I have a cheap USB optical mouse which was plugged to my computer on the PS/2 port with a converter which was included in the box. I also have a puppy who got done with the converter, so I went and bought a couple of new ones. They do not work with my mouse. I tested the mouse (plugging it USB) and...

I hope this isn't too silly a question. I want to build a system in a box other than a standard computer case. I think I have everything figured out but what kind of switch to use for an on/off switch. Is it a standard switch, or something different? Thanks very much.

I've read the same garbage and I call bull**** on that entire statistic. Why? 1. Why did my old house have WAY MORE dust then my current house? PLASTER WALLS! Most of the "dust" in my old house was actually kicked up plaster. 2. Why, when I return to my cabin, is it FILLED WITH DUST even...

Does the standard video have a composite video out? I believe you need a special DB connector with an RCA jack on one end. If so, can you play DVDs on your computer and view them with an ordinary TV that has Line In? I assume you can connect the Line Out from the sound to the TV Line In with a...

We are trying to find a motherboard that will run multiple motherboards, we essentially want to stack garden variety motherboards in a tight rack, and run as many as we can off of one power supply. The motherboards have a IDE HDD, all-in-one motherboard and a stick of memory in them. Right now,...

The computer was working fine last night when I went to bed. When I got up this morning I used a can of air on the inside to clean it out. I waited about 10 minutes then powered up. Right past the bios screen I get this: SDRAM Dimm at 1 and then computer won't proceed any further. I bought new...

Is there a website that provides basic instructions on how to do a simple LCD monitor calibration? I'm not looking for some professional quality calibration. Just some basic tips on contrast, brightness, and some images (like grayscale bars) to help calibrate.

Hello all, I just picked up an old IBM clickety-clack 102 keyboard, a 139140. Only paid a buck for it but of course its missing its removable cord. Darn shame as it looks as though it was hardly used. I used these keyboards years ago and you just can't beat them for feel. Their multiple key press...
