    Yeah. The computer works great aside from that main power switch.

    5.25" drive bay Power Switches

    I bought a Cosmos S computer case. It looked like exactly what I needed, but when I got it I found out the control panel on the top wouldn't work. I contacted tech support, which informed me that they didn't stock the parts for the case, because it was too new. This was a new excuse for me...

    SecuROM Discussion (old)

    Typically, I would be disinclined to comment, as this has not affected me 'adversely'. HOWEVER, I have read numerous postings, thread after thread and FAQs about DRM causing issues on computers. I have been building and maintaining my own computers since I tossed out my 166MHz Cyrix beast...

    DEAD - Hot Sprint Cellphone plan - Employee Friends and Family deal (SERO)

    I ported one line, and I spoke with a rep over the phone for the porting. I placed the order for the phone online.

    Re installing MS xp

    Why don't you make a SlipStreamed XP SP2 disk? If you search for WindowsXP SP 2 Bootable in google you should get some handy, easy to use guides to perform this function. It's pretty simple if you can follow directions well. ;-) Good luck.

    DEAD - Hot Sprint Cellphone plan - Employee Friends and Family deal (SERO)

    I had my number ported w/o any problem. It did take about 48 hours for the phone to work well. Initially, when they ported my number, it seemed like the phone wasn't receiving the signal correctly. I haven't had any problems since. I was two months out of my contract, and I've been a...

    So bored with gaming these days, recommend me a new game

    You might be interested in Overlord. It's short, sweet, and I haven't laughed at a computer game before this one in I couldn't tell you how long. I will tell you I played the entire game through 2x, and it was short. Beat it the second time in ~10 hours. So if you're waiting for bioshock...

    Vista minor annoyances?

    Takes forever (read 'significantly longer than in XP') to alt+tab out of certain games. The computer runs horribly, horribly slow when I finally get out of a game and just using simple text applications or online email appears to be a real chore for the computer. I think I'm going to play...

    Friends and Family Footlocker, Champs and Footaction 3/30 4-1

    So you CAN use the coupon in the store, but because of the emailed list of ineligible items you probably won't be able to use it on what you want. HOWEVER, the code will work on just about everything on the website, because apparently the email didn't hit the web design team. LOL I just...

    Online Backup

    I'm taking some continuing education classes online, and I'm a poor college student. I was wondering if there was a recommendation you could give me for online backup of my school files? Perhaps something I could map a drive to? I would like it to be secure, reliable and relatively...

    Vista and new "Unpartitioned" drive?

    I just did a Vista installation a few days ago. I mirrored everything over to a second drive and divided my primary drive into two partitions. If you delete a partition* it will show up as an unformatted raw drive. I guess it wipes the file system when you delete it w/o formatting. Good...

    Hard Drive Issues

    Hah, I fixed a cable tech's laptop CD drive that way. That and hammering a screwdriver to bend it back into shape. He offered me a job. LOL Thanks for the tip.

    Word rendering document incorrectly...

    This might sound really crazy, but how are they viewing the document? Word documents I get in emails are in this ridiculous reading view (which doesn't do anything to help you read, but does quite a number on how the formatting looks) which is easy enough to correct. Usually if the file is...

    Newegg open box items?

    It's a gamble. Please, though, for the love of all that is good and decent on this planet, don't ever buy anything OB from a retail store. I remember my manager at one store telling me I didn't need to shut off and unplug the computers to move them, just slide them down the counter to make...

    Hard Drive Issues

    I have two identical SATA hard drives. About two months ago I woke up to an operating system not found message on what appeared to be a DOS Prompt (but was most likely a motherboard message.) When I hit reset, I heard the clicks of death. When I shut the computer off and restarted it...

    HTPC Recommendation

    I have a couple of computers networked together through an old router. I was thinking about upgrading to wireless and building a third PC to hook up to my projector in the theater room. The idea is to have one computer for the file server (it has two 500GB HDD's in it), one computer as a...

    500GB Seagate 7200.10 $124.99 shipped

    I have two of those WD WD5000AAKS drives. They are the most quiet hard drives I've ever owned. I run a water cooled rig which is extremely quiet and there is absolutely no whine or grinding sound from either of these drives. I pummel the crud out of my hardware, and I'm considering getting a...

