Thanks. Yes, I actually do have access to see the router's DHCP table, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks. How about this router? With a promo code, I can get it for $17 shipped from NewEgg. Newegg.com - Recertified: NETGEAR WPN824NAR IEEE 802.11b/g RangeMax Wireless Router

Thanks. Is there any advantage to a wireless AP over a wireless router? Also, my budget is really tight right now. Could you recommend a very cheap wireless router/wireless AP?

Hello, I was wondering what the best setup would be for me to have wireless internet in the following situation: Currently, I live in a place where I have access to one hardwire ethernet cable. This usually works great for me...I just hook it up to my desktop. However, I now need wireless...

I will do that...thanks for the advice!

Hey guys, I know somebody that needs a cheap PC preferably for around $100 or a little bit more. For that price, I wonder if I am better off buying a used/refurb computer versus building one? Plus they want it sort of soon. They won't be gaming on it or anything...just productivity software...

Thanks. That actually would be a pretty good idea for mounting another intake fan. I left the rest of the punchouts in, just in case I decided to do that.

Thank a lot! That worked great...took away all my concern. My system is up and running. There are a few things I have to setup and figure out, but everything seems to be OK. I will post up some pics when I get a chance.

Hi everybody, I was all excited putting together my PC. I have the EVGA x58 SLI motherboard and the Core i7 920 processor. I put the chip into the socket, and it's all lined up and appears to be flush. When I close the load plate, and I start pushing down on the socket lever, I start...

Had a quick question. All the 5.25" drive bays on my HAF 932 are covered by metal punchouts. Wonder if I should punch all of these out for better airflow, or is there a reason they are there? Thanks!

Has anybody tried Norton Internet Security 2009? The reviews seem to be much more positive this year. I could instead get something like Eset Smart Security Suite, or Nod 32 and Zone Alarm. Do I actually need a firewall? Can I run a stand alone antivirus by one company and a stand alone...

Hi guys, Since they were on sale, I picked up 3 WD Caviar Black 750GB HDDs. All I was thinking about at the time was space, space, space, since I was always running out of space on my 160GB. I did less research/thinking on hard drives than any of my other components. Now that I look back, I...

Yeah, there is a difference. The TR version only has a 2 year warranty, whereas the A1 version has a lifetime warranty. From EVGA website: Make sure you register your board within thirty days after your purchase, or the lifetime warranty will be downgraded to 1 year, and the 2 year warranty...

Hi Mak, BIOS reconizes them as CD-ROM devices. Hmmm. I believe it showed this when I first installed the new drive...I can't remember. It actually worked that day, though. I really think the drive is OK. I just got it as an OEM drive from Newegg. I think my old drive is OK too. I have...

b0dge, I just tried that, and that doesn't work either. The computer does recognize the drive, but it does not recognize it correctly. Hmmm. Any other suggestions? Where do you think the problem is originating? Thanks, infowarrior45
