I am only using one hard drive, and I have a front fan at the bottom. There are several slots to choose from when installing the hard drive. For cooling purposes, what is the best location?

Thanks StrangleHold!

I'm looking at this LG drive and this LG OEM drive (both have the same product number, UH10LS20). The OEM version is $5 cheaper. The pictures of the retail version include a photo with screws, cables, a manual and CD-ROM. The OEM version doesn't have this picture. If I buy the OEM version, will...

I'm making plans to build my own rig using the AMD Athlon X4 with the Gigabyte 880GA mobo. I need to decide what case to use. Will any ATX case for sale at Newegg work? I currently have a Dell Dimension 5100, and it apparently only has one fan. It sits in front of the CPU heatsink, sucks air...

I'm not very tech savvy, but I've decided to try to build my own PC anyway. I want to build it around the AMD Athlon II X4 with the Radeon HD 5450 graphics card. I plan to use the PC for regular Internet surfing, watching Blu-ray movies, and light gaming. My budget is about $750 including tax...

I'm thinking about re-installing Windows XP on my machine. I found the product key on a sticker on my computer, but I can't find the the XP discs. How do I re-install Windows without the discs?

Okay, this is what I have done since my original post: I ran Auslogics Disk Defrag and Auslogics Registry Cleaner. I ran SpeedFan. It showed "HD0" at 29C-36C depending on how long the computer had been running. I then opened the case and pulled out the RAM boards. I wasn't able to pull out...

Why is the AMD considered the better processor? AMD = 2.20ghz, whereas Celeron = 2.66ghz

Four years ago, my desktop PC was quick. When Windows started up, it took about 5 seconds for the Firefox browser to open; but now it's about 1 minute. Also, when I play a video in VLC Media Player the playback can freeze, although the audio continues. I can hear the computer grinding at these...
