Building a new rig, and I'd like to mount the motherboard with black thumbscrews. I've seen it done on a few modding sites, but i can't seem to find any specific information on screw size 6-32? and length? Anybody have any ideas? Thanks for the help.

you're looking for simple file sharing and it's not an option in a vista to vista network situation. Windows Vista by default does not allow simple file sharing. Access to shared folders, including the public folder (if shared), requires a user name and password. Vista is looking for...

The MX Revolution is the best mouse i've ever owned. Combine it with uberOptions and it does just about anything you could need/want. It's never crapped out on me and it holds its charge for an extremely long time.

Well hell, used a little extra force and i finally got them in the bottom ears, thanks bill. Now all i need are some washers.

I understand what you're saying perfectly Bill, no need to be snide ;) I've already tried getting the screws through the bottom ears only and they seem to be just a tad to long to squeeze in. I could file them or even use a hacksaw to take a small portion of them off as long as i don't ruin...

The old gray matter is functioning on par, although with age it slows down from time to time :confused: The guy at home depot new his stuff but unfortunately what i need is not a common item, i'm out of luck at home depot in this area (a million + people in my county alone) as they all carry...

thanks Corky, used the second link and hopefully it should be a correct fit, great information on metric to standard conversions.

Just purchased an E8400 and an Enzotech Ultra-X. I also purchased one of the new Scythe "Ultra Kaze" 120 x 38mm fans (3000 rpm 133.6 CFM!) to mount on it for that extra kick. It apears that most stock 120mm fans are 25.4mm thick, and i was aware i'd need some new bolts when i ordered. After...

Thought i'd follow up, monitor and HDMI to DVI cable arrived today. Easy setup and the monitor is absolutely stunning. Very bright out of the box, so i'll be playing with the settings later on. The control buttons could be laid out better but unless you're a dolt, it's not really that big of...

I'm in for one, should be here on Wed or Thurs. All the reviews I've read say it's got a incredible picture and viewing angle, rivaling the more expensive 24" LCD's. For some reason it seems to be considered "low end" as far as 24" LCD monitors go by some AT folks. I'll post my findings after...

Someone needs to edit this as DEAD, no deals anywhere right now.

thanks for the info guys, i guess i'll just stick with the standard mb screws, saw some pics of a build with metal thumbs and it looked really cool, was just thinking of trying something a little different this time around. Lan

I'm getting ready to build a new rig, and want to mount the motherboard with thumbscrews if possible. If it is possible, what size do the thumbscrews need to be. Antec P180 case, standard motherboard standoffs i believe.

Are you actually serious, klipsch are generally regarded as some of the best computer speakers you can buy, especially the ultra 5.1's.

Try going into the bios and setting it to defaults, boot up and see what's going on. if eveyrthing is ok start tweaking settings to your liking. It may be a mb voltage problem.
