Reply to Good review of free Windows backup programs. in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

My frustration with Windows backup program is none seem to have search capability. If I discover that I've deleted a file I have to try each backup set until I find the one it's on, before I deleted it. It would be nice to enter a filename and have the software search and select the most recent or all backup sets containing the file.

Reply to So I've Started On a New Build in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

BTW, I meant Thermaltake. I have one of their cases but it didn't cost $1299, probably under US$200. I don't know the exchange rate to make a proper price comparison.

Reply to So I've Started On a New Build in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I can see the case is a Thermaltake. Which model? And I may have missed it but how much did the system cost to build, if I may ask. I am alos upgrading my system in 2015 and am going with more modest specs, 16 gb RAM, Athlon 4 ghz CPU and keeping all my existing drives and video card, case and PSU. Even at that with a motherboard I am looking at nearly $400.

You might be able to use Skinstudio to change the button images to larger ones. They would probably need to be wider rather than taller so you don't intrude on space outside the app window.
