Zxian, nice setup indeed! With the software of Clarkconnect it could be a cheap solution indeed, so I second the list you made. But, the downside is that it’s based on a SiS chipset and a Celeron 220 (1.2 GHz) and doesn’t have so much expandability (lack of PCI-E/PCI slots and SATA). If you like to use it as a fileserver as well and you like to have split networks or anything like that, I would go for something else. A Celeron 4x0 with an Intel 965G based motherboard in a uATX housing would not draw that much more power then a Celeron 2x0 and SiS 662 chipset; All depends on the PSU by the way . I have been looking for low power consumption PCs for some time now and see that iNTEL is the only way to go for now, even the Pentium E21x0 series draw way less then the BE Athlon series from AMD, and that’s under full load or OS load. You would be surprised if I say that a Celeron consumes almost the same as a Core2 E2xxx/E4xxx based system, differences will be not more then 5Watts max.! By the way, Clarkconnect doesn’t make use of multicore CPUs…

I have seen this problem when RAM is faulty, are you sure your hardware is okay?

Looks like you are updating your office, I have seen this before. I think I just kept the office components like excel.exe and winword.exe were it was and used the update function (this was like 7 years ago but it could be the same with the new versions). What version did you buy any way? --- EDIT --- By the way, make sure you have administrator rights. What OS are you using on your computer?

First, always make backups. Second, if data gets corrupted you can use the recovery tool that comes with Microsoft office so you don’t need extra tools for that. Just check your installation CD and install that option if it wasn’t installed already. By the way, Welcome to the forum .

And move data without a PC? For sure there needs a power source somehow so it can’t be only a cable...

TAiN, I ´m wondering now what a SD port is then? Can you post us a picture or a link please?

Just a waist of money as I can see it... Like ripken204 said, the Core2 Q6600 would do fine, also go for a x35 or x38 RAID chipset and if you can wait a few months the x48 (All from Intel). For RAM I would pick 800MHz DDR2 (non-ECC) by the way...

I though we were talking about the card shown in post 1 , not the link you gave us, that just has the name but it´s a USB TV-tuner... --- EDIT --- Okay, it´s not USB, it´s the breakout box with a TV tuner .

AMD Athlon XP 2200+@1900MHz socket A (462)

That’s interesting; do you have some info of the Control System?

No it’s not Vista only, most of the people would use this kind of motherboards for HTPC systems with Windows Media Center Edition on it, so that’s based on XP. I would try a BIOS update, also make sure you set the right TV system e.g. PAL or NTSC. Other then that; it could be a driver problem like ripken204 stated .

It has no frequency converter part on it so it can’t be a TV-tuner card. It’s just to code/decode MPEG layer 2 in real-time...

I would only by it the legal way, it’s not for home use, it’s for my business. 99 US$ comes close to a complete PC. The cost of a PC will be 150US$ for a simple Celeron 4x0 based system at this moment.

Especially the cable and connections...

I thought about it too, but then it would not underline the word again in red. You could indeed try to delete the word "loong" in the custom dictionary, if it’s there...

Replace the ribbon cable and / or try it alone on the cable, set jumpers on CS (Cable Select), use an 80 wire cable. Try that first. If no luck then try an other burning program, could be one of those nice bugs of Nero .

2x Will give you almost the same results...

The drivers of the chipset that darph linked will work, but you need the breakout box or the cable clutch to make it work, this is why the 25p connector is there on the back. Just a basic video to MPEG/Motion-JPEG 1/2 coder/decoder.

Must be 40kg or 88lbs or so , I have tables seen snapping under there monsters. Did you make a choice already?

What a crapy site... Any way, here is what I would say: iNTEL Core2 Q6600 ASUS P5K Deluxe Any case you like without a PSU... Seagate 500GB Hard disk ACER 20" or 22" LCD/TFT Screen Any keyboard you personally like, I would test them before buying any, e.g. hold the mouse in your hand and test the keys of the keyboard if they fit you... Logitech and Microsoft are favorites to many. Corsair 520Watt PSU Corsair CM2X1024 RAM, that should be 2 times 1GB at 800MHz I think, can’t see it right... XFX nVidia GF 8800GTS 640MB PCI-E That would make a cool gaming machine, I hope it’s under 2000US$, just make the calculation . Optional you can go with 4 x 1GB sticks if you like.

Thanks guys, I will look at all options. DL, that´s 99US$ for each user, and there is less to none info on dual PCI-E cards in there FAQ. Let me contact them.

20.8" Visible then... Did you already make a choice?

Don´t forget to read the first post here please, I moved it but a part of it should be in this topic.

Topic pinned .

Hi there, I could calculate a system of 5000US$ if you want, but does that help you? We need a budget here, and were you are going to buy your parts. Do you know how to build a computer?
