    Firefly: Gaining Momentum for Resurrection?

    I am a huge Firefly/Serenity fan. It is honestly one of the best shows I've ever seen. However, I think this campaign to raise 300 million is a little too ridiculous. It seems like Fillion just make an offhand remark, and everybody is taking it way too seriously. Don't get me wrong - I would...

    Groupon Pulls Tibet, Whales, Rainforest Ads

    Honestly, I liked the commercials. I got the impression that Groupon was kinda making fun of itself and other overly ambitious salespeople who will sell you anything.

    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    Hi, gondorff! Welcome to [H]! My gut instinct would be to check the memory and the hard drive first. It very well could be your power supply, but I'd rule out those first two before trying the power supply. Check to see if your BIOS (that blue screen you see when you first turn your computer...

    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    If you check the first post, there's a list of supported processors. Unfortunately, as the support guy mentioned, the M2N61-AR will not work the Phenom X4 9850 (due to lack of BIOS support - not to mention the massive thermal design power). However, there are CPU upgrades available that will...

    Jeremyshaw posted some great advice for you. I just want to add that I have not had any problems with the latest BIOS update (5.18), however it's worth noting that the BIOS update apparently only works with Vista - some people have not been able to install the update because they were running...

    The HP Slimline S3xxx variants can only fit a Flex-ATX style PSU inside the case - anything else will have to sit outside the case. If you are going to upgrade the PSU, I recommend the Sparkle SPI270LE. As for the video card you listed, if you don't need an ultra-powerful gaming system, that...

    LEGO Rebuilds Ancient Greek Computer

    Galaxy 6th Week of Christmas Give-Aways!

    I'll be honest - I haven't ever really visited the Hot Deals Forum. However, I'll definitely check it out next time I'm in need of some new [H]ardware.

    My father recently picked up a s5610f about a week ago during the Black Friday craze to replace an old Dell machine we had. Now that I've gotten a chance to get to play around with these newer slimline models, I have to say I'm really impressed. The stock configuration was sufficient for his...

    Senate Panel Approves Domain Name Seizure Bill

    There was a quote from Revenge of the Sith that I feel is a perfect fit - what was it again? Oh yeah, now I remember: "So this is how liberty dies - with thunderous applause."

    Galaxy 3rd Week of Christmas Give-Aways!

    Once upon a time there was a small town. There were no food stores in this town because all the food they needed rained down from the sky. Then one day the weather became erratic and the portion sizes of the food grew dangerously large. To avoid being crushed by giant food items, the...

    Whoa, Sweet! You used some sort of 90 degree/right angle PCI Express motherboard adapter then, to plug it into your PCIE slot, correct?
