    Extending Home network

    Thanks for the info Nelviticus. I always like to keep and open mind and learn where possible. What do you think of this concept in an apartment complex? Since apartments conceptually share the same power lines (or do they?... dunno, I'm not a powerline tech)... would the chance for security...

    Data Backup

    Duh. (Slaps self upside head). You're 110% right Declaro. I've used that method more than once and didn't think to mention it here. That is by far one of the easiest data transfer methods going. Don't even have to copy the data into a folder; once the old C is set as a slave, can directly...

    Require advice on setup small wireless network for house.

    Cdogg: In understand your points. I'm not denying that wireless has its place. Just making the point that quite often people think they need wireless when a wired connection would serve the purpose better. Like I mentioned above, eventually the "wireless" concept will get some real brains...

    PSU..400 Not enough???

    Occam's Razor applies so many time. No power: dead power supply. :D Different folks have different experiences though. I've tried ordering from Tiger twice and both times had bad experience. My biggest complaint is their tendency to "hype" the items they sell (ie, make them sound better...

    RESTART problems if PCIe installed

    See what you think of this: The MyBook is an external hard drive. No drivers (except from standard Windows USB and HD access drivers). System doesn't even recognize it as being there unless it is plugged in and turned on. So your feedback on this: if I'm right... doesn't that automatically...
