I'm going to upgrade my computer and pass my old one down to family member. My budget is a little bit flexible I have 500 and can convince them to spend a bit. So if something is a big upgrade and goes over budget that's okay. I use my computer for gaming/programming/ect.. Nothing really special...

Well the whole PC experience encompasses more than just the PC guts. There's your chair, table, table arrangements (maybe a monitor arm, wiring arrangements) and so forth. So I was wondering, what would be your favorite PC related part or detail that changed your computing experience?

I have a pair of behringer 2030P speakers. I was considering adding a subwoofer to them. What would be a good recommendation in the 200$ or so price range? This is for PC use with a cheap receiver (was around 100-150 dollar range) (for movies,games, TV, music, ect. general use)

I've heard some pretty bad things about windows 10 spying on everything you do even if you disable tracking. To what extent does windows 10 collect data?

I want to buy some gems in clash of clans. The only way I'll feel not bad about doing so is if I use my steam bucks and other game junk. I have various in-game items that will net about 20-30$. In particular I have 4 Dota2 "Bloom Bounty" chests that sell for about 7$ each right now (you get...

http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Microphones-Yeti-USB-Microphone/dp/B002VA464S I wanted to buy this microphone but was waiting for a black friday/cyber monday deal. This is the best deal I've seen on it.

Only have a stock cooler on it. Didn't over clock it (no real need, didn't want the extra heat). I'm satisfied with it right now but maybe looking to upgrade by the end of the year. I will probably need more processing power then. So I want to ask: 1. What sort of performance boost will I...

Hi I decided to write my own game in OpenGL/C++. I have been learning off the OpenGL SuperBible but it is slow process. I know C++ well enough that I have had no probelms on that end yet. I would like someone experienced in OpenGL to teach me via voice chat or something to supplement my...

I have an old pentium 4 Windows XP dell box. It has 2GB of DDR RAM. I was wondering if there is anything neat I can do with it.

or can the stock possibly go any lower?

I have an XFX XXX edition 650watt PSU. I was playing some kings bounty when in the middle of it the screen started badly artifacting. Took my card out, it was pretty dirty so I cleaned out the heat sink and put it back in but the screen was tearing at the post graphic. The card is a gigabyte...

Okay I want to get an SSD for my main computer. I think that a 256gB is a little small but a 512gB drive is going to run cost a bit too much. I don't really need it for anything special but I want stuff to load faster and hang less because of HDD speed. Mostly just going to be gaming on it...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeabAAlcMBI is this legit? Edit: wrong forum...meant to put this in the video card forum

Do we get real benchmarks tomorrow? Or am I misunderstanding something?

I have onboard sound and a receiver. I was wondering what was the best way of connecting them. My options are: Toslink? 3.5mm to RCA? HDMI via GTX460? I'd have to buy another cable for HDMI though. Also, is it worth buying a sound card to use with my receiver?

I need a second monitor for programming and general utility and such. It doesn't really need to be a good monitor since it is probably only going to be displaying text and such but it'd be nice if it was half decent. I would like it to have an adjustable stand but I'm not sure if this is...

I remember the game felt all slow when I first played it. I played it today and it feels a lot like ut2k4. Did they fix the game or am I just remembering things wrong?

Okay I removed the 4 screws at the bottom but I cannot figure out how to open the thing. The fan inside makes a horrible screeching noise so I have to replace it or oil it or something. Anyone know how to open the case?

looking to spend around 50-100$. Well, it needs to be working so if you can guarantee that it will work error free for at least 30 days after purchase I'm good. I want to deal locally and just pay in cash so I'm going to try and see if I can. If you are in the Baltimore/DC area and have one...

I want to build a 2.1 system now and upgrade to 5.1 later so I don't have to spend a lot of money all at once. I don't have a set budget but lets say around 300-400$ for the upgradable 2.1 system.

Thoughts: considering building cheaply and upgrading the CPU sooner rather than later. Other thoughts: I'm going to probably get another monitor (not included in build, cheap TN panel for sure). Considering getting a 3rd just to try out eyefinity...just a thought though. 1) What will you be...

Personally, I bought a 1005PE some time ago and I am very pleased with it. A friend of mine is looking to buy a new netbook and I wonder if anything has changed. If not, I'll suggest the same thing to her.

Okay I need something small and cheap. I plan to buy a used one so I guess around 400-500$ max new? I'm hoping to get it used for around 300$. Note that small is bolded. I need it as small as possible without the price being raped horribly. I'm guessing 9" or so? Possibly a small SSD on it would...

Well, I'd like to buy a microphone for ~40 US$. Mostly will be used as a skype/vent microphone but will also be used to record voice. I'd like something that records voice accurately and preferably comes with a stand or clips on or something. The stand isn't extremely vital though. One more...

I am considering getting a mouse like the Razer Naga as I can see plenty of benefits for a shit ton of buttons on my mouse. What I want to ask is, what exactly are my choices here?

You have about 800$-1000$ to spend. You need: A netbook or small laptop that is light and easy to carry around. It doesn't really need much computing power. A new monitor. U2410 costs 400$ new. 2209WA costs 200$ new. 2709WFP costs 650$ new. Other monitors I don't know how much they cost. I...

Lets say I buy a 24" monitor right now. In about a year I'm going to have to drag it back with me on a plane or something. Is there any good way of transporting it? Is it going to survive in the original packaging if I just put it with the regular luggage?

Just wondering, which are the best ones out there?

Add tags which will exclude text from the search results. This will allow "SOLD" items to be excluded from the search engine(assuming people use them). Alternatively do the opposite: Add tags which will put the text into the search engine and anything without these tags will not be searched...

You know, those thick black bars really ruin the picture in my opinion. Someone needs to get 3 panels together with nothing in between. Tell me why this isn't possible.

I hate wires. I hate that they always tangle themselves up when I am not looking. I hate how my mouse needs to weave itself 50 times around every other wire in the back of my PC. I hate how my keyboard gets stuck because the damn wire is entangled in the same god damn way the mouse is. How do...

CORRECTION: T9550 not P. Sorry. Best graphics card you can get is a 9300M GS with 256MBs of RAM. Max screen size is 1440x900. Max battery cells is 9 cells. These are included in the 1050$ pricetag for the laptop. 1. Click here...

Well, I need a laptop for general computing use and a price range of around 600-1000. There will be ZERO gaming done on this laptop. 15-17" screen size is best. If you guys have any recommendations or deals that you know about please post. Thanks.

I recently purchased a set of headphones(I used speakers before exclusively) and I don't want to rape my hearing. I don't really know much about the subject so if you could share some advice, that would be great.

Picked one up along with 2x1.5TB green WD drives. Seems like a pretty nice USB enclosure. The casing is pretty strong and the edges are nice and rounded. The USB cable it came with is pretty short but the power brick has a pretty long cable. I'm currently transfer data over at a mind...

What do you think about this combo? I'll be buying it soon so I'd like to know if anyone has anything to say beforehand.

Alright. I need two things. I need 1-2TB of external storage (slow is fine, I'm just dumping media files on it. If it uses a power adapter it needs to be able to run on 100v) and I need one hard drive that will be used as a main hard drive (boot drive). The main drive doesn't really need massive...

So. Will there be anything in the 200$ or so range coming soon?

The onboard noise is terrible and not very good for headphones. So is it possible to stick some sort of sound card in there? NP5793 <-laptop in question.

Worth getting? I liked 2004. How does UT 3 compare? Are there enough people playing it? I usually just played death match.
