I just got a Tai-Chi VB5000SNA case (made by Thermaltake). I bought it at a show. The box says that it supports Extended ATX and so does the manual. The problem is, now that I got it home, I look on the manufacturer's website and it says in the FAQ that it does NOT support extended ATX (but they...

problem with powerstrip by orsobubu
I cannot separately set horizontal and vertical fequencies in Powerstrip, it seems they're locked up: ie, if I set horizontal at 85 Khz, also the vertical frequency updates to 85 Khz as well, while usenet is plenty of guys switching to any fequency they want all day long

Why do I get 4-wire fans? by Dave (from the UK)
I have asked this before, but still have not resolved the issue. I am looking to get a couple of 92 mm 4-wire case fans. By 4-wire, I mean they should have a "Sence" wire which is the fan tachometer output with two pulses per revolution and a "Control" signal wire to control the speed (Pulse...

troublehsooting defective DC jack, Inspiron 4150 by teamgs
Greetings, Before finding a used mobo ($900 new from Dell!!!), I thought I might try repairing the issue myself. I am fairly handy with a multitester, and soldering iron (though not so much so with PCB's). The unit in question apparently was damaged when the family dog chewed through the AC...

About that artic silver stuff... by [email protected]
I was reading about various high performance thermal pastes and I started to wonder what AMD and Intel use to make the thermal connection between their CPU cores and their metal heat spreaders the cpu's all come with now. Seems like I've never seen any explanation of how they do it in any of the...

USB pins - how do I know if it's X or Y? by Saruman
Hi all. I'm putting a syetm together for a friend. It's now time to plug the front USB header into the mobo, and I've hit a snag. The motherboard has pins called Dy-, Dx-, Dy+ and Dx+, but the cable only has D- and D+. How do I know if I should connect to a Dy or Dx pin?

Running power supply with just fans by [email protected]
Would it be safe to run a 500W power supply with the only load being 4 12V fans (and a few LED lights) or would this not be sufficient load to operate safely? If not, about how much load should I put on it?

PSX Controller on PC by Ricky Romaya
I've heard that PSX (Playstation) controller could be modified to work on PC, connected to the parallel port. What I want to ask is whether those modified controllers could be used as joystick/joypad substitute (i.e. could be used on PC games which supports 'normal' PC joysticks/joypad). TIA

Hard Drive Size Limitations? by Steve Wade
Hi Guys, Is there any way of determining the maximum size of HDD I can use on my PC? Is it determined by the mainboard, the bios or the OS? Finally, if the size if a HDD exceeds the maximum, can I work around it by having partitions equal to that limit? Best regards,

Alt+Tab and Ctrl+Alt+Del Problem! by xubomber
It's definitely something with the keyboard then, if it only happens with that one keyboard and is fixed by switching it out. I can't think of how releasing a broken alt key would standby the computer though... Also, try seeing if it happens no matter which alt key you use, or if it's just the alt...
