OK, that helps. Thanks. +rep

This is a store bought, obviously, but I'm pretty sure it has SP1 on it. HP Pavilion dv6700 (Core 2 Duo T8300 processor 2.4GHz; 2GB RAM) It has been running fine ever since she bought it. One day working, next day nadda. As far as sounds go, there are no startup sounds. I'm pretty sure there...

My friend's laptop is having a problem. Turn it on, get the options for boot order, recovery, etc. Moves on to the Vista loading bar Then goes to a black screen with only the mouse showing. The mouse is moving, but i get nothing else. I tried booting up in safe mode, same situation. Any...

Thanks, My drawing looks pretty proportional to the pics of the fan. If it isn't too much trouble, could you also get me the measurements of the inside and outside diameter of the fan?

I want to know because I am thinking about using it in my upcoming custom case. I am designing the piece the fan will mount to in Autodesk Inventor and I need to know the hole spacing prior to the fabrication of the part. The part will be made using a 3D printer, some examples of what it can do...

The fan size is 200mm, the diameter of the opening. But the placement of the bolt holes is likely less that that. Example. On a 120mm fan the bolt holes are in a square pattern spaced 105mm apart. I'm looking for the spacing on the 200mm fan.

Hi all. I have somewhat of an obscure question regarding this fan. Does anyone have or know the dimensions for the mounting pattern? (how far apart the mounting holes are) I have tried to find them but no luck. :( I think that it is going to come down to someone who has this fan measure it or...

I see what you are saying now. I was at school and reading quickly. In my opinion, if you have a valid warranty on an item, it should not cost you anything more then what it costs to ship it TO them. Anything after that is their responsibility. They are shipping it to you, they should cover that.

The way you worded it sounds like you'll only pay $15. Unless they speciffically specified you pay BOTH ways. I know when I had to RMA a HDD to Seagate I had to pay the return shipping. It had to be insured and through a trackable provider, ie UPS. So in the end I paid almost 10 bucks to get...

@ Blucube Thanks for the info. I knew that drives were usually smaller than the reported size and had a general idea of why, but I didn't think it could get up to 70GB. That's a lot of 'lost' space!

I just picked up an internal 1TB WD Caviar Black series. It's advertised as 1TB but PC sees it as a 931GB drive, 69GB less. I wish there was some REAL number they would put on the box as what to expect. Other than that I like it a lot. No problems what-so-ever.

I have 3 FreeAgent Seagates that have performed flawlessly. The 750 has the eSATA, the 250's only have USB I believe. A couple of my friends have WD's and haven't had any problems with them either. Both of those companies have solid products IMO. It comes down to personal preference and what you...

Got the game the other day, played it a bit tonight and I enjoy it. It is something different with an 'original' idea for a change. I had some issues with it not liking x64 XP but I got that all taken care of now.

**** :sad: Finally got the BIOS updated, we'll see if that helps any. Ill give Auto a shot and see what I can do.
