ECS K7S5A will not POST, no beeps either

I was having problems with my K7S5A not POSTing, just spinning the fans. Problem was the two standoffs I'd used right near the CPU were causing a short. Removed those and it ran beautifully. Incidentally, I had power supply issues with an AMD approved 350W source from Antec, with nothing but...

Sweet Deal: Dreamcast Broadband Adapter $59-in stock: Sega going 3rd Party !!

A little off-topic, but since the BBA is back-ordered, I'll share this nifty URL: http://home.elp.rr.com/terlouw/DCWinMEServer.htm. It's a little method for running your DreamCast connection through your PC. It's a bit of trouble, but if you find yourself in the same situation I'm in, it's a...

When they ask for the UPC, do they just want me to peel off the entire Value RAM sticker from the front fo the package and send it in?

What is goo-gone?

Anyone know if lighter fluid will remove thermal tape/compound effectively? It would certainly be cheaper and handier than hunting through Wal-Mart for Goo-Gone. cpebbles

You sure you wouldn't rather spend another week and a half talking about how he needs to be anally raped in prison and going off on tangents about race relations in America? cpebbles

What's your favorite CD-RW drive ???

The more I use my Plextor 8/4/32, the more I think that Burn-Proof technology is intended more as a placebo effect than anything else. Whatever I do with my outdated BP6/Cel366@468, the drive keeps burning away at 8X speed without a hiccup. Maybe it's necessary if you're running on a...

RAM - Generic vs. Name Brand

Is PC150 pretty much guaranteed to run @ 2-2-2 133 MHz? That's the only reason I'm thinking of snatching some of that cheap Kingmax RAM. cpebbles

How important is ATX form factor? Could I build a cube-shaped case?

Can't get through to that site. My connection is sometimes a little flaky, can anyone else get through to http://www.yeonyang.com? cpebbles

2 Optical Mice $16.90 shipped

He's right (for these mice anyway) if I go absolutely as fast as I can. But if I drop off the speed about 10%, I get no problems. I couldn't care less myself--not a FPS guy--but I guess those who are should stick with ball mice unless MS's track better than these suckers. cpebbles

How important is ATX form factor? Could I build a cube-shaped case?

Just an idea I've been toying with, something to do during an upcoming vacation. I wanted to make a Lexan case, but I was thinking more along the lines of a cube (Call me crazy, I just don't like tower shapes). Assuming I plan sufficiently that I don't have my power source and motherboard in...

2 Optical Mice $16.90 shipped

I ordered these on a whim and, after a brief out-of-stock period, they arrived today. I must say that I'm not disappointed. They're not ergonomic, the middle button sticks out a centimeter and looks like you could cut yourself on it, and the mousepad is tiny. That said, it seems to track very...
