    Ah, oh well, it was cheap anyway, and it's SOOOO much cooler to have sata anyway :-)

    switching hard drives

    I figured the mbr would be the problem if I tried it. I'll look into Ghost, maybe someone else will know of something free. Viva Open Source!

    Is SBLive! still alive?

    fisher, you might want to look into audigy's now, the old audigy's are running at ridiculous prices thanks to the x-fi coming out soon. I think it was at buy.com they had a big sale. I found the info somewhere in the hot deals forum.

    switching hard drives

    I currently have a 200gb IDE drive, and I just bought an 80gb SATA drive in the interest of a speed increase. I want to move my operating system and programs onto the SATA drive and use the IDE drive for music, movies and other media. Can I possibly move everything onto my SATA drive and still...

    Loud pc plus strange fan behavior

    Thats the weird thing though, speedfan isnt changing the speeds. It was working for like a day, then it stopped responding. Ill go with the hardware controller and do it that way. I'll try replacing the hsf, because of that weird temp probe thing. Thanks very much!

    Loud pc plus strange fan behavior

    Cool thanks. I have the newest bios version, but the weird thing is that, as far as i can tell, when I first got the mb i didnt have this problem, but once I installed the newest bios, the fan started going nuts.

    Loud pc plus strange fan behavior

    So here's the deal: I bought a Lian-Li PC7A+. It came with two case fans, an 80mm in the back and a 120mm up front. I also have a 3500 venice with a stock heatsink and fan, and a sapphire x800 pro with stock fan. I have an epower 450 watt power supply. I also have an MSI k8n neo4 platinum...

    Ready to build...

    I'd go with a dvd rw, preferably a retail version that has some software with it. If you already have software, then go oem; if not retail is your friend, they usually come bundled with full versions of software that costs more than the drive itself if purchased separately. LITE-ON Black IDE...
