can Thermaltake Xaser III's temperature monitor be recalibrated, because its
a few degrees out, when
compared to the sensors on my motherboard (mobo=47 Thermaltake=50). I know

its PCB to calibrate the temperature reading...

Where to find a small AT case by
Anthony
Hello,
I'm looking for a small AT computer chassis. All that's going inside
is a baby AT motherboard (with onboard video), a PCI sound card, a
hard drive, and a power supply. If I could find a _really_ small
case, I might even switch to a USB sound card, if that would allow
everything else to...

buzzing loudly. It's a deep, loud sound. It is provoked when I have
the volume turned up loud...

I have one bad PCI slot in a Dell motherboard made or designed by Intel.
Several different cards that are known to be good fail to be detected
in that one slot.
Is there some component that's easy to test and replace---maybe a
capacitor---whose...

New hard drive woes! by

I just bought a new 40GB hard drive (Western Digital) installed it and
ran FDISK on it to set it up as one 20GB and two 10GB drives. After
FDISK had finished with no apparent errors, I found that I only had
two assigned drives C: (20GB) and D: (10GB). So I tried running FDISK

Asus A7V8X problems by
D
Could be power supply. Does the PS fan spin? Also, for around $13.00 you can
pickup an ATX PS tester. Also, if you are handy with a multimeter, you can
test the 12v, 5v, and 3.3v lines. I would definately eliminate the PS as the
source of your problem before moving on to the motherboard.
Hope...

exhaust fan question for newbie by

Only two parameters you are concerned about: CFM and
deciBells of sound. Those watts tell about as much as CFM
does not a CPU heatsink fan - nothing useful.

acoustic foam by
Rocketman
Is there anything special about the acoustic foam used in computer cases
for dampening noise? Can I use any sound proofing foam found in car
stereo supply stores or Home Depot?
I found some at my local CompUSA for $20 (I think 4 sheets: 2 17x15in
and 2 17x7in). Anyone tried them?
