Is 16x DVD ROM decent for base system? They sell them here and I have a chance to get them with a rebate and end up paying 9.99. Can you read regular CDs with a DVD-ROM drive? Thanks. Actually, the only deal close to the one in salescircular.com was a CD-ROM for 9.99 (which beats new egg 20.99,...

New mATX toolles case by rAD
Just noticed this new mATX Evercase at Newegg. It's built like their regular ATX cases....toolless. Looks a little better tho. http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=&submit=Go&description=E3275 It has pretty good cooling. Would go nice with an nForce2 board and LCD display.

I currently own an Athlon-based Soyo board I'm happy with and in the past I've been an A-bit fan (not in a while though) and have never owned an MSI board. Based on the recent Tom's Hardware round-up I was thinking of getting and MSI 865PE. I believe all I need is the NEO2 LS version. I only...

Hi all: I'm upgrading the motherboard in my Compaq Presario computer and I've run into a slight problem. The Compaq uses some sort of proprietary large "block" connector to attach the front panel pieces - power led, disk drive led and on/off switch - to the motherboard. Naturally, the connecting...

Sleeve bearing fans by Adrian
Do sleeve bearing fans have that much of a shorter life compared to ball bearing fans? I'm referring to case fans. I like the low dBa's of the Papst fans, but I found out they are sleeve bearing, which I believe doesn't last as long as single or double ball bearing equivalents. ~ Adrian...

Do Older Power Supplies Support Modern CPUs? by jim evans
I am thinking upgrading an AMD based box. I can't remember the CPU model name but it's based on the AMD equivalent of a Pentium II and runs on 450MHz. I have read things that suggest modern CPUs/motherboards require a better quality power supply. My question is, can I use the existing power...

SATA and Windows XP Installation by Firejack
Hi. I recently bought myself a brand spanking new Maxtor SATA HDD. I put it into my system and booted from the Win XP CD. Only to find Win XP didn't support my SATA controller. I rebooted and hit F6 and then I think it was "s" to load a driver for my SATA controller during setup. Only to find...

PS/2 & USB port failure by Peter Ives
It appears my shuttle MK35VN midi mobo has gone wrong, though I just want to check if there's anything else I can try. I bought it just 2 weeks ago and all was well, except that I couldn't attach the front USB ports from my original case onto the USB3 outlet on the board because the IDC connector...

200 watt psu's are enough? by Peter McVries
Was offered a shuttle machine recently which got me reading up on those. Seems most have just a 200 watt psu depite being relatively decent machines 2+ghz, 512mb Ram etc. I know video/sound/lan is usually integrated and there's only one DVD/CDRW drive but 200 watts seems *awful* low after reading...

Do you guys just search and search for different suppliers? by jm
Man this is hard work. I am looking here and there to beat shipping and other stuff. I find a little cheaper here and there, maybe a dollar or two, but it adds up. Do you folks just stick to one supplier or use something like http://www.pricewatch.com and look for the best deal?
