    Looking for recommendations for a new mouse.

    [H]ello everyone. My mouse's left click is currently dying, and I'm ready for a new mouse. Ideally I'd like to spend no more than $100 USD. I don't have any one genre of games I play more than any other; my play time is pretty balanced between MMOs, FPS, and RTS-type games. As far as features...

    R.A.T. 7 is dying, may need to replace...

    My beloved RAT7 that I have owned and used thoroughly for the past ~2.5 years may be on its way out. The left click feels and sounds oh so weak, almost like a death rattle. As the days go by, the left click feels weaker and weaker, to the point where one day I feel it may go down, never to rise...

    HD 6970 CF or 660 Ti?

    So I have a friend that wants to buy from me my 2 HD 6970's that I just replaced to replace his 2 HD 6850's. I was thinking I'd just cut the price in half from what I bought them for, since on Ebay I see them going for around $200 still. This would bring it to ~325, but in thinking about it, I...

    Seagate ST4000DM000 won't initialize

    So I just bought a Seagate 4TB and threw it into my desktop. Upon booting, the computer hung up a little bit after POST, but eventually it booted up normally. It then told me the drivers installed correctly, and sure enough the hard drive shows up in my device manager, but when I go to Disk...

    DVI-D Source to DVI-I Monitor?

    So I'm considering seeing if I can get a GTX Titan or two. I run 3 Dell UH2311H's, which have Displayport and DVI inputs. However, the Titan has a DVI-I as well as a DVI-D output. Would the DVI-I still fit into the DVI-D output? Or should I just get a DVI-D to DVI-I cable?

    Preparing for an overseas deployment....

    I wasn't sure where to put this so I just put it in general since it concerns both hardware purchasing and advice on application usage. So sometime later this year I'll be headed overseas for a second rotation. One thing that is important to me for a deployment is having a good reliable...

    P8P67-M onboard audio not working

    I can't seem to get my onboard audio to work. The drivers are as up to date as I can get them, there's no other sound card, it's enabled in the bios. Whenever I plug speakers or headphones in it does nothing. In the play ack devices, all it shows is an HDMI audio output and that's it, nothing...

    Multi-tasking with Eyefinity?

    So how could I perhaps play a game at 1920x1080 on one monitor while using the other 2 monitors to do other things (ie Internet, video, etc)? Is there a way to do it without using windowed mode? For reference I'm using 3 Dell U2311H monitors with HD 6970s in crossfire

    Suggestions for drive setup?

    I'm about to build myself a new rig, but I'm a little confused on how to set up my drives. Idealy, I'd like a solid state for just my OS (and I suppose my anti-virus software but that's about it), as well as a drive for all my game installs and a storage drive or two. Problem is, I'm unsure as...

    Asus VW246H?

    Has anyone used this monitor? I need 3 monitors for an up and coming gaming build and I really can't seem to decide on one. There are so many options out there, and I find myself constantly coming back to look at this one, but there are also IPS panels to consider. On one hand, IPS panels are...

    IPS or 120Hz?

    So it seems a lot of manufacturers are switching over to IPS panels, since they're like, awesome and what not. But any thread I see on here about 120Hz monitors claim them to be the best thing in the entire world. Not in so many words but you get what I'm saying. Anyway, for wanting an...

    24" monitor's from newegg?

    So it seems to me that Newegg's stock of 24" monitors is a little lacking recently, particularly Asus monitors. I've been looking at the Asus 24" monitor (don't quite remember what it's called, it's the one with like 5k reviews), but I'm seeing now that it's no longer in stock (or on the website...

    850W or 1000W?

    So, in coming up with a build for my next system, I can't seem to decide between a good quality 850W or a 1000W PSU. I've read that dual HD 6970s would run perfectly well on a good 850W power supply. So my question is, when would a good 1000W be needed over 850W?