    Vista Activation Question

    After I download all the updates, all the drivers, and get everything set up just the way I like; I run Norton Ghost. I never have to reactivate...well, that is until I install some new hardware and Windows screams "DANGER! DANGER BILL GATESERSON!" sorry...can't help myself sometimes.

    Hard drive clicking for no reason?

    Darn. I have only had the HDD for six months, and I've used WD products for years. First time I've ever had one fail on me like this. /sigh Guess it was bound to happen. Better now than when I get enrolled in school. What are the odds that this is just being caused by WindowsXP & Vista...

    Hard drive clicking for no reason?

    So I woke up this morning and discovered my computer restarted itself in the middle of the night. I didn't care so much that my computer restarted (even though I disabled that darn AutoUpdate), but I'm scared crazy that my primary drive temporarily stopped working. I had an error on my...

    Hi

    That's peculiar. The beeping would have something to do with the Motherboard. I had 2 of those drives (not set for RAID) not set for my P5B Deluxe mainboard and Vista went right into the computer, no problems at all. Was a real bear to go back to XP though, I will say that. Does the...

    FREE NEW MAP............... TOMTOM GPS owner only!!!!!!

    RBC: Looks to be a promotion that is activated based on the serial number of your TomTom. If you put in a serial number and it says it's 49.00, perhaps your particular model does not support the maps OR perhaps your model does not qualify for a free upgrade. Fritzo TomTom does regular...

    Heads up, Sam's has gotten in Wii's

    The only widespread problem people were having was with the controller. They would be violently whipping it around and if it slipped the strap could break causing the controller to fly through the air. My only thought about that was, "DANG, how hard are you whipping it around for a game? and...

    Windows Vista / P5B / WinXP

    I installed Vista Ulitmate on my new computer. E6600 P5B-Deluxe (no OC) 2x 500GB WD SATA HDD's and 2GB of Ballistix DDR2 - 800 memory, 1 DVD Burner and 1 DVD Reader drive, both IDE. It ran GREAT! But I had some very minor compatibility problems with some of my other hardware and older...

    Finally had a chance to check out Vista

    I put Vista on my new computer at home. Whee...I feel like I'm pioneering. It's a good feeling to work around issues that others can't, and experiment. Plus, I feel like I'm helping the computer comunity, since in the future, maybe some of the bug reports and feedback I'm giving will be used...

    C2D E6400 Running hot after install

    I'm using liquid cooling with AS5. Applied a very small amount and spread it over heatsink. I'm hitting 47C under 100% load. This can't possibly be right. I don't even want to think of what it would be like overclocked. Would you recommend removing the processor, removing all the thermal...

    What is the Best Gaming Controller??

    So I have my new rig's parts in the hands of FedEx. I am set to kick some tail. I need your help once again! I need a gaming controller (preferably one for my left hand) that will work very well for World of Warcraft. After I hit 70, I'd like to PVP a bit, but I'm having difficulty...

    Trouble with hard disks on Asus P5B-Deluxe

    Is there an option in the BIOS for power saving on the HDD's? I know my current mainboard has a drive power down option if I'm idle. Maybe if you disable this it will help. Otherwise, I'd have to spend some time on the Knowledge Base over at ASUS. I'm interested in this since I have one of...

    Thermaltake 750 Watt ATX Power Supply

    SATA Drive keeps dropping

    You lose the drive? As in when it boots to Windows the drive is not displayed sometimes? or When it boots it doesn't detect it in the BIOS? Also, what kind of mainboard are you using? Are we talking about your system in your sig? Maybe we can find some stuff for you on the...

    DEAD - Hot Sprint Cellphone plan - Employee Friends and Family deal (SERO)

    I have been with SprintPCS since 1999. My contract was up in October of this year (I had previously upgraded my phone every two years, thereby extending my contract.) I signed up for the SERO plan, but started a new account. I had to wait on hold for quite some time, but I could tell the...

    Clicking/Popping Power supply?

    What "other games" are you playing? Maybe they're less of a burden on the system, therefore consuming less power? That's a bizzarre one. Do you have a spare PSU sitting around you can slap in and see if it goes away? It might just be a coincidence. I would definitely consider buying a...
