    Forgot Windows Password

    The quickest way to access an account is either to remove the password in safe mode, or if that isn't possible, booting from a CD/floppy and replacing the password in windows password file. Since I don't remember offhand, you'll have to google for where the password file is and what tools (if...

    Should I switch to SFF for college or no?

    The motherboard/case/PSU as a unit problem is a real one, but replacing the hard drive isn't that bad. Since you mentioned the SN95G5 and I happen to own one, I'll use that as an example. Since the FDD I ordered was delayed a week in shipping, I ended up installing it after the rest of the...

    Logitech MX1000 laser mouse review

    I was worried that I would have problems with the batteries on the MX100 since I've run out on my MX700 occasionally (forgetting to charge it for a few days) and needed to swap some new ones in while the old ones charged. Then I realized I'd just forgotten to cradle my MX1000 for a weeks worth...

    Should I switch to SFF for college or no?

    Although you might be different than I, I never upgraded my computer while I was in collage (except the time the motherboard died, but thats different). After I got out and started making money, I just bought an entirely new computer. I tend to do this every couple years, and use the old...

    SFF replacement motherboard question?

    After looking into it for a bit, I don't think so, but I'm not sure. I don't see any major challenges to putting an upgraded motherboard into an older case, as long as the motherboard is made for a case with a simmilar series. I wouldn't really want to count on it, however, and shuttle doesn't...

    Shuttle SN95G5

    By my understanding, putting a non-winchester 3800+ and a 6800GT came moderately close to the power supply limits for the guy that was testing it. Considering that winchesters use less power I think you cam probably get a winchester core CPU overclocked without power supply problems. With a...

    Shuttle SN95G5

    Those fit inside, but they do take up the one and only PCI slot in the case, so you can't put in a sound card or TV capture card. If you aren't planning on using its PCI slot, they're a nice add-in extra. Hmm... actually, I have a spare one floating around and haven't filled my PCI slot yet...

    For those who have the Shuttle XPC SN95G5...

    No, it can't. It has one internal hard drive slot that is unaccessable from the outside, and one external slot for a floppy drive that can be converted into a hard drive slot. If you want a floppy or card reader, you can only have 1 hard drive in that case. I'm not sure if they're going to...

    Which hardware?

    There are two cores for 939, but the 130nm cores that came out first only had speed grades starting at 3500+. The 90nm winchester cores that came out recently came in at the low end of the spectrum, at 3000+, 3200+, and 3500+. So the 3200+ if labeled correctly can only be a winchester. If its...

    SFF Recomendations

    There are some decent competitors out there now, but Shuttle still sells good cases, and they all come with the 4 items you listed above. There are a few niche markets or special situations, but I don't have a problem recommending shuttle for most SFF uses.

    need to build a sff pc

    The shuttle xpc case should come with its own special heat sink, so you can ditch the retail version of your processor and go OEM instead. Other than that, it looks fairly good. More hard drive space does sound like a good idea, but that depends a lot on how it'll be used. If your friend...

    64 bit CPU. A true technical review please

    Here's my long, rambling answer to your question, to the best of my knowledge. Although I don't follow server processors too much, my understanding was that some server processors from Intel were already 64 bit processors, but they were a completely different instruction set so they were...

    MX1000 vs MX700

    Ok, I have both an MX700 and an MX1000, and have also noticed the first twinges of RSI, and I can say its almost certainly not a weight issue. The weight makes very little difference, its almost always poor posture thats really causing the problem. I actually had more problems at work with my...

    Just bought an extended warranty for my hp laptop?

    It all depends on whether you can afford to replace it if it dies, and how well they actually honor it. The fact that they make money on every extended warranty sold is obvious, especially considering how much they push the warranties. So if you buy a few million laptops, you're better off...

    worst OC'ing CPU ever?

    My previous CPU (Athlon XP 2700+) just plain wasn't stable at stock speeds, it would crash in under a minute while attempting 3dmark. I ended up just lowering the FSB to 133 and leaving it till I could disagnose the problem later. Unfortunately, I never got around to figuring out what the...

    Should I upgrade: would SFF have better graphics?

    I'd have to agree with the comments here, there are some boards that might fit your specs, but I find it hard to recommend them. Integrated graphics aren't great, and it'll be a stretch to find a board with 3 DIMM slots. I did a search on newegg for 3x or 4x DIMM slots on an a64 microATX board...

    I keep losing my DSL connection

    I'd get a line test before replacing your ethernet card. I had similar problems with my DSL, although it was very intermittant. It took me several calls and 3 line tests to fix it, but it was eventually tracked down to a cracked phone cable running just under the soil by my back door. Every...

