My bad luck runs with the notebooks, they are just crapping out - pcmcia slots dying, oh, and one time a windows update crashed my os requiring a reformat (this probably isn't restricted to dell computers, but i still like to blame it on dell), besides, dell tends to load most of their computers...

If done correctly, it can be done for a little over $1,000. maybe closer to $2,000 if you get all top-of-the-line items such as liquid cooling, which is always a plus. I've personally never built a computer, but as long as you have an old one so you can see what you basically need, it shouldn't...

I once read somewhere why it's 1024 and not 1000. apparently is has to do with this: The Decimal System is a base 10 number system that uses ten digits (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9). 1000 is attained as follows: 1 x10 = 10 x 10 = 100 x 10 = 1000 (kilo) The Binary System is a base 2 number system that...

hmmm, sounds like you're not even connected to the wireless router - otherwise you would at least be sending packets, even if you were not able to get online. so is everything working now it sounds like?

haha, yes, i would also avoid dell, i've had bad luck with them in the past. building from scratch is definately the way to go if you're looking for a beast. too bad i don't know enough about this, otherwise I would have done it myself.

It all depends what you will be using the computer for. I have a pentium d, and it works great for all my photoshopping and video editing, as well as various other tasks, all running at the same time. Keep in mind that RAM plays an important role in the performance of a pc, too..

I have wireless all through the house - more details of your problem may help in solving it.. I may be able to be of some assistance to you.

I use photoshop fairly regularly, but I honestly don't know very much at all about masks, although it seem slike this is the way you would go about doing it..

I generally use winamp for everything I can, but does anyone know how to use it to play dvds, or vcds(which i cannot figure out outside of wmp)...:confused:

personally, i think doing it with a crt will be even funnier because of the sheer rediculousness of it :P

i've already shared with some friends and they're all flipping out about it -- pretty funny.. w00kie is absolutely amazing at doing these.. I wish i knew his secret so i wouldnt have to spend forever on a single screen to make it appear transparant. ohwell..

hahaha that's hillarious - there is no way for there to be a transparent lcd - at least not with an lcd screen. I believe there are some crazy screens that can do this - but just a guess. I will definately have to try this and post a pic of it when (or if) i accomplish it.. ::Edit:: Here's...

Yes, much easier -- and cheaper -- to just buy a rom drive, then you can direct copy from the rom to the writer, and save loads of time - i do this all the time and it works excellent. Here is a fine example of what you could get... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827101666...

just be sure you finalize the disk after the burn - otherwise you may have trouble reading the disk. This should be an option as a checkbox somewhere in nero, probably on the last page just before the burn step. I have the newest version of nero, so not too sure about the older versions, but it...

yeah good point

:P I actually decided against it after reading the warnings of what can go wrong.. plus its a brand new comp and i dont want to do it to vaoid itw warranty. but i may do it on my old laptop. its a dell inspiron 1100 with pentium celeron processor 2ghz. how would i detect the type of motherboard??

i have a pentium D 3.0 GHz processor and i want to know what would be a reasonable limit i can overclost to. also, how would this be done. I have a quasi-reasonable fan, but liquid cooling too. so overheating shouldn't be too much of a problem (i think, and hope). Thx...

thx

btw, mankz_91, thats an amazing comp ur building there - i'm definately in awe ;)

mayb you could post in neway, as i just bought a new comp and would like to know... i guess i could always just go through my external, but its only usb2 not firewire...
