I want to build a PC that will kill and eat people
and there should be no evidence left.
How can I build such a murder-PC???

Just finished building a new box. I'm using a SATA HD, never used it before,
and the bios settings are a bit confusing.
I just have one HD, and want to boot with it. Can somebody here kindly
explain what I need to do? I have an Award bios, and also have the RAID

External things being equal, is the I/O performance of a motherboard
mostly determined by the chipset, or can the maker impact performance
(intentionally or otherwise) through other circuitry?
If it's entirely or primarily the chipset, which of Intel's current

I have a MAG 19 inch LCD monitor, LT916S bought half a year ago.
It worked fine but now there is a problem with it.
After working for 10 to 20 minutes, it goes black. If you turn it off and
then on agin, it will light up for about 2 seconds and then back to black.

I have an installation currently using a 10K Raptor, which is going
bad. I keep all my data on a second hardrive. I'm considering a raid
option for os and program files only.
I have a Norton Ghost image of my current setup. Can I recover this

What cases are out there with good airflow for sli and passively cooled
motherboard ?
I have seen the stack cooler sli certified thing... but it looks mega
complicated and completely overdone... like 10+ fans or what ?

I want to connect another case fan to my PC, but the 3 pin motherboard
socket is already used up by my VGA cooler controller.  What shall I
do?

Would someone please tell me what the AMD equivalent to the Intel 6600
(2.4GHz clock speed)......is it AMD 6000+, as an example  ?
HOw about the Intel 6420 and the 6700? (2.13 and 2.66 GHz clock speed,
respectfully)?

I am replacing motherboard, CPU and memory.
I have backed up my system, have all my drivers and have decided to do a
clean WindowsXP install if the box will even boot. ;-)
I have tried to do as much reading as possible on the procedure, but I have

I've got a question. I bought these components a couple of years ago, I
think, I just recently wondered if I should scrap them and get something
else. (mobo and CPU).
The mobo is K7n2 Delta 2 Plantinum MSI and the CPU is, I think, 3200 AMD,

How do you set jumpers to put a 2nd SATA drive into a system?  It has
been a while, last time I did this was with EIDE drives with a Master /
Slave settings.  Do you even have to move the jumpers?  For reference,
the 2nd drive is a WD 1600 JD with an 8-pin jumper block.

I am preparing to buy a few parts for a new system in my move to C2D.
Intel Board D975XBX2KR with an E6700 processor with 2 or even 4 gig Corsair
matched mem.
anyone running this setup and wish to comment good or bad.

I have a custom built PC, which has an intel core 2 processor (2.4 ghz i
think) 4 gb ram, 3 sata drives as a raid, and a radeon x1950xt.
The problem is my computer makes LOADS of noise when I try to play a game or
watch a video, and the temperature sits at 35 on the desktop, 40 when ...

I just bought an SiS 741GX-MN motherboard locally.  It's marketed as
"generic", no brand!  Shouldn't have done this.  I think CelSky makes it.
The boot-up says "S.M.A.R.T capable but disabled".  I would like to turn
SMART on, but there is NO ENTRY in the BIOS setup for SMART.

I have recently come across some LG monitors that have 3000:1 contrast
ratio with a response time of 2ms.  My planar PL190M( 3.5 years old) is
500:1 with 25ms.  My question is this...
What affect does the contrast ratio and response time have on performance?
