Just like the title says, I have a samsung f3 that spins up if I just plug in the power connecter, but if I plug in the SATA data and the power cables, then I get nothing and it remains un recognized in the bios. I was building a new rig for my father out of parts half left over from his...

Hi all. I was playing Wings of Fury, WWII arcadish flight game, with a 360 controller when my shiny new 5850 went out. While waiting on my RMA it has occurred to me that the game might be more fun with a joystick. I'd like to not pay a lot, so preferably less than 50 bones, but if there is...

I picked up a xfx 5850 with a 650watt PSU off of newegg last week for a pretty good deal. I got them installed wednesday night, and have been doing a little bit of gaming. While playing Wings of Prey last night, I had some artifacting, which I played through, but when returning to the desktop...

I want to upgrade the 550BE that failed to unlock in my asrock 785g board. I've been running it for over a year, and it OCs quite well, but I want more cores. I have a Microcenter semi locally and am thinking about taking them up on their bundled amd board with processor. That way I could...

Anybody here using the skype application for their Symbian phone? Does it work well over a wireless network connection? Ive never used skype and don't know if the quality is good at all. Since this skype on symbian is relatively new, I have extra reservations about reliability and sound...

My father's p4 rig needs a new PS. I saw this sparkle PS on sale that is apparently made by Fortron. The lack of PCIe power isn't really an issue. So can anybody tell me if this a is a good unit for my purposes? I'm no PSU expert, I just want my old man's PC to not explode...

I sent payment for a laptop, and haven't heard from the guy since a PM on 5/2 saying got the MO and would be shipping the laptop "ASAP hopefully no later than monday" Which would be the 4th... He hasn't logged on since 5/5, and besides his addy I have no contact info. How long should I...

Since I know about computers, and my father, his wife, and her kids do not, I'm the default repair man when they break things. I'm sure many here can sympathize. They bought a Walmart Dell Inspiron 531 desktop some time ago, and in short order have rendered it FUBARed. Not only that, but...

Exactly what the Title says. I'm looking for an AXP Barton core with the 333 fsb. Ideally I'm looking for a 2500 that is known to function at 400 fsb. I need to squeeze a little more life outta this Nforce2 system.

Looking for a DFI Lanparty NF2 Ultra RevB. Don't need any peripherals, just a board. Well, the manual would be nice, but not necessary.

I'm attempting to run a pair of voodoo2's in SLI through a voodoo3 2000 PCI in Windows XP. I've installed several different 3rd party driver sets, and have gotten them recognized by windows device manager, there being a tab in the advanced display properties for them, and games trying to use...

Well, spring is here and I'm going broke, so some of my bounty is going up for sale. I'm just a poor college student with no money, a broken car, and a pricey drug and alcohol habit to maintain, so please buy my goods. All prices do not include shipping unless otherwise noted. Even though non...

I just picked up a pair of voodoo2's to run in SLI and, as they are 3d accelerators only, I need a 2d card to go with em. I'm preferably looking for something cheap, and ideally it would be a 2d only card. I'm looking for somewhat of a period piece that would have actually be run at the time...

I'm thinking about picking up this via aqua 3600 off of ebay... anybody got a compelling reason why I shouldn't want a pump that pushes 1057 ghp and can operate under 10ft of head. My via aqua 1300 is leaking and I can't seem to seal it up, so I'm either going to get a hydor l30 or this...

I've got a via aqua 1300 pump that is leaking water. Not a lot, but enough to leave a little puddle in the bottom of my case. Thankfully the water didn't get anything else, as my pump is at the bottom, and the water had no squirting force to get any of my components wet. The water seems to be...

I've already got a 77 Bonneville Heatercore running 2 120mm fans through it, but I am planning on adding at least one, possibly 2 more single 120mm radiators to the loop. I called around and can't get a chevette heatercore for less than 25 bucks and all the parts stores need to order it...

BG Micro has 4 dollar M1a Panaflos. These aren't the extremely quiet panaflos. Nor are these the loudest pananflos. These are ~86CFm and 35 dB. Shipping is a not included, but i got 4 for less than 15 bucks shipped I think. http://bgmicro.com/lmad.asp

I'd like to run the soundstorm spdif on my motherboard to a Sony receiver that outputs in 5.1 channels. THe problem is that my powered sub stopped working and I've got no clue how to go about diagnosing it, or if after diagnosing it, there is anything I could do to fix it anyway... So I've got...

Is there an adapter kit available anywhere that would let me attach a cold plate and Peltier to my Swiftech 5000 waterblock? I've read references to something called the 5000-PT, but I can't find any pics of it. The only blocks I can find are ones that attach through the holes in the...

I'm looking to buy a beige desktop case, ATX formfactor. Preferably it should have intake and exhaust fans, or at least a place to put them, but I'm flexible. As always, cheap=good. I'm also looking for optical drives on the cheaper end of the spectrum. Maybe a CD burner, maybe a...

How long do you all suppose a 120mm case fan will run missing one of its blades?

Exactly as the thread says. I'm building a PC to give to my old man for chrsitmas. The idea is to build something that looks as much like the 386 we had when I was a kid. That was the last computer he was ever comfortable using, lol. Anyway, I'm looking for a square, beige desktop box that I...

I've got this BFGtech fx 5900 that displays artifacts under heavy 3d application. The thing is, upgrading the powersupply lessened the problem, and then clocking my CPU back helped even more. The thing is, I've got a 520watt PSU thats rated at 28watts 12volt and delivers fantastic performance...

I'm having trouble overclocking with what should be a highly overclockable combo. I've got a Lanparty NF2 Ultra B, Juihb 2100+ Tbred that has run 2332 stable on air on a KT400 board, and a gig (2x512mb) of Mushkin PC3500 Black Level 2 which it turns out is CH-5 chips, and the processor is...

After receiving a replacement for my DFI lanparty nf2 ultra rev b and reassembling my system, I haven't been able to suceessfully boot into windows. First, windows hung on the loading screen with the status bar continually cycling and sometimes stopping before rebooting itself. Attempting a...

I've got a copy of the evaluation version of WIndows XP 64bit. My question is, would the divX codec allow me to encode using the full 64bit power of an athlon64 under this 64bit evaluation XP. If so, would the performance gain be worth the change from XP pro? What about Xvid?
