My 3 year old laptop has finally bit the dust and I need help finding a new one for college. I need a laptop to lug around campus and take notes in class, so a 13 or 14 inch laptop is the biggest that I can get. I'm going to use it to take notes, write papers, watch/listen to music and some...

Corsair HX620<---- I got a deal for buying two at once:D I think I remember something about the HD3xxx series running a little hot on idle? the GSO seems kind of tempting but I'm out of cash so it would unfortunately go on my almost maxed credit card (cars are way too expensive to repair...

My x800 has been causing my computer to crash for a while and now that the fan on it is dying on my secondary 939 comp ; I need a pcie based replacement. I'm willing to go up to $40 but lower is better, I was thinking of the x1650pro on newegg? I've been out of the hardware loop for awhile and...

Whats a better mobo than the p5q? haha, I use photoshop once in awhile but its only to touch up photos for me and my friends/family so I don't think that a quad would really be necessary. Later on , I will probably experiment with a light OC just for kicks, do you guys know of a good CPU...
