is there any way to connect a cd-drive to a mobo without using IDE? 2 IDE pins on my mobo are bent

You can get SATA drives.
Unless the drive is SATA, I don't think so. Use tweezers to bend the pins back straight.Uzique wrote:

Yeah, that's why I went for a high-end netbook instead of a low-end notebook. But the site I ordered from told me they were able to get one shipped to me by tomorrow after all so all's well.CapnNismo wrote:
Just keep looking for a place that has netbooks for the right price and that are in stock. Otherwise you'll have to go with a budget laptop and that's not a good idea.Lucien wrote:

It's really amazing how often people ask me if my phone is some kind of Iphone, just because its touch screen.

my virgin cable has been like that lately, too, since they rolled out their 'nationwide 50-100Mb upgrades' and then slyly introduced a 'traffic shaping' system on the back of their cunning smoke-screen... was downloading at 30-75kbps earlier on a 50Mb fibre-optic cable line. great work! also their traffic management system, designed to block 'P2P' programs, regards most games and Steam's content distribution as a form of 'P2P'. result: can't play during peak times.
the icing on the cake? their definition of peak time is basically 11am->11pm

residential isn't terrible, something like 11down/5up for $55/mo
to upgrade to 4 down would cost me $40/mo, lolnoty.

everything i write is a ramble and should not be taken seriously.... seriously. ♥
After taxes, dvr and other crap thrown in, I pay $135 a month for tv/internet/phone. Better than the $190 I was paying to TWC before I switched.Bevo wrote:
