    NB fan died :( need advice.

    Hi, I got an Abit NF7 2.0 Motherboard, and I sure hope my northbridge fan never goes, since I'm terrible with hardware, and can't do my own hardware upgrades. But maybe someday I'll learn how(I doubt it)

    PC sound system advice needed

    AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton Cooling

    Hi If I do get a new case, I know one thing it must fit in this desk's hole area for the CPU. so i'm kinda worried about that as well, since my luck I'd get the case home and it wouldn't fit inside it But I can't measure, since I'm terrible at it, so I guess I will just have to hope it...

    AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton Cooling

    Hi I have a new 300 watt power supply, the case is a mid tower, ATX.. and I know it's not a really good case for cooling newer faster systems, so I may end up just getting the new case anyways in a few days or weeks, depending on when I get it up to the shop to do that. The Power Supply...

    Heatsinks/Fans

    Heatsink/Fans Hi I think I will be fine also, I think the friend that's been telling me stuff had a bad experience with AMD a while back, so I just won't listen to her anymore, and I'll work on getting that rear grill cut out, or getting a whole new case with better fan mounts back there...

    Heatsinks/Fans

    Heatsink/Fans Well if a new case isn't too much, I'll probably just go for a newer better case they that have in the shop. Since also terrible with using tools, and plus they don't have any fans at all in stock that will fit the rear..he even looked in the used parts, did find one to put in...

    Heatsinks/Fans

    AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton Cooling

    Ok I will get an exhaust fan, and I'll look for an adapter for the heatsink fan, since I cannot change heatsink, shop won't do it, they said it voids the warranty. Otherwise I'm happy with my AMD System, (though friend scares me sometimes with the things she says about the temperatures, but...
