergluing a small nut to it and using some gradual force to get it loose.

as in title, looking for a cheap wireless print server. I have an HP 7130 printer, with USB connection, so i dont need one with a serial port, just USB. Any help would be appreciated.

What are you talking about? Wont work? As long as it has a pcie or agp slot, you can plug your card in and disable onboard video. Just make sure it has one of those, or go hunting for a pci video card, but they dont get much better than onbaords i've seen. Maybe an emachines doesnt have the...

Sorry, probably a bad post, but, this section of the forums is super slow. I'm a computer "nerd" by any standards, but i am completely aware that there are many active "nerds" out there. I just think its too hard to find. I have been a member here for a while and do a lot of viewing, but i just...

I was really looking to use my existing hardware. Well i guess i can look for an 80mm heatsink with low db. I built this computer in 2000, and its all together, just a loud fan. Time to get hunting i guess. Any links to quiet heatsinks for socket A, or 80mmm+ fan & heatsink combos?

cool, got a timed out message when registering, but just got my order confirmation from microsoft. FREE

I have a 1.4ghz thunderbird and mobo laying around. only problem is that the bearings/sleeves on the heatsink fan is going. I wanteed to know if anyone couls help me find a fanless/ radiant heatsink for the processor since its going in the livingroom as a media machine. My video card is already...

do you like the exposed rafters on your ceiling. I'm assuming you are in the basement, i didnt read carefully. Why not slap a few pieces of gypsumboard up or more commonly known as drywall. Better yet, Staing the rafters a cherry, or the same color as the finish you are covering your wood on the...

Hey guys & gals, My boss just gave me some free electronics over the weekend. a 27" flat screen television, dvd/vhs/mp3 player, and this neat audiotron. I wanted to know if anyone had used one of these before? I am most likely going to set it up this evening and give it a test run. Here is the...

very cool man. Great first attempt. You definitely have the basic idea down, and i see a bright future. I have 3 dead monitors laying around as well. I turned one into a fishtank. I think i will give this a shot with my 1.4ghz machine. I have to say, its gotta be a bit loud with all those fans...

any reason you didnt opt for the battery upgrade to 9cell. wont you get more playtime if you got it. I have a 16 cell i think foor my juice monkey i9100, and it could do with an upgrade.

treo 600 inst bad, plus i got it to play Divx movies. Its a phone though, not just a pda

finallly got to play again last night, darn school and work. Well got up to lvl 14 and almost to 15. Working that barrens right now. I finally did get a bit of lag sat night, but for the most part, it was off and on for about an hour. i imagined weekends would be far worse than weekdays.

is it normal to have to wait 1 hr for somethign someone mailed to you to arrive? Also, i'm in the newb cities around undercity, and it seems everyone is already in groups. i must have harassed like 30 people to come on a mini quest or just kill stuff for exp, but every one said they were...

Sorry bout that, i meant to clarify pubs. I used to clan a lot, and it was a ball. I just meant that when you get in DOD CS pubs you get some nonsense, but in clan play, its diffe3rent. When i get in WoW, I am not aware of any public in-game VOIP for general users, only if one has been set...

cough* ***Steam***** cough ***the first 6 months*** cough. I'm not discouraged, I played on FROSTWOLF last night. No Laggies or anything. My bro has a group of buddies he has been playing games like quake, everquest, and a few other since 1997. tight group of mostly profesionals out in...

fantastic attention to detail. Please take this mod where I know its going! p.s. might take a file to that rough edge though

Have to say, very kool game. My brother in Houston talked me into getting it, and he was absolutely right. Tons of fun. Unfortunately, it took like an hour to install with all the updates. But once it was installed I was so happy i stopped by Best buy after class too get it. I was tired b/c i am...

sure it does, he's modding a cd-rom to full plexi, unless you classify worklogs as full systems only. This is a bit of a full device mod if he goes as far as i want to see him go with it.

