Okay Thanks. I may cut from the center since I'm a little unsure about putting everything back together if I do it another way. At least I know how to solder but am not sure if I have the right tools to do it another way. Thread7

I created a custom small size case from plexi and barely have enough room for all the wires coming from the power supply. They are much too long. I'm sure I've seen mod projects where people have shortened the wires from their PSU but I can't find any after much searching. What do you...

Well I found some basic guidelines at the Artic Silver site (Even thought I was using the plain stuff that came with the heatsink). It is a little different for newer Celeron's and P4's than for AMD XP's. http://www.arcticsilver.com/ar...ilver_instructions.htm

Are there any good tutorials on how to apply thermal grease for a Celeron (or even Pentium 4?). Or does anyone know off the top of there head, is a "grain of rice" the standard on Intel too? I've installed it on an AMD XP before and they have a nice little tutorial on their web site. Intel...

I've heard that some motherboards need a BIOS upgrade to accurately report temps.

I am creating my own small case and it is pretty cramped. I am wondering if there is a guidline on how much clearance a heatsink and cooling fan should have. My CPU is a Celeron D 2.66 Ghz. I am only going to have the CPU fan about 1/2 an inch away from the top of the case which is plexi...

arbytech, That reply was just what I needed. You guys are the best. Thanks.

I understand that Norton Ghost would work on the software side, but what about the hardware side? The original image has to reside on something. That something must be able to work before Windows is loaded. It wouldn't fit on a CD since my build is about 2.5 GB.

Hi, I have ten of the same laptops and would like to create a hard drive image that I can use to overwrite a current hard drive if someone messes up their computer too badly. I think I know how to create the image, but how would I load it onto the laptop? Since there would be no operating...
