    How do i use Ethernet?

    Change the channel the phone operates on. I take it you have DSL... double check the filters. Unplug one phone at a time, call your house and see if you eliminate the problem if so then that phone is at fault.

    Only recycling programs I have seen lately involve the purchase of a new PC and the company will allow you to send back an old PC or PC parts (Dell I believe)..

    neverending shutdown....

    I have the same problem and can't figure out what it is. Tried multiple installs of the OS (both XP Home and Pro, legitimate copies) with the same problem. I do have an HP printer but I uninstalled it and used the PC for a while with the same problem. Think it could be a hardware issue? Random....

    Safest Dust Removal....

    Compressed air is flammable to a point (if you hold a match or lighter directly to the air stream). Definetly isn't a problem for your case. Use it and make sure to blow dust out of all the fans and small compartments in the case as well.

    what is the best way for me to see ghosting in a monitor?

    I wouldn't call that ghosting at all with the conversions. Try another conversion program as "square shapes" should not be appearing in the picture at all.

    Eye Strain / Floaters

    Eye Strain / Floaters

    Real random question here but does anyone have eye "floaters" (small black spots in one or both eyes). I have a few and was wondering how many other people experience this and / or if computer use makes them worse or treatments people have had...

    Case Worries

    Definetly go with Xaser over Tsunami from Thermaltake. A friend of mine has Tsunami and its rather loud with a few cooling fans on. The Xaser looks more "professional" in my opinion which is what I look for in a comp case.

    Should I get a new job?

    My guess is it would be busy (which can be good, make the time pass). If you like manual labor as I am sure that is what it will be, unloading and what not I'd say go for it. At least interview and check it out.

    Case Worries

    The first Thermaltake case in your link is rather nice. Don't like the swinging side cooling fan holder personally. I suggested Antec because they are large cases (despite what the pictures suggest) and well constructed. Thermaltake is a very good company as well I am sure you will not be...
