    Problems with signing up with hotmail account?

    I've actually ditched hotmail recently, they haven't figured out how to use anti spam. They were letting too much spam in before, and now they've gone too far on the other side and deleting some messages on sight and move many legitimate messages to the spam box. My website's contact form...

    Does anyone use flash drives any more?

    I remember 4 years ago when I was in college, flash drives were all the rage, but then people kept leaving the drive plugged into the computer and walking away causing them to lose their work. My brother works for a pharmaceutical company, and he represents many different brands and his car is...

    Multiple HDD

    Opinion differens on who you ask. I personally have all my windows and small software on my 'OS drive' and keep large software, documents, storage stuff like downloads on a secondary drive. Bascally I expect the windows drive to get blown out quicker than my storage drives, so I keep the stuff...

    New PC - comments?

    Your spec is sound, and should be fine for web development. I guess the most powerful software you're going to use is dreamweaver or fireworks and that system would run those applcation withoiut a hiccup. I would prefer to just use the onboard lan to hardjack the desktop machine into the router...

    Need help on how to repair laptop buttons (not keyboard!)

    Sound to me that you may have spilt some juice on it, the #1 culprit for sticky keys. Do what Ghostman1 says, use a USB mouse for now. you will need someone competent to open up the laptop to get to the mouspad, and wipe the sticky sugar off from underneath the keys in order to fix it.

    Can I use my current powerunit on my new mobo/cpu?

    I wouldn't be so sure, it depends on your set up, how powerful your graphics hard is, how many drives, pc cards you have on, how many fans etc. 400W is really on the low end.

    Can i remove the front part of my case and add fans?

    Would be a pretty mean fan placement. Althioug if you ask me I'd just buy an antec case which is premodded with all the fan mounts you can wish for. Correct me if I'm wrong but that looks like a stock case?

    23 " Cinema HD display

    I saw a couple of LED monitors in my local computer store, they were made so thin that they didn't have vesa mounts at the back. I hang my monitor off the wall with a vesa mount as I have a small desk and need to create as much space on the desk as possible. This was one of my annoyances with...
