Computer Sound Stuck On Mute At Start Up

Thank you for your interest in attempting to help me solve my problem. I found a couple of more things to try and none of them worked, but I thought of an idea last night to go into the windows task manager and attempt to end some processes and see if any of them were causing this problem and...

Computer Sound Stuck On Mute At Start Up

Need advice on choosing small case (that allows full size psu and gpu)

You didn't mention if your motherboard was Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX but from the picture it looks to me (in relation to your zalman cooler and your hard drive) that you have a Mini-ITX motherboard. If my assumption is correct have you looked into a company called Lian Li, they are one of the few...

Case Fan On / Off Switch Products

Hey Guys, Thanks again for all of your responses. Oddly enough, I have a Zalman Fanmate 2 (it came with a Zalman product that I owned) but unfortunately it does not allow you to turn the fan completely off. A while back I came across this Sunbeam product recommended by you both and I was...

Case Fan On / Off Switch Products

Thank you very much Red Squirrel for digging up that article for me. Super old article is right, is that a 3.5" floppy drive I see :eek:. :D I was considering trying to make something myself, but was hoping I would not have to, but this may be something I will try, because I do have most of...

Case Fan On / Off Switch Products

Hello Everyone, Basically I have a very cool running PC that I currently don't even have any case fans running with, but I would like the option of being able to have a case fan installed where I can turn the fan on and off (with a mounted switch on the back of my PC case) when I feel that it...

Using Advanced Format WD Caviar Green Hard Drive for Data Storage with Windows XP

Hey Guys, Thank you for the responses. That is what I figured that I would still have to run the alignment tool. It seems as though using the alignment tool is a better choice over using the 7-8 jumper method. I forgot to ask this question in my original post.... Does anyone by any chance...

Using Advanced Format WD Caviar Green Hard Drive for Data Storage with Windows XP

Hello Everyone, Yet again I have run into another, what seems to be complex problem. Now even with something as simple as setting up a hard drive for data storage, you need a masters degree in computer science. I am currently using Windows XP Pro and I have just purchased a WD Caviar Green...

iPod Classic OS Question

Thank you very much for your response Yeah I don't think any of the older firmwares were fullscreen, but I am not totally sure, I will do some searching just to be sure. Unfortunately I put the best battery I could find in the 5G and it still doesn't even come close to what the classic is...

iPod Classic OS Question

Hello Everyone, I currently have a 80gb iPod Classic which I have had for a while now and I have always disliked the new split screen OS that Apple released for it's Classic iPods. The screen is not that big to begin with so splitting it in half does not make sense to me. Also, I don't know...

WD Velociraptor Hard Drive Heatsink Question

It is weird that the heatsink actually has a WDSL002B product number, when I did a search on this number the only site that comes up is that site. What can I say some people like to get icy by loading their chains up with diamonds, I like getting icy by loading my chains up with IcePacks. Of...

WD Velociraptor Hard Drive Heatsink Question

Not sure how you knew this but you got me, my secret plan really is to drill a hole into the heatsink and run a chain through it, this way I can wear it around my neck to show everyone how cool my labtop hard drive looks in a heatsink, and more importantly how cool I am for owning one. Other...

WD Velociraptor Hard Drive Heatsink Question

Hey Guys, Thank you for all the replies, but I am looking for recommendations for a product that is identical to the WD IcePack heatsink. I like the design of the IcePack heatsinks, I like that they are made completely out of metal and that they leave the drive open, meaning that the hard...

CPU Cooler Recommendation and Hole Pattern Question

Hey Guys, Frostytech is where I found that 3RSystem recommendation, I got all excited that I found a cooler at that height with at least a 80mm fan only to find out that they don't even sell in the US. I actually considered some of the water cooled cpu coolers just based on how they are design...

CPU Cooler Recommendation and Hole Pattern Question

Hello Everyone, I am having a very tough time finding a cpu cooler for my Intel i3 2100T cpu with an 1155 socket. The maximum height I have to work with in my case (Thermaltake Element Q with the power supply removed) is 4" or 100mm and the maximum width and length is 3" x 3". It seems like...

PICOPSU Power Supply Question

Thank you two very much for verifying my assumptions and concerns about the PICOPSU this helps me greatly, this all makes perfect sense now. The low end GPU is only part of the build due to the fact that I have an older TV that only has s-video, component, and composite inputs. The low end...

PICOPSU Power Supply Question

Thank you for your response, Would you be able to inform me a little on why the PICOPSU 150-XT power supply is a 150W yet it is sold with adapters that provide numerous wattage ratings (80W, 90W, 102W, 120W, 150W, etc.) If I was to purchase a PICOPSU 150-XT with a 102W power adapter, does that...

Hooking up HTPC to TV

Thank you for your post No I understand what you are saying but my reason for going with the Intel i3-2100T is due to its low power consumption and heat production. Also as I mentioned, my plan for the future will be to get an lcd tv, but right now I just do not desire to get one. With this...
