so shiny!! my preciousssss...

you can try this mate. In bios there should be a setting "legacy USB" och something in that mather, try change it to "disable". you can also try and toggle the "PnP OS" to No (or yes, just change it) and reboot. se if it works better. Or try another port (or connect it to a USB hub if you have one)...

Hi to everyone. I have a small problem with the computer, i have a USB Topcom Butler 4872 (it's an skype phone) that my motherboard doesn't like, because if i turn the computer on with this phone, it hangs when the bios tries to initialize the device, and after it hangs I disconect the device, the c...

thats an interesting CPU cooler, i don't think i've ever seen a 9 bladed fan before. I haven't tested yet the cooler, but for now it keeps the cpu cool, it's very quiet and easy to install, and you can buy this cooler for 26 € for the aluminium version or 32 € for the copper one. UPDATE: Comput...

Nice. I glad everything is working out for you. Will you add a second drive in the future for additional storage? I have a second computer at home (the older HTPC) that has another 320 hard drive, i think for now i will store everything on both computer, and if i need a file i will stream it thru t...

Hi to everyone, first of all, thankt to everyone who suggested the components to build this computer. My initial post , asking for advice. Final specs: Motherboard: MSI k9agm3-fih HDMI Case: Antec Fusion 430 Black Graphic card: Integrated graphics TV Tunner: Hauppage WinTv HVR-1300 CPU: AMD BE-ADH24...

You don't need a HDMI capapble motherboard, the 3850 will output HDMI via a DVI-HDMI convertor. (AFAIK, someone else might shoot this down) You could then get the ASUS P5K-E/WIFI-AP with built in Wifi, this will save the cost of the wifi card and also save you a PCI slot. The Ninja Mini can run a 9...

Ok, the final build is: Motherboard: MSI k9agm3-fih HDMI Case: Antec Fusion 430 Black Graphic card: Integrated graphics TV Tunner: Hauppage WinTv HVR-1300 CPU: AMD BE-ADH2400 2.3 Ghz Memory: 2GB Kingston Hyper X Hard Disk: Samsung 320 Cooler: Scythe Ninja Plus DVD-RW: Samsung SH-S203B I've already b...

What about going with a Scythe Ninja Mini? aka the Minja. I would like to use a fanless solution for that computer, or at least a very silent configuration. I've just read some reviews of GeminII and they say that the cooling efficiency is not that great, but in all the reviews they used CPU's from...

* deleted * My mistake, double post

I'd go with a Samsung SH-S203B. Its gotten good reviews. If you want a DVD drive with LightScribe, then go with the Samsung SH-S203N. Again, good reviews. Thanks for answering, i think i'll go for Sh-S203B without lightscribe. Motherboard: MSI k9agm3-fih HDMI Case: Antec Fusion 430 Black Graphic ca...

Eduardo, first: Welcome !! Don't bother about your english, there are a lot of not-native English typers here. The via processor you have selected will NOT handle hd content! You need a decent dual-core cpu (amd/intel) and a nice vga card before hd-content will run smoothly. Seen the size of your t...

Hi to everyone, this is my first post. I have my computer, connected to a 32 lcd tv, but the main problem is the noise and the size of the computer, imagine a tower besides my tv, with a loudly athlon xp 2400+ and ati x1300 inside. That computer has also a Tunner Card TDT (HDTV) and FM radio, 320 gb...
