So I've been wondering about something, and haven't gotten a concrete answer. The other forum that I frequent apparently isn't [H] enough in regards to this type of thing, so I knew I'd have to ask here :D I have a 2010 MBP with a 512MB GT330 and was wondering how, if it's even possible, to...

I'm saving up $ for a MBP and have heard that a refresh is coming soon (march at the latest?), most likely to include new i5/i7 processors and possibly new GPUs. Anyone have any ideas about a date?

Sorry to bring this up yet again, but the issues still have not gone away. After every restart, counter strike source refuses to start and says the game is currently unavailable. Each time I have to delete both blob files and verify integrity of game files. Sometimes even this doesn't work...

I honestly don't know what sub-forum video editing questions would go, but here's my question nontheless. I recently got a new ipod and for the first time have enough space to put movies on it. All my movies are in 16:9 format, but as we all know, the iPod screen is 4:3. I can encode the video...

Just bought one of these to replace my old 30 gig 5th gen. I'm going to load it up with a bunch of TV shows and movies, but still I think i'm going to have space left over. Any suggestions as to what to do with all this hard drive space? I was thinking just using it as portable storage in disk...

Seriously? Did this thread die to the point that it's not even in this subforum anymore? Did it get archived or something? Langer, finish the mod! It's the only reason I ever visit Cases & Case Modding. Come on bro!

I recently got a new razer imperator gaming mouse and am having some issues with using it on my mac. I dual boot with windows 7 and in windows there are no problems whatsoever. But, when I restart and boot up SL, the mouse is not recognized. Rarely, it will work after a reboot, but almost...

Having a lot of issues with Steam/CS:S and considering a reinstall. How do I go about reinstalling Steam without uninstalling my games? I currently have CS:S and MW2 installed. Thanks in advance!

Are there any good known mods for this keyboard? One of the main things I wish I could do is to get black keys like they have on macbooks (like Langer did in the prometheus worklog), except the replacement keys are like 2 bucks a piece...do the math. Besides that, is there any way to: 1...

Is it really worth the money to invest in a "gaming" mouse surface? Does it make any notable difference? Would I be better off just buying an oversized standard pad?

Ok, i'm not sure exactly what section this should go in, but here goes: I have 2 monitors, one 24 inch one 22 inch. Just recently I switched around the DVI cables on my GTX285 so that the 24 inch is plugged into the 1st port, and is the main display for the BIOS splash screen, booting, etc. It...

Okay here's the scenario. Up till yesterday my computer was running W7 with no problems, using a Creative XtremeGamer PCI sound card. Last night I installed Snow Leopard on my secondary drive and quickly found out that my sound card didn't work with OS X. I did some thinking and remembered...

I will quite possibly upgrade my gtx285 to Fermi (whatever number they're going to give the highest end one, GTX380?? whatever) when it comes out next year; however, I currently have no plans of upgrading the rest of my system whatsoever. As far as I can tell, even when gaming is concerned, my...

Anyone got one of these yet? I guess it just came out so it might be a bit early. For some odd reason I'm intrigued and think I might replace my copperhead with one of these. Don't really care much about the customizable button position, but it does look pretty sick and 5600 dpi is obviously...

Has anyone experienced crashes with MW or MW2 when running an OC'd video card? I remember I would get crashes in MW if I OC'd my card AT ALL...it would just stop suddenly and the screen would fill with a solid color and system would hang. It's not heat related, the highest my card got was...

I just set up a virtual machine that runs OSX Leopard and as anyone who's done it knows, getting VMWare tools to run properly is difficult if not impossible. However, I ran across something that says all you have to do is install VMWare Fusion and install the Tools that come with that on the VM...

I recently got a second monitor, currently running a 24 inch samsung as my main and my old 22 inch samsung as secondary. I'm running W7 Ultimate x64. Prior to yesterday everything worked great. All of a sudden today I try to launch CS:S and the game doesn't work. No matter what I do, as soon...

Okay so I posted a thread earlier about how I was considering buying a second monitor, and today I did. I got a Samsung 2494HM 24 inch to add on to my 226bw. But there's an issue. I plugged it in and everything worked right off the bat. I was able to extend my desktop, correctly assign which...

For some odd reason I feel the need to either get a bigger monitor or get a dual monitor setup going. Currently I have a Samsung 226BW and it's been great. 2ms response time, great design, good colors, etc. However I've been noticing more and more how small it is. I went on ebay and saw...

So I'm considering buying L4D...however, is it too late to purchase it? By that I mean, have a lot of people already gotten bored and stopped playing or is there a sequel in the works relatively soon? It's still 30 bucks on Steam and I honestly have only played it once with a single friend so I...

