So I was putting my computer back together and put on 3/4 thumbscrews securing the side panels to the case with no issues. With the final thumb screw I didn't feel any kind of issue until the end, where it would just keep spinning in place. I know I was using the right thumbscrew, as I have been...

I am having this really odd cold boot issue that has been happening to me recently. Essentially if I try to start up the computer from a completely off state I'll hear everything spin up and turn on for about 1-2 full seconds, then completely turn off--as if someone is behind the computer...

Up for sale is a bunch of random miscellaneous cooling hardware that is taking up space in my closet. All of it is gently used, in fantastic shape, and dirt cheap. Here we go: First thing up for sale is an 80mm Enermax Magma fan. This goes for about $15 shipped. I am looking for $9 shipped...

Up for sale is an Athlon 64 X2 5000 BE processor. I used this processor for about a year and it never gave me any problems. I ran it up to 3.0ghz for a little bit to see what it could overclock too, but I decided to just leave it at the stock 2.6 for the majority of its life. The processor works...

Quick question for you guys: I want to buy a Bulgin Vandal Switch for the power button on my Lian Li PC-7 Plus II but I want to know if any modifications are required to fit it in physically. I know that it'll fit the hole in the bezel just fine, but depth-wise will it clear without any...

Up for sale is a mint condition Antec Earthwatts 500w power supply. This power supply works great, holds solid voltage on all rails, and works quietly. I used it in my computer for about a year and then bought a Corsair unit because I wanted to play with something modular. The PSU goes for...

Up for sale is a Lian Li BS-02 Cooler that can be used with any Lian Li that has mesh in the side panel. This was meant for PC-60 Plus II and PC-7 Plus II cases, but will fit other Lian Lis that have the mesh opening in the side panel. The unit is in great condition and wasn't used that much...

Up for sale is a mint condition, hardly used Emu 0404 USB. It was used for approximately an hour and was then boxed right back up. It still has the protective plastic on top and has all of the cables, manuals, box, etc. This normally goes for 200, so you're getting 25% off of what is essentially...

Up for sale is a mint condition Lian Li PC-60/PC-7 Plus II side panel. I just upgraded to a windowed side panel and no longer have a need for this one. New it retails for 24.95 plus shipping. I am asking for $20 shipped. My heat is EPS Sniper and my eBay is aalvan. Please let me know if you have...

Up for sale are 2 stock Lian Li 120mm fans that came with my PC-7 case. They've been used in the case for about 3 months, but they were not in a machine that was used 24/7. They're in great physical condition and have little to no dust on them. I am asking for $12 shipped for both OBO...

Up for sale is a one month old MINT condition HT Omega Striker 7.1 soundcard with retail box, brand new optical audio cable, manuals, cd etc. I had this card in my computer for about a month and for one week of that I was out of the country. This is a terrific sounding card and it hasn't given...

Up for sale is a mint condition Audiotrak Prodigy 7.1 HIFI Soundcard with upgraded opamps. The soundcard was only used for an hour or so to sample it and was then boxed. Included with it is the manual, cd, original box, breakout cable, and upgraded opamps. I replaced 4 of the 5 opamps with...

I've been eyeing this card for a while and it's really caught my eye. The specs are great, it has native ASIO-output, swappable opamps, it's dirt cheap, and supposedly sounds amazing. My reservations about the card are that I don't know anyone that has one and I don't know how the drivers...

First of all, happy holidays! I know you all probably get a lot of messages on here regarding audio, but you always seem to be giving great advice and know what you're doing. Thanks to spaceman and a few other users I sold off my Z5500s and bought a pair of M-Audio's BX5a speakers for $150...

Up for sale is an Audigy 2 ZS PCI soundcard. The card is in great shape and features 5.1 output, digital out, and a 1394 connector. The card comes as is but you can download the latest drivers from Creative. This card still puts out great audio and would be nice in a smaller machine or an HTPC...

Up for sale is a set of Logitech Z-5500 5.1 channel computer speakers with subwoofer. This set is absolutely MINT and includes all the necessary speaker wires, receiver, remote, etc. This set up has regular speaker inputs, optical, and coax, so you can use this in a home theater set up if you...

I was putting in a new northbridge cooler on mobo (Thermalright HR-05/IFX on a Gigabyte GA69GM-S2H) and I accidentally chipped a tiny piece of the corner of the northbridge chip during the install. I have been running the computer with no problems now but am still scared about it all. I used...

Up for sale are 2 120mm Panaflo case fans made by Panasonic. These are the low speed models, which put out quite a bit of air at a decent volume. These normally sell for 14.99 each plus shipping on the internet. Included in the sale are the two fans and two 3 pin connectors that are sleeved...

