CPU burnt or alive ? by

Hi,
Today, when I switched on my computer, it did an explosion noise and let
out a (charming) little blue cloud from the PSU. With the corresponding
acrid smell.
Clearly, a capacitor had exploded inside the PSU. (I opened it to confirm
it. It *was* a small capacitor, but now it was all over the...

Dk975
Got a USB 2.0 flash drive and tested it on the ports on the case.
Copied 194 MB to drive in 44 sec, that's 4.4 MB/s, clearly greater than
1 MB/s.

I have an old mainboard MS6117, without the manual to go with it.
On the mainboard itself is not written where I can connect which
connectors (PC Speaker, Reset, ATX Power etc.)

manufacurers should stop spreading such rumors.

Do you love or hate Antec Sonata? by

Is it really quiet like the manufacturer claims to be?
What's your experience with the case?
BTW, which model do you have among the three at their

IS7 or IC7-G by
Bebert
Hi,
I'm having a hard time choosing between these two mobos.
Both are from ABIT, are good overclockers... the cheaper IS7 doesn't
come with all the cables, IC7-G comes with every cable you need (even
with a IDE - SATA adapter).
One is Springdale, other one is Canterwood.
