Edit: It's sold. I'm looking to sell an ASUS G46VW I got in February in order to fund moving back into a desktop. It's in lightly used condition other than the charger, which is frayed, but still works. This would be a fantastic laptop for MMOs, MOBAs, or console ports on the go at moderate...

http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,1970071,00.asp?kc=ETRSS02129TX1K0000532 They're going to start out offering an XPS barebones for 1120$ that includes the case, a Pentium D 930, 512MB of memory, a PSU, and a mobo. Also worthy of note: the intention to switch to standard components...

I enjoy downloading things through torrents, but I have a problem with fairly consistent disconnects while torrenting. Most of the time, the network manages to reconnect quickly enough to where I can continue browsing, but occasionally it totally disconnects. A search here yielded some info that...

A friend of mine wants to get into World of Warcraft, but his comp pretty much sucks. He's saving up for a new one, and I'd like to tell him that he can get one for pretty cheap. Anything capable of running WoW would be a major upgrade for him. Any advice? Just for quick reference...

Extremely addictive. http://chir.ag/stuff/sand/

I just installed a 6800GS yesterday, ran NFS: MW great, popped 4800 3dMarks in 05. Run MW today, it's slow as heck, so I run 3dMark again. 1700. What the heck could happen to my card in such a short period of time to make it so slow?

I'm transferring my parts to a new case tomorrow, and I noticed that I can't unplug the 24 pin mainboard connector. A MOSFET is right next to it, and appears to be blocking the clip for the connector. Any ideas on how to get it out?

He's going to be doing 3ds, PS, etc. work, and catching up on all the games he missed running a mid-range P4 rig for a few too many years. Here's what I came up with. Coolermaster Centurion 5: 44.99$ FSP550-60PLN PSU: 93$ AMD Athlon X2 4200+: 400$ ASUS A8N-SLi Premium: 163$ 4x1GB of...

Drop your name in here. I'm GForce64, and I'm usually running a game at the sprint track Clubhouse and Hollis if I'm on. If you see me, drop in and say hi.

I'm getting tired of the Skyhawk that I bought with my current rig, as it feels cheap. The panels are hard to get on/off, the mobo tray is flimsy, and it's loud as hell. So, keeping that in mind, I'd like a case with these features. Must haves: 120MM fans Fairly quiet Lack of bling...

I've got a buddy of mine that wants to build a computer for himself, and wants me to help him do it. He pretty much has 3 parameters 1. Have over 400GB storage space (and yes, he will use it. He's one of those guys that can blow through 20GB storing anime in a week.) 2. Be able to at least...

Going to be grabbing two 19 inchers for Christmas, but I really don't know what's the best/worst/whatever right now. I have been doing some looking around, though. I'd like to keep total price under 700 dollars. I'll mostly be doing gaming and some image editing/design work with this set-up.

This time, with a new contender! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811171069

I recently recieved an NEC 3520A DVD burner to install into my computer. I replaced a Sony CD-RW with it, which was set to slave. I did likewise with the NEC. The drive sees discs fine, but when I insert media into it, Windows sees it as a CD drive. I can't burn DVD's, obviously. What is...

Just saw this case over at Newegg, wondered if anyone knew anything about it. Link

I just came across 2 boards that look almost the same on Newegg: The ABit AN8 and KN8. I'd like to know what exactly is the difference between the two boards. ABit nForce 4/Ultra boards

Going to be doing this in a month or so if all goes well, figured I'd run my parts list by the [H]ardest of us. I do some PS/InDesign work for my school's yearbook staff, and some light gaming. Other than that, net surfing machine. Don't plan on OC'ing, and noise isn't a major issue...

I copy/pasted this from GameFAQs. I'm no networking expert, but it makes sense. Spread the word, people need to get rid of this game, quickly. I was wondering why I had this problem. I had a buddy of mine check it out. He has a little over a decade of internet security experience and 30...

Guess Eidos wants to repent from the last few crappy Tomb Raider games. Helps she actually looks like someone who could raid tombs now. http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/04/05/news_6121700.html
