Ahh...This Connector is what I was looking for! Thanks to all the replies I got. I hope this thread helps someone else someday..

LoL! That is the drive, but let's just say that I did NOT pay nearly that much money for this drive hahaha. About that Sony - The picture of the rear connectors is exactly like what the drive I have at home has. Can you see how the power connector is like half the size of a normal SATA power...

So I bought this really nice HTPC case, but it only takes a slim Optical drive. No biggie I thought. I bought an LG CT10N BD drive meant for notebooks. It's a SATA drive. It fits into the case beautifully, however, I can't hook it up to a power cable. The SATA cable fits fine, but the power...

Yes I was clicking the apply button everytime. I realize calibrating the monitor end is best when using a HTPC, however the desktop had correct gamma display, but video had incorrect gamma. If I calibrated the monitor for a correct video display, then the desktop and internet browsing would...

If I calibrate it on the TV end, the desktop/internet colors are going to be WAY out of whack. I want to fix on the computer end, as it should not keep resetting to -8 gamma, but should stay at +9 gamma like I'm trying to set it.

I have an NVidia 6600GT vid card in my PC with the latest drivers off of NVidia's website. it's connected to a 42" Westinghouse 1080p monitor via DVI cable. Here's the problem. When watching a video file or DVD movie using any video playback program (PowerDVD and WMP9 is what I use) the video...

Hi, I have a question regarding the way my Windows boots up. When my computer starts and it goes to boot up windows, it gives me an option to boot which OS I choose to. Howver the first option, I guess default option, is a dead path, the computer won't boot due to some missing file. The...

I recently purchased a brand ne WD 320 GB hard drive SATA150 and installed it into my computer to become the new primary HDD. My motherboard detects the HD and the size of it perfect, however when I do a fresh install of Windows XP it only sees 137 GB of it. I have a Chaintech VNF4 Ultra mobo...

Hi, I want to hook the sound from this motherboard up to my surround sound reciever, but I need the coax output for the digital audio. I haven't had any luck finding where to get one, can anyone point me in the right direction? After browsking through Chaintech's website I found that this...

Do you have a recommendation for a PSU? There are hundreds of them out there and I dunno what's the real difference between them all lol. I'm only gonna use this machine for running FFXI on it for now, other games to follow later, nothing intense, not even to burn CDs lol.

Hi guys, I'm upgrading an old system that I just inherited from a friend who was giving one away. She left me an AMD 800 Duron. The only thing that this computer has that is new is a brand spankin new 80 GB HDD 7200 RPM with 8/MB cache. Well I kinda want to turn this thing into a gaming...
