No, it will not turn on without the HDD, same problem.

Hey, I've had a laptop for a while now, (6 years) and it's getting up there in age, but it normally works well for taking notes in class and instant messaging/internet browsing at the library, etc. when I can't be on my desktop. For about the last half year, its battery has been shot. If I...

Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but I assumed that it is, please let me know if I am wrong and where to post. I just noticed today that my webcam light was on- something that only happens when I'm using the cam for something such as livestreaming or video chat... a little...

Thanks for the tip, will do.

lol at the pun. Ah! Thank you. I flipped the fan around so it's blowing in and that seemed to clear up my problem. Temps are down to 38 now, (huzzah!) which is the lowest my GPU has been at yet. The core dropped in temp too (down to 29). And this is with all the fans running on low. I'm sure it...

:C Can I just get an answer on that last question plz? Should the side window fan be blowing in or out?

Top fan (the 200mm) is blowing out, as is the default with the case, front three fans blowing in, rear 2 fans blowing out, side fan blowing out, and internal fan mounted on the backside of the harddrive cage blowing in. Minor dust on the Graphics card fan that I cleaned off easily. (fan on that...

So I've been worried about how hot it's been around here lately (I don't have air conditioning and it gets 90 in my apartment in the summer). I noticed that for a while my poor computer's internal temps were not happy with these conditions (going up a 10 degree Celsius increase during the...

I know my mobo never did when I built my PC, I had to buy them separate. The only cable I ever got was the one with my DVD drive.

For Starcraft 2 this is what you need to play Recommended settings (not optimized settings mind you, so this is to play the game without max graphics) PC: Windows Vista/Windows 7 Dual Core 2.4Ghz Processor (you chose a 3.0 quad, you're fine) 2 GB RAM (you chose 4, you're fine) 512 MB NVIDIA...

If you're gonna go for the Phenom you'll want a board that supports that socket. Both of the ones you listed are the Socket AM3. (They come with a default CPU cooler, but if you wanna buy a better one you can. It's never a bad idea to cool your system down. But really you can use the default...

Well that answers that for me at least.... Still gonna stick with my earlier opinion about them being too pricy for me to care, but DAAAAAAANG that laptop's been through heck. Poor thing, I want to lay it to rest... If that happened to my computer, no matter what build (heck it could be...

I'm sorry, but I've never understood this reasoning. How exactly is an Apple laptop higher quality? I have seen plenty of Macbook pros vs Toshiba or Sony or Lenovo or any other pre-made laptop you can think of and have seen little difference between them. Parts are still parts. (please don't...

I agree with this. I built my desktop and it saves me tons of time because I can render 3d and video editing at home rather than relying on the school computers, which are almost always in use, especially during finals and midterms. Plus I can let projects run overnight. I use my laptop for...

Still doesn't answer the hardware question though.
