Yeap. You don't know how cheap people can get these days. LOL!!! I've seen things as small as a cap being rip off. Also, just because it isn't open, doesn't mean it isn't open. Why do you think they sell shrink wrap for????? LOL!!!!! One time, I was in line to return a cdrom and the guy...

This is something I never understood. Why create a new user account that wiill have Administrator's privileges when you should just be able to log in with the Administrator account? I understand it's one more road block for hackers to figure out the new administrator account name, but why...

I don't understand why new m/b coming out today are still populate with USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 are backward compatible? Why not just put USB 3.0 everywhere on the m/b instead of having a mix of 2.0 and 3.0 ports? The only reason why I'm guessing they still put USB 2.0 is because the USB 3.0...

Thanks! Reading up on Tomato and DD-WRT now.

Anyone know of any wired/wireless router that has a WOL feature? What I want to be able to do is turn off all my computers. When I need access to it, I log into the router and tell it to wake up computer X and log into it via RDP. When done, I power off the computer or it shuts...

Thanks! Searching for mini molex returns so much results, but after a few more researching, I found it. It's a EH Connector http://www.jst-mfg.com/product/pdf/eng/eEH.pdf

The white connector on the top. I searched google images and it's not the mico JST, nano JST, or PH connector. Went to Fry's and they didn't have it either. I was trying to build my own cables and need the connector that connects to the one on this picoPSU. Thanks!

Anyone know what the 2-pin connector that is right next to the white wire used for? I don't have a volt meter so I can't measure the voltage and amp coming off from each pin.

The motherboard has the 2x2 for P4-12V, but the PSU does not. I'm trying to see if I can avoid buying a 2x2 to a 4-pin molex for the P4-12V connector on the motherboard.

I'm building a new system using the Intel D525 Atom processor and was wondering how do you determine if you need the ATX12V P4 connector connected or not? The motherboard, Intel D525MW, has the 4-pin connector, but not sure if the Atom processor really needs the extra 4-pin for power since it...

I was also looking at the M350, but decided against it because of the following reasons: 1. 2.5" HDD cost more then 3.5" HDD 2. The ITX motherboard I was getting is passive cooling and has a big heat sink. Therefore, it will only allow for one 2.5" HDD. Whether I can install a 3.5" HDD by...

I am planning to purchase a picoPSU DC-DC like this one: http://www.mini-box.com/picoPSU-80 which is rated at 80W with a 12V input. Q1. Is it safe to connect a 12V 5A(60W) AC-DC power brick to this even though the DC-DC is HIGHER? Q2. Is it safe to connect a 12V 8.5A(102W) AC-DC power...

If the ITX motherboard is equipped w/ an ION graphics, how much wattage does that alone draw and what's the PSU capacity I need to jump to now w/ an ION graphic chipset? Thanks!

I'm trying to determine the maximum wattage I need on a PSU for the following hardware: Gigabyte GA-D525TUD or an ASRock A330ION 1 x 2.5" Seagate Momentus 5400RPM 1 x 3.5" WD Green 2TB 5400RPM 1 x Wireless N USB Adapter 1 x USB 2.5" HDD I check some of the PSU calculators and they say...

I can see it now...tons of cars running red light and skipping through tolls w/ no FasTrak. Let's say you drive a black Honda Accord sedan (very common car). All you need to do is hack the license plate and punch in the license plate of another black Honda Accord sedan. Now, you look like the...

Hi, I just installed Windows 7 RTM 64bit twice and notice something weird. Hard Drive Order: (I have them setup in port order; port 0, port 1, port 2, etc....) HD: 5 HD - port 0 is WD Raptor 150gb(primary part); rest are all 500GB and all identical in firmware and all setup for primary...

How do you check what version of Adobe Flash you're running? I don't see a Flash folder under Program Files or Program Files (x86) I'm running Vista 64bit Thanks!

Darn....guess Solitaire and Minesweeper will teach me to become a killer someday. Solitaire shows me how to throw cards at people at high speed and cut them into pieces like in Kung-Fu movies. Minesweeper shows me how to plant mines in the field to maximize they chances of stepping on one...

From my past experience, you can't change from IDE to RAID in the BIOS w/out reinstalling the OS from scratch. I have the same problem as you. 1. BIOS: SATA set to IDE 2. Install Vista and all hotfixes 3. Install all device drivers 4. BIOS: SATA set to RAID 5. Reboot to Vista 6. Blue...

