    Kensington Expert Turbo Mouse - buttons issues

    I recently got a new USB Turbo mouse trackball to replace my 10+ year old expert mouse trackball. It works great, except occasionally the buttons stop working after awhile. Anyone ever have this problem or have any idea what it may be? Everything else works fine while the buttons don't work.

    Shuttle SN95G5 w/ 240 watt PS + 7600 GS

    Update: Ended up with the XFX 7600GT instead of the GS since it was less than $100 after rebate. Works great. No issues at all.

    Shuttle SN95G5 w/ 240 watt PS + 7600 GS

    Thanks all. For the price I think I'll just give it a try until I can replace the whole thing! The fan on my 9800 is drving me nuts! Anyone know if most more modern cards are quieter than the old Radeon 9800? Just thinking ahead :)

    Shuttle SN95G5 w/ 240 watt PS + 7600 GS

    I'm looking for a replacement for my 9800 Pro in my shuttle SN95G5v2 but it only has a 240 watt power supply. Could it run one of these (http://www.mwave.com/mwave/Sku...hmx?scriteria=4272963) or even a 7600GT? I'm looking for somethign quiet hence the fanless GS. What would be the best card it...

    DSL and Cable internet - how to?

    I'm not really sure what "all this trouble" is. Sounds like all I need is a DSL and Cable connection, and a Dual Wan Router with Load Balancing. So $100 for the router, ~$60/month for the ISPs. What does a T1 with a good SLA cost? $400/month? Someday, but I'm not that good a trader yet! :)

    DSL and Cable internet - how to?

    That won't really work for me while trading as I don't want to loose access to my trading platform whatsoever. The minute or two it would take to switch connections and refresh my connections is way way too long if I have an open position. thanks for the links, I'll read through them!

    DSL and Cable internet - how to?

    I would like to have both DSL and cable internet service for redundancy as I use my computer for trading stocks and I'm wondering how to go about doing it. I am also thinking about building a new system as well and noticed some motherboards have 2 Gigabit ports already built in. Is that in...

    Shuttle SN95G5 w/ Radeon 9800 Pro - new vid card?

    I'm looking to upgrade my video card, but it seems that I don't have enough power to power any current AGP cards. Any suggestions on what the best card I can run is with the limited 240 watt PS that comes in the SN95G5? I would like to upgrade to a 22" widescreen as well if there are any AGP...

    Will POWERCOLOR X1950PRO512 AGP fit in a Shuttle?

    Bummer. I really want something quiet, but much better for gaming than my aging 9800Pro (which is kinda loud). I saw a few comments on making sure you had enough power for the card aswell, but I'm not sure if that is unique to the powercolor cause of the cooler, or if it applies to all...

    Will POWERCOLOR X1950PRO512 AGP fit in a Shuttle?

    And can a shuttle power it? If not, what is the best AGP card that would work? I currently have a Shuttle SN95G5 w/ 240 watt PS and Radeon 9800 Pro. Thanks

    KDS K22mdwb 22-inch LCD Multimedia Monitor?

    Has anyone used this monitor? I will be using it for gaming (WOW) and charting for stockmarket stuff. I can pick it up for $229 which is pretty nice. What about Acer AL2216Wbd 22-inch LCD Monitor? I'm currently running a fairly old system- Shuttle SN95G5 with a Athlon 64 3000+, 1G ram, and...

    Super-G VPN routers or use with existing VPN router?

    Any love? Did I not make sense? Will computers connected to a VPN router through another wireless router be able to access the VPN? Are the any VPN Super-G Routers?
