Thanks. It's been nothing but awesome so far. Best system I've ever had by far. It was so fun to research and order the parts and put it together that I almost want to water cool it right way just for the fun of it haha. If I can resist the urge I will end up going that route later on when I finally decide to overclock the cpu and gpu's.

Hey everyone Happy easter!

My windows vista laptop wont stay turned on, When I turn it on it stays on for about a minute then switches off. It is plugged in and the lights come on to show its trying to charge or something. But it keeps switching off. Also when it did work the cd drive didnt pick up any cds or dvds. The warrenty has expired, Ive sent it away twice when it had warrenty because the same thing happened and they replaced the battery about a year and half ago. The time before that they had to reboot it so I lost everything. I want to buy a E drive but they are expensive. Also I asked them to fix the sound which decides to stop working if I didn't play something as soon as I logged in, and continued playing it. But now it just won't even stay turned on. I tried safe mode but it still switched off before I could type my log in password. It had a option for start up repair (because it hadn't shut down properly) so I tried that and half way through the process same thing. Do I need a new battery? I'm going to take everything off the laptop when it turns on and buy a new one because Vista is annoying me. Please help.

@Shadowjk: You think that that is cluttered! Mine is far worse! lol.

Mine has massive piles of papers, jewel cases and boxes, installation disks, programming books, cables, cans of compressed air, pencils, rulers, homework, pliers, glues etc. etc. mounting up. They are piled too high to see the bottom of the screen, they slip off the desk, they block the printers out tray, and sit on top of the printer so that it is hard to slip things into the scanner, slips on top of the keyboard, clutters up the mousemat etc. etc.. Occasionally my mother tells me to clean it up, but it happens again within about two days.

And I have NO idea where anything is! But my bedroom is actually reasonably tidy! Only my desk!

Mine is just an Acer aspire 5315 with added memory and 60watt philips speakers, Light/Fan USB combo for cooling and light, 10port usb HUB, Logitech Keyboard , Mouse , and Web Cam...and an epson Printer/scanner/copier I use for work. Will Send Pics Shortly... I got to take the pics off my phone.

OK I here is my rig.....It is only a simple rig withlo0ts of extra gear on it
I got a pic of the printer scanner too..

I dont have tv in my room no more so I watch dvd's or netdlix online and also I got movies I dl I like to watch, my speakers makee it sound great.......60watters pwered by electricity...My whole rig is running off the power in my bathroom...Lost power in my room a while back...So I rigged up 2 15ft leads from my bathroom round my bed and to my powerstrip running my computer.

Sounds like you need to check your circuit breakers for the house.
