I have 3 PSUs from old systems of mine that are collecting dust. -550W modular died and took my motherboard and RAM with it. -550W that just stopped providing main power and left everything intact. -450W (still working) that had an electrical whine in one of the capacitors so I replaced it...

If you ever got so pissed at something, someone, or a company in general, post pictures of the aftermath/destruction here. I just want to see what else gets destroyed due to technological frustration. 80GB ipod video, don't even ask for the story behind this.... P.S. It was broken before...

Does anyone know where the setting is to stop the auto-scale on windows that get dragged to the screens edge? I am used to XP so I haven't had a chance to check out all the settings for the new features but I'm getting there.

I purchased this motherboard around a year ago. http://www.e-itx.com/msi-fuzzy-945gm1-ms-7265.html I got the Intel Celeron M520 1.6GHz, 1MB Cache processor and 512MB of RAM. The system outperformed all of my expectations and the onboard video is quite impressive. I played quake 3 online with...

I bought a ASUS AH3450/HTP/256M Radeon HD 3450 256MB 64-bit GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X HDCP Ready Low Profile Video Card - Retail. This card was extremely cheap and I am using it to replace a dead card in my 933MHz server tower. I bought some RAM and the GPU at the same time. Now I have been searching...
