    Stick-on wheel weights

    I recently took my daughter's car in to have new aftermarket wheels mounted. The tire shop swapped over the original TPMS units to the new wheels, and used a Road Force balancing machine. The day after the new wheels were installed the car was washed, and then was parked in the garage for 10...

    Thought I found my next car, but then....

    ...disaster struck. Over the last few weeks I've been looking for a good used car, and have been primarily interested in something along the lines of a BMW/Audi/Infiniti, etc. between $20-25K. My HS-aged son works as a lot tech at a local BMW dealer, and they have been keeping an eye out for...

    Side panel fan - intake or exhaust?

    Corsair Carbide 400R case with Z68 mobo using onboard graphics, so no video card heat. CPU cooler is an Antec Kuhler 620 with Cougar PWM fans in push/pull. The case also has two Noctua PWM fans on the top panel for exhaust, and the stock rear Corsair 120 mm fan moved down to the bottom panel as...

    Audio problem with optical drive

    I recently did a new build with an ASUS P8Z68-V LX and 2500K. Up until today I had only ever used the optical drive to install the OS and other software. There were no issues with the drive doing this. Today, I was going to start ripping my CD collection, and the audio was garbling and...

    Opportunity to pick up an '03 330i ZHP

    The dealer where my son works just took in an excellent condition '03 330i ZHP as a trade-in for a new BMW 3 series, and I can snag it for a good price before it ever officially gets put on the used lot for sale. It's Imola Red with just under 74K miles. Only thing that needs attention are...

    Fan testing with Antec Kuhler 620

    I ordered a couple of Noctua NF-F12 fans last weekend, and they just showed up today, so I thought I'd do a little experimenting. The system is as in the sig, with the 2500K running at 42x103. All tests were run at the very high setting of IBT. The case is a Corsair 400R with the stock front...

    Good fans for push/pull with Corsair H100

    What fans would work well with the Corsair H100 kit? I've heard that the Corsair fans provided with the kit are on the loud side at full load, but I'd hate to have to change all four fans to have a push/pull configuration. Any recommendations from someone who has already done this?

    Shuttle SN41G2 and T-Birds

    The Shuttle site says that the SN41G2 and T-Birds are compatible, but I have read on a few other forums where people have had problems with them. Once the CPU was changed to a Thoroughbred the problems magically went away. Anybody have any first hand experience with this? My MSI K7T Turbo-R just...

    Motherboard for T-Bird 1200

    Well it looks like my MSI K7T Turbo-R took a gut-wrenching crap on me today. Need to find a decent motherboard to pop the T-Bird in that costs less than $70. I have 512 MB of both SDRAM and DDR memory available, so that is not a factor. This is in my "basement" machine that I use for music...

    Safe mode after installing Voodoo 5 drivers

    Everytime after installing the drivers for my Voodoo 5500 AGP card and rebooting the computer, it will go to safe mode. If using the standard VGA driver there are no problems. The card was installed after a fresh install of Win98 SE. The drivers are the 1.04.01 beta drivers. Motherboard has the...
