Another problem that you should also look at is 98SE probably will not have chip-set drivers for the new motherboards or CPU's. PuntoMX: You beat me to it, I just read your link "Did you check out this topic?" in your post.

Well, I downloaded that image and adjusted the brightness and contrast with Microsoft Office Picture Manager and then converted it to black and white with Paint. and it came out looking good.

I cannot resist as well, sorry. Going a little further back, 19,728,535.35 miles of punched paper tape at 8 8bit bytes per inch. http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/paper+tape

If you bought it localy ( IE neighborhood Best Buy or whatever instead of over the internet) when they replace your disk they probably could transfer your data over to your new disk for nominal fee.

There is a good thread on deciding which power supply to get over at extremesystems. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=108088

I though I posted that a couple of years ago? http://www.msfn.org/board/Life-is-tough-wh...pid-t71032.html

But if you are adventureous, you could start here. (as soon as the Sony eSupport site comes back up) http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/model-faq.pl?mdl=GDM400PS They are back up. Try the simple things first. The monitor power light is blinking and there is no picture. Solution Follow this procedure to troubleshoot the issue. NOTE: Because each of these steps represents a possible solution to this issue, check the monitor status after completing each step. Disconnect the monitor power plug, wait a few minutes, and then reconnect. Remove the monitor power plug from any surge protector or power strip and plug it directly into a known working electrical wall outlet. NOTE: If the monitor works correctly when removed from a surge protector or power strip and plugged directly into a known working electrical wall outlet, the source of the issue is the surge protector or power strip. Disconnect the monitor data cable from the computer, check for bent or broken pins. Perform a monitor self-test . NOTE: If the monitor self-test fails, the monitor may need service. If possible, connect the monitor to another computer. NOTES: If the monitor works on another computer, there is a problem with the original computer video hardware or software display settings. Some software, particularly games, allow for configuration of monitor settings such as screen size. Incorrect settings can cause the monitor lights to blink and the screen to be blank. If the issue is still unresolved after completing all of the troubleshooting steps, service may be required. (The power supply or the horizontal deflection circuitry has shorted)

Did you disable WakeOn lan in BIOS? If not, try that.

specialbao1, It's up to paq8.08 now and it will only take 12 hours to compress 316MB to 64MB. I don't think I'd want to wait as long as it would take to compress 50GB. KGB1.1(paq6) only takes 4.3 hours to do the same file to 75MB. http://www.maximumcompression.com/data/summary_mf.php

Then you’d probably want a front surface mirrors, meaning the light does not pass through glass before reflection. (Glass absorbs UV and thermal IR.) And if you want glass that would be about ten times the amount for the metal mirrors. Or you could always use aluminized mylar. http://scientificsonline.com/product.asp?p...hcd2=1201865481 Or just use a large fresnel lens... http://fresneloptic.com/html_en/solar_big_lens.htm

What are you going to use them for? Somthing like this maybe? http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/item...AL_MIRROR_.html

A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa , taking her faithful, elderly poodle named Cuddles, along for the company. One day the old poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch. The old poodle thinks, 'Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!' Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap the old poodle exclaims loudly, 'Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?' Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. 'Whew!' says the leopard, 'That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!' Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, 'Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine! Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, 'What am I going to do now?', but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says... 'Where's that d*mn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard! Moral of this story.... Don't mess with the old dogs...age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery! Bull____ and brilliance only come with age and experience.

An 8800GTS requires a minimum of 26A on the 12V rail, I wonder how long that 6600 ma/H battery will last?
