My wife and I want to buy our son a laptop for gaming at home and for homework. It doesn't need to be bleeding edge but decent performance would be nice so for these price points is there one or all we should avoid or choose over the others?
Thank you for any help you can provide. He's 11...
My video card finally died so the desktop is getting parted out. I tried to price fairly but offers are welcome. All pricing is OBO and include shipping to CONUS. PayPal or amazon payments. Not really looking for trades but will consider it for maybe an unlocked phone or if you happen to...

I’m getting rid of an HTPC that got hardly any use. I’ve tried to make all of the prices reasonable but offers are welcome. I prefer PayPal. I’m local to the Phoenix West Valley area and am happy to let you look, touch and feel if you want to have a look at anything...
Getting rid of some stuff, gaming is sort of going by the wayside. I'm trying to price this stuff fairly but if something's way out of line, offers and constructive criticism are welcome. Heat I prefer PayPal.

New set of glasses came back with an Asus VG278H monitor I had replaced under warranty. I never really used the original ones much so I don't really see a point keeping these. They come in a box but it is not sealed, I did verify that they work.

I offered this on the BL2 PC thread but didn't get any takers. I bought it by accident (instead of VH2 for my GOTY game) and don't need it. Only paid a couple of bucks so figured I'd just give it to someone.
Bought to play with a friend, after a few times I just lost any interest in gaming on Xbox (it's pretty much just a media device in the spare room). I am having trouble finding the original, green case for it if that matters to you.

Purchased from another [H]ardforum member 6 months ago and works perfectly. There are some scratches on the fan/heatsink housing pictured below. They resulted from the card being installed a couple of times into an...

I want to get a 27" 120hz monitor for surfing and games and wanted to get some feedback on the price. This screen is on amazon for $530 with a pair of 3D glasses. I don't care that much about the glasses but this screen seems to have come down a bit. I prefer matte and the vesa mountability...
Looking to buy 12gb 3x4 ram kit 1600mhz +
This will replace the Kinston kit in my sig and I will want to sell that once I do.
I know there are a couple sets FS here and have a couple of offers in but it's been a few days. It's not terribly expensive nowadays so if nobody is looking to...
I'd call this warm. MSI G Series GE70 0ND-033US + XBox 4gb $1,249. That seems to be the going rate for that level of laptop but the XBox is free and they both ship free.
My wife has been talking about getting a Wii or XBox and we were already shoppping for a laptop so now we'll have both.

If anything is broken, let me know and I’ll work it out.

I'm getting random shutdowns w/ no BSOD. I do not think it is software related but am not sure. The shutdowns can happen when playing a game, surfing the web or when loading windows after a reboot. My screens just go blank, audio will stutter if there is sound running but the PC will either...
I was considering picking up an inexpensive card for PhysX processing since I have a few games that offer it (Batman AA, Batman AC, Metro 2033, Mafia2). Which card specs have greater effects than others? Processor cores, core clock, memory bus, etc? I saw a GT 430 on sale at newegg but it's...

We're going to update our HT piece by piece and saw this deal on Newegg w/ a coupon code. It's lacking ethernet but I'm not sure how essential that is to a HT setup. I don't yet have a media player or Smart TV but probably will after doing a little research.
This will be a mid-range...
It's the system in the sig, I'm more interested in a stable CPU OC than messing around too much with the ram itself. I don't understand the ins and outs of ram all that well so help is appreciated.
I'll be moving the Kingston to a friend's PC who needs some and getting some of what the Egg...
I'm wondering if the motherboard is bad or what else I should do to try and get this PC up and running again. Here is a quick breakdown, I did not keep track of all of the specific error messages (didn't realize this would turn into such an adventure) but I can provide more details; I thought I...
This PC is for gaming and surfing/working and I would really like to get a 120hz monitor for the games. The two I'm interested in are the Alienware AW2310 and the Asus VG236He; the deciding factor, if there is a difference here at all, could be how detectable the 'screen door' effect is on...
This CPU is very slightly used. I bought it for a new build, installed it (w/ stock cooler) and the new HD died. While waiting for the new drive I ordered a i7 970 through the Intel Retail Edge program and no longer need it. I have all the original packaging.

Going to redo my last post because I didn't format it well:
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
I like to play current games, surf and do some spreadsheet work and a program called Trade Navigator that runs lots and lots of math formulas
2)...
I'm upgrading two PCs (basically taking the CPU, MB, ram and GPU for myself and swapping other bits to my non-gaming wife) and have not yet ordered the processor and motherboard. I would like to keep the price for the combo in the price range already mentioned but have not been keeping up with...

Is there a soundcard that will output 5.1 via optical? Usually the spdif optical output is stereo. My onboard sound is the same way and I'm looking for an upgrade.
I've been lurking here for a while, gathering info while building a new system and the monitor is proving to be the toughest part of the decision. I know I'm probably overthinking it, there are lots that would make me plenty happy but they so often get discontinued or 'deactivated' that it can...
