Worth buying HSF I don't want to get 1 year warranty on OEM 1700+ from TCWO?

CPUs never die? Right! I've got a 6 month old Duron 1 GHz. Sunday morning I woke up and there was nothing on my monitor. I rebooted and when the resolution changed once Windows booted, I got a bunch of wacky characters all over the screen. I formatted and reinstalled Windows and got an...

A letter to someone I bought a laptop from on eBay.....

<< One question: Why do you feel the need to write the guy who you purchased this from and rant to him? What's that going to accomplish? Save all of your ranting for Dell. Trust me, they deserve it. >> He sold it to me claiming there were "no problems". I didn't have a chance to use the...

A letter to someone I bought a laptop from on eBay.....

I take that back. I just opened the thing up myself and the fan header is NOT on a daughter card as the first guy stated. It's on the motherboard. So I needed a motherboard anyway to fix the fan problem. Now it seems I've had two bad boards in a row. One with a bad fan header and one with a...

Sigh... The new motherboard I didn't need has a USB port with an intermittent connection. Probably a bad solder on the board. :( I WAN'T MY OLD MOTHERBOARD BACK!!! At least it was "proven". A bad situation has only gotten worse. I've fired off a nasty-gram to Dell. :|

A letter to someone I bought a laptop from on eBay.....

Murpheeee: Eh... What the heck. the guy said it was in mint condition. It was. The CPU fan didn't work, but my guess is that the guy never ran it for more than 2 hours. Hell only broke loose AFTER I tried to get it fixed. :P One of the reasons I bought the thing is because it was still...

POLL: Windows XP or Mandrake Linux 8.1?

All Mandrake is is Red Hat made easy. They make no secret of the fact that Mandrake is BASED on a Red Hat distro. Why would you suggest Red Hat OVER Mandrake???
