LOL false advertising by SharkD
I just bought specifically a 1GB SD card for $9.99 from Walgreens because my old PDA can't read anything over 1GB. Turns out the disk is 2GB! This, despite the big "1GB" on the disk label. Wasted $9.99. -Mike

I bought one of those Disney preloaded SD cards cheap, thinking I could just blank it and use it for storage. However, I can't get the damned thing formatted. There's a single file called HSM.smv.

EPIC Fail computer! by Animenia[_21_]
Hi. Alright, nevermind the lights. When you start the system the fans go on? Do they stay on or do they shutdown after a little while? What about the monitor led? Does it stay green or go orange/yellow? Got any image at all? Any error messages displayed if they do? / Ani
