Since having the probelm I have mentioned in another posting, we are stopping use on our Canoscan 8400F scanner and instead we be looking into purchasing a Business Quality Scanner. Does anyone have recommendations on a flatbed scanner of this type? Thanks in advance.

Although its a great scanner, this model has an annoying weakness. Seems on some models it deveopls a yellow line on the scans. This link will show you how some end-user discovered a fix. Canoscan 8400F Fix Cannon suggests you take the unit back to an authorized repair facillity to have...

Hi, Can someone point out the difference between these two boards: ASUS A8N-VM CSM & ASUS A8N-VM CSM/NBP other than the fact one says, "NVIDIA® GeForce 6150B + nForce 430" & the other says, "NVIDIA® GeForce 6150 + nForce 430"? Inuqiring Minds wanna know... Morpth

Normally, I'd agree with you, as we have lots of "off-lease Dell" boxes already, but the DFS group that offers the off-lease are now pushing laptops and that is not what is wanted. As for brand new, I can't see paying for an OS when I have 35 copies of XP Pro already waiting for a system to...

My mistake. I was trying to say something better than software driven graphics which use shared memory archecture. We have some systems like that now, and its a bear on the applications we use. Onboard would be fine as long as its an integrated embedded video chipset.

Hi, I am looking to build a budget Office white box. I already have a Monitor, mouse, keyboard, the OS (Win XP Pro SP2). I am looking into the Antec NSK4400 for the chassis; (thanks megaBgon for the recommedation on the Antec); as well as NEC ND-3550A BK DVD Burner. A floppy is a must as...

I'm looking for a good manufacturer of a Mini-tower chassis for use in an office setting that is very conservative and serious in both form and function. Who are the big players out there right now for such a case? Links please! Thanks in advance.

Anyone know when these baby's might start selling? I'm in the market for a new components and I'd like to know roughly how long I should be waiting. *<Original message edited>*

After reading some of the recommendations from my first question, I hqave revised my previous question to include the following: I would like to consider using SLI -- but I wouldn't use it immediately , probably in 2007. I would also like to try a novice level of OC'ing. Never done it, but...

Would someone recommend to me a good AMD compatable motherboard. Won't be OverClocking, nor will I be using the features of SLI. I will be building my replacement system around a eVGA 7900GT video adapter. My current system used an Asus P2B-F motherboard...so almost any current production...

Ok, I searched this topic for an answer to my question, but didn't find it, so here goes: Although this question could be applied to any brand, I will narrow it down to Nvidia. How does the following components play into the best value for a video card? Those components I speak of are...

Second draft: After read all the replies from my earlier question and taking into consideration the post from "pirred908" entitled "Trying to put together an entry level gaming machine", I have come up with this build and wanted your opinion on it. Its more for gaming than my original...

I did notice that. I was eyeing the Thermaltake VA-8000 silver armor chassis but its almosy $200.00! I read the the most recent computer show review that Thermaltake might release said Armor series in a mid-size unit. I wonder what price that will released at when it hits the shelves. The...

Thank you for the correct spelling. -Morpth
