    Anyone every have a desk shipped from IKEA?

    You're going to get a DISGUSTING price. I ordered a jerker and various other parts, totalling at about 200 bucks, and the shipping was $280 NOT INCLUDING the independent shipper (UPS, or whatever they use). Right there I said no. I'm still trying to get ahold of a jerker some other way...

    water cooling advice

    I'm building a new system. Althon 64 3400+/ABIT K8T800/1GB Ram. The system isn't what I'm worried about. I decided to go watercooling; it's more effective, looks better, and allows me to concentrate when my computer is on (I currently have 6 fans, it sucks). So far, these are the parts...

    2005 Mustang.

    F-bodys will always kick Mustangs asses. And the new corvette is gorgeous. It outperforms the mustang on every level, as well. The new LS2 can pump out 500 rwhp with minor tweaks and a few beef-ups.

    corner desk w/hutch

    I'm moving in about three weeks. I want a corner desk that can accomadate pretty much all my electronics. I need a large amount of desk space for things other than my monitor (papers, etc), but at the same time allowing room for my monitor, and maybe a second (I'm considering dual). I'd need...

    new system --> blue screen

    Well, I got a different XP cd, this time full. I reverted the BIOS settings back to the failsafe, and installed XP all the way, succesfully. When I started up, things were a bit unstable. I brought the CPU FSB from 200 down to 133, and it became pretty stable (with a blue screen once). This also...

    new system --> blue screen

    The two blue screen stop codes in the topic summary are what I'm getting: 0x0000000E 0x00000008 They come when installing Windows XP Home or Windows 98 SE on an empty, formatted drive. It happens on XP right near the beginning, before files are copied, while in 98 it happens at the end, when...

    No video signal?...

    Maybe you can borrow a friend's crappy PCI video card? Just to rule out the motherboard issues.. which would suck. If that doesn't work maybe it's something to do with the PSU? How many watts are you pushing, and what brand is it? :X

    Can download, but can't surf

    I've had problems similar to this before. Usually when something like this comes up, I delete all my interenet connections, I uninstall my nic card from the device manager, and I reboot. 99% of the time this fixes network errors. Let us know if you fix it.

    mouse/keyboard freeze momentarily, then go back

    There's actually a converter from USB to PS/2 between the mouse. It's a USB mouse, obviously. The mouse gives the same symptoms, though, if it's plugged in via USB or PS/2. My BIOS is updated. I've never heard of MemTest86 before.

    mouse/keyboard freeze momentarily, then go back

    First of all, they're both ps/2. It's not an IRQ conflict. This was my first guess as well, but unfortunatly that's not it. My virtual memory is set to a minimum of 256mb and nothing's changed. I've got 512mb (ddr) of ram. If there are any other clues anybody's got, it'd be much appreciated...

    mouse/keyboard freeze momentarily, then go back

    This problem started about three weeks ago, and I've not been able to find a fix. Every now and then, usually when my cpu is really churning, my mouse and keyboard will lock up (sound will stop as well), and then about five seconds later (depending on what I'm doing), it will go back. I've...

    IE 6 weird error when loading pages w/lots of info

    For starters, I'm running XP Pro and IE6, everything updated all the way. For about two or three weeks, I've been receiving errors when I load pages with lots of information (like AnandTech.com and AddictingGames.com). It'll load the page completely, and then a popup window shows up. Everytime...
