Right, so my CPU HS borked

it's a Zalman 9700, and I really don't feel like removing the mobo to install a new back-plate, so buying a new 9700 would definitely be easiest. It's like, £30.95 and for £1 more I can get the PWM version. I assume they're both compatible with the same back-plate, so I might as well. Or is dat liek dumb?

Also, find me a screwdriver that'll fit that and the rest of my PC components (they're all the same size, no?)

This is more than you'll ever need

Regarding the HS issue, I can't find any concrete evidence that they use the exact same backplate, but it'd be stupid to change it, right?

Cooler Master CM 690 II is love.

if it had an extra cm between the motherboard panel and the side of the case it would be perfect.

getting a weird bug in firefox, watching any videos (youtube/bbc iplayer/redtube for example) in fullscreen causes the video to freeze up after a few seconds, but the audio keeps going. flicking back to normal size and it runs fine. any ideas?

Is there a product out there that works like a TIVO without the TIVO fee? Or some workaround without having a PC running? I want to record over air broadcasts, scheduled like how Satellite DVRs work.

I may have asked this somewhere before but I don't remember the answer I got...

What should I use to clean the velvet ear pads on my headset (Creative Fatal1ty)?

Never had any problems or heard any complaints from people that I know have them. Just the desktops.

That's because 90% of their userbase are teenagers who watch Youtube and go on Facebook or single mums surfing dating sites trying to find the missing man in their life.

Just kidding, can't really go wrong with a big-brand laptop nowadays.
