My ASUS Zepherus M16, is now a heaping pile of Parts. The fans were making noise, I contacted ASUS support, they said they do not sell parts to anyone, and I could send it back to them, round trip 15 days. Tried to replace fans myself, found replacements on Amazon. Screwed up the replacement...

Have had my wireless router for at least 5 years now. It supports 11b, 11g, and 11n. I am building a new PC that has support for 6 e. The router is an Actiontec c1000A. Should I contact my provider and ask for a replacement of this archaic equipment.

Is there a shortage of memory in the world? Most of my parts are here except the memory. Delivery 12/22-26. Would it be possible to get some cheap memory from Beast Buy, to get the system up and running, until the good stuff comes. If so, what would be the cheapest I could use on the system ie...

Ahh, the Registry, Whoever came up with that idea, and thought it would be good for windows, should be Taken to the Hague, and prosecuted for "Crime Against Humanity."

Does the fresh install still have the do not format, leave files in place option. I believe I still have the downloads necessary to re-install all my goodies and games. I believe in KISS computing, MS tends to overcomplicate simple functions. I prefer original Outlook for mail, although they...

I am just looking for something for deskside, That doesn't scream "I am a Computer". The suggested build has ATX mid tower, that would probably be OK.

It looks like I need to get a CPU then. I want an Intel CPU. Have a good monitor, so no need for that. and I want a small case, no lights and sirens etc, just a box to put all the innards in. I will look at parts picker. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/23C4ZJ Haven't figured out how to get the...
