    Started A Project... Now Uncertain On My Decisions....

    Lol ok. Thanks guys. This is my first project, and still picking up on hardware information.. I'll desolder the USB from the fans and also, how would I go about running my fans off the PSU?

    Started A Project... Now Uncertain On My Decisions....

    I've had a case sitting around for a while, and found a link online of someone turning a PC case into a "mini fridge". It's not necessarily a mini fridge, as much as it is more of just a soda dispenser. It has a fan on the top of the case (Directly above the PSU) and 2 fans in the rear of the...

    Arghh... CD/DVD Drive Problems..

    To make a long story short, I accidentally uninstalled my CD/DVD drive... I looked on Dell for a driver to reinstall, nothing... I can't use the CD that came with the computer that has the drivers on it... Obviously, because it doesn't work... I unhooked the SATA cables from the drive and...

    Time to upgrade-- But a little confused..

    Lol, this is what goes through my head everyday... I see all these parts in my work area and I think "I'd be better off just getting what I need to make this thing run a little better.." Then I think, "I should just build my own..." But, with my finances it's not going to happen, I'll end up...

    Well, enough to get what we've talked about, but if I put it back I could get an i3 or i5 in a couple weeks..

    Thank you. Also, I was looking at some CPUs, and their not near as expensive and some I've seen and what I thought; although, I did see an i7 for $999 :O... And, could I go more extreme if I went with an i5 or even an i3?

    Time to upgrade-- But a little confused..

    Lol I'm confused on this now... Under DV Output it has all the + and - volts listed and then the amps to the right... Then from the +5.0V/22.0A & the +3.3V/17.0A is a line that leads to some reading where it says TOTAL 160W MAX. But at the bottom in bigger font it says TOTAL MAX POWER 300W
