WoW! Fantastic! It works just like you all said it would. What a great help!

Sorry I can't see the picture weell enough. Do you mean move the green plastic strip I mentioned to slave?

I should have asked. How do you set the jumper on the DVD drive to slave? On the rear of the drive there is a six pin (3 on top and 3 on bottom) recessed horizontal connector. It points to the first two pins as "cable select" The have a green plastic sort of device covering them. The next two...

The IDEE strap has the master on the end. It originally went to the DVD/CD (top) drive. The slave was on the same strap about 6 inches from the end. It originally hooked to the CD drive. I have the LightScribe in the top where the old DVD drive was and the Master connection is hooked to it. The...

My computer has a DVD/CD and CD drive. I recently bought a LightScribe drive. I placed it in the cd slot. Hooked up the IDEE to it. It was the second connector on the strip and is marked "slave." The master goes to the DVD drive. When I closed it up and booted the machine, there was no drive...

LeeJend, Thanks for the input. I do video slideshows for people. I bought a 22" Viewsonic Widescreen and found that my shows were not as crisp/clear as I wanted them to be while building. I went ahead and installed an Antec 500 watt PSU, along with the Radeon 1300 card. The results are very...

Thanks. I appreciate the help and information.

Do you have any idea how to obtain an HP phone number regarding PSU upgrades?

Maveric169, Thanks for the information. I will take it into consideration. Meanwhile, I had looked at this power supply. What is your opinion on it, please? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8013295&st=power+supply&type=product&id=1156203858419

I recently purchased an ATI Radeon X1300 - Pro PCI Express, 256MB DDR2 card that I am about to install in my Compaq computer. I will probably need to change out my PSU (it has a 300 watt unit now) also. I would like to get your opinion on this graphics card? Thanks - Tuf

I posted this in another forum. I didn't get but one reply I am not sure if this is the right place or not. I bought a more powerful graphics card (ATI Technologies Radeon X1300 Pro Video Card, PCI Express, 256MB DDR2) and want to chage out my 300 watt PSU with a 500 watt unit. My machine is...

I bought a more powerful graphics card (ATI Technologies Radeon X1300 Pro Video Card, PCI Express, 256MB DDR2) and want to chage out my 300 watt PSU with a 500 watt unit. My machine is a Pentium 4, 2.93 Ghz, Compaq Presario SR1250SN. I have the dimensions of my current power supply (6" wide X...

Thanks, Chastity. Again, I appreciate all the help. You people are fantastic! I am so glad I found this site. - Tuf

I appreciate the responses. I guess my worry was that the components would run hotter, thus causing more possibility of problems with using on "non-gaming" work. But, I see that it should not be a problem. Thanks again. So...say I wanted to build myself a computer (in addition to my...

Let me ask another question. I know this will sound dumb. Can you build a "gaming computer" and use it on a day to day regurlar basis for word processing, sufiing the net, excel work, etc.? I mean, like leaving it on all the time like I do mine? (You can tell that I am a novice.:nervous:) I...

Again, I really appreciate your infromative posts! I am saving all your information and am going to compile a list on what you have suggested. Once I get into the actual purchase I will most likely be writing for help.:nervous: Thanks for all the posts! Tuf

Wow! I appreciate all of your information. I can't digest all of the info in one reading. It will take me some time to put it all together. I should have noted in the beginning that I am a novice compared to you fellas. My grandson is only 13. He is just getting started. He is only playing...

Sounds like you have a very good system for the money spent! I did not realize the currency difference was that close. When I was in England in the 60's the pound was $2.85, or so. Beautiful country you live in! I was outside of Ipswich. Thanks again. And, have a good day. Tuf

Thanks for the good information. I had thought I would get the Vista platform. But, I see nothing wrong with XP for now. Out of curiosity, what does a system like the one you have cost someone to build - if it were built by an individual. I hope I am not asking to private a question. If so...

Hi, I was wondering if I could get some comments on the topic of building a gaming computer for my grandson. I would like to have your opinion on the difficulty factor I am facing. I have never built a computer. And, maybe a gaming computer is not the place to start. I have watched several...
