Right, so I'm pricing out a new system to replace my aging socket 939 build, and Newegg has a smoking combo deal on this power supply. Normally I wouldn't go near an off brand PSU, but I see ABS has been rebranding some decent power supplies lately, and it is 80+ certified, if that counts for...

Well, I installed Ubuntu on a friend's computer just now, but I didn't realise Symantec GoBack was so terrible. To my dismay, I discovered that it does not work with any bootloader other than the WinXP one, and using GRUB caused it to bluescreen before windows could even begin booting. So, I...

I'm might get a HP J6700 workstation for free. It has dual 750mhz 64-bit processors, and probably around 6 gigs of RAM. It'll run Gentoo or Debian. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do with this rig?

Ok, my friend has a Sempron 64 2600+, and needs a fairly cheap motherboard that supports it. Full ATX and PCI-E are the only requirements.

Ok, I got my new system together, and the RAM LED and standby power LED both come on, but when I hit the power switch (or short the jumpers, or press the button on the motherboard) nothing happens. Any ideas?

Ok, I was going to get the X800GTO2, but it looks like that's not happening. What graphics card should I get for the computer in my sig? Price can be anywhere from $150 to maybe even $300, but that's streching it. Keep in mind that I might be able to unlock the NF4-Ultra to SLI, so I could...

Ok, I recently tried out a spring keyboard, and I can type a LOT faster, even though it was just a normal keyboard and not natural. Are there any keyboards still made with springs in them? If so, are there any natural (split) ones?

1. Does AMD care if I lap the processor? 2. If I lap the heatsink and not the processor, will it still be fairly effective? 3. Will bad things happen if stuff gets in the hole in the top of the IHS while I'm wetsanding?

Most places are out of stock of this wonderful card, where can I get it?

Ok, the AV-710 was the perfect sound card for me, but it doesn't have any 64-bit drivers that I can find. This is a problem, because I might get WinXP-x64. I have HD-497s, so I only need good sound on 2 channels. Any good cards with x64 drivers?

http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820231021 I'm going to be overclocking a 939 opteron, and I'm wondering how far this RAM will overclock. Should I be looking at any other 2 gig dual channel kits to OC?

I was looking at the 7800GT, but it seems that in some games, the X850XT performs about the same. Most importantly, getting an X800GTO2 would save me $200. Before I get a X800GTO2 though, I'd like to make sure it's really garunteed to flash to X850whatever. So, two questions: 1. Will the...

Ok, I'm in the market for a new case, and I was planning on getting a black chenming, but the chieftec matrix looks great. It's black, has a side window with 80mm hole, it's better looking than the other knockoffs, and it's only 50 bucks plus shipping. Is it heavy? What does [H] think of this case?

I am planning on getting 2 gigs of RAM, and an opteron 144 overclocked to 3.0ghz. Will the system be limited by a single 7800GT?

I've seen cases that can take two PSUs, but I was wondering: how does the second PSU get turned on, and what is it used for?

I need to know a few cheap PSUs that will power socket A systems with two harddrives, two opticals, a few fans, and a decent graphics card, but be able to power better systems, and not die.. I was looking at aspire PSUs, anything else I should look at?

I need a Sempron64 M-ATX motherboard that is fairly cheap (around 50 bucks if possible) for a friend. I got a PC CHIPS, but it doesn't recognise the processor and their tech support is being really retarded.

I've got a Sempron64 2600+, but it doesn't work in this cheap PC CHIPS motherboard. I need a cheap board that will run this. any ideas?

Ok, I think it would be a really cool project to build computers for people that live in my area, I've got the experience building them, and I think I could provide good value systems. If I do this, I plan on selling computers for around $1200 (cost of parts being $1100). I would use...

Ok, I've alwyas built AMD systems, but now my friend needs a motherboard that takes DDR for his 1.5ghz P4. It should be under $50 (before shipping), and it has to be Micro-ATX.
