Now when the box is powered up, all the drives and fans ect. run fine but the Board will not report. Nothing nada no Beep...

    Dell FP2001 & Viewsonic VP201B

    Looks like Dell is back up around 675 or so. I think I'm sold on the View Sonic also. Havn't seen one yet but I Love the reviews I'm reading on it. I was going to get the ViewSonic VP912B for the 12Ms but after comparing a 19" to a 20" side by side......well. I think 16Ms is going to work just...

    Dell 2001fp vs Viewsonic VP201b

    I had the same problem as Akira34 in finding the Refresh rate on the Dell. All the reviews list it as a 16Ms but Dell gave it no rating at all. Not sure why really....I mean a 20" LCD with a 16Ms Refresh....you want to brag about that. Right?

    This review came at the perfect time for me. I was looking to buy tyhe 201B but I just noticed that the Dell's are selling for $599. Seems like a great price. Is anyone offering a deal on the Viewsonic? If not, is the $200ish price differance worth the perforance differance?

    Sound Card or Headphone Amplifier

    Thank You allfor your opinions. I guess I have alot to think about. I need to get updated on current sound cards. As for the headphones, well I was looking at the HD 555 and was leaning towards them but the 595's caught my eye. I might compromise on the 580's (or 590's I think they changed the...

    Sound Card or Headphone Amplifier

    Sorry I guess I left out a few details. I was looking at the HD 580's or HD 595's. I am using my Onboard Audio which is a Abit AN7 board with NVidia sound. I was planing on upgrading to a sound card but wasn't sure if I needed the Amp or if there was a sound card that would do the same or...

    I just bought a MX 700 Logitech Mouse. I installed the included "MouseWare" software and was bummed when I realized that I can't select "Delete" for a mouse button option. You have to pick a choice off thier list. Does anyone know how I might be able to add a Key ? I thought about Rebinding one...

    XP Pro Vs. XP Home

    I just built a computer for a friend and he bought XP Pro. Recentley his co-Workers in the IT Dept told him that Home was much better for gaming because Pro had extra DLLs running.

    Western Digital HD's Refurb now @ Newegg.com

    Your right. I crawled in that box and found it is a "Quantum Fireball 40GB Plus AE" (Was in another Manufactures box when I bought it Western or Maxtor, can't remember now). My SE drive is a 80 and much newer. Which kinda makes me feel a little bit worried that I just bought 2 of the SE's. Hmmmm...

    Western Digital HD's Refurb now @ Newegg.com

    Can't seem to get the link to open. Newegg has been a reliable source for me for refubs. I'm cool with um, you take a chance, but everytime I have been happy and richer. If something is fishy then it can always be sent back.

    Changing CPU or Overclocking a k6

    I missed the X2=X6. hmmm a 400 would be worth it I guess. About a 50% incress. The funny thing on this whole project was my line of thinking "Never upgraded a laptop before, always wanted to" OK so now it will be a 400....... good enough. Untill I can find something else to take apart.
