Thanks for your replies. I`m from Malta, an island in the Mediterranean and for something as heavy as a case I`m in practice limited to what I find from local retailers since the shipping costs on such a heavy case would be prohibitive. Thats teh reason why I`m just looking at the RV01 and not...

Hi, I currently own a Thermaltake Tsunami Dream case and I`m seeking on replacing it with something better. My main issue with the Tsunami case is that its too small to accommodate long graphic cards. The end of my card obstructs access to the HD rack. I definitely don't want to face such...

From scanning for wireless networks from the phone i noticed that most routers in my area were broadcasting on channels 1 or 11 so I thought 6 was the best option. However I did try to switch to 1 and 11 but as I thought 6 was (a bit) better. Guess my problem is essentially stone walls...

I`m a bit new to wireless networking so need some help here: My current setup is 3 desktop computers connected via ethernet plus a laptop and an iphone connected via wifi-G to a VERY cheap MSI wireless router. The setup "works" but i have many blackspots in the house and rather frequent loss...

Hello all, I am having problems fitting my new 8800GTS video card on my Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard due to a zalman 47mm shipset heat sink which I had to install due to the asus chipset fan dying out. My first approach was to replace teh heatsink with something which would allow the...

Guess I might go for it...even if the price more than doubles for me because of the postage, however if someone has any alternative solution please let me know because i`d really like to avoid paying 50+ usd on achipset heat sink when I dont even overclock.

Thanks for the reply. It would come a bit pricey for me with postage and all, but will take it as my last resort. I was wondering if some simple low profile chipset fan would do the trick...such as the akasa one I stumbled into.

Hello, I own a A8N SLI mobo, and some time back the fan was making loads of noise so I replaced with a zalman 47 heatsink. However I just bought myself a 8800GTS 640MB videocard, and the card wont fit because of the high heatsink! It wont be until january next year when i`ll upgrade my...

I know that low tech solutions are generally frowned upon in high tech fora, but a good ole paper and pencil to write down the page numbers does the trick. If however you hate pencils you can rename your pdf file with the page number you arrived at, that works too ;-)

Just an update: Problem solved, it was the dying Hitachi SATA drive (3months old!) I replaced it with a Samsung SATA 2 200Gb drive and things were working quite well except for another error (warning actually) Error 51: wndows paging to drive 0. After searching some forums I solved the error...
