So I'm planning on picking up a nice sound card for my next comp build, either an X-fi Titanium HD or a Xonar Essence STX. I'm putting a super high priority on 2 channel headphone listening, so I decided on getting something that wasn't going to spit electronic noise at me constantly. I also use...

After a recent winXP install, my c drive partition now shows up as the boot drive and my d drive shows up as system drive in disk mgmt. is there a way to set c as boot and system drive? All I want to do is label partition 2 as system, I don't want to swap drive letters etc. 30GB C drive...

Currently when I adjust the volume in winamp, it adjusts the wave volume in the volume control panel. How can I set it so winamp increases/decreases just whats playing in winamp and not everything else. Winamp 5.13 M-Audio Revolution 7.1 Win XP Pro

I have a 2005FPW and I play WoW a lot. And If I look at like a brown background, I can see where my action bar buttons are starting to burn into the screen. I know a lot of projection TV's had problems like this, but I wasn't aware of this being a problem with LCDs Is there any way to fix this??

In my sn95g5 (v2) I've had a 1GB stick of PDP PEP1G3200LL ram in it with absolutely no problems for the past few months. I bought another stick of the same ram (although upon recieving, the pcb was a different color) and with both slots filled the bios will post but not load the os from the hard...

I ordered 50 :) http://shop.usps.com/cgi-bin/vsbv/postal_store_non_ssl/display_products/productDetail.jsp?OID=1003567 EDIT: More free boxes http://shop.usps.com/cgi-bin/vsbv/postal_store_non_ssl/display_products/productDetail.jsp?OID=1003548...

I can hear hissing through my headphones, although it's not constant. It'll come on for a few secs to a minute or two then go away for an hour. I've tried messing with the 1/4"-1/8" adapter and that's fine, I've also played around with the cord and that doesn't stop it either. I've routed it as...

What kind of chips do they use? All other 1GB sticks I've seen have been CAS 3 or 2.5 (with the exception of corsair CMX1024-3200C2PT at 2-3-3-6) LINK Model# PEP1G3200LL DDR-400/PC-3200 Non-ECC/Unbuffered 2 - 3 - 2 - 5 128 x 64

So I heard that th PN15 wireless adapter was really shitty, lost signal, etc.. byut the PN15g was really good? All I can find available to buy is the PN15 though? I really can't use my PCI slot as my sound card took that slot and I don't trust the wireless ones because they have almost nothing...

I'm torn between the two. My plan is to build up in steps with the vid card being last (since they become outdated quicker than all other components) But I don't want to not be able to play any video games for 2-3 months. My other option is to just get a SN95G5, being that the only real...

building up a new comp and I need a sound card. Most of my listening is split up 50/50 between music and games. I use a pair of Sennheiser 555's and very rarely connect them to my home theater setup.

Do any PCI-E wireless cards exist yet? Any good ones? EDIT: PCI-x1 or whatever it's called

So I decided to play a little CS:S today and what do I see.... Currently using Catalyst 5.2 drivers (8.10) on a 9600 Pro, not overclocked, running 1024x768 textures and models on medium, AA off, trilinear filtering, vsync off.

Are there any program updates or anything for the razer software? Because I'm used to having the left two side buttons for fwd and back (win control) and this forces me to use the fwd left and right side buttons. Also, on-the-fly sensitivity can only be set to button 4?

Do any exist yet? Moreso, do any decent ones exist yet that also have a good refresh rate? I'm really itching to get an lcd, but I want widescreen and be able to play games flawlessly before I take the plunge.

I wonder how hard it would be to work with ~3/8" thick steel. I was thinking about making a massively heavy case and maybe polishing it. My main problem would be cutting it though as I know a dremel or jigsaw most likely wouldn't do the job.

Is anybody else having crackling/hissing problems with it? It doesn't seem to be an interference issue with the wireless controller, because it does the same thing when plugged into a corded controller. Also, the voice icon flickers on and off in halo even in a silent room. Pretty irritating...

my desktop icons have shadows underneath them, whcih, coupled with a white background looks absolutely retarded. How can I get rid of it? I can't seem to change icon text color in appearances either to anything but white.

I need power connectors that mount to a piece of metal, i.e. the back wall of a PSU so I can make a modular one :) They don't HAVE to be the same as the regular molexs but itd be a big plus.

I need some good paint for lexan/acrylic, and I know I can get some for rc cars at hobby shops but, its like $7 for a 1/4 of a normal size spray can. Does krylon/duplicolor/rustoleum make a good paint for this thats not gonna cost an arm and a leg? BTW, I'm planning on building an all...

I tried powering up my comp today and all I got was a single, long beep. So I make sure everything is seated good and it still beeps. Take the stick (good one) out of ddr slot 2 and it doesn't boot, swap that for the dying one in slot 1 and it powers up just fine. No big deal, memeory stick is...

wondering how to get modders mesh to make "indentations" for example, the centurion log here you can tell the mesh has been pushed back so the logo is flush. That not my exact use, i'm using it for a blowhole cover for an xbox, but I want the mesh to stick out of the hole so it's flush with...

So I'm thinking about finally getting a replacement case for my current one which looks like this.. And I was looking at coolermaster centurion 5's in black/silver, black/blue, but I really want to make my plexi case that i've been designing off and on since before I got my chieftec. My...

My refresh rate for my monitor doesn't change. I can change it in display properties to 60, 72,75,85 etc.. but my monitor stays at 60hz. EV700 (17"CRT) Radeon 9600 Pro Windows XP SP2 Catalyst 4.9s Any fix for this? Could have been after installing SP2, but im not sure if it was...

when Xp starts loading, it restarts. I tried to get to it in recovery console, but apperantly you can't access documents and setting folders. Already tried safe mode and starting up while holding down shift to no avail.

So for whatever reason, when I open outlook express by link, run, or the actual exe, it starts aohell instant messenger too. EDIT: it seems if I disable "make aim default instant messenger program" (in aim options) it stops doing it. wth would cause that?

Hurt like a son of a bitch :mad: Just a note to be safe with your case modding. I got shocked testing out an LCD screen, didn't pay attention and touched one of the caps with my finger. The assailant:

Work in progress, all parts in black are getting some blue paint tomorrow. If it looks like it lines up goofy, it's because it's missing it's bottom + internals purrddy. friends ps2 (but just silver) Paints are all Duplicolor Truck, Van, & SUV touch up paints. Ultra Silver...

Not buying a mobo or video card yet, but planning to in the next few months. Buy then, AMD PCIe mobos and PCIe vid cards ought to be plentifull, but I don't want to end up with something that's going to end up a flop. Should I just buy AGP versions or PCIe?
