Instead of getting rid of my old computer, I thought maybe I could use it as a external hard drive. Is this possible without taking the machines apart?

My friend has a pc with widescreen monitor that doubles as a tv which is pretty cool but I don't think the iMac has a PCI slot for tv tuner card. What are other solutions? I'd love to watch tv on that 20" screen right on my desk.

Hi, I am about to purchase a laptop, and it seems to have 802.11 a/b/g wireless thing. I also have a desktop at home with DSL connection. (SBC 2wire)

Anyway,

If I get my laptop, do I need a router and a wireless card for my desktop? Is there any other things i need?

And, is there any difference between wireless and wired connection? I prefer wireless but speed is the most important thing to me..

Any product you guys recommend (router/ wireless card/ any other thing, I prefer affordable gadgets, but if they suck, i don't want them-.-at all)?

I've had a Hewlett Packard wireless mouse for maybe seven months now and recently I replaced the batteries in the mouse. It seemed to go as normal but after resynchronizing the mouse with the receiver the cursor moved sluggisly for a moment or two then completely ceased responding as if the batteries had died. Neither of the buttons or the scroll wheel would respond so I assumed it was faulty batteries and cursed Energizer but after trying a second then third pair and getting the same results each time I became worried that something may have broken. Is this a problem with the mouse hardware or with the interface between mouse and receiver? It was very expensive and I'd like to avoid having to purchase another any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't know anything about computers but after doing a little research this is what I have learned...
I have a Sony Viao PCV-RX650 here are the specs
http://www.docs.sony.com/release/specs/PCVRX650spec.pdf
My current graphics card is NVIDIA TNT2 M64 32MB 4x AGP 3D
I only play the sims2 and due to my graphics card it runs a bit slow and I can't run any of the exp packs that require either a graphics card that is:
ATI Radeon 8500 or greater or...
NVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS or greater
So I need to upgrade to either of those options.
I know the Viao doesn't have the greatest power supply; but can someone suggest graphics card that would meet those needs. I would be sooo greatful. I was looking at this one http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2940959&CatId=880
would it work?

I leave to go to the b.r., my buddy not only used his fingers to spread the thermal compound, some also spread down one side slightly. What can I do? What are the reprocussions? Has this happened to anyone else??? I'm freaking out!
Athlon X2 64 6000 (3. ghz). I believe that it's silicon compound (not arctic silver) which I believe it's non-conductive. It's the compound that came with my Zalman 9500. Help PLEASE!
