  7. Case + Power Supply

    I'm looking into buying a new PC and need assistance in picking out a Case and Power Supply.

    I don't want to spend too much on it, and don't need any cool lights or crap like that - just simple without being cramped.

    I've picked out an ATX mobo and am planning on an 8800GTX - Q6600 - and Raid HD setup - would 500Watts be enough or should I go for more?

    What about trying an external pair of speakers or headphones? It could very possibly be a bad sound chip

    Mark

    The sound is still messed up coming out of them.

    Have you tried to run a live linux cd? That is a two minute test which will easily determine if it is a software or a hardware problem.

    Still working on getting a blank CD... ya i know... its sad in this day of age not to have an extra but i don't and my only linux CD refuses to boot up.

    OK success!

    The problem with the fstab was that i must have accidently hit a key before the first # [comment] so that was the error - that is now fixed

    Now how i got the share to finally mount was

    in /etc/fstab

    //mycomp/Movies /home/mike/movies smbfs username=guest,password=guest,noauto 0 0

    i moved it out of /mnt/movies - that didn't help, but now i will just leave it in my home directory.

    After that i edited /etc/rc.local

    mount /home/mike/movies

    now it mounts when i startup

    After 3 days of searching google i read that samba might not have started up when it was mounting everything so it never mounted properly and since rc.local is executed in the end samba is up and running and it mounts properly

    =)

    ohhh i still hate linux though :-p

    When i do 

    mount /mnt/movies

    it says that only root can mount //mycomp/Movies ob /mnt/movies

    it also mentions that line 1 of etc/fstab is bad.... but i never touched that

    anyways

    do i have to change the directory it mounts to or what?

    //192.168.1.105/movies /mnt/movies cifs exec,credentials=/etc/cifspw 0 0

    and in the /etc/cifspw

    username=theusername

    password=thepassword

    When i browse to mnt/movies the directory is empty....

    Yesterday I was watching a movie on my laptop and everything was fine and it sounded great, towards the end i fell asleep. I woke up to my speakers making really high pitched hisses and pops. I thought nothing of it and turned off the speakers.

    So i tried watching a movie again later and when the movie started the audio sounded like a huge industrial fan was being blown into the microphone when the sound was being recorded. I have no idea what the heck happend but i'm begging to believe it may be a hardware problem because the sound will crackle and pop when i boot up the computer.

    Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and if it is fixable?

    EDIT: Also when i try to adjust the volume on my laptop the sound doesn't change at all, even if i put it on mute it will be the same volume.
