    How would nanotech work for practical applications

    My physics professor works on nanotech stuff: http://www.physics.berkeley.ed.../zettl/highlights.html He built the first nanotube radio receiver. Imagine putting that in some sort of nano"bot" and using it to control it (a la a remote control car)

    New build won't power up

    Ok, so I tried using the power supply from my computer (Enermax Liberty 400W), but that also did not work. However, I have a new problem. I tried plugging everything back into the computer I took it from, and now that won't turn on (same problem as the other computer). When I press the power...

    New build won't power up

    Yeah, I can push them, and they go fine. The fan hooked up to the case is not working either, so it might be the PSU. How would I know if it was the motherboard?

    New build won't power up

    Hello all, I just built a new PC. At first when i plugged it in and hit the power button, it turned on, but made a loud screeching noise (I forgot to plug in the PCI-E power plug for the video card). I turned it off, plugged the cable in, and powered on again. This time, nothing would come...

    Duo or Quad for 3d modeling?

    I have an 8800GTS for a GPU, I think that will be good enough. I was looking at Q6600 combo deals with motherboards, and I was wondering if I could get a cheaper mobo. Will that make a difference, especially since she will not be playing games on her computer?

    Hello all, I'm building a pc for my sister who will be using her computer for 3d modeling purposes (she is in architecture school. She will be using programs like Rhino, Maya, and AutoCAD. She also mentioned something about a program that renders things which usually takes hours, which has...

    Temperature discrepancy - e4400

    When I load my cpu with TAT it shows the temps at 60C. I've read that the max safe temp for e4400 is around 60C. If/when I OC, what should I use as a referencing point to see if it goes over that point, since theres no real accurate number?

    Temperature discrepancy - e4400

    Yeah, it says Tjunction is 100C. So that's good? I should be able to OC just fine then..?

    Temperature discrepancy - e4400

    Hi, I recently built a new rig, and had originally intended to overclock it. I've tried several cpu temp monitoring programs, and I'm confused with the results. I've heard Speedfan is off by 15C, but I've also heard that TAT is also wrong. Here are the results: RMClock - approx 30C...

    No video

    yeah i know that. i have a gigabyte 965p-ds3. my antec p180b doesnt have an internal speaker so i dont know if the computer is POSTing or not. I really have no idea how to tell, because my mobo doesnt have LED lights. Should I clear the CMOS?

    No video

    I have an Antec p180b, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have an internal speaker. =\ . Where could I find these status LEDs? To clear the CMOS, do I just pull the battery out?

    No video

    Tried that, doesnt work. Also: my keyboard lights dont flash. My pc doesnt have an internal speaker, so I cant tell if it POSTs or not If the cpu died, would the computer turn on? I really dont even know where to start looking for problems.

    I just built a new pc. I plugged everything in -- no video. The computer turns on -- I can hear all the fans going, etc. I tried 2 monitors... what's wrong? When i was installing my cpu fan, i was having some trouble, maybe I somehow killed it? I have a gigabyte 965P-DS3 mobo, geforce...

    P180b power cable problem

    http://www.pixelusa.com/catalo...il.asp?id=CB-PO-000008 is that right? edit: yes its the 4 pin. On my enermax liberty, it says "For CPU".

    P180b power cable problem

    Hey guys, This is the first time I've built a computer, and I bought an Antec P180B along with an Enermax Liberty PSU. Now, one of the problems I'm having is that I can't get the 12v cable that plugs in next to the cpu into its slot, since the power supply is on the bottom. I've been trying...

    One last thing: I found this deal on Fry's and was wondering if it was better than the other Antec. http://shop3.outpost.com/product/4843800

    Need help with my new school computer

    I'm not actually worried about using the case for more computers, since if I decide to build later on, I'll probably just get a new case. Does the Mambo have good air flow? As of now, I'll probably be using a 17" CRT I bought 2 years ago, but I will upgrade later.

    Another thing, I'm looking at the case, and I wonder if I really need a $70 case. I've been looking around and I want to know if I could get one of these instead: http://shop4.outpost.com/produ...sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG http://shop4.outpost.com/produ...sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG Since I'll...

    Need help with my new school computer

    Do you guys think I could get the e4400 up to 2.4 ghz with the stock cooler? What is a good cooler for under $50?

    Need help with my new school computer

    alright, sounds good i guess. Is 2.4Ghz the max safest speed for a e4400? Also, I really only need about 120gb of hard drive space... any suggestions for a cheaper price?

    Need help with my new school computer

    Do you think I could keep the case/ power supply I listed on there? Also, the e4400 seems kind of older technology, and since I'm not an "uber hardcore gamer" (though I do like to play games a lot), is it better to do the e6600/ geforce 8600gts combo, or the e4400/8800 gts combo? The fact that...

    Need help with my new school computer

    I chose it because it was one of the cpu/motherboard combos on newegg. Of the few there were, it seemed to be the best option. I know its probably not the absolute best choice for OCing, but idk. If anyone can suggest a better option for around the same price as the combo ($483 USD including...

    Need help with my new school computer

    I'm in the process of building my first computer. I've picked out my parts and need to know if everything is okay. I'm not really sure what to do in terms of hard drive technology (SATA and all that business) and power supplies, so any info would be great. -Kingston 2GB DDR2 PC2-6400...
