Question by B.B.: Can I put an Intel motherboard in a case that is only compatible with ATX / m-ATX motherboards?
I was planning on building my own computer. I ordered an Intel motherboard and Intel processor off of newegg.com, and now they won’t fit in my case. I didn’t notice the ‘ATX / m-ATX compatible’ until it arrived earlier today. In the back of the case where the USB devices, Ethernet cord, microphone, headphone, etc. plug in, my motherboard doesn’t match up. Do I have to return this case and buy a new one, or is there a way of getting it to fit?

The new motherboard should have come with the new I/O shield. You just pop out the old one and insert the new one and everything should line up.

You are saying that you do not want to order through the internet, right?
If you really have to do your transactions face-to-face, you can’t get out of physically going there, by car, bike, or walking.
Many stores will ship to you if you pay shipping charges.
However, you should try ordering through the internet. I have done so too many times to remember, and I have had only one problem where the product was DOA ( dead on arrival ). And maybe a couple of times where the shipment was lost, but insurance covered that.

If you just got Vista, that might be the problem…Vista isn’t compatable with a lot of older hardware and software. Did you try turning it off and back on again?

Question by : Confused about computer memory and USB flash drives space?
I was looking at this website: http://www.crucial.com/support/howmuch.aspx and found out that a regular computer has about 2 GB of memory. And also recently i had bought a 16 GB USB flash drive and i know that a computer holds a LOT of space so how come the usb’s dont? Sorry if this is a dumb question for some of you but im not that smart at computers so help would be appreciated. Thank you!

By memory, they mean RAM (Random Access Memory) which is totally different from Hard Drive space.
The average computer will have about 4gb of RAM and maybe 500gb or 750gb of Hard Drive space.
Newer computers can have more.
Your memory stick falls under Hard Drive space, as it acts as a portable hard drive.

Question by James: Best 2-disk NAS enclosure (already have two 350gb IDE drives) capable of RAID mirroring?
I have two relatively new IDE 350gb internal hard drives I’d like to use in a NAS device. External USB drives won’t work becuase I need to easily share the files among a network even when some of the stations are off. I currently have the drives in an old PII box which is noisy, cumbersome and unreliable. I figure today’s NAS boxes would be smaller, quieter and easier to manage. Problem is I can’t find one that meets these requirements!!
Thanks for the reply Sam F. The Ifrant looks from the specs to accept only SATA drives, but otherwise it would work ($ 2k though, yikes!). It seems to me that anything retail that would accomplish what I need is hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Maybe I’m better off getting a newer/quieter bare-bones small form factor PC and calling it a day.

Question by Voce: I am new to raid controllers but would like to know how to perform this setup.?
I have a 64gb ssd that I would like for the os and drivers only and I have 2 x 1tb hhd’s that I would like mirror driven
Best answer:
Answer by Anonymous
In principle you would connect the 64GB SSD drive to a separate controller, and you would connect the two 1TB HDDs to the RAID controller. In the BIOS interface screen for the RAID controller you would add the two discs to a RAID 1 array (mirroring) and then initialize the drives.
In order to detect the SSD (if it requires any extra drivers) you may need to supply a driver disc during the OS installation, and you will undoubtedly need to supply drivers for the RAID controller so the OS can detect the RAID array.
Once done, you can format the RAID array to whatever file system you like. Personally, I’ve found that NTFS with the a cluster size of 4K seems to get a little slow (I run a RAID 1 array with two 2TB drives — as I’m using WinXP and the drive is a boot drive, I can’t make the cluster size any larger).
As your RAID array is not a boot disk, you can format it to whatever cluster size you like. A size of 64K would make the disc a little inefficient for storing many small files, but will make the number of clusters smaller and thus more manageable. If the interface for formatting the drive under the OS doesn’t provide the larger cluster size, consider going to the command-line interface and using the “format” command there.

Answer by Minister of Truth
you could try companies such as newegg,tigerdirect online but you might have a better luck going to a bestbuy or walmart and purchasing them in person. I just did a sample 100 drive purchase on tigerdirect and it was $ 887.53 for 100 drives with next day 4:30 delivery.
