    I have a Antec PP-412x 400 Watt power supply from a long time ago. That should be enough power to drive the processor and everything else, but is it compatible with the newer motherboards that support the quad cores??

    YACT: Replacing window seal on a civic?

    I have a burning smell coming from underneath the hood of my 88 camry. It's pretty strong because everytime I turn off the engine from driving and step outside, I can smell it. I checked the oil, radiator fluid, and the transmission fluid levels, and they all seem to be fine. Any of you uber...
