I have an EIZO 21" 4-3 monitor with a 10,000 hour warranty. In the power button setup, I can access 'number of hours' the monitor has been "on". I got spoiled on 16-9 screen 27"sony & acer mons. Actually the eizo at 21" is as 'tall' as the sony/asus, just not as wide!

Bought a brand new ECS Gforce 6100 mobo on ebay. Its from about 2008-2009. $59.00 Will install win XP-64 on it, , , ,

I have a 'Kingwin' disk cloning box. I want to copy files, not all, and not cloning, without using a computer. Is there such a box/unit like this?? -c-

I am almost deaf. Having said that, this is what I do. I have a very old Altec-Lansing setup with the 2 satellites & the base unit. Unit has volume controls on the top of the right-side speaker. (I use sound cards software settings, *bass *treble *balance *etc) I have the base under my desk...

Nokia C100 fone Have not set it up, , , yet

The same cd disk for 8-9 years, allus worked fine. Will check caps, swollen, right?

I have tried OS (XP-64) installation on an older (ECS NFORCE6M-A2) Motherboard. What happens is after 2 days or so the computer crashes! I have tried replacing memory, PSU, CPU, tried install on one old & 2 new hdds. Same-o same-o. (also, no internet connection, cat-5 not even plugged in) If the...

Not listed: *1600x900* for my 27" samsung & acer 1280x720 for 24" sammy

I remember "Cosmo's Cosmic Adventures", 3 parts, on three 3½" 'floppys". Still have it around, somewheres.

Two WD 1 TB Blue 2½" hdds, would a 5400 rpm drive last longer than a 7200 rpm drive? I only need them for storage. Priced approximately the same. Copying data to a slower speed hdd, seems it would not make a difference how fast the drive is, as data is copied/burned at a lower speed anyways...

I have quite a few of these 5v power supplies. The lower amp ones & the apple have usb plugs/sockets built in. I measured the voltage measurements/outputs on them. Which is to say under no load conditions. Most one amp, one + amps units show 5.4 - 5.6 volts. An 'apple' unit "on label" says...

Like X-files "I want to Believe"

I always turn off my monitor when done, even turn it off when away from the computer for short periods. (make & eat lunch etc). I have 'power switch' consoles, a master sw & 5 others. When done for the day, I turn everything off! I even have a 'cat5' switch-box, only one comp can be online at a...

I bought this/these mobos 13-14 years ago. I've never had any issues till this week installing XP - XP-64 - even 7. Early on, I used IDE drives, (have not used IDE's in years, have a big box full of 'em somewheres) Also, it has never been an issue with either 2½ or 3½ hdd's, till now, even...
