Looking for a micro ATX H97 or Z97 motherboard. I'm not super picky about the brand, just trying to throw something together from my old XPS parts. Thanks!

I'm trying to get an older Seagate ST380021A 80GB running to recover some data without dropping hundreds of dollars for someone else to do it. About the only things I haven't tried is replacing the PCB logic board, manually moving the platter, and the freezer trick. Originally, the hard drive...

My computer is starting to slow a little bit (mainly during boot and shutdown) so I'm thinking it's about time to reinstall XP. The only time I've ever reinstalled XP before was when I had just one hard drive. In my current setup I have three. My C: contains Windows and a few apps while my two...

I just upgraded my PC and laptop, so I'm trying to get rid of the leftover's as well as some other random things lying around. Help support my "I Need a New Camera" fund! If you have any questions or counter-offers feel free to post or PM. I generally ship First Class/Priority with DC and...

I'm currently just using fans to cool my setup (see sig) and am thinking about upgrading to water cooling but I know nothing about it. Does anyone know of any kits that are good for a noob, but that also work well? I've heard some good things about the GIGABYTE GH-WIU02 3D Galaxy II...

I've been searching forever and no matter where I look, I can't seem to find one. I'm pretty sure this is the card I need: http://www.sapphiretech.com/us/products/products_overview.php?gpid=138&grp=3 This is the card I have (256 ver.)...

Each time I remove the old drivers on my X1900XT to update them to the latest release, the ATI uninstaller prompts me to uninstall EVERYTHING ATI related, including Tray Tools. Do I need to uninstall/reinstall tray tools every time I update my drivers? I've always just left it there and have...

I'm looking for an X-Fi card. Preferably an XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro (192 khz) and no less than an Xtreme Music. The cheaper, the better.

I'm looking to buy or trade for a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-350 (http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_pvr350.html) or equivalent TV Tuner that is compatible with XP Pro. You can find a list of things for trade here: http://gametz.com/user/Dimidium_Animae_Meae.html

I just ripped one of my DVD's using DVDFab Decrypter and now want to convert the main movie into .avi DivX. How do I go about doing that? All I've ever done before is convert WMA to AVI :-( I looked on Doom9 but didn't really see anything (at least nothing that I could understand). Thanks in...

I think I've decided to watercool my system (see sig for specs) and am looking at getting the following kit: http://www.dangerden.com/store/product.php?productid=7&cat=2&page=1 Really the only reason I'm wanting to watercool is to keep the temperature of the heat the PC gives off as low as...

I'm currently using a very basic Ultra-V 600w PSU. It's worked very well and I've been please with it with one glaring exception: IT'S SO LOUD! Does anyone recommend any PSU's that are quiet but reasonably priced? Ideally I'd like a PCPC Silencer 610, but something cheaper would definitely be...

On my rig I've currently got 2gb of RAM installed. I installed another GB of RAM I had lying around and for the first week or two it worked like a charm. However at the end of last week the PC would crash and reboot itself randomly, usually when using a program like Adaware (or something else...

I don't know much about all of the differences between 32-bit and 64-bit OS's, but one question I have is can a 64-bit OS run 32-bit apps (games in particular)? Sorry if it seems like a stupid question.

I'm making this post on behalf of my computer-illiterate friend. She said her PC was running slow so I decided to give it a go and she wasn't kidding. It originally took Windows nearly 5 minutes to boot (cut that time in half with Bootvis). I ran Disk Cleanup, Scandisc, Adaware-SE, Spybot and...

I'm trying to clean out my GC collection (180+ games) as well as a bunch of other stuff. This is mainly a sale-only thread, but I'm definitely open to trades for just about anything. Here's some things that I'm looking for: 600w (or more) Modular Power Supply X1900XT 512MB Short SATA Cables...

I just finished my first build. Originally I only had a single HDD in at (120gb Samsung) but I just now installed a second drive (500gb Maxtor). This is my first time using a system with multiple HDD's, so I had a question. First, when installing games, software, etc. do I have to install it to...

I've got some extra cash lying around and I'm trying to decide what to do with it. I'm leaning towards buying a 2gb kit of Buffalo Firesticks (6400) which would bring the total RAM on my system to 3gb. My question is, how much RAM can Windows XP Pro handle (NOT 64 bit). I thought there was a...

This is my first build so maybe I'm just doing something wrong. I've got everything hooked up and can fire the PC up, but if I change pretty much anything in the BIOS, it won't let me access the BIOS again unless I reset the CMOS. Instead it skips the option for me being able to enter setup or...

I'm looking for an OEM of XP Pro FULL and am trying to avoid paying $140-ish for it from newegg. Anyone have one or know where I can get one cheap?

I feel stupid even asking these questions :-( The graphics card I have (X1900XT) has an S-Video out and I've never bothered with Video Out before and was wondering does Video Out let you use a TV as a monitor? Also, how would the quality be? The reason I ask is because I need to keep as much...

I'm looking for the Plextor PlexWriter Premium PX-Premium/SW-BL (http://www.plextor.com/english/products/Premium.html). I've searched high and low for this drive and all I could find was one on eBay, but I'm not paying the idiot $350 for an $80 drive. Does anyone know where I can find it? I...

I'm in the middle of gathering parts to build a PC and I can't decide on which motherboard to buy. I've looked at the ASUS P5W DH Deluxe but I really don't want to spend that much. Here's what I'm looking for: Core 2 Duo Support Crossfire (with 2 TRUE PCI Express 16x slots; not the divided...

I'm looking for a video card that's no more than $100, but I need one that can be run on a 220w Dell PSU. As far as brand goes, I really don't care. I'm more partial to ATI and would like to get atleast a first party ATI Radeon 9800XT 256mb AGP. I'm also looking for some RDRAM and am looking for...
