Looking to get a very portable laptop. I've had an old Dell Inspiron for several years now, and it's on it's last legs. Quite a bulky system too, and I definitely want something very portable. The Thinkpad X60S has really caught my eye, but the only thing I'm not too thrilled about is the...

I flashed my Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 router with DD-WRT firmware and followed the instructions here. However, the router is now no longer working. At all. The lights are on (power and wireless), but nobody is home. I run the setup cd and when it gets to step 18 it simply says it cannot connect to...

The instructions on Wikipedia have me mightily confused. This router is causing me some grief with the wireless setup, as although I'm getting a respectable signal strength, the internet just keeps dropping out for some reason. I'm hoping the firmware upgrade will help. However, it seems...

Just lapped my E6600. Used a dab of baby oil on the sand paper. Came out quite well, and I had placed the black protector thing that comes with the CPU on the back while I did it. However, I have just removed this and found a bit of oil has crept in round the edges. It's not swimming in it, but...

I have a Lian Li A10. Beautiful case by the way. Anyway, just trying to work out best set up for the fans. 4 fans in this case - 1 rear, 1 front, 1 top and a patent extraction fan which sits over the graphics card area. Anyway, I have a Tuniq 120 and it only fits one of two ways in this case...

What is the best direction for the fan to be going on the Tuniq inside a Lian Li V1000+II? Both fans on this case are blowing in, so I figure the Tuniq should go with this flow, and the fan should be sucking air from the rear fan and blowing it towards the front of the case. Anyone have an...

I have just put a new Leadtek 7300GT into a basic system build for my dad. It's a basic card, but won't really be used for gaming. I've got the system damn near silent, apart from the annoying fan on this card! It's quite a high pitch so really gets to you after a while! I was looking at the...

I have a Hercules Fortissimo 7.1 soundcard. Had it for a few years now. It's been a solid performer. Will soon be upgrading to a Conroe setup (E6600, 8800GTX, with a Bad Axe 2.) and just wondering 2 things; 1). Is there any compatibility issue with the Fortissimo 7.1 and this motherboard...

I need to get a cooler for a Lian-Li V600. It's an awkward case for a cooler as the PSU is situated over the CPU area, so high coolers are out. It needs to be low profile. I will be using it on an E6300 with a DS3 and would like to overclock (mildly). I have been looking at the Zalman...

I have a Pentium 4 2.4ghz CPU that I've had for about 3 or so years on an Asus P4PE motherboard. I don't know what model the CPU is exactly. I will be moving it into a new smaller case soon for a build I'm doing for my sister, but the case has no room for the CPU cooler. I know of several...

Have narrowed my motherboard choice down to the Intel BAD AXE 2 vs the Asus P5W64-WS Pro. Which should I go for do you think? I will be running an E6600, 2GB Teem Xtreem 6400 RAM and a BFG 8800GTX. I plan to overclock, but not to the point of destruction as it's not something I've done before...