Thanks! Given the info, I'm going to try 512 bytes(not kbytes) and try to find some sort of disk benchmarking program and compare that to 4K. I have to stick to FAT32 primary because I swap in and out of Linux and Windows and my file sizes are sometime over 4GB.

Hi, I did a searched and couldn't find any info in the internet or this forum. Here's my question. What's the best file allocation unit size for a USB flash drive? My Sandisk USB Cruzer USB flash drive is 16GB. Vista 64bit defaults its allocation unit to 8K. I understand the bigger...

Hi, I just picked up myself my new Samsung 2443BWX from Costco ($279) :D and after opening it up, I notice there were no protective plastic film covering the LCD screen like they do for laptops and my other LCD screen I purchase a while back ago. I'm pretty sure it's brand new since there is...

Hi, I have two identical hard drives with same manufacturing date, WD5001ABYS. but there are two different motherboards; one on Intel D975BX2 and the other on Asus Rampage Formula. Intel MB is running XP 32bit and Rampage is running on Vista 32bit After initializing and formatting the...

Thanks! I guess I'll stick with Basic as that seems the safest way to go.

Hi, I did a search and read a about five articles on this subject and I believe I understand most of it. My question, which I did not find an answer to, is this. I'm using the ICH7R(D975BX2 motherboard) and ICH9R(Rampage Formula motherboard) for RAID1(two 500gb HD) and from what I read...

Thanks! I don't think it's the power supply either and sound seems to be coming from the MB. I have the same PS for my Intel D975BX2 and it doesn't make the sound. Weird part is last night when I shutdown, I didn't hear the noise. I'm going to see if I can isolate where the noise is coming...

Hi, Does anyone notice a somewhat squeling noise as the power turns completely off during a shutdown using this motherboard? Is this normal for this MB? My Intel 975BX2 doesn't have this noise upon shutdown. It's like it's taking its last breath of air before it dies out. Power supply...

They are in different cases and all are mounted horizontally. I'll do a surface scan just to make sure there are no bad sectors. Thanks!

Hi, Computer 1: Intel D975BX2 - using 2 WD5001ABYS SATA hard drive in non-raid mode Computer 2: Asus Rampage - using 2 WD5001ABYS SATA hard drive in Raid1 mode When transferring data from Comp#1 to Compu#2 via ethernet, I can hear the hard drives in #1 pretty loud. Well, loud compare to...

Hi, I've checked Intel website and couldn't locate the chipset INF package for the x48 chipset. All I could find was the x38 chipset package and I used that for the time being. However, in the Device Manager under "System devices" it displays X38. I understand it's only a cosmetic issues and...

Thanks everyone! I'll play around w/ APC wizard and see which one matches my need best.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone have any recommendation on a UPS. It doesn't seem like there are any reviews for these things. I need something good for my PC that is in my signature and willing to spend up to $500 if the features and price justify the cost. Thanks in advance!

I'm a little confuse by this statement. On a clean install system of Vista, we should get all the hotfixes first and then apply SP1? Isn't it the other way around? I usually do a 1. clean install 2. install SP1 3. Use Microsoft Updates and get all the hot fixes 4. Install drivers...

Hi, I've been looking for some reviews and couldn't find any reviews on these 5x3 or 4x3 enclosures. I want to add one or two of these to allow me add more storage space to my system and the ability to hotswap out drives that are and are not in RAID configurations. 1. Would the OS be able...

You'll be crazy to hack a pacemakers. If I was ever on a jury for a case like this because someone wanted to see what they can do to others with a pacemakers, you pretty much know what my verdict is. Wouldn't even need a break to deliberate. And my advice to the defendant, I hope you...

Hi, Does anyone have a release date on Asus Rampage Formula release date and when retailers will get a hold of them? I was going to buy the Maximus Formula today. I went to both Microcenter and Central Computers today and both were out of stock. I figure it'a probably because the stores are...

Same here. I just picked up my Q6600 today at Microcenter and made sure I got the SLACR version of the CPU.

Hi, I plan on picking up this MB today along with the Q6600 at Microcenter and before I do, I just wanted to know what's the latest revision for the MB is. Could someone please tell me what's the latest revision and if this information is posted on the outside of the box? I already know...

Yeah, I'll like to know too! Most of the time, when I do a fresh install of XP, it asked me to enter a username other than Administrator. If I enter "Administrator", it won't let me. But once in a blue moon, it won't ask me and once XP is installed, there's no other account other than...
