I am not sure which way should the rear fan face when I install them. Should I make the side with the company logo facing inside the case or opposite? Hope someone knows what I am talking about, thank you.

I am looking to buy a laptop for myself, I have a zune mp3 player, I am a sim fanatic, attend college, also a scrapbooker and need photo editing software. I would like to know brand suggestions, memory, hard drive, operating software suggestions. I also want to buy a desktop for my father he is new to today's computers and wants to explore. I currently have a emachines t3104 desktop with amd sempron 3300, 100gb hard drive and 256 md ram. and a dell inspiron 5100 with intel pentium 4cpu 2.80ghz and 256 md ram ( i think 40 g hard drive). I am willing to upgrade either instead of purchasing new. (I need one for my son and one for me) Open to any and all suggestions

I don't have a normal keyboard....It is almost like a laptop keyboard. Here's a link so you can see what kind of keyboard it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL72Sa8Nnns I don't know if it makes a difference that I have a different keyboard, but I wrote it just in case. And if you know, could you please say how to take the keys off?

Dell D410.

Going to Czech Republic, France, and Spain.

I've read various things on the Internet. Some say to use a converter, some say don't. And I cannot find anything on the Dell site that answers the question.

Have you done this? If so, what is the safest, easiest way?

It's considerably cheaper to buy a reconditioned laptop from the Currys or PC World website. Does anyone have experience with one of these? Is it a bad idea, or a great deal?

I need a scanner for my home office that can turn scanned items into a pdf document for storage on my harddrive. The primary use of the scanner is to save legal and accounting type documents.

I only want to spend up to 200 dollars.

Thanks for your input.

I want to switch my hard drives round so that it works with my other computer but when i try to do it i get nothing but a black screen with a flashing line in the top left corner of the screen.. My mother board is M825G V9.2 A or C

M825G V.9.2C - The maxtor 40 gb hard drive i was using with this motherboard was running windows xp (fat32) i am trying to replace that with a hard drive out of a compaq deskpro computer which is maxtor 20gb (ntfs) - whilst keeping windows xp which was running on the compaq deskpro intact i have the hard drive i want to put in it now on this machine running (compaq deskpro) so i can adjust it before moving it over to the m825g but when i put it into the m825g (the one out of the compaq) it does not work.. and the only conclusion i can come to is that this motherboard does not support ntfs?? or does it?? or do i need to install something prior to moving it? or will this not work at all? i do not want to delete windows from the hard drive how can i do this

I am having problems with my home pc. It loads Windows OK but then when it says "detected new hardware, digital still camera" it crashes and I get the dreaded blue screen. I have tried booting in safe mode but pressing F8 doesn't give me an option to load in safe mode, I get the choice of booting with floppy, CD or the "normal". Is there any other way to boot my pc in safe mode?
