   I have a few questions about my new Digital Storm Apollo.

I can't find any wifi networks, so I'm wondering, does the machine have built in wifi?  If not, what can I do about this?  I absolutely need wifi.

I've inserted a Blu-Ray movie, but I can't figure out how to play it.  I click the Blu-Ray drive and get an error, "E:\ Application not found."

Is there any way to make the computer run quieter when I'm just performing normal tasks?  This is my first real gaming rig and I didn't expect it to be so loud at all times.

	Hi Lerodemmy, Congratulations and welcome to DS. Nice system. I don't think that mb has internal wi-fi. You have to get an external one. Other more knowledgeable members will advise which is a better fit for your needs, range and who knows what. I also have bad news about Blu-Ray. You need software you can dl to be able to play Blu-Ray discs. There appear to be various ways to do it. I have read that Cyberlink PowerDVD works. It is not free.

	What hoserator said. You can get an external WIFI dongle that plugs into a USB port, or, get an internal WIFI card that plugs into the motherboard . Under the Bluray option in configurator, under more info, there is a note about software needed . Edited by bprat22 - 30 Apr 2016 at 3:54am
