So it has been pretty much deemed that my motherboard is dead or at least that I have a problem with it. If this is the case, does anyone know if it is possible to retrieve files from my computer if I don't want to replace the motherboard? Thanks

Are there any cases with dust filters that work well, im tired of the nasty crud that builds up in my case. my cooling needs are very modest, i just want a case that years from now will have almost no dust inside (or no dust at all!).

Installed ECS Elitegroup Mobo with VIA PT800CE-A chipset and 3.0 ghz P4 CPU. Sometimes , but not always, on startup I have to access the BIOS and manually search for the HDD. This can occur on cold starts and on restarts. Any clue as to why this happens?

I've got a question that just popped up in my head... If my system would need a 450 watt power supply and I would use a 400 or 350 watt instead, what would happen? Would the system shutdown? Could it be harmful to a system?
