a few quick Q's, how can i see what my spu or mother board temps are is there a program? also ive looked at a few of the incase 3.5 bay LCD screen setups and the instructions on teh rear of the box says hook the 2 wires one from each LCD screen to a thermal box? is this on my board already or do i need to find a thermal box to hook these LCDs into? also for you clockers how far have you pushed you PIII 500mhz to?
also just finshed my new case and for all you case mod guys how can i keep the inside of my window from getting so funky like dusty or staticky?
Thanks

For checking temps try MBM5 (http://mbm.livewiredev.com/).

A while ago I O/Ced a 500mhz P3 to 600mhz. HERE (http://www.pcguide.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=18976) is the thread. Lots of good info for the first timer.

Have fun...;)

Drive bay temperature monitors usually have actual thermal sensor leads that you have to stick to heat sinks, or wherever you chose, while a software prog will detect the outputs from onboard monitors (if present). Most modern motherboards have some sort of temperature monitor, and CPUs will also have a thermal diode that a software program can display the output of.

Crack the ol' case open and scour the board for any model numbers the like. Also you may want to try dell's support website (http://support.dell.com/). Enter your system info and then check for replacement parts. Your mobo should be listed there.
