    Cotton Candy Pre-Order now open

    I think you may be overestimating the scale of uptake there. Indeed, citing Zune actually serves to demonstrate my point! The vast array of plugins for XBMC says otherwise. Those videos were trial demos. Once the compiled codebase is fully optimised for the ARMv6 and XBMC is tuned for the...

    Cotton Candy Pre-Order now open

    DRM is dying a slow death and Netflix is very much a niche requirement. The majority of people wanting a small, power-efficient av media computer will be well catered for by openelec and raspbmc. The Raspberry Pi is set to redefine the small av media computer market. Bye-bye AppleTV. If you...

    Cotton Candy Pre-Order now open

    Exactly. A powerful phone with HDMI and host mode USB isn't going to cost much more. The Cotton Candy is a gimmick; it might sell well in the short term to gadget magnets, but at the current price point, it hasn't got much of a future. The Raspberry Pi will squeeze it from below, and the mobile...

    Power issue with new board.

    If 550w was overkill, then 580w is just a waste of money. :p On the bright side, at least you've got two PSUs you can test against the K8N, to see whether its a power problem or not!

    Asus A8N-VM CSM Micro ATX (Socket 939) PCI Express Motherboard

    Yes, it has 2 outputs - 1xVGA and 1xDVI-D Other boards? Theres loads - do some research! Virtually every recent Micro ATX has onboard graphics, but not necessarily a PCIE-16X slot for graphics cards.

    Help! I think PSU blew my mboard

    If there is any sign of damage, definately do not hook up your new PSU to that board or you may end up having to buy a 3rd PSU... Assuming you haven't got an uber gfx card or loads of drives, the 330w Antec should've coped. The 2 that I've seen burn out (one of them quite literally), didn't...

    Power issue with new board.

    They are completely pin compatible. My 20 pin Truepower 430w is plugged into a 24 pin AN8 Ultra and is perfectly happy powering an X800GTO2 and a Venice 3000 @ 2.7GHz... However, the extra 4 terminals on a 24 pin connector (+12v, +5v, +3, GND) are there to accommodate motherboards with high...

    Chipset fan not spinning on ABIT NF7-S V2

    Yeah, if its not clogged, its failed. The chipset fan on NF7s is pretty crappy in terms of lifespan. If you want something similar to replace it, Vantec do some very similar circular chipset coolers.

    Foxconn 6150K8MA-8EKRS owners...

    Could someone do me a favour and check the height of the NB heatsink on the 6150K8MA-8EKRS? I'd like to know whether I'm likely to be able to mount a Zalman 7000 series cooler without having to mess around sawing the tops off heatsinks... ;)

    HELP! my beloved NF7-s v2 won't wake

    If the BIOS chip is corrupted, would you still be getting POST beeps? All the boards I've come across that have suffered a bad flash never beep... Be sure this is the problem before you try for a chip replacement... Take out the CMOS battery and leave the board awhile to be sure the data is...
