Sorry but a different question: which case are you planning to use? I am trying to do the same thing and could only find Hd-plex H3 to be the closest in terms of size. Amazingly, it is also one of the few sub $300 cases with slot load (wow... one would think there would many mac-mini knock off's...

I am building a fanless mini-itx pc with HD-Plex H3 box. I was wondering which mini itx board I should go with. The pc will be for everyday use, limited gaming (angry birds, bejeweled type stuff), moderate to heavy photoshop and adobe premier use. Will also be using it a secondary blu-ray movie...

I am also looking at the Toshiba R835-P56x (at $859 Amazon) for an everyday laptop (word, photoshop, internet browsing, movies, occasional video editing/rendering) ... maybe the occasional gaming but nothing more than stuff like bejeweled, some RPG. Most important is the weight - this seems to...

Thanks for the suggestions. I am trying avoid changing the MB - don't want to invest too much. I want to play games like Crysis (when it is out), FEAR - but looks like I can't play it at a high resolution (1080p) even if the 8800GTS can support it. I was going to change the whole system (to C2D)...

Unfortunately, the board is the Gigabyte GA-K8N51PVMT-9-RH and it doesn't support many overclocking options. Have anyone had any luck overclocking with this board?

I have a 3200 939 setup with 2GB ram. Is it enough to support a 8800GTS? The MB is the gigabyte 6150 micro atx board with very few options to OC. If I need to upgrade, pls suggest a 939 processor that might support the setup.

KBM: Any update? I was interested in getting this board but want the option to OC.

Looking for a mid priced board (<150) for C2D 6300. I plan to overclock. suggestions? Thanks.

FYI: After many different troubleshooting attempts, I updated my BIOS and things worked like a charm. DUH.

I installed nvidia's 96.85 drivers and it doesn't seem to be working. Nvidia's install finishes without complaing. But immediately after it finishes vista complains that the driver didn't install correctly. I see the following in the properties for the device driver: ==== This device cannot...

The channel is not shared by anything else. The BIOS correctly identifies the drive at boot up. Basically, everything seems to be right but obviously something is missing.... What is frustrating is that when uninstall and scan for new hw the drivers are exactly the same as when the drive doesn't...

The drive is on the secondary IDE channel and it is the master.

Sys specs: Gigabyte 6150 board, AMD 3200 and a Plextor dual layer IDE drive Almost everytime XP seems to think there is a problem with the dvd drive. Initially, when it reported the problem, I uninstalled all the DVD burning software including any upper and lower filters in the registry. I...

I am looking for a wireless keyboard with a wireless range of 30 feet - line of sight is also ok. Any recommendations?
