where did you get the rack enclosure?

ditto on the cheap 2.4 phones. i used to just get a new cheap 2.4 phone when the battery went bad, but when i set up my wireless in here, it would interfere. now, the 5.8 phones are reasonably priced so i went to those. the jury is still out on my wireless headphones; but if i tune them just right a...

what brand/model firmware version is the wireless device the comp is plugged into? could it be using something like this?? http://www.navini.com/Website/Content/Products/Ripwave_MX_EMS.htm there is a strong possibility that the device is logging activity and storing it locally in an EEPROM or forwar...

i vote for an athlon 64 X2/socket 939 setup. there's a pretty good price break going on with those at the moment. Look at the socket 939 mainboards, DFI and Gigabyte make good boards, but anything with NForce4 chipsets (depending on your budget and needs) tend to do well. Make sure you plan ahead fo...

if you have a 2.4GHz cordless phone down in the basement, you may get interference. if you find this is the case, go to a 5.8GHz cordless phone. i've never had really good results with wifi and basements. i forget what these things are called or who makes them, but when my dad got broadband in his h...

thanks guys, now i remember about the volume licensing cause the message i would get sometimes when i used the wrong disc told me to use the correct VLK. megavectra, the link to your post was the one i remember reading about creating xp discs. what causes the "repair" option to be unavaila...

well, everything i have read or experienced has shown that a repair install of XP OEM is difficult or close to impossible and i know this question is best answered on a case by case basis, but i have been running into a lot of systems lately that have XP OEM and are so damaged by virus or spyware th...

seems like it would be better to spend that money on upgrading an internet connection or game server colocation.

you probably won't need the new one if the one already in there will fit your new heatsink/fan.

just keep the spare part handy in case you ever come across a board one day that needs it.

specs for that drive indicate a 55C max operating temp (131F)

this one looks interesting. i bet it would save a lot of time if it could be used with this:

i just looked at someone's computer today(very quickly), it was a PIII Slot-type board, either biostar or asus. maybe MSI w/2 cd-roms + 2 HDDs. during POST, it does not recognize any of the devices on IDE channels. also, the devices will not power up. i tried 2 different PSU's and still had same pro...
