I'm looking to buy a Stock Hard Drive Cage for my antec 900 so I can finally remove my cd drives and get a little more airflow. I'm thinking about $30 shipped.

Depending on the amount of modding your willing to do, just about any full tower server case should do. As of right now though, I don't know of any cases that will let you easily bolt up any of those configurations.

Yeah, I agree with collegeboy. If he genuinely thought that he was allergic to wifi, I suspect he would have precluded from society in some mock Faraday cage.

Alright, I'll have it make the image overnight and I'll try to transfer it in the morning. Thanks for the help.

I didn't get a message from Acronis. After making the drive image, the only option it gave me was to restore the entire drive and remove the partition table on the new drive. It didn't seem to have a feature that would allow me to install to a specific partition.

Sorry, I didn't realise what I wrote. I meant to say that the image on my screen is not similar to the image you've presented in regards to the "extended" description. I edited the previous post already in hopes of avoided confusion. To hopefully confirm the results of gparted, I has fdisk...

no, there is nothing that refers to extended in gparted. Especially not in the way it is presented on that png. Sorry if I can't be more helpful.

Well, I'm currently in gparted. Maybe I don't know enough about the program to understand what I'm looking at, but none of the partitions are labeled as "extended" under the "file system" tab.

As it stands right now, the 160gig drive is formatted with a 74.5gig ext4 partition. It also has a 4gigabyte swap partition. The rest of the hard disk is formatted with a 75.1gig NTFS partition. Currently, I use the Grub bootloader for starting up Ubuntu as well as Vista. After transferring the...

Alright, here is the situation. I currently have a install of Vista Ultimate x64 on an 80gig hard drive. I also have a copy of Ubuntu Linux install on a on a 160gig hard drive that is formatted half with ext4 and the other half with ntfs. I would like to be able to copy over my Vista Ultimate...

Well, that green color is not the color of corrosion so I guess your safe. I don't know what it is. Just clean it off and hope for the best.

I remember when that was pretty quick.

Generally speaking though, the college IT have the ability to go and physically check whether the person is abiding by the rules. Also keep in mind, the college easily throttle the bandwidth at a per user level making it slow to a crawl when 2+ people are connected.

Yeah, I will be attending a college this fall that has this. Nice to know the system is problem free...

I really can't see the use of it. All the demos that MS has released so far amount to a very detailed babysitting simulation.

Well, it one of those things that you pick it up and it will last almost forever because you'll only use it once in a while.

Bump + PM Sent.

I just realized, I did not answer your second question. The reason why they use the aluminum foil in conjunction with pad is to offer better thermal efficiency. In the design of the computer, the developer need to meet a distance set by their manufacturing equipment between the heatsink and the...

While Leo Laporte is a great source of information on servicing computers a standard desktop keyboard is constructed differently from a laptop keyboard. Most desktop keyboards today are made with pressure sensitive circuits embedded inside of a elastic case. Then again, the only keyboard around...

Is it possible that Vista is in an automatic defrag session?

I would suggest one you can put in as well as afford.

Is this hard drive ATA or SATA?

Wow, this looks like an awesome build, I can't wait to see it finished.

For general power setups, this website has been a lifesaver in figuring out how big a psu I need. http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp It has a fairly recent part list to choose from which makes the whole estimate a lot more accurate.

It's pretty easy to tell if it's corrosion is when the green substance flakes off it's taking part of the radiator with it. It is is leftover from leak testing from the factory is should be water soluble and therefore wash off. It could also be mold from the preliminary leak testing.

Wow. Um, just wow. There are a variety of non-conductive cleaners out there that are far superior to water and alcohol for cleaning the gunk off of a laptop. When doing a project like this, it is a good idea to invest some time and money and head over to your local radio shack and buy some pcb...

Could you rephrase the question?

Probably a random explorer.exe error. Not really anything to worry about.

Yeah, I've love it when companies do that. Or you loose the power supply and they suddenly have a recall. That's also pretty cool.

Well, I hope they offer a decent price break for such a small bulk order.

Considering it's a decent game that can be had for ten dollars or less, it's certainly a steal. I mean, I bought it.

Wow. Just Wow. Anway, I second the pantyhose option. They're cheap, easy to get, easy to replace, and easy to clean. Plus they come in a variety of colors.

I personally am a big fan of Ubuntu. It is very user friendly, but also provides the tools to do actual "linux" things like compiling software and editing config files.

I've tried something similar in the past with very lackluster results. While is sounds like a really good idea, few games support dual monitors and even fewer support 3+ monitor setup. Sorry if this was not that answer that you wanted.

I agree with haadij404. Download a copy of CPUZ and it will give you any information about your processor and ram that you want.

While memory is pretty cheap right now, you won't see a great enough improvement to justify the cost.

Logitech speakers are always a good value. When they first starting coming out with the 5.1 speakers, it had a solid midrange, but lacked doing a decent treble. IMHO they have substantially improve the frequency range and speaker response since then.

Looks like a solid build. Though, I would have avoided installing windows 7 for a family box when xp is perfectly fine.

It's possible that the cd is dirty, scratched, or possibly a bad burn from the .iso file.
