finally someone who knows how to make a clear case look good!! awesome job!!! p.s. can i have your fish tank? lol

before after

ABIT

um... dude, no gaming with onboard video sorry do your self a favor and save up $80 to buy something decent

if its working correctly, then no open your "Device Manager" to see if you have everything installed and working correctly if you find any yellow question marks, then install drivers as needed to check which chipset you have, run this: ftp://aiedownload.intel.com/df-support/8264/eng/chiputil.exe

go with the Abit mobo instead itll last longer and overclocks like a mofo

Abit brand motherboards are awesome for overclocking avoid some abit and msi boards check into a few different reviews on the one(s) you choose before buying any and all reviews will help a ton on your final decision i usually read reviews from : http://techreport.com/

definately go with the 939 with nforce4 you cant go wrong with this socket/chipset combo

i would go with a minimum of 400watt recommend something like 500w-550w i run enermax units in all my PCs and never had any problems with any of em they run pretty quiet also hope i was able to help

holy crap, it comes with a lifetime warrenty!! good buy man

you shouldnt need a bios the chipset driver comes from the chipset manufacture as does the sound i doubt the chipset and sound were made by this tandex company

thats why i bought an enermax 550watt monster you get what you pay for... hehe

windows xp is extremely about "new" uninstalled hardware it finds you just found out the hard way check this out: turn off the pc and connect something like a cdrom drive and a usb printer and a digital camera via usb or something like that, it should act wierd again

try running adaware or spybot etc backup everything and reinstall windows as a clean install then go ahead and change the power supply if its still acting strange do you own a multimeter? connect it to an unused plug and monitor the voltages while your booting the pc after it crashes, check the +3.3v +5v +12v if theres still voltage on these, it may be your motherboard check for blown capacitators you can tell if a cap is blown if the top silver part is raised or lookes like its bulging outward a new good cap will be completely flat on top if you do find blown caps, its time to invest in a good surge protector and/or battery backup

how do all your computers get soo dirty? i leave mine running for months and its still clean

running win 2000 will most likely self detect your dated hardware just fine i have an old compaq pII that i installed win 2000 on it, never needed any extra drivers which specific driver were you looking for?

i would look into Tyan motherboards they make very stable server boards and even make a couple quad proc boards

you really gonna use that board? its an old slot type board from 1998 maybe its time to replace it? after doing a google search, i did find a link to the companies webpage, but was broken either the company does not exist at all or find out who bought em out then go from there

this is the card? it woulda been cheaper to run an extension cord into the case through a hole drilled into an expansion slot
