    Sufficient PSU for SFF?

    I ended up with the NSK1380 and am quite happy with it. It's actually not as noisy as I thought. I considered replacing the PSU fan with a quiter one but the unit is actually quite enough. Even the stock cpu cooler stayed... lol. All in all one happy customer here. Thanks for all your...

    Sufficient PSU for SFF?

    great feedback, guys, thanks a lot. I'm going with an E8500 dual-core which only has 65W instead of the 95W quad-core. this should make it easier to keep the case cool and quit as Brainonska511 suggested. That is, unless somebody can tell me where to find a Socket P motherboard .... :)

    Sufficient PSU for SFF?

    i usually have a lot of apps open such browsers, email (outlook), photo editing software, as well as VMWare Workstation which on the current machine spins the hard drive all the time. With 8GB I hope to limit hard drive activity. I do not intend to play any high-end games with this unit.

    Sufficient PSU for SFF?

    I'm trying to build a new SFF based on an Asus P5Q-EM mobo with 8GB of RAM. I will add a 150GB hard drive as well as an ordinary DVD-ROM. I found a cheap case made by "IN WIN", the IW_BT610T.300BL, which houses a 300W PSU. My concern is adequate power. Is 300W enough to drive the mobo and a...

    Separate XP/Vista Installation on one drive

    There is plenty of information out there about how to set up a dual-boot with XP and Vista. The result is that XP sees the Vista partition and vice versa. That's not what I want. I want two comletely independent installations of either OS; XP should not see the Vista install, and Vista should...

    Wireless Print Server with Canon i9900

    I don't think I'm even that far. When I talked to the Linksys tech, he told me to hold the reset button for 3 seconds and check the printout. But, the printer did not respond. So I don't know how much a driver update would do if the communication between the printer and print server does not...

    Networked PC can be seen but not accessed by host name

    could it have something to do with permission rights? one of the error messages was the user name could not be found. I am using a different login name for the laptop. If that is the case, why does it work when I use the IP address instead of the host name? And I cannot give specific user...
