How about a sticky on HTPC case recommendations?

I'm looking for an HTPC case that is both affordable (<$200) and will accept a ATX mobo. Would appreciate any recommendations. However, while searching this forum, I didn't come across a sticky on HTPC case recommendations. Not sure how to begin a sticky on that topic-- any interest?

Here comes the dreaded price cuts..

What socket type is Conroe supposed to mount to? LGA775? If someone were to buy a mobo today-- would they be able to upgrade to Conroe in current socket w/o bios upgrade? I hope to buy a S939 Opty-- so I hope AMD does reduce prices... but I can *see* that it may not have to.

Flash KT7 with KT7A bios?

In re-reading Anand's review of the KT133A, he stated that it was a KT133 except now the mobo's were "certified" to run the FSB at 133Mhz. So I'm assuming that Abit put a better quality resistor etc... to get to the KT133A. A quote from the article: Nonetheless, in late December 2000...

Flash KT7 with KT7A bios?

Since the KT133A is basically a "certified" KT133, could I just flash my Abit KT7 with a KT7A bios and obtain 133Mhz bus?

Newbie MB Question

I have a Kt7. Generally love Abit boards. This one caused me trouble getting a network card and modem installed. Abit has been removed from AMD's recommended list. I've setup Asus boards as well. I'd recommend the Asus or MSI board at this time.

What is the best Mobo for 1 Ghz TBird and RAID

Zapple, If you start having IRQ conflicts, you could hack the bios (or get another board like MSI). If you really want a stable board and no overclocking, get an MSI. They're supposedly the best. Asus are good (but I've had nothing but headaches with them). If you do stick with the Abit, you...

Problems with my Asus A7V133 motherboard

Mobo quesiton

Yes. If you're in windows and you have a sudden lockup, usually this is a video issue. If you get a blue screen it could be a memory issue or otherwise. If the system goes black, it could be mobo. If you can't even boot, it could be a bunch of things, but I'd start with power supply, memory...

Reformat HD when upgrading to new MoBo?

I don't think you'll have a problem. Just back up your system, switch over and then "see" what happens. Of course the clean way is to reinstall windows. On the other hand, if the install of the new mobo causes problems, than you could wipe windows and start all over. Soooo, it's...

You're kidding right?! 1. Lock the bios with a password. 2. Flash to latest bios. 3. What operating system? Win95? Win95 sucks at continuous running. Too many memory leaks. Should get a reboot every few days.

First: If you're overclocking, why did you bump the I/O voltage? You could just bump the core plane and be fine. Try this. W.r.t. sound card issue: 1a. Go back to normal clock on everything. See if you're having the problem still. 1b. Remove all cards but video and sound. Try the system...

Oneeye is right. You'd need a router, like from Linksys. The cable modem, would then "see" a NIC. Without a hub, install 2 cards in the "host" machine and then link up the home network.

No problemo. One of the beauties of Win98 is that you can reinstall it upon itself. Just boot to dos, and run Win98 setup.
