Hey Omni, just killin some time before din. I have built many a machine and I have distinct preferences. Advice: go with the very best. Go to PerformancePC for your case and PSU, fans, mods, etc. and then to New Egg for the rest. Case: Lian Li, PSU: PC Power, Fans: Panaflo, Fan Controller...

I started getting PerfNet errors in Event Viewer/Applications about 2 months ago. I don't know what triggers it. I see it after startup and at times during the day. I contacted MSFT and they want me to startup in Safe Mode and see if it occurs. If not, they want me to clean boot and see if...

I have an Asus MOBO, not your model but the correct BIOS settings should be similar. Install it in SATA 1. Then go to BIOS. (Restart/press delete as soon as Asus logo comes up). In the Main menu, co to IDE Configuration: Onboard IDE Operate Mode [Enhanced Mode] Enhanced Mode Support On...

Check Device Manager/View/view hidden devices/non plug and play devices/PfModNT. Do you have any marks next to PfModNT? Thanks

I recently installed a SB Audigy 2 ZS sound card. Everything seems to be working fine except I happened to notice a System Error log entry in Event Viewer that occurs at every startup. This is a Service Control Manager Error that reads: PfModNT service failed to start due to the following...

I installed an SB Audigy 2 ZS soundcard. It didn't like slot 4 so I now have it in slot 5. Everything seems to be fine. I did a custom install from the Installation and Applications CD. I loaded everything in the Audigy 2 section except the Mini Disc Player and everything in the Creative...

I'm with yu my brother, Plextor is the one. My stuff runs perfect and their phone support is killer.Text

From everything I've read in the last 3 months, take it for what it's worth. Nvidia cards run cooler albeit they are a little bigger. My choice was eVGA and I have found their phone support to be excellent. that is generally the deciding factor for me, the support. Not email support, the...

Isn't it though? Just finished my box with the Lian 6060 Quiet and that Ah--e comes out with the new Lians. Oh well. Wanna freak, check out his sleeved PSUs. I splurged and went with the PC Power 625 with Cobra sleeving. I think we're kindred spirits. Mid level s--t is bunk. Gotta feel...

All your bros out there are right. Arctic Silver 5 is the one. Go to their site and follow directions. No bigger blob than a grain of rice. Good luck.

I'm with you my brother, Coolermasters are nice. Check out the new Lians @ Performance, you'll forget all about the ?, what were they?

I'm not into overclocking because stability is of primary concern for me. But my stock 3.4/Mushkin DDR400 (2-2-2--7), Asus P4C800E, Seagate 80's (RAID 0 - 160) runs like a Ferrari. I keep it cool with the Thermalright SP94 with a 92mm high speed Panaflo. That is the "cool" combo.

Don't do that. Get da kine s--t. Go out to dinner a few less times this year. Go to PerformancePC. Get the Lian Li of your choice and then go with PC Power or Global Win. Believe me, you'll be happy you did. Tell Henry you were referred by big ahi...

I have an Asus P4C800Edeluxe mobo. I have been using the onboard sound circuitry. I am now going to switch from onboard sound to a Audigy 2 ZS. I figure I will have to uninstall the AD1985 Audio Driver and the Soundmax application. I am not sure about the AC'97 Audio BIOS setting. It is on...

Thanks bro. Wouldn't call myself a gamer just yet. Right now the box is pretty much for biz. Trying my hand at day trading. TOUGH GIG! My rig runs Fidelity Active Trader instantaneously. I'm pretty proud of my work. Spent 3 weeks getting it just right. Cooling, lighting and cable routing...
