BTX Motherboards: Price Range Help!! in PC Hardware WinCustomize Forums

Following the link provided by Extreme Tech I was given, I saw the crazy differences between prices for what seemed to be the same board. BTX is a new (if you call a few years old new) mother board layout that is suppossed to replace the ATX form factor. Great. So why does a 249 dollar motherboard cost 300 or 2000 dollars? I can see if the FSB was super high on one and not the other, but they all seem the same. microBTX verses picoBTX verse

Reply to DesktopX Scripting: Learning the Basics, Part 3 in DesktopX Tutorials WinCustomize Forums

This is really good of you to help others with this. I haven't talked about my project to help lost children get found in a while because I have been so busy. I hope if you have time, you can help me and a few others create a DesktopX widget as part of helping to find missing children. Anyway, I hope you have more tutorials.

Why? Because there's BIG things coming for the skinning world. It may not have seemed that way lately right? Been a little quiet? That's because a lot of things are being worked on that you will see start to show up over the next year. Windows Vista is coming, the Vista sidebar is coming, some really interesting new...things ar

Reply to Why Would Anyone Be a Truck Driver? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I thought about doing it. After reading your story I am sort of glad I didn't. That death rate is pretty high buddy. Then again, the pay is pretty good. One company I saw in the paper said they would pay 60,000 a year (or was it 45,000??? I can't remember) I like driving, but I can't take to much of it because other motorist get on my nerves. Never the less, driving a truck just seems very different from a car or even a bus.

I'm sort of tired so maybe my instructions are a little off... but the repair option is a good bet.

Reply to Computer Won't Shut Down in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

You OS might be corrupted at this point. I read that you did a repair, is that correct? Did you put the XP CD and boot your computer with it and then when Windows XP ask you to full install, you selected yes? From there, XP asked if you want to do a repair and you select yes? Before you do this (but it might save time if you do a repair first), back up all data important to you and do the following... it might help. (By the way, you shouldn't

Reply to Development traffic jam! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I'm mad as hell. For a couple of years, we've heard your constant whining about Wincustomize being an independant entity from Stardock and we need to pay for the bandwidth, servers and everything else you threw our way. We renew our ObjectDesktop subscription once a year, we renew our WC subscription every other year (remember, S

Draginol, you should put this on the front page of JoeUser when it comes back on line fully... sometime next week! lol I would love to see the statistics on how many people wanted to come to the sites. Knowing you, you''ll post that. Lets hope the front page news doesn't get 'The Digg Effect'. Better have those new servers ready. I wonder if their will be a win-fall for WinCustomize??? More Subscriptions?

P.S. I note that Digg STILL hasn't removed the offending article. As far as I am concerned since the person that posted it admitted he fabricated the quote, he shouldn't have the right to post news to their site. Digg isn't very good at removing offending articles actually. Their system isn't as good
