    Zap's SFF LAN box

    Hey Zap, I'm piecing together a little gamer build for my son with a spare ISK 310-150 I have laying around. Anyway, I was wondering if you have taken any kill-a-watt measurements of your build at load. If so, can you please post them?? Oh and BTW, the VisionTek Low Profile Radeon HD7750 is...

    3450s htpc

    Thread is a bit old but... Puma, can you post your power draw measurements for your setup?? Idle and load. I've got a spare ISK 310-150 and was thinking of going with a similar setup, but need to know how much headroom there is for a video card.

    NEC 3550a dvd burner problem.

    Are you running the drive on a secondary controller such as a JMicron363? If so, I may have some insight.

    Trouble with hard disks on Asus P5B-Deluxe

    Sounds like the problem I was having. Here's an Asus thread on this matter: AHCI boot issue Update your intel P965 chipset driver to the latest version and the problem should go away. Intel 965 Chipset Driver v6.2.1.1002 This solved the problem for me, I hope it works for you.
