I'm not sure if there is, it should've stopped if I tilted the case... or not? I'll likely check that one out regardless.

Yeah... I already knew that. Read the 4th last paragraph please.

So I bought this POS noisy Corsair CX500 a year and a half ago, and on the 2nd day of using it, it started making mildly loud humming noises after leaving the PC on overnight for a memtest. At that time I wasn't sure what was making the noises, since it was a new build (all new components...

Thanks! Will pick the solution now, but if anyone has additional pointers, feel free to leave them here!

@mjslakeridge: Unfortunately in this case, I'm not renting a new place, I'm moving in with somebody else. I'm not sure if their renter would provide that, and also I'm not from the US, so I'm not sure if such a thing even exists. That's quite lame that they do that sort of a thing. I'm also...

@Herc08: Thanks again! @mjslakeridge: Good one! I did intend to remove the HDDs and carry them with me in my personal luggage, for the exact same concerns about data loss/snooping you mentioned. Unfortunately I'm not sure the shipper I intended to use offers insurance, as it's just a "shuttle"...

Thanks Herc08. Would adding clothes over the bubble wrap be okay? I wanted to pack those too. Also forgot to mention that I'll be adding the monitor (LCD-LED, in it's own original box) to the package too.

I apologise in advance if this question is not appropriate for this subforum. Since I'm moving in a few weeks, I was wondering what would be the best way to pack my PC (ATX mid-tower 47x40cm) for this long trip (~2000km). I'll be shipping my PC to the new address, so I'm likely going to pack...

So previously I had an older PC on which I had two SATA drives and an IDE one and on the latter I had Windows 7 installed (I kept it on that drive since I'm not using Windows 7 that often, I'm primarily using Debian as my daily go-to OS), but since then I got a new PC which has no connectivity...

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

I simply would like to ask you guys to look over this list and see if I made the right choices and if you'd have some suggestions for parts that would better suit me: CPU - Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core MOBO - MSI B85-G41 PC Mate ATX LGA1150 PSU - nJoy 450WGX RAM - Kingston Savage 8GB (2...

Confusing title, huh? Since the GXs and I suspect most of Dell's PCs don't have an on/off switch on the PSU I made the habit of turning off the power switch on the outlet when not using the PC (after shutting down the PC safely of course), but when I turn it on, the GX immediately boots without...
