Here's the deal. It's a soft $500. Originally she wanted a new "refurb" desktop and I suggested I could speed up her old desktop for not much (< $200.) and then spend the rest on a chromebook.
She spends most (I think) of her time online using her 8.4:" Galaxy Tab Pro for things like...
Thanks for the replies. I didn't realize I would need to address the GPU.
A new wrinkle. From my research it turns out the mobo supports AHCI but Dell never released a BIOS to enable it. I've found anecdotal info that its not a problem and also the opposite...
Thanks!
Yep, you're right. But I doubt I would be able to find anything reasonable through Dell Outlet that ships with a SSD. Undoubtedly a newer spinning drive is much faster that one made 9 years ago though. It probably would come with Windows 10 too. Hmm.
Thanks for your input!
My recently retired mother asked me to help her find a new refurb (cheap) desktop to replace the desktop she purchased EOL from her then employer several years ago. She says it "so slow". I suspect the HDDs.
I checked the specs and it was a nice machine in it's day. I know that for...
I thought I should put a bow on this...it turns out this issue was with EUFI. The solution was to contact Sapphire and ask for a non-EUFI compliant bios which they sent me. If fixed my problem.
I'm trying to put a 7770 in a Dell Vostro 460 and I'm not having any luck...I'm hoping I'm missing something obvious and someone will enlighten me.
Vostro 460 Specs:
i5-2400
4gb
64 bit Win 7 Pro
350 PSU
1 PCIe 2.0 slot
I bought a Power Color 7770 to play some older games. When I...

CM690 No free shipping ($17.10 for me) which may kill the deal, but you can do in-store pickup if your lucky enough to have a BM near by.
MIR good thru 3/02
I did this( ZALMAN ZM-NB47J) on my Neo 2 platinum and it worked ok. And I was oc-ing. The chipset got air from the GPU fan. The chipset wasn't very flat though. Concave if I remember correctly. Had to put some extra TIM in the center to get decent contact...but the system was stable and...
I wonder if I could mount it with fins above the card and have the air from the 120x38 on my Si-120 serve double duty? Wouldn't cool the ram as well though. Hmm...time to break out the tape measure.
Still hard to justify since I already have a V900 that I can borrow from my recently...
Thanks for replying xtknight. I went looking (pricegrabber) for the HP LP2065 and ran into a puzzle. There are 2 versions of this monitor with the exact same specs as far as I can tell except one costs about $90 more than the other.
#1) EF227A8#ABA ~ $400
#2) EF227A4#ABA ~ $490
Is it...
From personal experience the Ninja fits, but barely. Had to modify GPU to get things to cohabitate...This was with an ATI card.
Thermalright Si-120 wouldn't fit either.

The cooler I ended up using and liked the most was the XP-90. Not as good as some of the...
Could anyone tell me how my almost 3 year old 2001fp IPS panel stacks up against these newer non IPS panels like the LG226WT? And if a monitor such as the NEC LCD2070NX (IPS?) is better (at least on paper) than my 2001fp?
Mainly concerned with IQ and color reproductions.
Thanks,

Thanks for the idea and pictures. I finally got around to "cleaning" mine up. I think I'm going to try using ribbon cables...not much I can do to hide the rounded ones.

I just saw this at Microcenter yesterday and was impressed with the look and feel of it....a bit over your limit though.

After re-reading the replies I thought I should clarify my question.
The laser printer is not plugged into the UPS, but is on the same electrical circuit as the computer w/ the UPS . It seems every available circuit has a computer on it.
The problem is that the printer will still trip the...
I can't move the printer to a separate circuit. Will a line conditioner help? Or are there UPS that are designed to work with laser printers?
Just looking for solutions...
Thanks,

Well good for you. The point I'm making is that I for one was willing to sacrafice the overall gaming quality the CRT gave for the smaller footprint, lower power consumption and reduced eyes strain the LCD provides. The trade off is worth it to me.
