    Bunch of junk I got off of old laptops - any suggestions?

    Hello I have managed to take apart two laptops (they didn't work, of course). In the following photo I have arranged all of the useful (maybe) parts I got from them - Heatsinks, Fans, Obsolete Memory things, Card Modem, even a 1.35GB HDD! :rockout: [sarcasm] I am wondering if I could...

    Creating Error Log and crashes if I hit CANCEL....!?

    Whenever I try to run ATITool it gives me a "program error - creating error log" (or whatever) and then crashes my computer if I don't click CANCEL (sorry, messed up on the title...). :confused: I am running 0.27 Beta 1, but 0.26 had the same problem. I am running Win2k SP4 Pro and have my...

    EMI interaction among PCI cards proposal

    I agree. Yeah, I know. It does do something, though, because it works on radio antennas. If it did a whole lot, we'd here a lot about it in the computer modding forum. - keantoken

    Chillin' my Dell [with 486 CPU fans!]

    Hello. I have had a Dell Optiplex GX1 for a while and have started to try and get more out of it than Dell anticipated...

    Maxing [killing] my PNY GeForce Fx 5500 PCI

    Hello, all. Just today (yesterday, actually...) I strapped a few old 486 processor coolers into my Dell. I strapped one directly onto the stock fan on my GeForce FX 5500, just to see if I could raise the OC a bit... it upped it 3MHz. I am running Winamp 5.33 right now and watching Milkdrop do...
