What kind of power supply would I need for this system?

I have had a Thermaltake 480 Silentpurepower and an OCZ 520 watt (see my sig). The Thermaltake is LOUD. I would stay away if that's a factor. I have nothing but praise for my OCZ, however. My vote would be to spend a little extra and get an OCZ.

19in 16ms LCD $296 Shipped AR

Another attribute of LCDs (or anything for that matter) that I haven't seen mentioned here yet is warranty period and ease of RMA. If you check out Sony's, Samsung's, Princeton's, etc. warranties and their websites for ease of online RMA, I think you'll find it sometimes pays to spend a little...

Disable AMD 64 Quite and Cool

You can disable it in the BIOS (I forget exactly the menu choice - "Cell" something) or simply change your power savings settings to anything other than "Minimal Power Management", once you're in Windows. But you're probably only seeing 900mhz when your CPU isn't busy. When you start a...

XP-90. Yikes.

You can use a fan controller with the Vantec Tornado, as I do. I went from 66C using stock HSF/thermal pad down to 57C heavy load when I went with the cooling in my sig, with the Tornado full blast & extremely loud. But the controller is nice for when I'm not doing heavy stuff, it'll take...

Hard drive issues

http://www.freewebs.com/hdat2/ There's a free program called HDAT2HW.EXE, run it in DOS (boot with floppy).

This is NOT the same ol' BIOS/OS limit issue

OK I know this is an old thread, but I solved my problem & think I should put what I did here just in case it might help someone. I found a program here: http://www.freewebs.com/hdat2/ and it worked! I reset my 160 gb hd back to 160 from 33gb. I'm not sure what I did to it, but...

BTW it was a diiferent mb & BIOS, not sure which. But it also had an 80gb hd, fully recognized. Could a boot sector virus do this kind of thing? Or is it just trashed?

That was one of the things I did, Lee - I got the same issue. The BIOS only saw 33.8gb.

This is NOT the same ol' BIOS/OS limit issue

Thanks Redbeard - I've tried the low-level format, to no avail. I also ran every diagnostic Powermax has and every test is successful. The SMART status, reported by Speedfan (and a couple of other disk-monitoring progs) all say 100% integrity & 100% performance....It's as if the CLJ was...

I'm going to give the forum a shot, although I have a feeling my HD is shot. It's a Maxtor Model 6Y160P0, 160gb, 7200 rpm/8mb cache - and out of warranty. Now before I start, let me explain that I know about/tried: the various BIOS/XP limitations, capacity limiting jumper settings, drive...

Cooling fan installation

I'd go 2 intake from the front, and 2 exhaust out the back. But get more opinions - I'm an admitted noobie. Also, someone posted this link here somewhere - I think it's appropriate to re-post it for you: http://www.short-media.com/review.php?r=230

XP-90 WILL Fit the Neo2 939 MB

HEY! I just read some more & that's a great review site - Thanks!! I ordered the XP-90 without seeing that. Fortunately it looks like I made a decent (yet uninformed) choice.

Thanks for that link. I saw pics of it, just not in the mb. Problem is, I am an uber-newb ;) and cannot tell such things by merely looking at them as you can (maybe someday).

XP-90 WILL Fit the Neo2 939 MB

I've been unsuccessful in finding a pic of it sitting in the board (specifically the MS-7025) - could you point me to a link, if you have one? Thanks.

XP-90 WILL Fit the Neo2 939 MB

In case anyone else was unsure, as was I... I didn't want to trust the Thermalright website, which simply says they haven't found a 939 mb it did not fit - if I'm going to drop $40-$45 on a HS, I want to be sure. I explicitly asked if it would fit the MS-7025, and received this reply (quickly...
