Hello, Just a shot in the dark. Does anyone know of a screen saver program (scr) that would allow one to select a screen saver and a separate sound file (mp3, or wav) to play together? As an example I have a old program called "sounds with screensaver" that allows you to select a screensav...

Thanks for your help guys. I found a 3.5" extension. I removed it from a old case. The only problem was it had one side that I drilled 2 holes in for mounting purposes. Th other side had no way of securing it to the existing extension. I had to get creative and used a block of wood sitting unde...

Hello, I just built a new system that throws a little heat. I have 3 case fans (blowing air into the case) and one PCI blower installed to remove the hot air. I am running a AMD 3200+ and over 2GB's ram (dual channel). An ATI 512MB graphics card. I have a Maxtor SATA 150 hard drive with a hard drive...

Hello, I was just given a new Thermaltake Venus 7+ CPU Cooler. I would like to use it for my AMD Athlon 3000+, sitting on a Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939 motherboard. My question is for anyone experienced with this cooler or Thermaltake products. The cooler comes with a plastic mounting bracket (I'm guessin...

Hello, I just installed 2 new SATA 150 drives (Maxtor Diamond Max 9) in a Raid 0 configuration. My question is about the temp that they run at. It seems the drives are running at 42 degrees celsius, a little hotter that my old ATA/133 drives. Is this normal? I have been told in the past that SATA dr...

Thank you for everyones help and for the information. I guess it really does pay off in the long run to use a backup program like ghost or true image. Thanks again for your time and replies.

Hello, I am currently using a Western Digital 120GB ATA 133 hard drive. I have my operating system and programs on the drive. I use Norton Ghost to keep Ghost images of the drive in case of a crash or failure. I have a Gigabyte motherboard that has 2 SATA controllers with raid onboard. I am thinking...

Hello, I have a Gigabyte GA-K8NSC board. It has 2 com ports and on of them it won't let me install the driver (yellow exclamation mark). It says the device cannot find enough free resources to use. It is saying if I want to use it I need to disable another device. Does this have to do with IRQ's? It...

I will probably do a reinstall in a little while. I am kind of tired with getting this built. Thanks for your help.

I have it built and finished. AMD Athlon 3000+, Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939 board, nVidia GeForce 5500 256MB card, 1.5 Gigs of PC3200 Ram, WinXP Pro. Not the best but not bad. I have just one question, I am using the retail heatsink and fan with Artic Silver 5 paste. The CPU is running at 39 degrees c. Is...
