Last night I took a computer out of my equipment closet so I could install Ubuntu 11.10 on it. I opened it up to make sure that everything was there and used some compressed air to blow out the dust. I plugged it in and sparks flew. There was a series of sparks and loud pops and the smell of...
So now I have two of these on two different macines and I have to say I love them. They really do the job of cooling the CPU and are extremely quiet. Sometimes I have to put my ear to the machine to verify it is running. I can't get over how quite the machine has gotten. The only drawback...
I am making some changes to my system and don't want to reinstall Windows 7 64 bit. So I had Windows running with 2 drives in a RAID 0 set up. Now I want to run with just one drive configured as AHCI. I cloned the RAID drives over to a single SSD and changed the BIOS to AHCI and rebooted but...
So I need some thermal grease for my CPU Cooler. I have changed it and removed it a few times and need some new grease because now I am out. I used the stuff that came with my Thermalright Venomous X and liked it but what does everyone else like/use? What is the best stuff out there?

Dell stinks! On June 26th I ordered a new Dell Adamo laptop direct from Dell. The expected ship date was supposed to be July 6th. When they confirmed the order the date had moved to July 7th. I went for two day shipping so I was expecting to receive it on July 9th. On July 8th I received an...
I haven't been here for a while. What happened to the seperate sub-forums for the Dell laptops and netbooks? There used to be one for almost each flavor. Are they here somewhere and I just don't know where to look?
