I want to build my own computer, and I recently passed an A+ certification course...so there's no problem there.

The problem lies here...

www.tigerdirect.ca

I can't find a singe motherboard that will match with the back of a case. That is fit, cause you know the stuff on the back of board has to meet up with the holes on the back of the case.

All the motherboards have their USB ports on the bottom, just above the speaker/mic ports. All the cases, however, have the USB port 'holes' just below the Ps2 ports at the very top of the case.

It's a little frustrating going through all the products, trying to find a match...so is it possible remove that backing on the case, so that I can just fit the motherboard in?

It's wierd, cause they're selling premade start up kits...which of course are cheap trash...but they're using the products on the site...those motherboards and cases I talked about earlier.

A few days ago I came home to find my (not even a year old yet) G4 17" Powerbook frozen. Rebooted and got stuck on the loading screen. The people at the Apple store informed me the hard drive was shot and that it can't even "read the directory".

Does anyone know of a way I can salvage my files without spending $500 on recovery fees? I've already tried the NVRAM reset and got stuck at the loading screen again. the PMU reset did nothing. Any ideas, guys?

I need to buy a laptop, and i need your recommendation. I will be using it for mostly work and website creation/editing.

I do not need for gaming...

My budget is below $2000 but do not want to compromise on quality.

I was using an Apple but i would like to switch to another brand, because i don't think it is compatible with other laptops.

An Apple iMac is not so compatible with other computers, right?

I reformatted my computer, and it has it's sound card built into the motherboard so I'm not sure what type it is, does anyone know how I can figure that out? If I can find what type it is I can easily enough find a driver for it.

Thanks,

Anyone have any idea where I can buy a NEW Canon printer in the UK?

any of these models will do: BJC-2000, S100SP, S330, IP1000, IP1500, IP2000, MP360, MP270 or MPC200,

I know they may all be discontinued now but as i have quite a few ink cartridges I don't want to start from scratch with different printers.

When I go into power management, the comp senses the batt and the amount of charge in it. If you unplug the power cord, the unit shuts off. It will not boot on battery either. Is there something in the software that prohibits battery usage?
Thanks for your help! Dave

Got a new MacBook in May (white), and it keeps shutting off suddenly while I'm using it! It does this every few hours. I think it shuts off quicker when it is hot, but I'm not sure.
Suggestions?
Is this happening to anyone else?
