    Brown stuff on 7800GT

    I just pulled my video card to help troubleshoot someone else's computer and I discovered that theres this brown stuff on my card does not look like it should be there.

    New build not POSTing

    Just assembled a new build today, but I tried to start it up and it is not POSTing and we're not getting video. The case lights and fans all turn on. There is a potential for it being damaged statically because some idiot friends of mine could not keep their hands off the hardware. Any...

    22" Westy at Target - good/bad?

    Target is going to have the Westinghouse 22w3 on sale at Target for $167. I have the 22w2 I picked up at BB last year and I'm debating whether I should pick up another. I absolutely love my 22w2 but I'm not sure if that's still a great deal like it was last year.

    This is how you can get just a few more seconds of gameplay after the final cutscene. 1.) Install the map editor located in /Sandbox2 Installer/ 2.) Run editor.exe in /Bin32/ 3.) Open the demo map they give you (island.cry) into the map editor. 4.) Navigate to the area where the cutscene...

    Disappointing RMA :(

    Ok so I RMA'd some CMX1024-3200C2 RAM @ 2-3-3-6 and they sent me back some CMX1024-3200PT @ 3-3-3-8 Thats a rather large jump in CAS latency. I'm pretty disappointed... Probably not much I can do though since its DDR1, I'm guessing its out of production. :( EDIT: everything's good. :D

    http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/04/09ipod.html Quite the milestone, I must say. Hopefully having this kind of marketshare will get the rest of the labels to follow EMI and Steve Jobs.:D

    A64 4600 for server?

    I plan on running a full time CS:S server and playing at the same time on the same box. I currently do this with a 3700 single core but I'm looking to go dual core to improve performance. I was wondering how much performance gain I would get if I switch from my 3700+ o/c'd to 2.72 ghz to this...

    Logitech X-230 - blown?

    I bought the Logitech X-230 speakers a few weeks before Thanksgiving and they have absolutely great until recently. I think I may have blown the tweeters on them. I have been listening to some music that would be more at risk for blowing speakers (Rammstein :D ) but I would think that they...

    Linux on PS3?

    I just read the IBM Begins Selling Cell Blades article and it got me thinking...would it be possible to run Linux on a PS3? Since the servers IBM will be selling come with FC5, I was wondering if FC5 could run on a PS3 since they're similar processors.
