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...

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.

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...

^^ Great job, minideez! I really like how that blue LED fan looks on the inside. :cool:

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...

I don't have anything sitting in my memory right now, unfortunately. Merry Christmas everybody!! :cool:

I really, really, really, really REALLY want to build one of these. I just need to find my old legos! :D

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...

Mark is my middle name.

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."

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?

Above all, I would like to see quiet cooling solutions (fansinks, etc) on more GPUs.

That's pretty cool, but the real question is - does that chaingun really work? :D

Welcome to [H]! Dimensions of the standard OEM Slimline PSU are ~230mm x ~82mm x ~50mm (LWH), and dimensions of the Shuttle PC63 are, as stated, 200 x 82 x 53 mm (LWH). In terms of dimensions, the Shuttle PC63 is a very close match. Unfortunately, its height is 3mm greater than the height of...

I've actually been really impressed with the design and performance of Galaxy's video cards, primarily the low power, low profile 9600GT - unfortunately, it's fan would get whiny when it ramped up so I guess I'd like to see Galaxy work on reducing the fan noise in their future cooling solutions.

There is a low profile version of the NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 from Palit available on Newegg, if anyone is interested. Keep in mind, this will definitely require a PSU and cooling upgrade as Fermi GPUs have a reputation of being excessively hot and power-hungry.

Something about that is just downright unsettlin'. You ordered one PSU and received a different PSU? If that happened to me, I probably wouldn't order from them again. I've had my eye on that Sparkle 300W (SPI300F4BB) PSU for awhile as a possible replacement for the Sparkle 270W. It's...

Sorry to hear about your PSU dying. Unfortunately, I have never heard of KDM Power Supplies so I have no idea how good their PSU's are. One note of caution, however: It appears that the rated current output for the 12V rail on the MFX9300 is only 9A. I may be misreading it because the way...

Well, like you said, it all depends on how you plan on using your computer. I can't tell you what to do - that's a decision only you can make. I can tell you what I would do, though. Honestly, if it were me, based on my usage and current setup, I would just return the CPU - HOWEVER, that's...

If you do a search for "ADO5600IAA5DO" here, you should see a page that displays all the important information for that CPU - including the wattage (spoiler warning!) which, as it turns out, is 65W. Do note, however, that it will be pushing on the upper limits of the thermal design power (TDP)...

I'm not sure, but yeah, it sounds like they require you to be running Windows Vista in order to install the update. I'm stumped at this point - it seems like you won't be able to install the update it unless you can first install a valid copy of Vista, either that or HP starts offering support...

Have you tried to boot your computer with just one of the pc6400 RAM sticks installed in either DIMM slot, and then repeating that with the other pc6400 RAM stick? Doing this will help pinpoint the source of your problems - for example: a bad stick of RAM. Also, make sure the voltage on the...

Guys, allow me to clarify a few things. There are not two antennas. That grounded wire is the antenna. It leads directly to that unscrew-able / removable "antenna mount" (I just made up that terminology :p) that sticks out on the back - but they are one and the same. I suspect the only...

There really isn't anyway to know if the product that you linked above is low profile or not. While the product image may show a low profile card, there is no guarantee that the actual product matches the product image (i.e. you don't know if it's actually is low profile, especially since the...

What model slimline do you have (e.g. s3400f, s5280t)? Some of the newer slimlines have bigger motherboards and don't need the MicroFit ATX Adapter. Depending on the type of motherboard, you may or may not need the PSU Adapter. Also, about your earlier post - that non-spinning fan (from your...

If you are getting this card: You do not need this cable: The 4650 is able to get all the power it needs from the PCIE bus itself, so an additional 6-pin PCIE power cable is unnecessary, and will be unused, as there is physically no place to plug it in on the 4650.

A (receiving?) antenna of the type that is in the s3xxx series is basically a grounded wire whose physical properties (length,etc) somehow corresponds to the properties (wavelength,etc) of the signal it's meant to pick up. The wire (that ran to the front), by itself, is the antenna for the...

The GT220 will not work with the stock 160W power supply, sorry. The card draws 58 watts, which is too much for the 160W PSUs found in the s3xxx AMD slimlines.

The model in that review is not low profile, so it won't work in any of the s3xxx or s5xxx series slimlines, unfortunately. However, Newegg now carries the Sparkle low profile GT220 and GT240, if anybody is looking for a low(-ish) power video card.

The Sparkle SPI270LE can only deliver 18 amps through the combined output of both 12v rails (as noted on the same page you listed, but towards the bottom left underneath the table) - however, the Sparkle 9800GT runs fine on the SPI270LE according to dozens of people here, including the OP...

I had a similar problem trying to dual boot Win7 after I installed Mint 8 on my computer. Kind of confusing at first, but I just reinstalled GRUB2 and then did update-grub to get the Win7 option back on the GRUB2 menu.

Ignis, your problem might not be in the power supplies themselves. Might be that the Main's (AC) electricity you are receiving from your electric company is very dirty (has huge distortions in the normally smooth 60 Hz sine wave), which could be forcing your power supply to work extremely hard...

Odd - That's the first time I've ever heard anything about the volume of the low profile 9800GT. Of course, maybe it's because the card is so quiet I can't hear anything at all. :p:D;) (sorry, that's really bad joke - it made more sense in my head :p) ...I digress. Does anybody have any...

I think it's related to the performance of your graphics card, just like the gaming graphics score. Adding a more powerful video card would improve your score, in that sense.

I'm honestly not quite sure, sorry. I...wouldn't think replacing the processor without updating the BIOS first could cause problems, but either way I can't say for certain from experience. Same thing goes for the Vista/7 issue on the BIOS...When I updated to version 5.18 I was still using...

Yes! You must always use thermal paste when installing a new CPU. In fact, whenever you remove the heatsink on the CPU, you must ALWAYS clean the old thermal paste off the CPU and the bottom of the heatsink and reapply fresh thermal paste before putting the heatsink back on. (I nearly learned...
