    New SFF Gaming PC

    Unfortunatly I have a few esata enclosures kicking around so until I get around to changing those having an esata port is handy. Actually one of the reasons I considered the h60 is that the FT03-Mini is built so you attach the radiator to the bottom of the case where the case fan actually cools...

    New SFF Gaming PC

    Honestly I mainly wanted it for the esata port and the built in wifi would have just been a bonus. The ram was mainly since it was compatible with the board. Psu is not optional since it has to be sfx, its actually one of the items that would benefit the most from price matching saving $20 or...

    New SFF Gaming PC

    I figured it probably would be somewhat overkill, which is why I'm waffling on which way to go. Btw I'm looking at the FT03-Mini which is itx and the other reason I'm more concerned about silverstone's blower style recommendation. I'm just not sure about the quality of the powercolor 7870...

    Bootup problems

    Brownish gunk on top of a couple of big caps on motherboard would be them leaking right? If that is the problem how bad would not replacing the motherboard right away be. Can't really afford a whole new system yet, but don't want to sink too much money into such an old system. When the caps...

    Bootup problems

    Drivers are all up to date. Selecting safe mode doesn't resolve the problem either. Like I said it usually either finally starts up properlly after a random number of reboots or I have to switch system off and try again later. I don't have any spare components lying around, is their any other...

    Bootup problems

    Hi was wondering if anybody might have an idea as to what might be causing this. I have a fairly old p4 desktop that occasionally has trouble at startup where it gets to the xp loading screen and then restarts the whole bootup sequence again. Theres no pattern to how many times it reboots...
