"Q: How do I change the front intake fans? A: Please remove the hex head screw and the bottom Philip screw (left side) to swing open the bottom front bezel. This will give you access to the front intake fans." That's about as much help as I've been able to find (taken from Cooler Master's...

I'm not sure what to use. I seem to recall reading that Windex and similar products are not recommended, but I've also had it recommended to me. I have a NEC/Mitsubishi 930SB monitor if it matters. Thanks for your help.

Ah! Fixed it. Found out from the dfi-street forums that this problem is fixed by finding the MAC Address located north of the AGP Slot and putting that into the BIOS. :thumbsup:

Well, I ran WinSockFix, LSP-Fix, and reset the TCP/IP stack. Still no connection. I also re-installed the Ethernet port's drivers through the nVidia 5.03 System Driver Package found on DFI's site. No luck with that either. Right now I'm reading Microsoft's website to see if I find anything...

Ok, so our home network is composed of a laptop, an aging PC, and one only 2 month old PC. These are all hardwired to our Belkin router which then connects to our cable modem and to our Comcast HSI connection. Just last night the new PC lost it's network connection; after about two months of...

I'll give it a shot when I get home. I actually moved it up to 100hz after trying 85, but I'll try it again and see if there's any difference.

I have a NEC/Mitsubishi 930SB monitor, 19 inch. It's pretty awesome for everything I've done with it so far. But I can attest to slightly fuzzy text at higher resolutions (Currently 1280x1024, 100hz), and it's an aperture grille. No problems at all with gaming though, and the "SB" (Superbright)...

Well, that was easy enough. It works on Pins 8 and 10. Suppose that's somewhat my fault, manual says pins 2-4-6 are intended for a Power LED, which the wavemaster doesn't have.

So far, everything seems to be going fine, except for this one thing. Connecting the front panel connector for the Power Button doesn't seem to be working correctly. I have an OCZ 520 Powerstream, DFI NF3 LPUT 250gb mobo, and a CoolerMaster WaveMaster case. I think what's going on is the POWER...

With regards to a 9600xt, it appears (on newegg) you can get 9600xts with 256mb of memory for slightly more, which you may want to consider. Another thing to consider, are 9800 and 9800SE cards. Less powerful than the 9600xts (and less expensive) but I don't know if they're able to be modded...

I found www.techonweb.com to have good prices on monitors. They also package them well, ship quickly, and have a very good resellerratings.com score.

A lot of people are holding out for nf4 boards which are supposed to be released in the coming month I think. You may want to wait it out and see how they are received.

I'm with theblackbox here, my iPod (10gb, got it Christmas of 2002, whatever generation that may be) has lasted well over the 18 month mark without trouble. And it's had it's share of abuse as well, big dent in one corner from dropping the thing on a concrete floor once. Still works great...

NEC/MITSUBISHI 930SB for about 260$. Yea, the shipping is ~30$, but in total, it comes out to about 296$. Or that's what it cost for to ship to me in Pennsylvania. If you can spare about 45$ more, then I'd say you're in good shape. I recently ordered this exact same product from that site, and...

I've been wondering this, is there such a thing as a refresh rate being too high? Or is higher always better? I know it probably depends on your eyes and your preference, but are there any kinds of problems that can be caused by a refresh rate being set too high?
