My friend asked me to fix his old laptop if possible, or if it cost a lot I could just throw it away. The motherboard is shot (Apparently a common problem with these laptops), so he's not interested in paying for a new one. His birthday is coming up, so I'm parting the laptop out and the...

I am running PHPNUKE 7.8, and I can't get into the admin.php page. I can login fine as admin and access the website, but It seems my admin rights are gone! I can't access the forum admin panel and when I go to login to admin.php, I enter the username and password and it just clears the username...

I need a laptop for school (mostly just taking notes and surfing the web between classes) so it doesn't need to be super fast, just needs to be 1ghz+ and have at least 256mb of ram. Hard drive isn't a big deal, 20gb or larger would be nice but not a huge issue. I can go above $500, but...

I re-installed windows on my computer, but for some reason it makes me pick between which OS I want, when there is only 1 on the computer. When I select the top one, it boots into windows and is fine, but the second one just results in an "OS not found" error, because there isn't one. How can...

I am trying to hide my hard drives in the top of my case by mounting them in 5.25 bays. I have the 3.5->5.25 adapters, but can't find any extra drives rails. I need 2 sets, if someone has some from an old case or something that they would get rid of for next to nothing. I will pay shipping...

I saw a few articles on how to make LED meters that used the parallel port, but they only use 8 LED's. I want one that will use maybe twice that many. Does anyone know if this is possible, and how to make it? I have enough knowledge in soldering and electronics to put it together.

What are the dimensions of a 77 Bonniville Heatercore? I am building a custom wood desk and want to make sure I have enough room for my new WC system I will be building. Thanks!

OK - I basically destroyed my motherboard and video card with a watercooling accident (stupid mistake on my part, WATERCOOLING IS STILL SAFE IF YOU ARE CAREFUL! lol) So I am going to upgrade my motherboard/processor video card. My current motherboard/processor are already toast, but my CPU is...

I got a DVD burner for Christmas, but I have no DVD player (other than my computer of course) I am looking for something that will play DVD-R/RW's, and has some kind of screen on the front that shows the time and all. Not gonna be too picky, I just need a pretty basic DVD player to watch my...

I have had my 120gb drive for over a year now, and never had any problems with it until about a week ago. I got a computer (1.5ghz P4) from my grandparents and I decided to make a server out of it. I set it up in my room (already had my main rig running) and powered it on. I heard my main...

My friend has a cheap amp, and it blew a small cap (100uF, 16v). I have an old motherboard with a bunch of caps on it that I am using for parts, and it has a 100uF, 25v cap on it. Can I use the 25v cap in the amp safely? My soldering iron is heating up right now (going to try it either way...

I have a AMD 1800+ and my motherboard is an Epox 8K3A+. Before today, I had 256mb PC2100 which wouldn't overclock any more than 2 or 3mhz over stock speeds. So today I bought a stick of 512MB PC3200, and got the FSB up to 155mhz from 133. I can't go any higher or the computer will refuse to...

Hey guys, I am looking for a paintball gun (brother got one, and now I am hooked :p) I am looking for something nice (electronic if possible, but doesnt really matter) with a decent barrel. I have nothing right now, so I will need the gun, hopper, mask, tank, cleaning stuff, everything...

If you guys remember my old thread, my "older" setup was very ghetto, but worked great. Link to pic of old setup I just recently got older style DD GPU block for my loop. I was in the process of measuring tubing lengths and all, and i relized that the downward facing barbs werent going...

I just got my "Homemade" watercooling setup installed, and so far, so good - nothing has leaked, and everything seems to be working perfectly! I will get the first picture uploaded and hosted in a minute.

A long time ago, I decided I wanted to watercool my computer. I researched and read up on it, and just couldn't afford it - until I got creative I went to a local pet store and bought this pump for about $20. It is ALMOST silent, and pumps plenty of water for a single waterblock and...

Hey - I am setting up my first watercooling setup, and don't want to spend ~$20 or so or more on a pump relay kit, and am wondering if I can just build my own with parts from radioshack? I have no knowledge about relay's or how they work, so a walkthrough would be very helpful if building my...

I will be putting together my WC setup shortly, and am wondering what kind of coolant I should use (distilled water is a no-brainer) but want something to make the water blue and something to keep algea and shit from growing in it. What kind of additive should I be looking for?

Hey guys, I am trying to build a cheap watercooling setup for my soon to be Mobile 2500+, and can find a pump at a local pet store for about $20 and a heater core from Autozone for around the same price, tubing and fittings and clamps at the local hardware store, but need a waterblock. I am...

Hey - I am trying to get another year or so out of my computer (not hard core gamer) and am wondering whether I should get the 2500+ or the mobile 2500+. The regular is about $15 cheaper, but is the mobile version worth the extra money? I am trying to go as cheap as I can so I have more...

Hey - I have an Epox 8k3a+ motherboard with onboard AC-97 sound (which isnt very good) I just got some parts from a friend for free, including a Creative PCI 128 sound card. I decided to put it in to get correct sound from all 4 speakers, and it sounds great in music (no lag) but when I...

I had a stock AMD HSF on my video card for a while, but it wasn't on very securely so I took it off and put the stock back on... My friend recently got a Zalman HSF, and gave me his old one because I helped him install and gave him a few fan grills... So I decided to go ahead and throw that on...

Hey - I have been playing battlefield 1942 for a long time, recently got Vietnam and road to rome, the whole rest of the series as well I havent played them in a little while (a week or 2 maybe?) and now every single one of them has a red tint whenever I open the game, and it doesn't go away...

Hey guys, I just hooked up a spare 15inch monitor to run dual monitors just to try it, and I can't figure out how to do anything but duplicate of my main monitor... Is it even possible? Or do I need a PCI video card to run 2 different screens?

For those of you who remember my old black "server" - good, because I don't have the old pics anymore For those of you who don't remember or never saw it, it is a InWin case like this one. When I got it, it has several different colors of paint on it already, in various stages of coming off...

I have a VisionTek 9600XT video card, and the HSF on it is fairly small and very loud I want to replace it with something larger and have either no fan or a very very quiet fan on it. I was thinking of just modding a old socket 7 type HSF with mounting holes and putting that on there with a...