Over the past year or so, I've accumulated 6 2gig sticks of Corsair Dominator DDR2 memory, 3 of which have failed over time. I'm very very unlucky when it comes to memory, but since I have 3 working sticks left, I'm not quite ready to switch brands and start all over. My goal is to have 4...

I thought I'd post this in the OC forum because insofar the only clue I have about this problem is that the culprit may be my OC. My system has been running rock solid stable for the past year or so with the same overclock - Q6600 at 3.6, 1.38 vcore, and DDR2 at 1066 5-5-5-15 timings...

I recently ordered a bolt on DIY window kit for an antec 900 side panel off frozencpu. Long story short my friend and I did a horrible job and totally fucked up the panel so that I no longer would care to use it. Now I am trying to get the thing replaced and fitted with a new window. So far I...

I need to buy a printer for light to medium use at home. I'm a student and don't exactly get excited about throwing down tons of cash for something like a printer, I'd like to keep it around the 100 dollar range max - free shipping and instant rebates/MIR are a plus. I really do not print very...

Does anyone know how to disable downclocking/powersaving on the gtx285?? I cannot play COD4 anymore because it just crashes no matter what my clocks are at. I have a feeling it is power savings related because everything else runs fine..

I am in the market for a 1tb external hard drive to house my music/movies/software/crap so I can use one of my internal drives to run windows7. Does anyone have a good recommendation as to what to buy? My internal drives are all WD, they have not failed me yet, but I don't know if they make...

I wanted to tell the story of my CPU, a chip that throughout constant abuse, mishaps, and over a year of moderately high overclocks, still powers my machine and amazes me to this day. The system I have now is the first one I ever built myself, and over the last year, my Q6600 has been the most...

I've been doing a bunch of case modding recently and have 2 questions about the 900 - 1. While extending/sleeving the front header wires and taking the top panel on and off, I somehow managed to rip out the wires from the power button. Does anyone know if these can be re-soldered back on...

I'm looking to buy a new card...I am sick of the 9800gx2 frame rate drops and microstutter. I've been reading and a lot of people say that at my res, the 260 is the best. My question is this - do those people mean that I would see NO difference between, say a 260-216 and a 280? It doesn't make...

Hey I want to sell my EVGA 9800GX2. This is the regular non-oc'd version, but I have been happily running it at 730, 1750, 1050 and I"m sure it can go higher with better cooling. The card is a champ, I can max out every game I own at 1680x1050. I'm looking to get $200 for it, I will pay...

Well, after deciding to sleeve all the cables in my system and buying a sleeving kit, I finally got the chance to start working today. I sleeved all my fans and then began the long, arduous, and in the end, very stressful, task of sleeving the 24-pin atx power connector. The reason it was...

I don't know if you guys have seen this, I just stumbled upon it. This is by far the most intricate build Ive ever seen, and one of the sickest looking. This guy takes attention to detail to a whole new level. Absolutely amazing modded rig...

i'm looking for a program that will change my desktop wallpaper it set intervals like every 5 minutes, once every logon, once every reboot, etc. I know there's a LOT of freeware crap out there and personally haven't used anything in the past except the built in wallpaper slideshow thing that...

Well I just put on dual hr-05 sli on both my nb and sb, and now my temps are bothering me. Everest reports idle temps of 45 on the nb, 35 on the sb, and for whatever reason, my motherboard temp went up to 46! All my settings are the same, however, I have moved around some stuff so that my video...

Hey, I'd like to sleeve my case fans' red, yellow, and black power cables with shrink wrap, but cannot do so without getting rid of the 3 pin power connector on the end. Does anyone know how to take this off and then put it back on? I searched google but could not find anything. If this...

I know that an hr-05 sli will work for the northbridge, but can I also use that cooler for the southbridge? For reference, I have a 9800gx2 almost completely blocking the southbridge chip, so I'm not sure how an hr-05 or similar type cooler would work, unless the vertical part slides out under...

I recently RMA'd my old GX2 and got a new one. One of the first things I wanted to do was to take the card apart and properly reapply good thermal paste on the cores. For reference, my card is aircooled, inside an aircooled antec 900, 5 case fans total. My question is whether it's even worth...

I took apart my card to reapply as5 instead of whatever crap they use regularly to the gpu's. I just finished one half of the card. The gpu beforehand was idling around 60, and now it's about 67. not only that, but the other gpu, which i haven't touched, used to idle around 58, and now it's...

Once again, EVGA has surpassed my expectations and made me a very happy customer. I had to RMA my 9800GX2 and of course wasn't too pleased about that. I sent the card in on monday and just received it half an hour ago (thursday night!). Not only that, but they sent me back a 9800GX2 KO...

I have a 9800gx2 currently running a 22" 1680x1050 monitor. It can max out pretty much all the games I play with the exception of crysis and crysis warhead running a little slower than I'd like. Also I'd like to max out far cry 2 completely with AA, but other than that, this card is great. I...
