Are HP desktops noisy?

Hey y'all, Noise is a sorta relative thing, but in general, are HP desktops noisy? Say in comparison to a 4000-series Dell Dimension (I have a couple of those at my office and they're quiet). Any input would be appreciated.

dvi vs. analog

Sounds like the problem could be the analog connection. I would try to go DVI with both. In my experience, DVI tends to be a lot cleaner.

Laptop can't find HD or DVD-ROM.

Hello everyone, A little help from the Anandtech community? =) Sorry for the rather lengthy post, but I wanted to be detailed: I'm trying to get a friend's Dell Inspirion 8100 back up and running again. I reinstalled Windows XP Home, installed Norton Systemworks, and started a defrag on...

How hot is too hot?

It makes sense to have the airflow going from front to back because having hot air blowing in your direction wouldn't be very pleasant. Thanks.

How hot is too hot?

Virtual Larry, thanks for your suggestions. You mentioned having a problem with a dusty heatsink/cpu fan. I didn't think of dusting it off, so I'll try that. You also mentioned reapplying thermal grease, which also seems like a good idea. Is this something that should be done periodically? If...

Lookout - Problem with Outlook address book

Hey all, Got a problem with Lookout!....er, I mean "Outlook." Outlook 2000, that is. I can't export my addresses any more. Going to Address Book > File > Import, I see that the Import option is greyed out (as is the export option). That's normally how I backup my address book. Guess I could...

Hi there, I have an old slot-1 Athlon 850 running on a Asus K7V board with 768 megs of RAM. I've got a Seagate 80 gig hd and a second Western Digital 30 gig drive (slaved), plus a Samsung CD-burner and a Lite-on DVD-rom. Any reboots after an hour of use (or so) usually result in an error...

AIM pops up when open Outlook Express

Can't say I've had this exact problem, but it would probably help to do the following: 1) In Outlook Express, go to Options > General > and uncheck "Automatically log on to Windows Messenger." 2) Launch AIM, click the "Setup" icon, and go to the Sign On/Off option under "Category" Uncheck the...

Problem exporting/importing addresses in Outlook 2000

Hey there, For no apparent reason, Outlook has decided to not allow me to export my contacts/addresses any more. I used to be able to go to Tools > Address Book > File > Import (or Export) but now those options are greyed out. Has anyone had this same problem? Is there a fix (besides...

Box for shipping a hard drive?

Actually, I'm not RMAing a dead drive. I'm shipping a drive to someone who won it from me on eBay. It's a drive I pulled from an old system I didn't need anymore, so I didn't get a box. The foam from a craft store is a good idea, but I'd prefer to get "the real deal" if you know what I mean...

Problem Installing Lite-On LTR-52327S CD-RW Drive

Thanks. I couldn't find the DMA options before....I think I was looking under the drive properties (a la windows 98, if I'm not mistaken) I gave your suggestions a try. On the advanced tab, Device 0 was listed as "DMA if available" and the current mode is "Ultra DMA Mode 2" So it looks like...
