Hi, does anyone know, where to get an Altair 8800 or IMSAI 8080 (like) computer, rebuild or (hardware-based) emulator? Thanks in advance, Dominik Heidler

Hi all, I recently purchased the Altec Lansing 251 Speaker System and have come across a problem. The front right speaker (*with the controls on it) emits no sound whatsoever. I have gone through my internal PC settings (START SETTINGS CONTROL PANEL SOUNDS) to make sure all settings are in...

I know that I've seen software that will let you reprogram the keys on your keyboard, including the media keys, etc... There was a really great program that I tried out, but didn't work with my keyboard going through a PS/2 converter... But I can't recall what it was called. I even emailed back...

Hi! I currently have installed into my PC an MSI 8606 TV Tuner, FM reciever and IR remote. The software that came with the card stinks (to put it politely). I also have an ATI PCI TV Wonder card here on my desk that really sucks to install. The software is a bit better once it's working, but there...

My Sony VAIO (Slimtop PCV-L640) keeps rebooting halfway through Win2k bootup. The interrnal CD is dead (way to expensive to replace) as well as the internal floppy. Is there an alternative boot method, or a way to access my HD? Also, my BIOS doesn't seem to support booting from USB. I'm trying...

I have a feeling that there's either an IRQ conflict on my computer or that the driver for the Dell 1025tm (similar to Sony CPD-200gs) is causing monitor power problems. The power light and screen flicker on and off every few minutes. Is there any other driver for this monitor that can be used...

I need to upgrade the power supply of an SC5200 Base (450W) chassis, the only Intel option is to buy the SC5200 HS Server Chassis (650W 2+1,Hot Swap,RPSU Ready) which is a bit expensive. Is there any power supplies out there that have the same dimensions of the standard 450W PSU in the base...

After having DSL for many years, Verizon installed the 50/50 double play FIOS yesterday (I got Internet and phone only, no tv nor plan to anytime soon). They also provided the Fios G1100 router, but I'd prefer to use my own. I currently had a Netgear N300 left over from another use and I have...

I use the PC for long periods and find my arm and shoulder feeling the strain. Any tips for relieving this and do you know of any different types of mice that may help. Thanks Phil

Hi, I have started looking for a new case. I have looked at Antec and the Sonata meets my needs. At what comparable cases might I look? The requirements are, quiet easy to work in

Bit off topic..but it is needed to control the Hardware. I'm FED UP with the Nero CD/DVD burning software. I've been using version 6 for a long time & I have just tried new version 8. Its horrid (version 8) with the classic signs of a release that does not really have anything usefully new to...

Hi, I did not buy a new version of Norton Internet security for a couple of years now ever since I switched to ZoneAlarm for firewall protection since it is much easier to use then Norton, works just as well, and FREE! I am looking for a piece of software that does the following features...

Hi, When you buy a retail athlon, with the heatsink and fan, do you need to put any more of the grey gueewy stuff (whatever it's called) on the bottom of the heatsink? My heatsink has a nice little pacth about an inch square on the botton and I'm wondering that's enough? Thanks Paul

what's the difference between the athlon64 and the opetron? is it worth upgrading from a 1.7 ghz with a 400mhz bus i was thinking of getting the "Tyan Thunder K8W" (pci-x is a must) is this good? how out of date is that mobo? and lastly can i use it leaving one of the dual sockets empty?

Hi, Does anyone make a 3.5" - 5.25" mounting cradle (bay converter) with a (preferable brushed) aluminium fascia (to roughly match my case - Lian Li PC70)? Actually I don't mind so much if it's not aluminium, so long as it's not the dreaded beige. It's for a 3.5" Vantec fan controller that I've...

Hi all, why is it said that never place a motherboard on a sheet of aluminium foil ?

I have 1GB OCZ PC3200 Dual Channel EL DDR EEC registered and I wanted to add another, so I ordered an indentical kit (I made sure the part numbers were identical). However, although the system POSTs, Windows (XP Pro SP2) doesn't like it. The errors ( 0x0000004E: PFN_LIST_CORRUPT;...

Can anyone figure out the difference between http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80726-1 and http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80726-R? One is $481, the other is $458! They both seem to be the X2 4400+, but one has a link to where you can get a...

I was removing my cpu cooler and broke the plastic frame that mounts the cooler. I've checked a few places for a replacement, but it doesn't seem to be distributed seperately. Does anyone know of a place that supplies hard to find parts like this? I've got an Intel Midway P4 motherboard. I would...

I've had this problem awhile but it seemed to be getting worse. My computer pretty much wipes out my AM radio (FM unaffected). All the wall sockets in my room are on the same circuit so I'm out of luck moving the radio. Now... I expect the AM radio to go bonkers if the system is on but this happens...
