    Simple black tower case for floor HTPC build.

    My HPTC works pretty well.. But I been thinking I want to switch to a tower case for USB 3.0 and to pack in more Hard Drives and give me easier access to the internals. Plus honestly this current motherboard I have seems flaky. It will be on a hardwood floor next to my rack instead of in it...

    Compact gaming keyboards..

    Don't know if it was mentioned somewhere on this site - but I have heard that a more compact keyboard could be superior for gaming. This makes alot of sense to me as the mouse can be closer to the keyboard - and I basically use just one hand for gaming (the right) and the left for the mouse...

    VK266h vs. Samsung ToC 26 whats better deal?

    Okay I was pretty set to get the fairly cheap VK266h but I started thinking about what would happen if I had like 5 stuck pixels - and the ASUS return policy doesn't seem very good. It works out to like hundred bucks more for the Samsung though. You can get a VK266h pretty cheap from ZipZoomfly...

    Overclocking = startup repair?

    Hello all, I built myself a new system earlier this month - Lancool K7 case, EP45-UD3R motherboard, Q9550, 4GB ram (two simms) 1066. HT Omega striker 7.1 sound card.. It seems to work fine - however I tried a very modest overclock 10mhz over the stock with VCore, VTT, PLL set to normal and...

    lancool k7 - anyone get one yet?

    This seems like a very cool case - as I dont care that much about weight but I want something that looks good (in a minimalistic way) and is fairly quiet. Does anyone own this yet? I want to put a quad in there Q6600 or the newer one when it comes out and so I need a hefty heat sink - like a...

    Lian-Li which is the best mid-tower.

    I am an Antec guy - as I have a Sonata and P160 but I want to try a pretty case for my next build. Problem is I can't find any I like that much... I dunno it seems really hard to beat the P180/182 except for the ugly looks. What is the consensus best Lian-Li mid-tower. I don't mind the...

    Hot Hard Drives.

    I have P160 with two WD hard drives a (250 and 80) I have a front fan connected to the "fan only" line on my Antec power supply. But it does blow some air.. My hard drives temperatures are 62C and 52 (according to speed fan). Isn't that crazy high? I mean the rest of my case doesn't seem that...

    BIOS problem/Overclocking MSI Neo2 and Winchester

    Hey I thought I would try my hand at overclocking. But its not going well. I have an MSI Neo2 K8N and winchester 3200+. I tried to start testing the CPU with a very conservative overclock. I slowed my memory down to 100 and dropped my LDT to 3. Then I set the HHT to 205. It worked fine...
