I have to write a Visual Basic 6.0 Program and need to uniquely identify a
computer in a network and the user mustn't be able to change that id while my

Quality black ATX case by
@drian
Can anyone recommend a quality black case with 120mm fan mounts and
provisions to cool two fast hard drives? Full or mid tower is fine. I've
tried the Antec Sonata but didn't like it as it didn't provide sufficient
cooling for the hard drives.
Thanks.
@drian.

How can I check to see if they...

Thermal paste by
-
Does using thermal paste on the CPU really make a great deal of difference
in conducting heat to be dissapated? What sort of temperature differences
are we talking about between using an average thermal paste and a CPU using
no paste whatsoever?
