[H] Longest period between system upgrade?
Wow...I put together my old box prior to June 2003! I can't believe I went 4 years without a system upgrade! No wonder I forgot everything! I was behind several processors, video cards, even busses!

UltraISO is one of the slickest programs I have used in a long while.

Re: [H] Quiet PC!
Anthony, Welcome to the New World! Congrats! (at default speed, no less) We have come very far together.

Re: [H] code purple error ?
I would suggest resetting the cmos/bios to defaults as a start. I've only seen the error on systems from HP that didn't have the tattoo applied to the bios. My business often does sub-contract work for extended warranty companies and when replacing motherboards in HP/Compaq systems we have to go through a process of running a special application that tags the mainboard's bios with information like the serial number, model number, etc. If a board were replaced and system recovery was run before going through the tattoo procedure you might encounter the code purple error. I think it stems from the OEM copy of Windows XP that are catered made for HP when it comes to the licensing/activation stuff. What sort of restore did you do?

[H] iso ?
Is it possible to edit a text file inside a iso image and keep things intact ? do not want to extract, edit and re create this bootable disk. fp -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- I'm feeling argumentative. Please contradict me.

[H] Overhead Projector Mount
I am remodeling our basement for a home theater and was thinking about pre-wiring it for an overhead projector mount. We currently use a rear projection DLP TV so I wouldn't be using it but I figured it was decent future proofing. What sort of things should I be thinking of? Right now I was planning on putting in an electrical outlet, a bracket to mount the projector to, and flex tubing back to the A/V rack so wiring can be run easily. Anything else? -- Brian Weeden
Re: [H] A Neat Build?
I like the case...that's a good price with the PS...just remember to remove the PS cage before putting in the PS...and too, IMO, mount the PS with the fan facing down, so you can easily route the cables behind the wall. The tri-cool fans are super quiet, too. I'm using the stock PC hs/fan and I hear nothing coming from this machine. It case is rather biggish, but that makes it easier to work inside. I think one advantage of the Antec PS is that you don't have to worry too much about the cable lengths so you can reach them along the back and still reach the mobo power connections. It's not clear of that is a sure thing with some other PS, though, hopefully it is with the better ones. FORC5 wrote: How do you like this case so far ? I have been looking at these since they came out ( and were much more pricey) Layout seems weird.
