    Reinstalling Windows on a Laptop that doesnt have a CD Drive

    Alright, so I have a Toshiba M200, and it is awesome, but neither the WLAN nor the plain jane LAN will work, it connects and gets an IP address, but wont get on the internet. But anyway, I'm wanting to just reformat, but since the computer doesnt have a DVD drive (the recovery disc is a DVD) I...

    Recommend me an inconspicuous backpack that can carry a notebook

    I got this backpack a while ago, and it works great for what I use it for. The laptop that I have is fairly small and the laptop sleeve is snug around it, so im not sure if a big widescreen DTR is going to fit, but if you have an ultraportable, it is a great pack, and Dana is an amazing...

    Build a HSF?

    That is what i thought, but i disagree that it isnt the ideal metal, it is the best conductor of heat and electricity of any metal. But i do agree that the cost would be preventative. I will probably just use some of the machines (like an ultrasonic smoother :D) to get a true mirror-finish on...

    Need a suggestion on a case/ps!

    I would say either the Antec Sx840 or 1040. You really need a 400W PSU for an XP

    Build a HSF?

    Im in a jewelry class at school (not as girly as you would think :)) We use all silver for our projects and our teacher doesnt really care what we make. So i was wondering if it would be worth it to try to build a hsf out of the silver (maybe in the style of the SK6 or better yet somehow use...

    Panaflo drawing thru Mobo

    I just bought a panaflo U1A (it is the 47 cfm type), and was told by the guy that sold it to me that it could blow out the MoBo header if i set it up to draw from the MoBo. (I have an A7V266. See specs in sig) Is there really a danger, or should i not worry about it. I have a baybus that I...

    Is 60-63 degrees Celcius too hot for Athlon XP...?

    I have an A7V266 and Athlon XP 1800+ with a similar problem, but i have a good HSF (an SK6). I dont think i have set up the board to read the internal thermistor (or whatever you called it). How would i go about doing that Thanks Dan
