    zotac video card warranty page

    Apologies if this is the wrong forum. I ordered a ZOTAC ZT-X26E3KD-FCP GeForce GTX 26 from newegg. I have to register at zotac.com within 30 days to get my 2 years warranty, but their warranty page says to "select your region", but they list no regions. I checked in multiple browsers to...

    NewEgg RMA procedure. Please explain.

    I bought a NEC DVD writer from NewEgg which I want to refund. After I submit the RMA refund form, what happens? Am I presented with an RMA number to print, cut out, and paste to the shipping box? Do they email me RMA instructions? Do they postal mail me an RMA sticker to affix to my...

    HD enclosures: 3.5 (no fan, aluminum) vs. 5.25 (with fan)

    I need to buy a hard drive enclosure. Should I opt for a 3.5 no fan aluminum, or a 5.25 with a fan? I'm particularly concerned with fan noise coming from a 5.25. The device'll be about 4 feet away from me.

    Looking for LCD suggestions

    Movie quality playback is great. Like someone else said, if you plan to use this for gaming, then it's best you steer clear. I've read other forums regarding the 1704FPV and "some" users reported slight ghosting during gaming.

    Looking for LCD suggestions

    I have a 17 inch Dell 1704FPV. I think it's great. I think a 19 inch LCD is overkill unless you're a gamer or movie watcher. Don't ever get a LCD which doesn't support DVI. I bought my Dell a month ago and hooked it up via analog because my new DVI video card hadn't arrived yet. The text was...

    RE: Paper CD/DVD sleeves... What is the "throat"?

    I was looking to buy some CD sleeves and started browsing some ebay auctions. I came across this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em&category=41799&item=5186517542&rd=1 where it mentions a "a 7/16" throat (the space in between the top of the flap and the back opening)" What is the...

    Where can I get a 5.25 inch floppy drive?

    Where can I get a 5.25 inch floppy drive?

    I found 4-5 on ebay but there's no way to tell if they're compatible. They're all vintage. Does anyone know of any service where you can ship your 5.25 floppies and have the data put on a CD?

    Where can I get a 5.25 inch floppy drive?

    I'm having trouble finding a 5.25 inch floppy drive. I have a new PC so I need to be able to actually connect it. I can't find one online that I can confirm is actually compatible. I need to read about a dozen 5.25 inch floppies.

    Recommend digital postage scale. Capacity of 50-80 pounds?

    Rarely, but it's better to have it and not need it often, than to need it and be limited with a less capable scale.

    Recommend digital postage scale. Capacity of 50-80 pounds?

    It's really just a matter of convenience. I can measure the weight at home and print shipping labels. It eliminates guesswork and over/under estimations.

    Recommend digital postage scale. Capacity of 50-80 pounds?

    I considered buying either an UltraShip #50 or UltraShip #75 scale from ebay, but I'd like to hear some feedback here first. I need to ship some heavy items (70 pounds) and some light items (0.5-0.8 ounces) such as DVD's & CD's.

For instance, logitech's mice require their mouseware software/drivers which gives additional functionalty options for the middle mouse...

    Power off LCD: directly via power button or OS's Power Options function?

    My control panel "Power Options" setting is set to "Turn Off Monitor" after 30 minutes of PC inactivity (no keyboard/mouse movements). Is it better to turn the LCD off directly (ie, clicking the LCD's power off button) instead of letting Windows do it via the "Power Options" function? I have a...

    Install drives (optical & disks) on 100/66 or 133/100/66 IDE connectors?

    Ok, I'll put the DVD writer on the 100/66 IDE connector. That leaves two RAID IDE connectors. Should I put each hard drive on it's own connector (master & master), or place both drives on the same connector (master & slave), or does it not make a difference.

    Dell UltraSharp 1704FPV

    What's wrong with using an analog connection. I just got this monitor a few days a go hooked up via analog. Am I missing out on something by not using a video card with DVI output?

    How long does it take the CPU to cool down when PC off?

    I read it's best to remove the heatsink by twisting it clockwise & counter-clockwise instead of lifting if off the CPU.

    How much difference does TIM make vs. generic thermal grease?

    Let's assume the processor was an Intel 3.2Ghz. What's the highest you can overclock without having to replace the stock thermal pad with thermal grease? 3.4Ghz? 3.6Ghz? What's the safe zone?

    How long does it take the CPU to cool down when PC off?

    A related question: Let's assume I install the CPU and properly mount the heatsink, but the fan attached to the heatsink doesn't work for whatever reason. Could this cause the CPU to explode? I'm confused as to what primarily prevents the CPU from exceeding immediate, dangerous heat levels: the...

    How long does it take the CPU to cool down when PC off?

    I read somewhere on this forum, the CPU reaches high temperatures in 10 seconds and without a heatsink attached, could explode. After I power off the computer, how long do I have to wait for the processor to cool down before safely removing the heatsink from the CPU?
