HD Question

I want to install a second harddrive (as Slave) on a comp I just built. Do I have to reformat this drive? I used it as a second hard drive on my other computer and don't want to lose my files. I just want to make sure I can just plug it in my new computer. So, is it okay?

Need help! Big problem with PC

Might be a video card problem. Reseat your card and check it on another computer if you haven't already. I had a problem like that on my ECS k7s5a, got 8 beeps which equals a bad vid card.

Speakers Suggestion?

I'm looking for some good speakers to pair with a Fortissimo II sound card. I saw the Altec Lansing ACS54 for $60 including shipping over at newegg. Are these speakers pretty good, or are there better ones I can get around the same price range?
