    After yesterdays post, I'm going to build my own one time use gaming rig

    1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Mostly web browsing. I will want to play Diablo 3 whenever that comes out though. I'm in IT, so I'll tinker with things, but I also have an ESX box at home for most of that. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping...

    Looking for a new desktop...is this a decent price for what it is?

    My old desktop finally bit the dust and I guess it's time to move on. I've been out of the desktop space for years now so I'm a little unfamiliar with whats out there right now. I'm actually going to buy a built PC (I know *gasp*). I do basic web surfing, but I will want to play Diablo 3 when...

    Is there any other TV streaming software out there? Like TVUplayer or sopcast

    but with US channels? TVU has a few channels, CBS, ABC, Sci-Fi, CSPAN, but thats about it. All I really want are the cable news channels but I can't seem to find anything that offers them. It can be for Windows or Linux. Anyone know of something like that?

    8400M GS vs 9200GS...big difference? Looking for a laptop

    I'm looking for a laptop, I'm not really looking to game with it although a halfway decent video card would be nice. I think I've narrowed it down to the HP dv4t (9200) and the Dell XPS M1330 (8400). Any comments?

    Has anyone hacked up a laptop to use the LCD by itself?

    I have an old junk laptop that wont turn on anymore but the screen still works. How tough would the laptop screen apart and use it as a monitor? I'm guessing there are just a few wires that correspond to a VGA plug? Could I just get a ac/dc converter from radio shack to power it?

    honeyd's webserver

    I've been messing around with honeyd the past few days and I noticed on the site it says that it comes with a built in webserver for statistics but not a whole lot more. Any idea on how to get to the webserver? I thought it would set everything up itself. Is there any configuration thats needed?

    Have you ever heard of a PSU killing motherboards?

    My little cousin's computer died a few weeks ago. You'd go to hit the power button and nothing would happen. I figured out the motherboard blew. I replaced the motherboard for him and the PC was good for two weeks. I just got a call from my uncle saying its doing the same thing it was doing...

    Northbridge fan is shot

    I have an MSI K8n Neo2. What can I get as a replacement? The only reason I ask is because I'm not so sure how another heatsink will attach to the northbridge. There are two little spring loaded posts on either side of the heatsink I have now but the few replacements from thermaltake and...

    Why is my Raptor so slow?

    *I also noticed it doesn't like my other SATA drive. So far I haven't been able to get the missing operating system or NTLDR with the other drive unplugged, its still uber slow though* I just reformatted my computer because my game performance was very low for my system and I couldn't figure...

    what settings to use on the Neo2 Plat?

    I'm so lost with all this crazy tech talk. I have a 3000+ Winchester and OCZ 3200 Rev 3 2.5-3-3-6. What settings should I set? I wont be OCing much, this Zalman 7000b-alcu is kinda holding me back.

    Well I just found out that my K8N Neo2 Platinum wont run my Winchester

    It needs to have a bios revision of 1.3 or higher, and I have 1.0. Anyone have any info on this? Who do I call at MSI? Do I have to pay for the new BIOS chip? I tried calling tech support all day but it was busy. I was all excited to get this stuff working today, I was playing with it for like 3...

    1726T-HS/D1025HT should I be looking for a new monitor?

    Just curious because I know nothing of monitors and I just ordered a new puter. Athlon 64 3000+ and a 6800GT. I'm thinking this one might not be able to keep up with it because its 6+ years old. I cant find stats on it anywhere and if I did I would really know what I was looking at...someone...

    question for people with submersible pumps and reservoirs

    how did you seal the electrical plug in the res? I cant think of any way to do it other than cutting the plug off the wire, running it through the res and then reconnecting the plug. Thats an ok idea but I dont like the fact that my pump is stuck to my res. Maybe some kind of quick disconnect...

    Abit KT7A locks while idle

    I know its an old system but its for my parents...its a Duron750 and a KT7A. I have to leave folding@home on or else it locks up. I remember fixing this awhile ago when it was my system. AthlonOC had an article about editing registers so this didnt happen but that site isnt up anymore. Anyone...

    harness mother nature

    I did it awhile ago, but never took pics of it. My room is right next to the attic and there was a cable jack near my computer that wasnt being used. I drilled holes for the hoses and ran the radiator out into the attic. Worked great during the cold months, the attic isnt insulated so it would...

    can't get webserver up

    I'm having a difficult time with this. I have an SMC barricade router with both fowarding ports set to 80. I tried using tinyweb and lil'http and neither work. Computers on the network can see it but no one else. I'm thinking somethings wrong with the router but I can figure it out PS win98se

    I need a ridiculous fan

    I just finished moving my radiator out of my room and into my attic. The only problem is that I don't have wires long enough to run my regular fans that far and now that its in the other room I can afford to have a stupid huge fan because I cant hear it. I found a couple 550cfm fans on eBay...
