Why aren't my optical drives working??

Well, it seems that you're doing most things right. Specify all your equipment here to get better assistance. What was the situation before you had a problem? - Check with a new IDE cable. - Use the 1st IDE plug on the cable for your Master drive. - Try running them seperately (try each...

PSU/Voltages Question

Thanks, guys. Seems the two issues aren't related, which was my main concern. I can live with the 10sec power-up :)

PSU/Voltages Question

Thanks Pheonix. Well, I'm using Everest atm - which seems to report most things fine. However, Speedfan tells me nearly the same thing. 5.9V for the 12v rail. Really weirding me out. I adhere to the policy 'if it ain't broke, etc', but I like to understand the problem regardless...

Best Hard Drive ?

A hunch - The noise you're hearing is the outlet fan on your PSU (power supply unit). If it's not - Get a piece of tubing (garden hose will do) and open up the side of your case. Put one end at your ear, and with the other pan around the inside of your case (don't get it caught in any...

Debating between 2 different MP3 players

Debating between 2 different MP3 players

Slightly off from what you asked - but I thought I'd let you know that I bought my 1st mp3 player about a month ago. It's a Creative Zen Touch, 20GB. I've read good and bad about it - but I can tell you that mine is fantastic - does everything I want, looks great and superb audio quality. A...
