    40 => 44 pin laptop HD connector

    So I got the connector, but I'm not sure which way it goes. Rather than mess it up I figured I should ask. Anyone know? Pic here

    Antec P180 + OCZ Powerstream 520W?

    Ok, thanks for the replies. I ended up with the OCZ because a friend needed to sell it and gave me a deal on it. Noise levels seem ok to me. Just need a new case to fit it in.

    Antec P180 + OCZ Powerstream 520W?

    I'm thinking about getting the P180, but I'm not sure how it'll work with my PSU because of the weird positioning. Does anyone have this combo? The mobo is an Asus A8N-SLI Premium. Any suggestions for an alternative? I want something quiet.

    How Can I Stress My Computer?

    You really are looney. Just sell it, someone will probably pay $100 for it.

    Want to get a laptop, need help..

    A laptop should work fairly well for you then. I type much faster than I can write so it works great for me in classes such as history where there's lots of talk. Being able to use search to quickly find a topic that was discussed is pretty handy too.

    QFT. I just sold my 6800 regular for $130 on ebay. This is a great deal!

    Testing a PSU with a digital multi meter

    The chances are very low. You'd really have to be trying to cause a short.

    Also some of Toshiba's use it.

    Anybody try to overclock a dell?

    You may be able to OC a Dell using software such as clockgen. I've used it before to OC an HP. Generally, not as stable as overclocking with BIOS though, and doesn't always work. You know, there are dual core Opterons...In the OP's post he was talking about an Opteron 165, which is dual...

    Hard Drive copy very slow??

    Have you checked in BIOS to make sure the transfer mode is set to DMA (as opposed to PIO)?

    any B&M carry IBM thinkpads?

    Yep, I believe this is correct. I don't recall anywhere else selling them though.

    Quiet DVD burner?

    I've never noted HP or Dell's drives to be especially quiet. If they are though, it's probably just because they're forcing them to run at a lower speed.

    Amazon for me...Helps that I don't have to pay tax with them. Plus free shipping on over $25 orders.

    Help me choose between 2 notebooks *poll*

    I kind of agree with AmigaMan. Using a 1280x800 resolution these days is pretty painful for me. Though, aside from that factor and the better build quality of the Asus, it looks like the Dell would be better...

    What is the best chipset of all time in your opinion?

    I voted 440BX, though... This is extremely true. Also a great chipset...close second.

    Can I power up my mobo without a processor?

    I don't think it'll damage anything, but there's not any point to it. If it were me I'd just wait.

    Best laptop for law school... must have good keyboard

    Another happy IBM user here (T41p in my case). IBM has always had a very good reputation as far as keyboards go, certainly the case for my model. I'd recommend the T series if you want something with a slightly larger screen (14 or 15") and packs pretty good power into a small package (about 1"...

    New Lenovo Notebooks!

    Interesting. I just hope they keep the high quality business line with all the goodies from before. It's also possible to run OS X on PC's now, isn't it? I believe I heard that before...though I never looked into it as I have no use for running OS X.

    Favorite mp3 rip level??

    I rip at 192 lame so I don't use too much space. If I want better quality I generally use FLAC.

    FIXED.........Cleaned my video card and now my PC won't work

    This is true, though a dirty card will... a) run hotter b) have the life of the fans shortened Plus I was going to be selling my card, so I wanted to clean it up for the next owner. At any rate, I got my problems fixed. I'm not sure what the deal was with the mobo not going past post...but...
