The case has 80mm fans. I broke and no longer have the weird screw things.Will the rubber pull through doodads be my best choice?

Mine are old and bent and wobbly, plus I'm missing a couple. Thanks

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9505S Socket 775 in a GIGABYTE EP43-UD3L motherboard with 8GB Kingston RAM. Runs Windows 10 with all the updates, slowly but a SSD would help. Runs Linux fine. Hope someone would keep it together. $50 plus shipping or maybe swap.

Could use 4 or more 500GB or larger hard drives. Slightly prefer WD, but any brand is ok if it shows green on Crystal Disc Info. Shipping will be high, so it would be better if I could get them all from one person. Thanks

I don't use Photoshop often, certainly not enough to pay a monthly charge. Can I still buy and install an old version? Which one? Looking for a real legal version. If so where? E-Bay? Thanks

Just saw this program on MajorGeeks. https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/fopnu.html It is a file sharing program and it comes in a regular version and a portable version. I downloaded the portable version, but am having a bit of trouble figuring it out. I can not find a very simple...

https://www.sandboxie.com/ I have heard a lot about this program and intend to try it. If someone can give a review I would appreciate it. Thanks

General purpose box, no gaming. Some Netflix and video out to 32"TV. Would I notice a difference? Thanks

I have some old WD spinner hard drives that I am planning to use for backup. Not broken, but if I update the firmware using the WD Universal Firmware Updater 4.0.1.4 will it do anything useful? If I do it, I need to do it before moving any data to it. Thanks

Intel DH55TC motherboard. Was upgrading memory, on rebooting got error message. Put old memory back and rebooted everything worked but, Lost all sound. Was running sound from video card - HDMI- to tv. Tried a Linux live from USB. Still no sound. Tried headphones. Still no sound. Thinking...

MSI B85M-E45 Starts by itself. When I shut it down it starts back up unless I turn the power supply off. I tried unplugging the front panel connectors and it still happens. Updated bios and set to defaults, still happens. Processor is G3258 and was in the board when I got it. My next steps are...

I have seen a couple sites saying that after 5 years there may be work on a new version of WinAmp. https://www.neowin.net/news/llamas-not-dead-winamp-58-beta-leaks-online/ I used to use WinAmp back in the day. Would you use the new version or are you happy with what you use now?

So lately I have been seeing a lot more of reCAPTCHAs. Even when doing something as simple as checking my E-mail. I thought that it might be caused by using a VPN (Windscribe if it matters). I uninstalled it, but they still keep coming. Even if I did not have limited vision, these things are...

Most of the time I just get a new one, but I have some running through walls and under floors that I need to cut and put new ends on. The tool that attaches new ends to the wire is fairly expensive and I'm not sure how hard it is to use. Dropping $40 or more on a tool that I would rarely use...

So when I click on Safely remove hardware and eject media,,,and select my flash drive, instead of saying You can now remove Sandisk or whatever, it opens File Explorer. Windows 10 Pro 64bit - fully updated. Any ideas?

Wife is looking for something like the Asus Transformer. She will use it without the keyboard most of the time, but when I need it, I prefer having the keyboard (and a USB mouse). Mainly for e-mail and Facebook when traveling. Like to get decent specs, but at a low price. Under $500. Not to...

Got a 16 year old neighbor who needs a computer. He wants to play some Steam games, and the computers I can give him are very old. Would an AMD Phenom II x 4 830 be better than an Intel Q9550? What about a G3220? Each system would have 8GB DDR3 and a low end NVidia video card. (GT 730 or...

Everyone knows that static electricity can ruin your hardware, but I had one drop of sweat fall off my forehead and took out my motherboard. So keep it cold where you are working, and if you have stress sweat, wear a bandana. Fortunately my i5 was still good and I had a spare motherboard that...

Does anyone here have pain on the tip of their index finger from too much clicking the mouse button? I have largish hands and have been happy with my Logitech M510 mouse, but am developing some pain. The problem could also have been caused by my Time Warner Cable remote. Those are awful...

Canned air is expensive and some brands are not environmentally friendly. A leaf blower is too loud, can over spin your fans, and gets dusk everywhere. I think I've seen re-usable canned air that can be pumped back to full with a bike pump or small compressor. or very expensive ones that...

How Bad Is Dirty COW? I have been hearing about this for a while, but this is the closest I have come to understanding it!

I have been looking for a small rolling stand to keep my largish mid-tower case off the floor. The purpose is to keep dust out and increase air flow. as well as making it easier to roll out to clean. All the ones I find have bad reviews. Made cheaply, wheels break, to small, etc. I could...

I hope this is in the correct place. I have TWC and my location is mis-identified. I live in Mansfield, OH, but when I go to various sites on the internet, my location is Erie, Penn. For example if I go to titantv.com to get the tv schedule, it says here are your stations for City of Erie...

I have a motherboard with the latch to hold the video card in place broken off and missing. Working fine with on-board video. If I put in a video card without the latch, will there be problems? Can I put on a new latch? The motherboard is an Asus H87M-Plus (I5-1150). I usually use short...

Comparing the way the rear panel is made, specifically the HDMI port. These are two Z97 boards, but the question would apply to any motherboard. On the first picture it looks like the port is just waiting to snap off. Would you be worried? Is there a reason to isolate the HDMI port- maybe...

Looking for something like these, but the reviews are bad. They break or don't roll. Before I get a few boards and the wheels off an old desk chair, does anyone know of a better one? Thanks

I have a 10/100 card that is working. Will I notice a difference if I replace it with a 10/100/1000 card? The new card is PCI-Express 1, (TP-LINK TG-3468) while the old card is PCI . The motherboard has both available. The computer is a HP-Compaq I-3 6200 Pro with the on-board ethernet port...

Would you feel safe RMAing a hard drive with Private Old Restricted Network files on it? It was an external drive that quit. (I think it was trying to use more power than the adapter could provide, Windows would not boot unless I unplugged the external drive. After that I could plug it back...

If you use a red, or purple hard drive as your main disk? I know I don't want green, blue only goes up to 1 TB, Black is my first choice, but if I get a better price on an off colored one?

I'm using this as a storage drive for backing up music and photos. Should I run some magic hard drive repair software? Thanks in advance.

What to do if missing I/O shield? My options are paying way to much on E-Bay, Trying to build my own, trying to adapt one from the junk box, Or going with out. I need some ideas. Thanks

Looking for a new case. I don't need a side window, lights, or other bling. Want it to be built like a tank. I don't like all the mega ventilation cases. Do you really need holes drilled on the top? I have an Antec 300 now and my granddaughter found it amusing to stick little wads of paper...
