I have an old Compaq 2.5Ghz computer which works fine, and I plugged a PCI radeon graphics card into it, and it won't post. The PCI slots otherwise work fine. The power just blinks and dies. Can anyone tell me what the problem might be?

I just bought a Dell Vostro 1000 and want to replace the screen with a WUXGA panel (like this one from eBay). My question is, should this process be close enough to this guide for the Vostro 1500 to figure out on my own? I've put together computers but otherwise have limited experience. Also...

I have the budget to choose the Core Duo 2.16ghz proc over the 2.0ghz one. Is there a recognizable difference between the two processors? The difference in cost is about $175. I will be using the notebook for about 4 years. Thanks in advance.

Remember you could always use a PCI card for tv-out.

I've tried turning my firewalls off and I still got the errors...hrmmm. Thanks for the link though.

Thanks for the response. Could it be that port 6881 is closed? When I test ports 6881-6889 in Azureus I get "NAT Errors." I need to watch 24 eps 1 and 2 before 8:00!

Hi. A few of my BT downloads were going at 110kb/s and now have suddenly dropped off to 3kb/s at the end (~95%). Is this normal or is there a remedy?

Which of these processors has the most value for my money? AMD Sempron 64 3100+ Palermo 800MHz FSB 256KB L2 Cache Socket 754 Processor - Retail AMD Athlon AMD Sempron 64 3100+ Palermo 800MHz FSB 256KB L2 Cache Socket 754 Processor - Retail AMD Athlon 64 2800+ ClawHammer 800MHz FSB 512KB...

Thanks. Are there any other benefits besides temp and upgradability?

I'm looking at an mATX system and I can save some money by getting a 3400+ newcaste over a 3000+ Venice. Is S939 worth it?

The Shins own. I'm trying to get my mom to buy a mini, heh.

What kind of performance can I expect out of an Athlon XP 2700+, 512MB ram, and a 6600GT AGP? Could I play, for instance, Tribes Vengeance or HL2 at 16x12/highest/noAA/noAF?

It takes one person with the right mind.

Make a GMC Neo Classic w/ normal front bezels and w/out the power/reset led's

Listening tests say Envy24 (av-710) > Audigy 2 :o

It sounds like a flippin dream

Probably not, but you could do equally little with either of them. Upgrade that Celeron to a Pentium 4 2.4B (northwood, 512kb l2) and it's wicked faster at $500.

You can have a pretty, petite PC for less. In my search for such a computer, I came across the Shuttle Zen at $260. Add 512MB ram ($60), a Celeron 1.8 ($60), and a CDRW/DVD drive ($50), and you have something with more power at $430, $70 less than the standard Mac mini. Shuttle Zen...

lol, yeah

They were that low? Bust! Well, we can take comfort in that Newegg carried it without all the cool acoustic stuff.

crap

Anyone know where I can find this case in white in the states?

Please post pics!

That should be worth checking out. But I love the way the Xerox XG71D looks :rolleyes:

http://www.2cpu.com/gallery/2005wfp (from BigDuallie in the aforementioned thread)

Can it be done? I know sometimes Dell's 173FP can go for said amount, but I need something :right: now.

Looks uber leet. Do you have any experiences or pics of that keyboard IRL?

I've searched DA a million times. Sure can't get a response from Apple. Could someone with a Cinema Display email or link it to me?

My 9500 Pro runs Far Cry very well at Very High settings @ 10x7 2x AA and 2x AF. Same goes for HL2. Definitely my best hardware purchase 2 years ago.

I'm searching desperately for the mountainous background seen here, introuduced on the new displays- http://images.apple.com/displays/images/indexcompdisplay06282004-02.jpg

I almost bought the NEC 2141 for $580 shipped from Dell (stacked coupons) but didn't. bigggest mistake of my life

That's like the most killerest thing ever. Sorry, I meant the mountain wallpaper that mac puts on their ACD page, seen here http://images.apple.com/displays/images/indexcompdisplay06282004.jpg

sdk: mousepad name and wallpaper request :)

Why would you want a smaller resoultion unless you're watching movies all the time? Isn't the 2001fp more suitable for web browsing/gaming?

Is the T221 suitable for web browsing? The text looks kind of small at such a high res on that 22" screen And WHERE can I get that Apple wallpaper?

You have to get lucky with the P95f+. I ordered one off newegg, and the text was very, very fuzzy - terrible. It also had a slightly noticeable defect on the left side, which I have heard comes with many Viewsonic CRT's - There is a .5" grey bar running vertically along the side. I sent that...

Whoa

I have this case: Antec SX-635BII http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-129-125&depa=0 I'd like to replace the 80mm fan in the back with a 92mm fan. How should I cut a grill in the case for ideal airflow, sound, etc?

Be a friend and get him the Athlon XP-M 2500+ Barton (has 512kb L2 cache and unlocked multi) and NF7-S. Best value system out there, and you can have a little fun seeing what you can OC out of it.

Two awesome hobbies rolled into one. Man, I'm inspired.
