    Ask me your MCE questions.

    I would like to know how to set the SKIP & BACK buttons. It seems like the skip is preset at 30 seconds and the back is preset at 10 seconds. I would like to customize them. Thanks

    XP only starts with boot CD

    The other weird thing is the computer does not power up properly meaning that I cannot turn it on using the Power button. It only turns on if I switch off and then on the actual PSU power. Any thoughts?

    XP only starts with boot CD

    When powering up my computer, the computer is stuck in load mode and asks for the Boot CD (XP CD) before it can get to the XP OS. Any suggestions?

    Setting up the Buffalo G Router

    After reading some posts, I decided to purchase the Buffalo G Router since my Netgear G Router is better off frying eggs than keep a stable connection after three years... I am a novice to networking so I need step by step instructions to getting the most out of this router. DD-WRT or...

    ~HOT~ Logitech G9 $64.98 AR at Buy.com

    I took the plunge with GCO so I brought it down to $55.xx It is an AWESOME mouse. I am not sure what else you could possible look for in a mouse to be honest. Feel is great. The whole MX series were great because they were big and fit my hands but I noticed that my palm would rest off...

    ~HOT~ Logitech G9 $64.98 AR at Buy.com

    Buy.com is an online retailer that should work with the Logitech rebate. I was on the phone with Logitech and they mentioned them. I bought a MX518 at Target on clearance. It's seemed too light for my taste so I may just go ahead and buy the G9 without sampling it since people who have...

    Reviews on Logitech G7 Cordless

    Thanks guys, here is the deal G7 As for the 2nd thumb button, it appears that is has a pinky button instead. I do not view that as a deal killer. I am tempted, I too have the LX700 right now. It's been a great mouse, the battery is starting to die but I can go at least a couple days...

    Any thoughts on how this is as a gaming mice? I know people say any self-respecting gamer would never use a cordless. Any personal reviews? I found a great deal on buy.com for one.

    Own Every ID game (except quake4, since that's Raven) ever.

    Hey, before you guys get into a pissing match and make this thread useless. Someone explain to me how we can get games that we already own to work with Steam. I haven't tried moving Quake 1 into the Steam folder yet but I will try that when I get home.

    Own Every ID game (except quake4, since that's Raven) ever.

    I got the Steam announcement too but my question is if you already own some of these games, how can you get it connected to the Steam network? I was a diehard Quake 1 gamer and I have Quake 1 running in my system now but it does not show up on my Steam list of games. For $9.95, it seems...

    Can you turn on desktop remotely?

    I am using a desktop (Windows OS) with a monitor that serves as essentially as an electronic bulletin board. I have gotten some concern from the building maintenance people regarding leaving the desktop on 24/7. Right now, it is above the ceiling tiles of a hallway. This desktop only needs...

    mp3 music buzzes when trying to play

    CD drive is not the problem because I have issues with mp3 files I obtain from over the internet. So there isn't an issue with ripping CDs, plus when I put them in my portable mp3 player, I have no issues playing them from my car. So it leaves either the sound card or the speakers...I do...

    i have $800-850 now, need advice on building desktop

    If you want to go cheaper, you can get AMD Athlon 64 CPU. There are some great combo deals with mobo out there now. I have an extra 939 heat sink fan I can sell you if you decide to go down that route. You can get a cheaper video card too. A 256mb PCI-E card can be had for $150 or less...

    mp3 music buzzes when trying to play

    My sound quality seems to buzz when I play mp3 above a certain volume level. I am not sure what it could be. I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS & Logitech x530 speakers. The weird thing is that I have a TV tuner and I play DVD on my computer as well. Those two are perfectly normal...

    Please Recommend a Micro ATX mobo

    Another thing about the temp. The microfly case is set up pretty good in terms of air flow. It has a 120mm fan in the back and it has I think a 80mm fan in the front. Those things suck it out very well. People have said the Ultra Microfly case is a replica of another popular micro atx...

    Please Recommend a Micro ATX mobo

    Temp is not an issue, it runs fine (30c's?). I have a pretty good after market 939 HSF on it. I have this placed into an Ultra Microfly Case. Space is pretty tight. The one thing is that they made the case easy to access parts around the mobo & even slide out the mobo. The reason why I got...

    Please Recommend a Micro ATX mobo

    I purchased the mobo discussed on this thread. However, I have been having problems with the boot. It needs the XP CD to boot the OS properly. I am seeking some guidance in the mobo forums. I haven't had a chance to work on it in a while but the mobo seems okay.
