    My Dell is dead, help.

    Hi everyone, My 4 year old Dell Inspiron 8000 won't boot! I reinstalled Windows XP as I do semiannually and everything was fine. About 2 hours later I noticed that Windows was only recognizing 256Mb worth of Ram out of my 2 sticks of 512Mb for a total of 1024Mb; even in the BIOS it was...

    SFF Advice requested

    I have the SN25P and love it, awesome sys! I built mine (see sig) for about $1000; all parts were purchased from NewEgg. At the end of the year when the new dual core AMD cpus are out I'll be able to buy a 939 socket FX55 for $150 and install that in my SN25P, haha. I don't know about your RAM.

    Got this offered, is this a good deal?

    No! You'll kick yourself in the ass when you try to use this old, slow POS. Spend a few hundred more and buy a new laptop from Dell or someone else. You'll get a warranty, a bigger screen, and you won't tear your ligaments out trying to kick yourself in the ass.

    Hey everyone. I have the SN25P that I bought and used in the US, connected to 120 VAC, 60 Hz. Now I'm working in Europe and will be using my SN25P here. All the info that I can find shows that the SN25P is capable of using dual voltage but I can't find any info about whether or not the SN25P...

    Noise of new SN25P

    I've never owned one of the older Shuttle models so I can't offer you a comparison; I can tell you that for all practical purposes my 2 week old SN25P is silent, you barely know that it's on. It makes some noise on boot but it's silent after that. I love it. I hope this helps. BadMonkey130U

    My new crashing Shuttle SN25P

    I finally put the guts into my new beast, the SN25P and fired it up. Loaded Windows XP Pro with no problems, it recognized my WD 250GB SATA HD ok without installing any extra drivers. Damn it takes forever to format a 250GB HD! After letting it run for a few minutes I started loading...

    New Egg has some awesome shipping and handling, it got here in only 2 days not counting Sunday! I counted on being able to easily transport this in my carry-on luggage due to the dimensions listed on the Newegg website. I was surprised to discover that it's much larger than stated on the New...

    SN25P is available! Info on SLOT LOADING DVD +/- RW

    Hey guys, my SN25P should be here today. I will be installing a 250Gb WD SATA HD. Does it automatically recognize a HD larger than 137Gb or will I need to do something extra to get it to recognize the HD? Thanks.
