    Storage Solutions Help me build a PC without any internal Hard Disk

    That cable is really nice. Simple and very much effective. But SSD is completely out of my budget. After wasting a complete day in nehru place, I m now left with no other option but to buy it from eBay and get it shipped to India. This looks like my best option.

    Storage Solutions Help me build a PC without any internal Hard Disk

    Too costly for me. But I can get the 8 GB one if available for around 4000. Also my biggest trouble is how will I make it removable. I cant open up the cabinet, unplug the sata cables everyday. Also Linux wont work as I`ll be using a custom made software which will run only on XP.

    DVD to ipod converter. What to get?

    My brother just got himself a 5g iPod. And he wants to put some movies from his dvd collection in it. For me Handbrake on Apple Macbook wins hands down but I have no idea what to get for XP. A quick search on Google confused me even more. Then I tried Handbrake for windows. But for some reason...

    CPU/Mobo TV out not working with ASUS M2NPV-VM mobo

    OK. I opened the PC cabinet today to check out if the cable was connected properly or not(the PC was not assembled by me). The Mobo manual says that the TV out connector is a 8-1 connector. The cable which connects the mobo and the TV out bracket is actually 8-1(ie 4 holes in top row and 3 in...

    CPU/Mobo TV out not working with ASUS M2NPV-VM mobo

    I dont think this had anything to do with the BIOS. I tried quite a few versions of drivers for 6150 one after the another and something might have clashed. The issue was resolved once I asked XP to boot into last good(working) setting. It`s been working fine since then. Hurray. We`re back to...
