    Hello, I made a slight miscalculation while modding my case. Now I need a PSU to be about 1/2 the size of a normal ATX PSU. I need the dimensions to be 150x86x70 (mm) (WxHxD). Thanks!

    OCing with SCSI Devices

    My system includes and IWill KK266 mobo and an Adaptec AHA-2940U2W SCSI Host Adapter. When I bump the FSB up, I cannot boot from my SCSI Hard disk. Even the slightest increase of the FSB to 134 will cause this. I have heard that increasing the FSB freq also increases the PCI Bus frequency...

    Which way does the fan point (on a HSF)?

    It depends on the design of the heatsink. I think Alpha heatsinks usually blow air away. Everything else I've used blows air into the heatsink.

    What can I do for internet??

    I called verizon, and they said the only high speed residential services are ISDN and DSL. Oh Well... The thing that sucks the most is that Cablevision's Optimum Online service is available in my area, but my building contracted DirecTV to provide television service. I called Cablevision, and...

    Well the problem is that when I get to the login prompt, the computer gives an error message saying "The system could not log you in because the domain EGG is not available."

    What can I do for internet??

    I just moved into my new apartment, and I cannot stand to use 56k anymore! I called up a DSL provider, and they said that I do not qualify for DSL because my phone lines are fiber optic, and DSL requires copper based phone lines. From my little knowledge on this subject, I thought that fiber...

    Silencing a SCSI Hard Disk

    I have a Western Digital 18GB 10,000 RPM hard disk. Anyone have any ideas on how to quiet this thing? I was thinking of getting a drive silencer from quietpc.com, but it is only garunteed if the drive dissipates under 6.8 watts. From the spec sheet of the drive, it says that the drive...
