Looks like I'm going to go Dish as DirectTV requires a 24 month contract and for a $49 setup fee dish doesn't have a contract.

Looking for new laptop recomendations
I have a friend that is getting ready to purchase her first laptop. She will be doing some traveling as she is just now finishing culinary school. I don't think she will have an interest in gaming on her laptop. Though I think she is just looking for a very well rounded laptop. She would like to kee...

Ok maybe I am a total idiot, but what white wires are you talking about? remove all the power connectors from ALL the drives, then remove all the cable from the drives and the MB.

All in all this is what I did. I took the two towers laid them on their side. The were both Optiplex gxa's. Since I was going to take the power supply from my old optiplex that I was no longer using.

So I figured it was the power supply. Now I've installed memory, cd/dvd drives, etc. However I've never installed a power supply. Well I...
