    Antec Sonata II PSU making high pitch noise

    Do I have to pay for shipping back to Antec? I got the RMA number tonight. I will wait till I install the new PSU before sending the bad one back.

    Antec Sonata II PSU making high pitch noise

    What about this PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustratingReview.asp?Item=N82E16817153023 I think it is better than the Antec I have right? I should not have problem with this setup right: DFI LanParty Ultra-D. AMD Vince 3000+, 1G of Ram and ATI x800xl, 1 DVD Rom and 1 DVD-RW.

    Antec Sonata II PSU making high pitch noise

    Thanks a lot for all the help and suggestion. I still don't know if I should use the replacement from Antec or get a new one. Somebody said that Antec fixed this particular PSU problem. My main concern: the PSU is still working, however, will it do any damage to any hardware since it is...

    Antec Sonata II PSU making high pitch noise

    I believe it is my PSU since as soon as I switch the on/off switch to on position, I can hear this high pitch noise going from low pitch to high pitch. Also, I put my ear next to the PSU and I can hear it. Any other ways to really make sure? Also, the PSU fan on the Anten psu is blowing to...

    Antec Sonata II PSU making high pitch noise

    Thanks! I don't want to spend a tons of money. I would say anything in the $60 to $70. I am out of the hardware loop for a while. I saw some of the PSU have fan on the top and some on the side. The Antec one that comes with Sonata II is on the side (that's what I see). Can I get the ones...

    Antec Sonata II PSU making high pitch noise

    But it never did that before. Even if the PC is not on but the PSU is on, it makes that high pitch noise. How does Antec warranty work? Do they send me a new one without me sending the old one back? My main concern is that if it will harm the hardware inside the box.

    Antec Sonata II PSU making high pitch noise

    I have had my Antec Sonata II for about 1 1/2 years. I leave my PC on 24 x 7. For the past 2 days, even if my PC is off, but plug into AC outlet, the PSU is making some high pitch noise. If I switch the on/off switch on the PSU from off the on, the high pitch noise goes from low to high. I...

    What do you think about this laptop? HP DV6105US

    I am tempted to buy it. However, it only has 512M of RAM and no card reader or firewire. What are your thoughts on this? I need to act quick since the deal is over in 2 days or my local OD runs out. link: http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?level=SK&id=924789&N=265461&An=browse Thanks

    It was running at native. It is not blocky or anything...it is just fuzzy for some reasons. I checked all settings and it just doesn't look sharp.

    G7 battery life decreasing

    I had the same situation about a year ago with my MX1000 acting up. I said that was the only mouse I had. They told me to buy a new mouse. I said why would I want to spend money to buy a new mouse while you are shipping me a new one! So, at the end, I insisted Logitech to send me a new one...

    What new car should I buy? $20-35K

    I heard too many reliability issues with Audi as well. The new ones look very attractive, but I don't want to drive a rental all the time while it sits at the dealership to be fixed. I think I want a 4WD as well and I do like the new CR-V.

    [Poll] What language to learn

    If you search online for OOP or Object Oriented Programming, I am sure there are a lot of sites that can explain how to do it. Also, read up on Design Pattern as well so that you know how to design/architect your objects. I hope this helps.

    [Poll] What language to learn

    kelnoen, I hope you won't get offended. VB is not really OOP language. It has Objects, but not Object Oriented. C++, Java, C#, VB.Net are OOP languages, but not VB. I would say Java, C# or VB.NET would be good. It might be easier to do VB.NET for now since you know VB already, syntax is...

    AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 (retail, not OEM) + 250GB Seagate HD $200 @ Newegg.com

    DEAD: AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 San Diego 2.6Ghz Socket 939 - $139 @ Newegg!

    I put together my AMD 939 system with 3000+ Venice core last August. Since then, I haven't followed the hardware world for a while. How much gain are we talking about between 939 3000+ and this CPU? I have the DFI LanParty mobo. Do you think I can overclock my 3000+ to match this CPU? Or it...

    Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000: $29.95AR (with Google Checkout)

    Question: I can't find this order under Buy.com even though Google Checkout status says it was shipped. Do you think I can still get the $15 rebate since the rebate form says it has to be purchased from Buy.com. What do you think?

    Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000: $29.95AR (with Google Checkout)

    I finally got it. I had to completely logout in order to get to the sign-in screen. That's where the Google Checkout is. Nice deal. It is the best webcam you can get so far as far as I know or have read about. Everywhere is selling it for above $60. $29 is a steal! Thanks OP.

    Easiest way to do massive backup?

    Yep, that's what I do. I bought a 300G ATA Seagate drive and an external HD enclosure. Schedule Nero backup to do a backup every monday night at 11:00PM. Schedule Outlook to remind me to turn on the external HD at 10:30PM.
