I'm with Liz on this one. Epson makes some very good photo printers. (check out the Apple site if you want to see a good set of photo printers)

I stand corrected...

Could I get a link to that" Dell.com>>>Home systems>>.desktops>>>>2400>>>customize>>> choose No Monitor.

Out of curiosity, how long is your shutdown time now?

So, did you have 2 drives or 1 partitioned into 2 virtual drives.?

You were downloading from a p2p w/o an pdated anti virus? Youre braver then me. You can also run avg's free version to see what else is hiding on there. As always, turn of system restore and run the scans in safe mode.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I'm going to stick to my guns with this. I want to put something together myself, so I can control all the components. The main hangups I had with pre-built NAS devices (and I've looked at quite a few) were the lack of Novell support and proprietary hardware. As I've said, I'm not much of a hardware guy, but was hoping to find some help on picking out a case and motherboard, as those are the two things I'm most confused on. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just get a big Antec case and an Intel mobo w/on board video, a Celeron D, several hdds and alot of ram. NAS

Hope it all works out for you

I'm pretty sure Dell shipped its system with the correct driver. Did your friend import his songs into his library?

That thought occurred to me too. Take the advise and try it on a known god system and try a known good monitor on yours. Pretty simple test really

If it says 98se it means 98se. There are quite a few differences between 98 and SE (noteably usb and pnp support) Try it, but keep the reciept and packaging, just in case

A degree in any technical or business related field is usefull for getting you in the door for an interview, certs give you a paper advantage but rea world experience will get you face time with employers. Get a job working in the field and get your bosses and clients to write you letters of reccomendation when its time. Nothing speaks louder then accolades from people you have worked for and with.

Don't they offer a limited time trial version? (they used to)

Theres a lot more money in servicing computers then building and selling them

Besides cleaning with canned air, did you do anything else to remedy your heat problem?

The ONLY good thing about that show is that Patrick and Kevin are SUPPOSED to be doing some guest spots, otherwise, Leo the Clueless will just dispense 3rd Grade level tech advise, like he always used to. JMO

Just wondering what she ever did about this one.

Hey, your friendly neighbor want to donate any hard drives? i know some good loving homes that would like to adopt them..

Thats what I was thing too. Might want to check the connectors on the vga cables, bent pins will cause hue changes too.

If you want a picture of one, just go to Google and type in HDD and click on images. You'll see a wide selection of hard drive pics.

Shared Computer Toolkit fo XP <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That was hard to find wasn't it? The power of Google.

They are the large, solid rectangular objects wih a ribbon cable and power cable plugged into them. Most cases have them mount in a cage below the cd drives and floppy.

So more speed = more money...
