I use an internal SATA drive for data backup and also use a PCIe slot for a wireless card. However, I've also been thinking about getting an Intel NUC or an equivalent for my next computer since I like the idea of the small size versus this big box sitting on my desk.

Thanks for posting the solution and am glad you got this sorted out. Cheers.

I've read that using alcohol to clean a computer screen is a bad idea. Since you all seem to have had good results with using alcohol as a cleaner, I won't argue the point further. Some links to a couple of my sources (that are apparently incorrect) are...

I don't use cleaning wipes. A towel lightly dampened with plain old water gets the job done and is a lot cheaper.

I don't think using alcohol on a computer screen is a very good idea.

Have you looked at Adobe Photoshop Elements? The 2020 version on Amazon sells for about $100 no monthly fees. Or you could download GIMP for free.

Thanks. It's good to know I can go back if needed.

I like to keep my system up to date but I've read that there are an unusually high amount of issues with the version 2004 update. I am just wondering if anyone here that updated to version 2004 experienced any issues. Windows Update shows I am ready to download and install this new version, but...

This is the safe mode setting in Boot options in msconfig. You might want to see if it has been set somehow.

Question: You mention wanting the i5 quad core with hyper-threading. Does Intel make one? I found only the i5-4570T Processor but Intel shows 2 cores on their spec sheet. http://ark.intel.com/products/75045/Intel-Core-i5-4570T-Processor-4M-Cache-up-to-3_60-GHz I'd be interested to know if...

A quick lookup shows these general measurements.

The main problem with your choices is the CPU is not compatible with the motherboard. That board is made for AMD CPU's sockets AM3/AM2+/AM2, and the CPU you chose is an Intel with socket LGA 1156.

That motherboard will need DDR3 memory. You picked DDR2.

I just upgraded to the exact same board and processor with 4GB of G.Skill Trident ram. It is a nice setup.

LOL. Maybe you never have passengers because they would prefer vehicles with doors to keep them feeling a bit safer. :D

Sorry epidemik, the Firefly remote is sold. However, I do have an ATI Remote Wonder that has been used very little. Same price of $20.00 if you are interested. I also have a couple of TV tuner PCI cards just filling my closet if anyone is interested. ATI TV Wonder 200 Huappauge WinTV...

I have one that's used but in great condition. If you're interested, I'll sell it for $20.00. You'll need to supply your own batteries though.

I noticed the same thing with my camera as well. Also, audio CD's, movie DVD's, my Sansa MP3 player and even my old Zip Drive all just seem to work with no fussing or tweaking. If they keep this up, Ubuntu just might be a serious competitor for Windows.

I just upgraded from Ubuntu version 08.04 to 08.10. It took quite a while for all of the downloads, and I was a little worried about my wireless internet and wireless printing functions, but both work great without any tweaking whatsoever. I did notice that downloading the Nvidia 3D driver was...

Thank you for your good explanation and the education on this. :)
