to the desktop tower is there a hookup that would allow you to connect a desktop power supply to it so you can use the standard plug to power the unit

I just got a new system:
E6600
ASUS P5N-E SLI motherboard (with firmware 401)
Corsair Dominator 2GB 800Mhz DDR2

What's the best way to start overclocking? I haven't done it with any of the new chips and I don't want to fry anything.

My case is cooled with 3 120mm fans (side, back & front) and I have a Cooler Master Hyper TX on the E6600 for some extra cooling (used Artic Blue as paste).

So where do I start? I can't seem to set the FSB or unlink the FSB from the PCI, etc.... even in MANUAL mode.

Any specific timings, voltages, etc. would be GREATLY appreciated.

I have a Sony Viao PCG-731 that was given to me by a relative for free. It has a 200mhz processor, two 64MB sticks, and Microsoft 2000 on it. I have cleared out most of the memory and save my files to my 512MB USB. The question I have is that I want to watch downloadable video with ease. I know it is an older laptop and am not expecting too much out of it. I only use it for the internet and some word documents and would like to be able to watch some video clips. It plays video clips but it is very choppy (plays then pauses for a moment and then plays some more). Plus some clips play better than others (why?). I would like to know if there is a program that I can download or something to make this work easier? Is there anything I can do to the settings that might help (I have Windows Media, Quick Time, and Real Player)? What about a video card (would my laptop support one?)? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Routine maintenance would be:

Removing jams
Re-filling paper
Replacing ink catridges


So what would be non-routine maintenance?

My PC comes on of its own accord and after a short while goes off without completing the booting process. It has been running fine until a few days ago that it started acting this funny.
What can be the problem here and how can it be solved?
