Or, do like I do when the Jehovah's Witness' or Mormons show up at
the door. I tell them I will listen to their pitch but, they first
have to listen to my pitch to become a Catholic. Usually the say not
thank you and get on their way.


You really truly are a dumb foch. I am not talking here about the door
to door church people.

Enlighten me Mr. Genius! What is the difference between the President of
the US saying God Bless and the guy knocking on your door with the
intent on converting you to his religion?


Neither of those events concern me.

There are quite a few. Most of them concern churchies trying to force
their beliefs on the rest of society. I'll bet with that hint, you can
figure out one or two of them.

Vic,
I thought the cases were fairly standard, and you just ordered them
based upon what motherboard you wanted to use and how many bays you
wanted to use.

Is there more to it?

Depends on your needs. *John said something about going inside and
messing with them. *If you're going to do that a lot (I've built about
10 PC's) you want a case that makes it easy. * If you're not, you
won't care, except you still want a quality power supply, the power
supply often being bundled with the case.
I prefer big honking cases that allow real easy parts replacements,
substitutions.
Here's the one for this computer, and my others are big variations.
I have plenty of work space.

Very easy to work with - massive and well thought.
I did a newegg review, but it looks like they discontinued the case
and the link is an "open box"
Think I paid $120 unpowered.

--Vic
Vic, here's a question for you. I've tried two different USB hubs.. When I
plug them in, Windows starts looking for drivers and can find none. I've
tried going back to the XP reinstall disk, but Windows can't find drivers
there either.

Any ideas?

Anyone can jump on this, BTW.

* * * * *John H
The two hubs you tried are they the same brand/model? *It's hard to believe
that the generic USB drivers included with XP will not work.

Are the hubs USB 1 or USB 2?

Try the hub manufacturer's web site for driver information.

Different brands. I'm thinking that maybe the driver files in XP may be
bad. They're USB2.

Maybe an upgrade to VISTA is needed :)

WOW! There's an idea!

Let's see..;.new card, $10.99.

Vista...$143.00

Vista frustration...Priceless.

I like the card idea better.

Soooo, who is actually having problems with Vista here. We have it all
over the place here on dual boot systems, and friends are running it,
no one has jumped out a window yet (pardon the pun;). Anyway, anyone
here "running" vista actually had or having any problems cause my
expereince for basic home business and home computing has been fine?

problems that you can report?- Hide quoted text -

Let's see if you have any smarts...

I don't care what religions do (within reason) within their houses of
worship, nor do I care what believers do in their homes. I am only
concerned when those religions or believers try to shove their beliefs
onto my secular society. This is NOT a Christian nation, a Jewish
nation, a Muslim nation, et cetera. I don't want a bunch of Christian
nut cases determining what is taught in public schools, when "life"
begins, whether we should have abortions, what sort of stem cell
research is ok, what stores can remain open on Sunday, et cetera.

Got it now?