    Lian-Li

    I'm not too fond of the new cases, but the PC-65 cases are very nice. Excellent construction, good features, plenty of fans (with a filter on the intake fans), and a nice removeable motherboard tray. Also, their universal CD drive covers (sold seperately, of course) are the best I've seen (but...

    help me choose my sff hardware

    You sure you didn't just steal my system specs and replace my precious Raptor with a Seagate? I went with "xtra-low latency" corsair ram, but not sure it makes too much of a difference over the value ram. The 90nm winchester core athlons use less power, but aren't necissarily easier to...

    Help before i go crazy over Audigy part numbers

    Ok, the only thing that makes it look like an Audigy 2 instead of a ZS is the colorized connectors, but the Audigy 2 currently in my computer has non-colorized connectors, so I wouldn't be suprised if they made a ZS with colorized connectors. This is especially true if its an OEM product (they...

    My new ram will olny run at 266Mhz but its DDR400 help!

    It didn't sound like it, but yah, it might be he's running at 133. I'd be suprised if a board would underclock it _that_ much, even if it does need a 800MHz FSB to get full speed, but I suppose I could be wrong.

    advise prior buying Shuttle SB81P

    The 939 AMD version is out (though not in the same case, but a simmilar one), called the sn95g5, and personally I'd go for that instead. I just bought one and am happy so far (except for occasionally losing the network driver on reboot, but that should be fixed in the latest BIOS I haven't...

    Overclocking a shuttle SN95G5

    Hmm, I may end up overclocking my sn95g5 and 90nm 3500+, but haven't yet, making sure its stable first. I'm not suprised that any multiplier over 9 doesn't work, the non-FX chips have a locked multiplier that can't be increased (but you can reduce it, this is how cool & quiet works).

    Need Help with very random reboots

    Err... thats your problem right there. 1.55V on the 12V rail is not a good thing, and are you sure you don't smell smoke from the 162.89V rail? Ok, ok, so its obvious you mistyped it. Care to correct it?

    Very Desperate - 30 dollars Paypal to Whoever Can Save My Installation

    Depending on your setup, you might be able to boot from a Knoppix CD, then copy the files you want to save to a blank partition, then wipe and reinstall on the first partition and copy the files back. This can cause registry problems, but might work for things like preloaded HL2 if you can find...

    Best CPU for Adobe, General, and Folding@Home use?

    True, Intel is better at some content creation suites, but Adobe doesn't seem to be one of them. Most of the applications mentioned look like an A64 can handle them better (though I'm not sure how well HT helps with folding@home). The specific benchmarks I'm looking at are here. A year ago...

    My new ram will olny run at 266Mhz but its DDR400 help!

    DDR is dual data rate, so the number quoted is actually twice the physical clock speed (since it passes data twice every clock). DDR400 runs stock on a 200MHz clock, so at 266 you're already overclocking it by 33%. Even the best MB/RAM/CPU I've seen tends to top out at 290ish physical MHZ on...

    Is the 939 a Dual Channel mobo?

    Dual. The only difference between socket 754 and 939 is that the first only has a single channel memory interface, while the second has a dual channel interface. And this applies for all motherboards since the memory controller is on the CPU.

    wireless mouse/keyboard - which is best general use?

    Yup, the MX mice are currently the best. I've used both the MX700 and MX1000 mice, and like both of them. In terms of battery life, the MX700 was good, but I could run the battery out with about 20 hours worth of use (spread over a couple days, so there is also some downtime). The MX1000 has...

    Connecting system reset/power etc plugs.. and a hd Q

    For some reason I've never inquired about, USB ports like to come in twos, so there are actually two USB ports in each plug. The back panel ports are USB ports 1 through 4 (I assume there are 4 there at least, too lazy to find the manual again). The plug labeled usb56 has ports 5 and 6 on it...

    Powering a case fan without a computer?

    The radio shack wall warts have uni-something connectors on them, which means you can change out the tip to fit whatever device you have. And I've seen tips that end up with 2 tinned connectors for easy soldering. Very nice. Wall warts are the one item that Radio Shack carries that I think is...

    Torn Apart..On What Path To Upgrade Within A Month

    First off, SLI is only for nVidea cards (although ATI is working on their version of it), so it won't work with the X800 you're leaning twards. Also, my understanding is that nForce 4 boards capable of SLI will come out after the first wave of nForce 4 cards, so it'll probably be longer than...

    Connecting system reset/power etc plugs.. and a hd Q

    Power and reset doesn't matter, as long as you make sure you have the two correct pins, you can do it in either order. As long as you're not connecting one of the pins to something like an LED power pin, it'll work either way. The LED connectors are more sensitive, but if you get them wrong...

    Is all next generation hardware just hype?

    At the moment, they're kinda hype, but they're all very expandable and will eventually be better than the current tech. PCI-E 1x isn't all that much better than PCI, but its easy to make a 2x or 4x slot when you need more bandwidth and this allows for more bandwidth hungry peripherals. PCI-E...

    Oh, FYI, newegg seems to be having problems ATM with getting parts out. One of their warehouses got flooded and this has delayed some orders. Shouldn't make a huge difference, but allow an extra few days for shipping.
