I'm looking to build a backup system with up to 4 drives. I need some advice on enclosures, I'd like it to have a fan, the drives definitly need to be SATA 2 and hopefully have an e-SATA connector and if possible even hot swappable drives but hot swappable isn't neccessary. I'd also like to see...

Ok, this was my original post as my first suggestion I'm coming here to help clear things up and get this going. Thanks much to Danny Bui. Hey all, Been a while since I posted anything on any of these boards, if my sig line still holds up you should see how old my system is. Now I'm coming...

Hey all, Been a while since I posted anything on any of these boards, if my sig line still holds up you should see how old my system is. Now I'm coming into a big deal of funds and want to built a super machine that will hold me for some tim. I'm posting here because I think the right mobo is...

Ok, I'm going to build a system in a year, totally high end, top line SLI and top extreme CPU. I thought I'd come here and learn a little before I get to the building but right now I'm more confused than I ever was before I came here. I'm collecting parts each payday until I have enough to put...

I just updated my system to 2G of Hyper-X ram and while looking for improvement in performance I was wondering if running my sound from the AC97 chip on the M/B would tax the system any more than plugging in my old plain Audigy sound board. So what 'cha think, does the sound board take any...

Maybe I deserved this because I was cheating Symantec a little but it was also thier fault for not catching it sooner. That's not important now, what happened was I signed on this morning and my anti-virus wouldn't start up and when prompted to do a verification I got a web page that said my...

Ok, our 3rd Epson Stylus printer died after 2 years, they've all died after 2 years and it's always the same thing, we replace an ink cartridge (Epson) and then the whole thing quits. So today I got a great deal on Amazon for a Canon Pixma iP6000D, only cost $112- with shipping. After...

Ok, I think this happened becuase I just put in a new mobo and processor. I re-installed WinXP and all my apps including Folding. Then Folding gets done with it's current job and I sign on the internet to get it to download it's results and update with a new project. What happens is, the...

I just got a barebones system and was assured it would come with a very good power supply. Before anyone tells me to go to the calculator, I've tried that route, I'm 45 and have narcolepsy so it's tough for me to understand things. What I do know is that I got a Scorpio (686?) black case and...

Ok, my neighbor (Tim) used be a tech at a computer store. I'm looking to upgrade my current system because it's old (except the vid card) and I need better hardware to run Oblivion. First of all I've been an AMD guy for quite a while now and have not studied much about intel processors. My...

Does anyone know about oc'ing this processor (see sig) with this mobo V1.6? When I increase the multiplier the system boots up saying it's at 833mhz. Does that mean the cpu is locked? Is there a fairly easy way to unlock it if it is locked? I've been told that changing the fsb to 200mhz could...

Ok, I installed an XP 2800+ in my rig today, replacing the 2500+ that was in there. They are both Barton core but when I run 3D marks and even Sandra they all say that the new proc is running slower. To answer the obvious, I have it running at 166Mhz and 12.5X. I've run a few CPU id programs and...

I think I posted this in the wrong forum first. Ok, my neighbor used to work as a tech at a local computer shop, my current sys is in my sig. He is telling me that to get the best game play for my buck I should get an MSI mobo and an intel dual core processor. What I need to know is which of...

Ok, my neighbor used to work as a tech at a local computer shop, my current sys is in my sig. He is telling me that to get the best game play for my buck I should get an MSI mobo and an intel dual core processor. What I need to know is which of these will be best together without breaking my...

I have an AMD XP 2500+, I've been running it at stock speed for 3 or 4 years now and never had a problem. The thing is this mobo can take an XP 2800+, I've determined that each notch of the multiplier takes it up a 100+, so right now it's at 11x and that makes it a 2500+. If I move it to 12.5 it...

I ran 3dmark 05 and 06 and got some strange results, first my 3dmark06 resut was 2817 and the 3dmark05 result was 5516. I don't know if those are good or not for my system as the results at the website don't seem to cover an old system like mine. The strange thing is on 05 it reports my vid...

Like it says I'm looking to buy an XP 2800+ with barton core that of course should fit a socket A, Asus A7n8x mobo. Looking for one that hasn't been overclocked and is in good conditon. PM me if possible so I can see when I get a response.

Yesterday I went out and got our first LCD display at Best Buy, its an LG L1932TQ, it had two pixels stuck one red and one blue so I took it back and exchanged it this morning. Now, this one seems to work fine but the adjustments on the panel are a real pain to get right so I did most of the...

I got an LG1932TQ today, it has a 4ms response time and is extremely bright and has an ultra clear 160 degree viewing angle. Trouble is, it has two burned in pixels, one blue and one red and they're in very noticible spots. So I'm taking it back tomorrow to exchange it. Is LG a good brand...

I had a system analysis program on my system until I accidently deleted during some hard drive cleanup, now I wish I had it back it was called simply "Anark" and it showed up in the control panel, not in the Programs menu. Has anyone ever heard of this & know where I could get my mitts on it...

How about an XP 2500+ or similar? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before I even think of going out and buying this game, I need to know if anyone has played it on something equal to an Athlon XP 2500+ or less. Looking through most of these...

I just got a BFG 7800 GS OC (AGP) new in box from e-Bay last friday. I installed it no problem, other than having to move my hard drives around in thier cage. It ran beautifully all day friday and part of saturday, this is a major upgrade from the previous card a PNY 64Mb GeForce 4200. Then...
