Can anyone point me to sources for a Dimension 8100 power supply? My system's supply burned out and I can see that it's not a standard ATX unit. :-( http://www.pcpowercooling.com has a compatible unit, but it's $100, which is a lot to spend fixing a 3.5 year old system, especially for just a PS...

Hello: I manage a PowerEdge 1400 server for a client, but don't have physical access to the machine. They report that it's making a whining noise - sounds like one of the fans is going. I'd like to bring a full set of replacement fans the next time I visit them, but can't find documentation as...

I was about to order a video/photo editing monster. A Precision T7500 (with minimal memory (crucial), disks (Newegg, and old drives), video card (probably old cards from dead machine...). But I wanted to be sure that the empty hard drive sockets would have their caddies in place (after getting...

For years I had great luck with Seagate drives. But a couple of years ago I had a nine month old 1tb barracuda die on me, and found to my surprise that the drive advertised by newegg as having a five year warranty from seagate was not guaranteed beyond newegg's 30 days. What are considered...

I am a bit confused by the documentation for my new T7500. From: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/wsT7500/en/sm/a_mem.htm#configs ====beg quote==== Dual CPU configurations (6 DIMM slots on MB plus 6 DIMM slots on Riser)

The thread I started a couple of weeks ago with the subject: "Unbelievable! One needs to buy a Dell Hard Drive to get Caddy" was erroneous. I got the machine yesterday, and took a very quick look inside and it had all four blue caddies. I did not get a chance to turn it on until today, and I...

Is there anything good that might work to carefully check out my DIMMS? A good memtest floppy will not run on this machine (it runs fine on many other ones). Thanks, -- Andrew Hall

I got the above card in my new Dell. I am having trouble with a service the driver uses taking up CPU time (about half of a core) even when no sound is being played. I can turn off the service, but the sound quality goes down a bit (at least to my ear). Dell has no drivers for this card and OS...

I just installed a card reader that also has an eSata port. I plugged the device's Sata cable to Sata slot 2 on my mother board. I then enabled Sata port 2 in the bios. It works fine as long as the eSata drive is connected and powered on at boot time. If not I get a bios warning about a missing...

Retail Win 7 discs contain both the 64 and 32 bit versions. Would that be true with Dell Win 7 media too? (I ordered my wife a machine with Win 7 and an XP downgrade installed, it comes with Win 7 media. I want to order my son a machine with 64 bit Win 7, but they do not seem to offer that with...

i would like to re do my hard drive back to orginal spec. how do i go about doing this?

I just put one of these machines on my home network. It will not back up my main machine. The machine has three physical disks. One is partitioned into three drives. These get backed up. The physical disk is 250g, and the total data there is about 120g. The other two disks do not get backed...

My old 8100 suddenly developed horrible visuals. We have it in the family room for quick web searches and email. So I think it worth replacing the card. It currently has an ATI Mobility 7500. The prices I have found to replace it are about %50, which seems steep. Is there a better source that...

I need a 16+ port gigabit switch. Looking at Newegg I got confused. Some seem to have a mix of 10/100 ports and 1000 ports. Others talk about SFP and XFP... What is a good brand/model/price? It is just a switch, my router will go into it, and all the computers in the house will be connected to...

I have Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic (D) in my XPS 600. I have the latest Dell published drivers. Can I use the drivers posted on the Creative site? This works with video cards, but I do not know about audio cards. --

One of my XP machines does not recognize my password. I have the only administrator ID on the machine. How can I get into the machine and reset my account password? Thanks in advance,

I am considering upgrading my Precision T7500 CPUs. I currently have dual quad core Xeon E5620. Looking at New Egg, the 5600 series has two different descriptions "Westmere" and "Westmere-EP". A quick google search on the difference did not explain it to me. Would either work in my machine? ...
