    Umax Astra 2010u Usb 36bit Scanner $40 - $30 Rebate = $10 (New); (Update : Deal dead)

    After installing the european umax drivers Win2k detected the scanner as a 2100U.. did NOT work. I then just changed the driver over to the 1220U that Win2k bundled with the OS, and it works, but not well. It often just freezes though scanning and no matter what I do it won't work until I...

    Abit KT7, Chrome Orb, 800mhz Tbird - 88 C?!?! System Crashes

    Those would be capacitors.... I bent them down a little bit and managed to scratch their surface off, but thats only protective plastic coating, so its OK with electrical tape. :) I found the problem - the Chrome Orb had two pieces of plastic that required peeling off the bottom of the Orb. I...

    Abit KT7, Chrome Orb, 800mhz Tbird - 88 C?!?! System Crashes

    Ok, I just ran SETI for 24 hours and its been stable, with Via Hardware Monitor showing 190F cpu and no crashes. So I'm pretty sure its the 3dProphet SDR overheating the system. I find that somewhat ridiculous...

    Abit KT7, Chrome Orb, 800mhz Tbird - 88 C?!?! System Crashes

    I don't know whats wrong... The system idles at 120F/49C but when a game is played (CounterStrike) the system kicks up to 190F/88C. This measurement is taken with Via Hardware Monitor. The thermometer HAS to be broken. One thing that may have lead to this is I had to bend the thermo down a...

    Infineon PC133 64RAM won't work in a Gateway Pentium II 266 system

    &quot;When I take out the old DIMM, it doesn't boot at all.&quot; I've tried that. However, I'm going to try the Infineon stick in another system and see if it works there. I highly doubt its defective, but we'll see...

    Infineon PC133 64RAM won't work in a Gateway Pentium II 266 system

    I want to install a new Infineon PC133 64meg SDRAM stick into an old Gateway system. The system already has a 64Meg DIMM stick. When I install the RAM, it POSTs fine, but does not recognize the new stick. When windows tries to load, it reboots right before it gets to the GUI. When I take out...

    hot deal? on Enlight ATX Mid Tower Case for $45

    Enlight makes the best cases, IMHO. I build computer systems, and Enlight is about all I use. I believe thats model 7237 (by the drive bays you listed). Enlight uses rail-based drive mounting so installing and removing is a breeze.
