Dear H|Forum Members, I am in the market to upgrade the Optical drive on my Toshiba Tecra M3 to a DVD Burner, however it appears that those thieves over at Toshiba have put a lock in the BIOS that causes the Optical drive not to be recognized if it's anything other than Master (like Cable...

Gentlemen, I just wanted to share with you that after careful comparisons and evaluations I have finally purchased a notebook HDD for my USB 2.0 External enclosure. I needed a decent hard drive for it for several reasons, and I was tired of bidding on 12Giggers on eBay that went for over 30...

Gentlemen, I finally got my hands on this beautiful piece of CPU Cooling Art. Although I agree that it came with nice instructions and great pictures, I must say that the folks over at Thermaltake have neglected a rather fundamental aspect in their directions: bolt torquing tips. I have read a...

Good Morning Gentlemen. I'll make the story as short as possible. A friend of mine recently gave me a spare Satellite 1605CDS with dead HDD he had laying around. The very next day the puppy had his old 6Gb replaced with an almost new 15Gb and the 64Mb of RAM upgraded to the maximum allowed...

Gentlemen, as some of you may remember, a few months ago I "upgraded" my Northwood to a Prescott. To make it simple, I originally had a Northwood 2.8GHz 800FSB HT. My brother needed a PC for college, so I made him buy a Prescott 2.8GHz 800FSB HT and "upgraded" the Northwood on my Rig with his...

Gentlemen, I am shopping for a set of rechargeable batteries for my brother's HP Photosmart 735 Digital Camera. Believe it or not the manual doesn't specify what kind of batteries the camera takes, so I called HP and I was told to get two NiMh AA batteries with 1.2v and 1600mAh. I keep on...

Gentlemen, I've got my hands on an HP Pavilion ZT1150 Laptop. The unit is in good shape, works great except for a small detail: the backlight on the screen is not working, all you see is shades on the dark LCD screen. I've taken the unit apart, cleanly removed the LCD screen and put it back...