Hey all, Everytime I seem to restart my computer, my wallpaper settings get lost. I just noticed that tonight, when I set my wallpaper to a different background (stored in the 'My Pictures' folder), I got this problem. In a nutshell, everytime I restart the computer, the desktop is a solid...

Hey, If anyone has an Athlon XP 3000+ for sale, let me know. I've got PayPal ready. Check my references through eBay. My screenname there is "aalvan" Thanks!

I'm having my Antec powdercoated (it's finally getting modded :p ) and need to take out the plexi from the side window. It's got these rivet-like screws holding it on and I was wondering how I could safely take out the window so that I can have this thing powdercoated and put back together...

I currently have my new 19" LCD (Viewsonic vx910-love it to death :) ) hooked up with the regular analog connection and had a question regarding DVDs. I've noticed that whenever watching DVDs in PowerDVD, there is always this "noise" in the picture, and what I mean by that is that the picture...

I've been trying to get PowerDVD 5.0 to output into 4.1, but I can't really get it to work. However, if I put it in 2 speaker mode, sound comes out of all 4 speakers. I've noticed that sound comes out of one channel in 4.1 mode, which is weird. What can I do to get it fixed? Also, with the CLMEI...

Sounds pretty simple. I have a piece of audio I want to record off of a DVD movie (through the DVD drive in the computer). What program should be able to do this?

Man, I goofed up again. I was trying to cut a simple rectangular notch out of my door panel with a nibbler and to my surprise it didn't cut as well as I thought it would. The cutting part of the nibbler is a slanted piece, rather than a square piece, so the cutout wasn't as clean as I expected...

I really want a professional paint job for my next case and I was considering having a body shop do some work on it. Do you guys have any recommendations as to how I would go about doing this? Any particular types of places that would be better suited for this type of project or any other way of...

Ok, here goes: I've had my burner, a liteon 52x24x52 (52246s), for quite some time now and it has this weird problem. I orginally had nero 5.5 on my computer and everything would burn perfectly. Then my friend gave me a copy of nero 6 (I know, shouldn't have done it) to put on my computer...

I want to upgrade the current 40gb 7200rpm (only 2mb cache) harddrive I have with something bigger and faster (I was thinking 80gigs and 8mb cache). However, I was wondering what would be the best way to transfer several large folders at once. The reason I am asking this is because my music...

I recently picked up a Coolermaster Grounded Cable for my two optical drives and have found it to be pretty damn nice. I really like the quality of it, and the grounding is a huge plus. I was curious as to a few things though. Has anyone benchmarked these things to see if they INCREASE...

http://www.blackholecables.com/poweronyxplus.html These were featured in Maximum PC and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with these power supply cables. Is there any advantage to having a heavier guage or purer copper cable? Enlighten me, please :)

I went out and bought myself a Coolermaster grounded cable for my burner and dvd drives and have come across a slight problem. The jackasses at Coolermaster thought that about 3 or 4 inches of grounding wire was plenty. However, since I have an Antec, Cheiftec, whatever, it uses drive rails...

Excuse the crazy title, but I've been really bored lately. Bored with my case that is. For those who don't know (pretty much everyone), I have an Antec SX1030b, small stock side window, etc, and I've pretty much gotten bored with my case. I mean, I love it to death because of the great...

All I really need is a simple cold cathode power cable. The kind that has a little 2 pin connector for the inverter and a molex y connector attached. Are there any places out there that sell them? -EPS

So here it is...my first attempt at sleeving. I made the mistake of thinking that heatshrink can fit over the connectors and shrink perfectly to the wires. Anyways, needless to say that I used a pin and got things done. Here are the fans: I also took the time to modify my CCFL...

I just got my lamps electronics cathodes from pctoyland and I am actually shocked that I have no idea as to how to hook it up. Here's what I'm talking about:

I've been considering this case for a little while now and I really love it. For those of you who don't know, its a PC6070B. I really am trying to get something new because everybody and their mothers has an antec/cheitec/cheming/thermaltake case. Don't get me wrong, I have never...

Like the title says, there are so many cold cathode kits out now, it's hard to tell which ones are cheap on decent quality and which ones suck. Where can one get a really high quality cold cathode kit?

Heres my question: If I am running an Athlon XP2800+ at a FSB of 333 (166*2), does this mean that my PC3200 has to run at that same speed, or can it run at 400mhz (200*2)? This is gonna be for a MSI K7N2-L (nForce 2). Thanks -EPS
