Your goal is to just see if it works? The old trick is to take the PSU out of the case entirely, and while it's unplugged, connect the green and a black wire with a paperclip. If the paperclip has some plastic on it, bite off each end so the metal shows... plug one end into the green wire of the...

That's what I've heard, which is why I sought out after it. Looks great and supports all I need it to... and the stability sure helps. Great-looking model overall.

Whoa, there is NO excuse for that. Actually damaging your property? I'd take that up with the shipping company for sure... it's their doing and no one elses, so you'd have a case.

Did you forget to plug in the small ATX wires to the board?

From our front-page news: External audio solutions for notebooks is nothing new, but as we've found out in the past, it's rarely that impressive. The new Sound Blaster X-Fi Notebook audio card might change some minds though, as it's equipped with the proven X-Fi chip and plugs into virtually any...

From our front-page news: So... AMD almost gave me a heart attack this morning. In my inbox laid an e-mail from the greenest company in Sunnvale, boasting the "Power of Fusion". Considering that up to now, Fusion has been the term thrown around about for their CPU/GPU hybrid chip, it definitely...

From our front-page news: When Apple first announced that Intel processors would be used in their machines going forward, it became obvious to many that hacking OS X to run on your PC would have to be made much easier. Although projects existed before that announcement to run OS X on your...

From our front-page news: Leaked Intel roadmaps are as about rare as finding a Starbucks, but this one is a bit interesting. The folks at Expreview stumbled over a new roadmap that reaffirms what we already knew about the upcoming launches, except this time, model names are attached. The...

From our front-page news: It's rare for a week to pass without seeing an SSD product launch, and this week it comes courtesy of Super Talent. This is one company who really, really wants to make an impression, because they were one of the first out the door with their own SSDs, and they've...

From our front-page news:Rumors have been going crazy lately with regards to both the "Xbox 720" and "Playstation 4", and everyone has an opinion. One rampant rumor in particular is that the Playstation 4 will lack the Blu-ray player that came with the PS3, and for the most part, it's a good...

What I'm worried about is when EA decides to pull the plug on the authentication server. Are they really going to have it up and running forever? I'm kind of doubtful. Perhaps by that time they'll release it as a free game, but that isn't exactly EA's way.

The fact that you know of anyone that Vista has actually pushed to Linux suprises me Kougar. I keep hearing of people who've left for Linux, but haven't known anyone myself. I think it's amazing that anyone would shift from one OS to another just because the latest version isn't up to their...

Ahh thanks for the link... that's interesting. It seems a little far-fetched to happen, but I could be wrong. I wonder if there could just be small ducts for heat dissipation and allow the air to flow towards the to, then be expelled through the IHS. I don't know... I'm just glad I'm not the one...

That's an odd one... but I've run into similar issues like that before. I agree with Merlin and Kougar, it's probably a driver issue, since it reads the disc after initial boot.

I agree... I think half of the continent agrees. The strange situation the US economy is in isn't going over too well with most everyone, and though I don't even know what it would take to fix it, something does need to be done.

From our front-page news:Every so often, we like to take a look at both our regular testing machine and also our methodologies and see where improvements can be made. The latter is really a never-ending process, but I believe we're at the point now where we have an ideal setup in place that...

If you are a regular player of racing games on the Playstation 3, then you owe it to yourself to consider an upgrade to that inefficient gamepad! Logitech's Driving Force GT was designed for Gran Turismo 5, but works well with most other racers out there, and after we put many hours of driving...

From our front-page news: The term '3D Chip' might sound a bit misleading, and it might very-well be. When I first heard the term, I thought it was another GPU processor, but '3D' is meant to be taken literally. All current processors out there now are 2D... flat, with components found to the...

From our front-page news: When Apple acquired P.A. Semi, a Power processor manufacturer, we couldn't quite figure out what their plans were. After all, Intel has been at the forefront of the Cupertino company's hardware side of things for a few years, but it was clear either Intel or Apple...

From our front-page news: Times are not good in the financial world, with large investment firms closing shop and even one of the world's largest insurers also scrambling to come up with some $75 billion just to stay afloat. Hewlett-Packard might be feeling the effects of the economy too, but...