Its all about the dental floss. The same way i got the dealer emblem off my truck and car. Just heat it up a bit with a hair dryer- keep the actualy hairdryer a good 8" away , and do it slowly. then slide some dental floss between the two and PRESTO! Edit: if it wont give with str8 pressure...

my dell dj lets me sort by artist/playlist/ song title/ length and so on. i think mine only has like 15 artists on it, but in reality I have 2800 songs on it. So i have it shuffle by name.

how does the X300 stack up to the X200. I have one for work. I'ts really tiny, but if you want a CD rom, you have to have the attachment/ media slice i guess. I's love to have just the X200 by it self for websurfing in the livingroom.

Thanks for the help guys, But as stated in original post, i tried the tools/ options/ views tab. We actually have an IT group in our central office in Florida, but I prefer not to harass them for tinuy problems like this, thats what you guys are for. j/k I ended up submitting a ticker here at...

ahhhah, call me captain obvious, but he called you a Troll! Man the wit in these forums constantly amazes me.

Look , My ideal laptop, and its only gonna cost me how much?!!!! (bottom for answer) :D Inspiron XPS Gen 2 Intel® Pentium® M 770 Processor (2.13GHz/533MHz FSB) Operating System Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional WPXP LCD Panel 17in True Life™ Wide Screen UXGA Display 17UXGAS Memory 2GB...

Have you ever tried to change a tire for someone over the phone? I dont mean explain how, I mean physically cahnge it for them. This is how I now feel since my manager has moved to our local homebuilding office 20 miles away. New gremlins on his laptop almost weekly. The latest problem, the tabs...

I know its kinda crazy about the lousy battery life. But the i9100 is more of a desktop replacement than a tue portable. Inspiron 9100, Pentium4 3.2GHz15.4-in. WXGA FREE UPGRADE! 512MB,400MHz 2DIMM (from 256MB,400MHz 1DIMM) 64MB ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 60GB Ultra ATA Hard Drive...

1- 1.75 hours with wireless networking enabled. about two plus a few with it disabled and screen dimmed the most. i9100 is a machine, but unfortunately machines use fuel.

I've got the gen 1 Dell dj. From my expereince, i'd say it lasts 12-14 hours, on random as long as i'm not playing with the menus and stuff. I have roughly 2500 songs on mine, and its only up to 6 gigs out of the 15 it has. I'd say that for my needs, hooking it up to the pioneer in the truck for...

or.... by a crossover cable at the store. Set up a network between the two computers...BAM! Done with speed, and minimal cost. If you ahve a wireless router, or wired router/switch..even better.

Guys, i have creating a lot of macros to save me time at work lately with the help of a buddy of mine. The problem is that I dont know how to program in vba. I come up with the logic, then we sit down and write the code together. Works great, but I would like to be able to do the whole process...

Sprint PCs. Got the plan on Jan 14th, 2003. Really when they started introducing cell's with data capabilities for the mainstream. Free phone sanyo 4900. And now, Treo 600. Looking to possibly upgrade to treo 650, but not urgently. got two oof them from the company when they were liquidating...

I am on a month to month plan from ages ago when they couldnt do much with the data. for $40 a month i have 500 min talk, unlim night & Weekend, and UNLIMITED DATA. its awesome. I have read in some of the forums that you need to be conservative with the band width, especially if hooking up to a...

Okay guys, I had some pictures from a party on my old laptop, so i plugged in, cut paste, the folder of the pics onto the usb drive. Stupid me, I was running win 2k, and i just pulled the plug out. Well i plugged the thumb drive into my other comp and went to open it, but to no avail. all the...

sorry in a hurry, this is what i typed on the PDA or IPOD thread "I have a treo 600. Love it. I have a bunch of games, I use the organizer at work, a program to take video with sound, use AIM, I can watch videos (divx b/c of size constraint), and listen to Mp3's. Oh yeah, and Talk on the...
