So the nic is the little sort of boxy type thing that goes from the modem into the computer? If so I guess I do have one. Then I just am supposed to use that for the router and use the rj45 cords for the computers?
I don't really know if I have one, since when they originally installed it, they just put the one modem into one computer. And I would greatly appreciate a link to one. :)
One thing I didn't understand, was at first I thought I was exchanging the modem for the router. But the truth is I am guessing that the modem stays and then that one cord goes into the router, then I attach the cords from the router to the 2 computers to get them both up to internet. Is that right?
I think I was just being stupid. So, I am keeping the modem plugged in to the cable and then just taking the cord that goes from the modem to my comp currently and then plugging that into the router? Then using 2 cords to go to 2 different computers.
Only thing is, I just don't know what is going to be used for the cable. I look at the back of my current modem and it looks like one of those cables big round ones where you plug it into the back of your vcr. When I look at the back of the routers, it doesn't look like it has the right port to plug it in.
Any suggestions on good d-link routers? I was mainly looking at buying it off newegg.com. Might also go for a good logitech keyboard/mouse off them too for the same order.
I got the Thermaltake Armor VA8000SWA Silver Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail case.
I was reading through the manual and it says all about inserting drives, using the toolless plastic clip things inorder to secure them and all that. I was wondering, should I just forget about the toolless stuff altogether and make sure it's all secure by screwing all the drives in and what not?
Basically, I don't know if I should trust the toolless install stuff. Especially since this is my first time putting together a computer.
Also, from the looks of it it only comes with one of the rj cords with most routers. So that means I need to go buy another seperate rj (not sure about the numbers) cord inorder to hook up both computers right?
I just worry about how bad it might be on the eyes. I can see the headlines 10 years from now "gamers using 3d goggles go blind or suffer repeat headaches from them".
Well, it kind of makes sense that nvidia would have more top card days. They seem to produce them out faster, so their top of the line cards are out before they have competition.
