    i *think* i got a decent deal

    Yup, no gaming for me. I've barely got enough time to do the thing I need to do on it... never mind playing with it. I looked around and it seems that machines with similar specs were running $50 to $70 more, and so far I really like the build quality of this one. I'm satisfied, and...

    i *think* i got a decent deal

    So, I got a bunch if cash for a new laptop for xmas... ended up with the Asus u56 from Best Buy. I5 2430m w/ 6 gb ram, 640 gb hdd , dvd multi, 1 usb 3.0, hdmi, 15.6 screen, and intel integrated hd3000 for $530 + tax. I was bouncing back and forth between the i7, the i5, and either the a8 or...

    Do i need a new router?

    So... I got my Samsung BD-P 3600 hooked up, and tried streaming Netflix last night. Had no problems until my wife and I both had our phones connected to the WiFi. Router dropped the connection 3 times before we figured it out. It's a Netgear g router, and probably about 5 years old...

    Sempron/Asrock combo... good deal?

    No Frys love for me, but a Microcenter is opening up in Yonkers, NY soon, which will be close enough for me to get to. It's funny I've heard bad things about Asrock boards, but most of the reviews on Newegg for this particular board are very positive.

    Sempron/Asrock combo... good deal?

    So I'm a little confused... you say "yeah" and. Then bring up points against the NVIDIA chipset. Sounds like I should wait for another deal - maybe an AND chipset, on an Intel combo.

    SILVERSTONE SUGO SG02-BF Black ABS / SECC Steel MicroATX Desktop Computer Case

    Thanks for all the input. Jhat, I see a place to mount that top fan you added - is there also an opening in the sheet metal? I'm thinking of this for my wife's new machine. Just a basic web/photo and video transferring/office box. I'm thinking a small microATX system with an X2 usin...

    SILVERSTONE SUGO SG02-BF Black ABS / SECC Steel MicroATX Desktop Computer Case

    Good info, J - thanks. I guess I can assume that if I'm not overclocking and I'm using a stock HSF I'll be fine? This would be for my wife, and no crazy stuff will be happening with it.

    New Drive - can't copy OS

    I'm getting rid of that sucker - with the bad sectors, and the *screaming* whine it emits, as soon as I get the info off of it it's going in the trash. As far as getting the info to the new drive, I have two partions set up on the new drive - one just larger than the source drive (~20GB), and...
