    Dell 2405WFP

    I just looked on eBay and all of the completed auctions for this model are $200+ (including shipping). hmmmm... Are current TN panels considered superior to the VA panel in the Dell?

    Dell 2405WFP

    Hi all, I am in putting together a gaming rig to be used in a couple of months and am looking for a good display. I have decided to probably go with a something in the 23-24" range. I don't really have a budget per se, but want a good bank for the buck for whatever I get. Well, tonight my...

    Quality of Dell PSU

    Well, I guess I won't be getting the Dell PSU after all. Not because of fears of reliability or performance, but because it does not have a 4 pin CPU power connector (the XPS used a 24 pin AND a 20 pin connector for systemboard/CPU power apparently). I will have to find something else then...

    Quality of Dell PSU

    Hi all, I am wanting to convert an older PC into a capable gaming machine by making a handful of necessary upgrades. It is a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop w/ Q6600, 4GB RAM, and ATI 2400. The only thing I really need to upgrade is the video card (haven't decided on what kind yet), but this...

    File transfer over the internet

    Total data is close to 2TB. I mainly want to be able to download movies or tv shows while traveling so file size will be around 700MB on average. Right now, I can't change any firewall settings since I don't know the username and password for the device on the other end. When you say getting...

    File transfer over the internet

    Hi all, I bought a new desktop recently and decided to turn my old one into a home server. I have ordered a copy of Windows Home Server on the way, but was going to set up the computer as an online file server in the meantime. I followed a tutorial online but could not get the server to...

    New CPU issue

    I finally figured out what the problem was. According to online sources, the BIOSes ABIT released that support 45nm processors for this mobo have problems reading the temps of these processors. I had to disable overheating shutdown in the BIOS to boot into Windows. CoreTemp shows a temp of 31...

    New CPU issue

    Well, I tried re-seating the heatsink and cleared the CMOS and that did not work. I put in the E5200 again, and noticed that as soon as I boot the computer and go into the BIOS it reads 98C. With the P4, it reads 25C in the BIOS. Could that make this a motherboard problem>

    New CPU issue

    Is is possible to apply too much thermal paste between the CPU and heatsink, so much that it actually decreases cooling performance? I realize now that both CPU's are getting hotter than they should.

    New CPU issue

    Hi all, Today I started putting some parts together for a HTPC and have ran into some troubleshooting issues. I bought most of my parts here on the forums and was going to pair an Abit IP35-E mobo with a E5200 processor. However, when I first tried the build I could not get it to work and...
