I am unfortunatley ignorant of the proper name of the knobs on some VGA cables, but here is a picture of what I am referring to: http://www.htcustomcables.com/images/vga_krystal.jpg

So far as I know they help reduce interference with the cable and I am not sure if it is siginficant enough to go out of my way to get a cable with them (currently I can only find a $24.99 cable [2 metres] without them, and a $49.99 cable with [6 metres]).

I've been researching the best way to fix up my computer for quite awhile, and due to various reasons, I'm against buying a new computer entirely. I've come to the conclusion that I'll need a new motherboard. I plan to replace pretty much everything on the computer (save for perhaps the video card, if I can) so obviously a new motherboard would be a good answer.

However I was told that perhaps buying a new barebones computer would be better. Is there really any incentive to buying a barebones computer over just purchasing a new motherboard, and replacing it with the one in my current PC?

And finally, should I choose to just buy the motherboard, are there any resources I can look through to help me purchase the right motherboard for my needs? I plan to do some home-based audio recording, nothing too demanding. I already have an idea of what I'll need in terms or memory, CPU, etc.

The computer is a Dell Inspiron 1150 running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition with Service pack 2. Recently it was working fine however during its last use an IPOD was attached to it and while everything worked fine when the computer was later shut down and then turned on the next day the USB ports weren't working.
I have gone into the device manager and all the USB devices claim that they are working properly. I have tried uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling the drivers from the Dell website. I have also updated the BIOS. I even updated teh chipset drivers from the Dell website to no avail.
I have also run several of the Dell diagnostic tests and they claim that the USB ports are functioning normally.
I looked online and I have seen similar problems. Does anyone have a solution to this becuase the only other option that was presented to me was a suggestion of wiping the memory entirely and reinstalling the operating system. I would like that as a final resort.
