You should come out, I could easily give you directions cause it really isn`t hard to find at all...

PIII 450
128 mb ram
13 gb hd
32 mb video

how about u guys tell me da time n i'll see if i can make it?

cuz i get off da grad cruise ship around 5am Saturday morning :lol

Hmm well it shouldn't be THAT loud, but I guess it also depends on how many startup programs you have running...

Damn dude, I don't think you're gonna be in any shape for pool :p

we don't really have a time set right now, but I get off work at 9:00 so perhaps after then..

only 7 programs

norton Anti-virus
icq
volume control
sound
ati
disk detector
SB Live

Get quieter fans.

...you...uh...shouldn't...

It doesn't matter how much stuff you load...

If you have an old ass HD that makes lots of weird loading noises, then it's time to buy a new HD. If you have a loud humming noise, then you'll want to get a new heatsink fan and case fans.

9pm?

well i've had this comp for over 2 years now

where could i go to get a good heatsink fan and case fan?

cuz normally when da comp is on it makes a lil humming noise/whirling noise but now is kinda higher pitched for me

its harder 2 sleep now when its on

Well when my laptop had a lot of programs to start up when I started the comp up it really struggled at the beginning to load em all up making lots of noise, but when I reduced it, its a lot smoother startup now...

yup :)

yeah thats what i thought too....

hmm how about u pm me the directions and if i can make it den i'll show up if not den i'll prolly be at home sleeping

hmm you live in Burnaby ehÉÉÉ if you know how to get to lougheed then it should be really easy for you to find..
but ya, I`ll pm you the directions..

That's probably your internal fan. See, when you have more programs open, the CPU usage is higher and therefore, it runs hotter. Hotter temperatures trigger the heat sensitive thermoresistors that tell the fans to turn their asses on.

I can hook you up with a new one...hand built by me...and I guarantee I do a better, cleaner job than any of the computer stores around here...

...and I do mods on the case and...loads of warez. :D

yeah i live in burnaby

could u give me directions from brentwood mall? or brentwood lanes?

im not good with directions to coquitlam

haha warez :p

how much would it cost?

isn`t that the problem hes having thoughÉ

Did you get my PM
just follow Lougheed passed Brentwood lanes till ya get to Lougheed Mall..

man Supreven i miss that Afro dude avatar u had b4

Disco Stu?? ya I know, I liked that avatar too, maybe I'll find or make a modified one later... :)

I just bought this....

Athlon XP 1800+
Gigabyte GA-7VRXP (KT333)
512MB DDR333 PC2700 Samsung RAM

Uh...about 180 each for the proc and the mobo...another 195 for the RAM.

The rest of my computer (which I had prior to the three aforementioned parts...) is...

60GB ATA133 7200rpm Maxtor D740X
20GB ATA100 7200rpm WD
ATI Radeon 7500 64MB DDR
SB Audigy Gamer
LiteOn 24x10x40 CDRW
Pioneer 106s 16x DVD-ROM Slot loading
InWin Q500N Full Tower (2' tall)

...8 case fans...uh...various stuff.

Dunno how much it would cost...I put together a system for my aunt with the same proc, mobo and RAM but with a slower video card and a Live! 5.1 sound card and a 40GB HD for about $1200 after taxes.
