Unfortunately, I am a tenant so modifying anything like that wouldn't be allowed :( Also, why would an antenna indoor not yield a better signal?

I use a USB Wifi Adapter and the reception is lacking in my new room. Desperate, I am now considering a PCI + External Antenna setup. There are many options here, but I'd like some suggestions. Right now TP-Link's parabolic dish looks appealing, but have no clue how I would mount it indoors...

$160-$200 No thanks :(

This is a continuation of the following thread. Long story short computer wouldn't boot; I try many different PSU; I buy a fourth one, and it works. After many months without sound, I finally got a speaker and installed sound; however, the audio is extremely choppy, sounds wavy, and makes...

Ok so it works with my old HDD. Frankly I'm surprised since PSU #3 worked with the SSD in the past (installed OS and everything), but now it doesn't even work. I guess I'll RMA it. Also, worth mentioning is that PSU #1 still doesn't even turn on even with almost everything disconnected and...

Ok, it looks like I do have a grounding issue. I removed everything out of the case and turned it on. Nothing happened. So I disconnected the SSD and it turned on! I replaced the sata cable and now it turns on, but my mb doesn't detect the SSD. In my bios i have the following settings...

RMA sent me a new PSU and MB PSU Cable, I got a new motherboard, and it still doesn't boot. RAM: I removed the RAM and tested it with PSU #3. It ran fine, but didn't make any beeping sounds. PSU #1 didn't boot with or without the RAM. CMOS: I cleared it by moving the cap thingy from 1_2 to...

Because it's not modular :( I did an RMA and got a replacement. Same problem: won't turn on nor boot. I am very satisfied with this explanation. My case is micro-atx and I was going for a clutterfree interior. PSU #3 is like an giant squid in there XD Well, the replacement is also a dud. The...

i have those silly tall ones. yeah i'd return it now, but it's past the date so :mad: i suppose i could take suggestions for a 92mm as well. i don't overclock so perhaps a 120 is unnecessary. i currently do that, but taking out a ram stick would still be somewhat of a pain. anyway maybe i'm...

Just assembled a micro-atx case and the mb doesn't exactly give much space between the cpu and ram. As a result the cm 212 hyper evo is touching/covering 1 ram stick. What are some alternatives to the cm212 that is slightly slimmer and roughly the same price/efficiency?

Power Supply #1 is brand new. Power Supply #2 is ~2-3 years old. Power Supply #3 is ~1 year old but was left on the shelf. I tried using a different power cable but that didn't help. My my very first computer had an i7 + gtx 460gtx + hard drive and ran fine with 550W. This new computer is...

Ok so I removed the video card and tried all three power supplies. The results are identical: Power Supply #1 does nothing, Power Supply #2 briefly turns on before dying, and Power Supply #3 has no problems whatsoever and the computer runs smoothly. While testing all three, I did not hear any...

Yes I do have another video card to test though it maybe difficult to get it to fit since the mobo is small and the cpu heatsink is rather massive. I shall try your suggestion when I get the chance tyvm! ty for the suggestion. i shall try this as well.

It's a new build.
