Greetings all, I’m in the middle picking out some parts for a new build for a friend and could use a bit of advice…(otherwise why would I be posting here.) Price Point: no more than $180; building this on not a tiny but not a huge budget for a full build. Primary use: gaming End...

Dropped by my local BB, (Rochester NY,) saw this on the shelf priced at $149 on clearance, (orig $299... yea...right....) took it up to the register and it rang up at $124... not bad for a spare. As always with BB YMMV greatly; my store had about 3 left give or take. Edit** Part#...

Greetings all, I've been digging through the forum/web and I can't come up with a decent answer so I come here to ask the experts... I'm running a Corsair HX620 with the hardware in sig; I've recently had to put an AC unit in the office and when it kicks on I get brownouts; my old UPS used...

Dunkin Dounuts Some stores might not be participating.

Newegg Havent seen much on this, also not real sure the difference between Akimbo and dual slot cooling but $155 AR doesn't seem half bad ta me. All specs line up with the standard clocked 8800GT

Greetings all, I've gotten some info from a few people but I wanted to check with the masses to see if anyone has an 8800GT dual slot as apposed to an 8800GT Akimbo? 8800GT Dual Slot .vs 8800GT Akimbo[ for comparason. Both base cards are the same clocks, memory etc... the only difference...

Greetings all, I’m running into some issues with RDC/TS from Vista to Server2k/2k3. Here’s the skinny: My wife works form home a couple of days a week and up until yesterday she’s been running on an older box running XP. In order for her to connect to the office she has to use RDC to...

Newegg has it Didn't see this posted so I figured I'd toss it up, not as good as I've seen it but still a fair price for a good case.

Am I loosing it, (loaded question I know); I'm working on my first water set-up, (read budget,) and I'm finding that the iConnect fittings that come standard with TT products don't exactly seem to be 1/4 ID /3/8 OD... am I just loosen my nut or what? I've tried going to the hardware store and...

Greetings all, I'm in the process of building my first WC setup and I'm trying to make it out of as much stuff as possible from your typical hardware store. One of my first idea's is that I want to build in a dranage system by using a T or Y splitter and an on/off valve. The ones that...

Greeting fellow seekers of knowledge, I’m sure this has been asked before but the search is turning up nadda; has anyone tried/been able to successfully use a digital photo frame as a PC mod? I’m just trying to see if it’s feasible to try and re-wire a frame I’ve got laying around and...

Greetings all, I've got some GC's to spend at the egg and I'm considering increasing my ram to 8GB, (I'm currently running the G-skill 1000Mhz modules.) Big question them becomes... is it worth it; would I see a difference in anything beyond media encoding or would it be a waste? Thanks...

Greetings all, Looken for a bit of advice; currently I’ve got a 15 to 17 station LAN, (plus a few extra servers ports,) running off from 3 different 8 port 10/100 switches. The way I’ve got it configured its running from the router to switch 1, switch 1 then feeds both switch 2 and 3 and the...

Title says it all, I’m looking for software to take in game screenshots; I know Fraps does it but I don’t feel like paying for fraps and don’t want to use .bmp format. I know there was a thread recently, (last few weeks,) but I’ve had a hell of a time finding it. Any help/direction is...

Anyone figure out how to load these up yet, (or are the not active for the beta)? I've tried importing them through the menu options but it sits there and 'thinks' about it, never goes anywhere, (ends in a soft lock).

This is my first OC in quite some time, (since the days of the slot A Athlon chips.) I’m currently burning in my e6600 at 3014MHz, (I’ve run it in increments of roughly 40 MHz per increase,) I then run Orthos and Prime together for about 20 min to get the base results before...

Has anyone run the demo against both OS’s? I gave it a whirl last night and found that though the performance was within acceptable limits of each other, (roughly 1% to 5%) better performance on Xp. The problem I was having was the visual differences; running both instances at the same...

Has anyone seen any user created multiplayer maps yet for Stalker? It's a hell of a lot of fun to play at lan events, the only drawback is that some maps are so damned big if you have less than 16 people you are chasing your tail most of the time, (or picking the sinper round outta your teeth.)

I picked up a kit the other day, (ThermalTake,) yea I know it’s not the highest quality but I wanted an ‘all in one’ solution that was compatible with a socket A board and it was relatively inexpensive so it fits nicely into my test bed. Big question is, does it matter where the radiator is...

Greetings all, I've been tempted for a while to move towards a water cooling set up with my current system, one to allow a better performance overhead and two to keep the noise to a minimum. My system gets moved fairly frequently, (say at least twice a month,) for LAN parties etc… I wanted...

Greetings all, I’ve read mixed thoughts on the topic so I wanted to check in with the folks here at the board to see what the general consensus was here. I’ve got the Hiper 580W PS which uses the 4-pin 12V rail; the MB I’m using is the eVGA 680i which uses the 8-pin 12v rail. I’ve read on...

At least luke warm based on the current cost of these critters. eVGA Also saw XFX tossed the big brother, (8800GTX), out there at a decent price; ($559) AR XFX
