The drive that we used for Brian's computer came with Nero 8 Full. It's not a bad drive for $41.97. ;)

Nero is the burning utility for your DVD/CD burner.

Brian, did you see a green light when you put the card into the bottom left slot? Look under "My Computer" with a card in the slot and see if "Removable Drive" shows up. If so... you are golden. It was tested prior to departure, so I'm hoping it's not DOR to you. :(

Here is a video for a dual monitor setup. This should hopefully help. I'm in Mass. right now so I'm doing all I can from the road to help, Brian. :( Sorry, man. <object width="580" height="360"><param name="movie"...

Dual monitor set-up http://www.microsoft.com/athome/organization/twomonitors.aspx Did you have the SD card in the proper slot? Also make sure that the card is inserted pins *UP* http://www.rosewill.com/products/d_1184/productDetail.htm If the monitor setup doesn't work, let me know, and I...

Sorry about the fan Brian. I guess even as hard as my brother and I tried, the U(ooops) Parcel Screwers managed to shake it loose. What's the issue with the monitor? Is it the connector or is it software? If it's software, once we get home, I'll do a remote desktop connection( the help file on...

I look at what the hardware has done over the past 10 years. When I got started, if you had a PIII 900, you dropped some major coin for your system. Now, my graphics card has more processing power than my first computer, and 4 times the memory... and it's a year or so old. Brian is sitting...

If you don't mind using the case over, and providing it's not proprietary like HP/Compaq stuff is/was, you should be able to rebuild with new stuff in the case. However, at the cost of cases, if you rebuild, I'd just use a new case. New Egg has plenty with free shipping. Brian's ran for 39.99...

No... I left that up to Counterstrike, America's Army 3, and Madden NFL 07. :lol:

Your system is brand new. The only old stuff is the *data* that was saved for you. :/: Everything except for the DVD Burner, power supply, and the motherboard(still usable though) are salvageable. It will be relegated to a good home for future use. I've got a high CPU/GPU game that can be...

The verdict is the power supply is dead! It just let the magic smoke out... and the sparks, and the smell. :lol:

I think the power supply was a main issue. But there was also one dead USB header on the board.

It was converted over to 2000 Professional. I still say it was probably one of the better operating systems Microsoft ever released. It was fairly compact in nature, and worked well overall. I have to reload because the system disks are non-existant, my 2K disc is AWOL, and it had a nasty virus...

So here are some more pics...

I did Brian... this is another customer's laptop :P He is going to have Linux installed on it. I just did Xp because my disc was available, and his computer is way old... IE came with Windows ME preinstalled from Dell. I'd show a vista install but it only has a CD drive. If I had a copy... I'd...

Here is a pictorial guide to a Windows XP Home Install.

Inside most cameras and digital devices, are removable memory cards, that the data is stored on. The reader is just that. It allows you to copy and remove the files from the card without having to hunt for the pesky device cables that always goes AWOL when you need them. :lol: It's just a...

I'll get some assembly instructions and how-to's in the morning. I'll also cover 2 operating system installs XP and some flavor of Linux... if my next project laptop will cooperate. :lol:

I also can not leave items stock. I like to improve on items for both reliability and performance. I added a gasket to the rear case fan to reduce vibrations and extra noise. I also added a silver-based thermal compound to the heatsink before attaching it to the processor. I have gotten into...

Here are a couple of old shots of the inside and the outside of the system. I added the card reader tonight, and organized the cables.
