I'm building a new super-rig with, among other things, two RAID arrays. At least that's what I would like to do. I want to setup two (used) Kingston SSDNow V-Series 128GB (SNV125-S2/128GB) drives in a RAID0 array as my main boot drive, with three Western Digital 640GB AAKS drives in RAID5 for...

So a local computer store has a promo right now where you can buy a copy of Win7 Home Premium OEM x64 for $99.99 and get a free 500GB HDD. I want to get my mom upgraded to Win7, but her system and usage patterns are better suited to the x86 version. Basically I wanted to ask, can I use the...

I need to clean some old water cooling parts that have been in the same loop for nearly two years. I'll be removing and replacing the tubing, and taking apart the blocks to clean them. Most of the gear is Danger Den, with the GPU blocks being NV78 models and the CPU block being a TDX. I also...

I have a DangerDen TDX for my Athlon FX-62, and I'm wanting to use it on my new Phenom system. However I need the metal backplate, and it's stuck rather firmly to the back of the current motherboard. How do I remove this backplate?

I'm doing a re/re on my HTPC due to some problems I was having with Vista on the first go around. I'm using the MSI K8N Neo4-F (PCB 1.0) motherboard and Vista Ultimate, and when I install the Realtek AC97 drivers I don't get any audio out of the analogue outputs. Audio works on digital no...

I'm setting up my HTPC with the MSI K8N Neo4-F (PCB 1.0) motherboard under Vista Ultimate, and when I install the Realtek AC97 drivers I don't get any audio out of the analogue outputs. Audio works on digital no problems, but analogue is non-existent. I can't even select the analogue channels...

I have a 250GB and a 500GB SATA drive in one of my systems, and would like them in one big chunk of storage space. Naturally this would lead me to JBOD. One thing I'm curious about with that spec is data integrity. If one of the drives fail does it affect data across the entire JBOD array, or...

I apologize ahead of time if this is against the rules. The subject is a grey area, and I understand if there is a need to delete this thread. Anyhow, I'm curious if anyone can point me in the direction of an NES and SNES emulator that is Vista compatible. Now that I've had my experience with...

I'm wondering what modern quiet HS/F units are compatible with Socket A processors, and do you guys have any particular recommendations for an HTPC? I've been looking at different Zalman units, but they don't specify any older compatibilities, just the modern sockets. I have an Athlon XP3200+...

I want to play around with my RTM copy of Vista Ultimate, but still dual boot in XP. How big is the installation footprint of Vista? Could I just make an NTFS partition of say 20GB to store Vista and a couple apps, since Vista should be able to read the rest of my drives?

I tried searching the forum first to answer this, but didn't find anything. I'm building an HTPC, and am hoping to get HD from the local cable company. I would like to have the PVR in the HTPC record the HDTV channels in all their glory, What I'd like to know is there a way to get component...

Hi Everybody. I'm building my first HTPC, and the tuner card of choice that I'm using is the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-150 MCE Edition. I would of liked to have dual tuners, but my budget restricts me from getting the better card (this one was bought on eBay at a significant discount). Then as I was...

Quick question. I have a GeForce4 Ti4600 and I just bought a GeForce 6600 GT. I have the latest Forceware drivers installed from my last system reinstall. Can I just swap the cards, or should I reinstall drivers.

Hey guys, I have a few eBooks that are in *.chm format, and wanted to know if you can suggest a PalmOS 5 compatible application for reading these files. None of the current readers I have will read these files. Thanks :D
