Hi,
As most of the people that had bad experiences with printers, I am trying to find something that I can rely on when I need it.

I have a inject printer that just dried its ink and that after buying new ink wasted everything to get it fixed.

I have decided to buy a good laser printer but now that I found a lot of "goods and bads" on many of these printers I just don't know what to aim for.

what would you recommend as a good laser printer. Price can be around 300.00 but I am not sure about the consumables that get your pocket going every month. Will it be better to find a high printer with low cost ink or a low cost printer with hight cost ink? I am interested in good quality text and medium quality graphics.

Thank you

The system device manager says that I have 2 radeon x300s/x550/x1050 series GPUs. Are these good enough to run, say, Windows Vista, Supreme Commander, Halo 2 PC, etc?

I have the solid amber orange light on the motherboard and on the power button I looked around and tried everything nothing fixed it.

there used to be a Intel Pentium 4 processor in the motherboard but I changed it and put in a Intel Celeron D into it. Could this be the problem?

When I turn on the computer, nothing happens but the fan moves and the solid amber lights. nothing on the screen.
the led lights on the back of the computer (ABCD) are all off.


What do I have to do to all fix this?

I Have A Computer Steering Wheel That Has 15 Pins on It.
The Top Row of Pins Has 8 on Top.
The Bottom Row of Pins has 7 on Bottom.

Well, I Have No Plugs on My Computer or Laptop that Support That, And I'm Not Sure of An Adapter, or Anything that Will Allow Me To Use It.

Links Would Be Helpful.


Thank You

Someone gave me a free laptop. The hard drive, mgz, and ram are fine but the monitor is crappy. It is a VGA 16 bit color monitor. I need atleast 256 colors. If I install a better graphics card will this solve my problem?
Anyone know?

OK so I bought a Gateway laptop with my graduation money on bestbuy.com and recieved it in June, in September the hard drive went out and I took it to the geek squad at the local best buy, they fixed it but about three weeks ago the hard drive went out again and best buy had to send it to gateway to be fixed( because they thought it was the motherboard) so anyway gateway has had my computer this whole time and i still havent got it back yet, I have complained to gateway about the product because this is the second time this happened and i think they should send me a new coputer since i havent even had this one for a year but they wont send me one and basically arent backing up their warranty.

what should i do? i'm a college student and cant afford to buy a new computer or have this kind of stuff keep happening. BTW, i am using someone else's desktop to ask this question so no stupid answers like "how are you asking this question when you don't have your computer?"
