    Quick question about sli/xfire and 3 monitors

    I would like to build a rig that will divide my desktop between 3 22" monitors using mid to high-end gfx cards. I just wanted to make sure I had everything right. I'm assuming I can do this with a board that has multiple pci-e x 16 slots using 2 8800 gt 512s. I don't want sli or xfire, I...

    Need new northbridge fan for KN8 Ultra

    Just as the title suggests, the northbridge fan on my in-law's pc is going out. The board is a KN8 Ultra, and it looks like the fan is attached with some plastic pins, and a 3 pin fan header. Having zero experience with northbridge fans and heatsinks, I was wondering what I could replace it...

    NZXT Khaos

    The only thing that bugs me about the design, is it seems to be backwards. In my opinion, if the points were to the back, not the front it would look much better.

    Project: Rogue (NZXT SFF)

    Yeah, in order to be considered a bedroom, it needs a window large enough to meet egress codes. You're right about the fully equipped fire fighter being able to get through, it's something like a 20sqft opening, with minimum dimensions on height and width. You can get away with not adding a...

    D-TEK FuZion v2 CPU Block

    if it's close to the price of the V2 I might pick one up IF they come up with a delrin model. I don't want anything in my loop to be clear, and from what I have seen, the V2 is more than capable of handling what I want to throw at it.

    Need suggestions on a motherboard for a budget box

    Ah ok no wonder I could find anything hehe. I don't really care about OBV because I'm upgrading an old system. She already has a 19" lcd and HDD, so those aren't the issue. I'm not trying to go cheap, I'm trying to keep the price down... Does that make sense? I hope so, it does in my...

    need all in wonder type card or solution

    bump. I remember reading something about the 2600xt and the 8600gts being able to render video better or some such thing. Could I get a link to something that would explain to me why, or what's in them that makes them render video better or whatever.

    need all in wonder type card or solution

    So ATI esentially took a fgx card and slapped a tv tuner card onto it? What would be the best combination of cards? I heard the HD2600xt and 8600 do well, any reason why I should pick one over the other?

    need all in wonder type card or solution

    Trying to locate an x1900 for sale isn't boding well. If I get a regular gfx card, and then a tv tuner card will that esentially get me the same hardware? I have a customer that wants the all in wonder, but it doesn't appear ATI makes them any more, so just trying to find a solution.

    silly question about esata

    I'm looking at a case that has esata, and just wanted to verify what type of connection the motherboard needed to have. Does it just use an open sata port? or does the motherboard need a special esata connector. Thanks
