Well done, Padawan! Just kidding - I think you made a good decision. My favorite mouse is a wired Logitech optical that costs only $12. Had a...
Over the years you accumulate quite a number of the screws and cables, etc. IMHO, it would be a waste of money to spend $33 on a retail floppy...
You beat me to the 'post' button, Pete. I've never bought a retail drive in all my years of tinkering. If someone told me that they come with...
I get the feeling that what you're looking for may not exist. As mentioned, I'd see if you can add some USB ports to your box. Sometimes there are...
Well Denny, I think you've answered your own question about overclocking. Oc'ing shortens the lifespan of your components, voids their warranties...
I think if you were more specific in your question you'd get some replies. You say that this is your first build but you also mention...
AFAIK, hard drives don't come with cables. They come with the mainboard and they always come with flat cables. The reason for that is that a...
CSD, I've used both Netgear and Linksys and liked them both. I was actually a Netgear loyal fan until I bought a Netgear WGR614 (that router...
So what exactly is the moral of the story? It was a bit hard to follow. :D Additional cooling to a case should be added in the form of rear fans...
Yes. Bioses don't ever control fan speed. I have a rheostat attached to my fan so I can control fan speed. Some Thermaltake fans come with...
That's for sure, Rebecca. I sure wouldn't put any mission-critical data on the drive. You might want to run some utility on the old drive that...
These days, it's usually a good idea to run your cpu fan off the power supply. There are 3-to-4 pin adapters that include a yellow split-off to...
I strongly suggest you invest $10 and get one of those small power supply testers. I got one at pcpowerandcooling.com. I'm thinking it must do...
Moore, One thing to keep in mind is that cpu failure, IMHO, is extremely rare as long as they are kept from overheating. But, heck, in my...
It sounds like a progressively-worsening hardware problem either with your video card or monitor. Do you have any spares around to do some...
Moore, just curious, but what's behind the change? Is this an upgrade or did you have a falling out with Epox?
I still see thermal efficiency ratings in heatsink reviews and even compared when the review compares various heatsinks. I always knew that...
This is not, or at least, should not be the typical driver update experience. I've been doing this for years with no problems. That's quite...
The first suspect would be a fan. Try systematically disabling one fan at a time and see if you can track down the culprit (not disabling the cpu...
If you're saying that you shouldn't try out each new successive driver version that ATI releases I think your statement will fall upon alot of...
