I'm looking for a good mid-tower case with a SATA backplane. I currently have a CM690 which is great, but I really hate having to screw around with opening the right side panel and messing with cables any time I need to plug or unplug a hard drive. Is anyone making these yet? It seems like...

I'm looking for a solid quality PSU somewhere in the 300-400 range. Any suggestions? Optimal price level would be something like under $35.

Couldn't decide whether to put this in here or marketplace, but seems like the HD forums are probably more relevant to the issue at hand. I've seen a lot of [H]ers with 7200.11 problems. These drives have known issues that cause problems ranging from randomly disappearing sometimes to not...

So I've been experimenting with my new gigabyte P35C-DS3R and it's the easiest C2D overclocker I've gotten my hands on yet. My first step was to 333 front side bus, and I expected to get that with no voltage increase with no problem. Next I tried 400 fsb, not really expecting it to work, but...

I've had my PC2-8000 Ballistix for just over a month now, and I come home last Thursday to find that trying to play counterstrike, watch videos, or generally do anything more taxing than browse the internets makes all kinds of crazy crap happen. After troubleshooting it turns out to be my ram...

So I just installed a new Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme and bumped my e6300 to the relatively weak-sauce overclock of 2333 mHz (333 FSB) only to find that while the temperature looks great in the BIOS (~30C) Core Temp reports 40-44C at idle, which sounds totally wrong. I guess, then, that I...

So my next-door neighbor is going to be out of town for a few weeks and said that I was welcome to help myself to his bandwidth while he's gone. How can I set things up so that all of my regular traffic goes over my wired connection, but uTorrent (for example) runs over his wireless that I can...

So I got my new kit of 2 1gb DDR2-1000 Ballistix in and I'm trying to get them stable. So far the best setting I have found is 4-4-4-12-20-2T @ 882... is stable in windows but orthos dies within minutes. I have tried experimenting with different voltages in BIOS (on my MSI P6N SLI-FI) but so...

So I got a nice big new hard drive for storing stuff and after about a week it started making horrible clicking/sproinging sounds... I assume the read head parking/resetting. I unplugged it immediately and ordered a replacement which came in today. I hooked everything up to transfer and found...

Finally... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813127022 starting off at 136.99. I want to know how this one does. I had my eye on it for a long time.

I work at a computer shop and we do a lot of PSU replacements (especially for people with emachines). I think a Seasonic or comparable would be pretty much overkill for these customers. What would be a not-horribly-sucky sub-$30 you would recommend? Currently the shop owner is getting...

So I've got this nice new HR-05 waiting to go on my northbridge... but the included plastic pin with spring mounts just seem waaaaay too flimsy. I can easily wobble the heatsink around on the NB with these pins applied, and I'm wanting to put a fan on it. What can I do for a better mounting...

I'm overclocking my new MSI P6N SLI-FI, am currently at 400fsb. I'm noticing that in CPU-Z the vCore readout is fluctuating violently between 1.280v and 1.440v. Does this mean CPU-Z is lying? Or that something bad is happening?

I posted a thread about a week ago detailing my problems with my new P5N-E SLI motherboard and my 7600GS videocards. Essentially, while the board would post with a Gigabyte 7300GT and an ATI X600, it would not post with either of my two 3DFuzion 7600GS cards, which work flawlessly in my older...

I like the look of the new corsair PSU... Corsair is a name I trust. Would it be enough juice to power two 8800GTXs along with all of the other usual stuff (evga 680i, E6700, etc)? If not, what would you recommend? Only requirements are black case and modular cabling. Extra points for...

So after my recent tinkering with motherboards I have come to the conclusion that my Thermaltake Matrix case, while sturdy enough and attractive looking, sucks. There's not enough room for everything, the toolless installation of PCI cards and drives is pretty lame, it has damn annoying little...

I've been running an e6300 in an Asus p5nsli for some time now, and jumped at the chance to massively boost my o/c with the new p5n-e. Only problem is, the damn thing won't post. Got it from clubit (never had any problems with them before) and when I turn it on everything powers up but it just...

My friend put together a system with a D 930 proc and some goofy heatsink that idled at 80 degrees... I got him an arctic cooling freezer pro and took everything out of the case to make sure he had put things together properly. Everything looked fine and I installed the new HSF only to find him...

So I've been tweaking around on my new rig, and I've noticed something strange with the vCore... When I set it to auto in the bios, it typically sits at around 1.38v. I then manually set it to 1.325v and its now sitting at 1.264v. Shouldn't auto have it at 1.325v? Is my monitoring...

I'm fairly new to the world of RAM settings, but I've just recently put together a new computer and am having a strange issue. It's built on an E6300 with 2x1gb Patriot DDR2-667 in dual channel and the Asus P5NSLI motherboard, which has given me some RAM issues already (didn't work with...
