Power question

Thanks for everyone's input. I think I'll go with something around 500W to give me some breathing room down the road.

This will be my first real system build in quite some time so I wanted to get some feedback. I haven't picked out a case or power supply yet because I'm really not sure what my best options are. I was thinking about doing used on both to help keep costs down but if I can get new for just as much...

Conference room setup question

Well, we already have a ~3 year old projector now but we should be able to get a better unit. I'll run that by my boss. What about audio and PC options anyone?

Windows 2003 Server backup question

That patch is included in Service Pack 1 so I installed that and rebooted. I had to rebuild the backup a couple of times to get it working. Also had to make sure that it was writing to a log file as well under the Backup utility settings which I forgot to check initially.

Windows 2003 Server backup question

If I run it immediately, it works. Only the scheduled ones fail so I don't think it's a problem with accessing the drive. I've been in contact with IBM to get the Windows fix but the one that they had me download didn't work so they're going to get back to me when they've figured out the problem.

WinMX bandwidth question

I tried adjusting the speeds under the "Bandwidth Throttle" section to increase the speeds at which I could upload to other users but I always seem to top out at around 14k. I know I can do better than that since I'm on a cable modem and I don't generally tax the connection much. Any suggestions?

Total system startup issue

I tried your suggestions. It won't come on at all. No POST, no fan movement, doesn't try to power on. I ordered another mobo (Abit KD7) and still the same. Standby LED comes on on the motherboard but nothing else. The only thing I can figure is that maybe the power switch on the case is faulty?

Argh! (AMD XPP story)

It's a complete Falcon Northwest gaming system. tower, monitor, speakers, the works. Estimated retail value of $2600 I think. The thing that got me is I've seen posts from others at previous events and they were giving away tickets well beyond the 6:10 "cutoff". Rather frustrating.
