This is at the Brooklyn location. Damn, I bought one when it was $319, returned it due to bad mobo killing it, and the replacement was $10 cheaper about 6 days later, now it's even lower by $20. I can't win (well maybe, I saved $10? lol), but that's a...
Are you having any fan issues, as in the fan runs at 100% all the time? I'm running build 10532 on a 128GB Core i5 SP3. The last few builds have behaved this way. I'm also connected to the dock which has an LG 24" ultra wide display connected to it. The last few builds were automatic...
I've been rocking ATI cards in my HTPCs for a few reasons, low heat, low noise, and HDMI out with 7.1 lossless audio. I'm currently running a 6870 2GB Sapphire card in the computer that I want to upgrade. It is slightly noisier than a stock 6870 since they used a different fan.
I read the...

I've been happy with the 5770 in my HTPC so far but I need something with a bit more oomph. I want to get...
Title says it all! Trials seem to up for download as well. I'm downloading now at 700k-2Mb/sec. Which reminds me, I have to check out some of the many articles they have been posting on the new features.
OCZ Support forums has a sticky with instructions and download links for those interested in getting TRIM support or GC support depending on the way your drive is installed.
If you upgraded to the beta firmware 1.4x, you will need to back flash to 1.10 then to 3.something and then to the...

It is a non-destructive flash. I just did both of my 60GB drives without a problem. What does this do for me, you might ask? It enables TRIM support within the OS, and there is improved Garbage Collection which runs...
I tried to read the "Gateway XHD3000 - 30" Widescreen Extreme HD Display" thread but I keep getting this "F5ing broke it...." error page.
**No longer getting the error. Found the info I was looking for sort of and J&R has it for $999 also so if it's in stock I will pick it up from there...
I'm using resources and I normally type out the {project_name}.Properties.Resources.{resource_name} but it's pretty annoying. Is there a shortcut, a way to alias the whole {project_name}.Properties.Resources bit?
I noticed something strange, my system originally scored 5.9 with 4GB of ram 2X2GB and 4X1GB configurations. Now I noticed after upgrading my motherboard and adding 2GB of spare ram to go with my 4GB of 2X2GB sticks I now get a 5.2 in the memory test. I checked Everest and the memory read test...
I want to buy a ThermalRight IFX-14 and probably a handful of those Noctua fans. I'm running into a couple of problems. First, Newegg and ZipZoomFly do not carry the HS and their search doesn't bring up Noctua items, so I don't know where to buy. Second, I hear Scythe has some 120mm fans that...
My wife threw out my bags by accident and I'll need to RMA my motherboard and ram in a few days. I've only come across the bags in bulk and I don't need 100 bags (especially at $40-60 + shipping). Is there anyone here with some extra motherboard bags that'd be willing to sell a couple to me for...
I received my second 8800GTX last night and slapped it in not realizing that my Enermax Liberty 620 only had two 12V rail plugs. No problem I thought since adding up the max Wattage of the all the parts including the second GTX came out to 422. So I used one 12v rail for each card and an...
I'm surprised there aren't any posts about it. Anyway, I just installed it tonight and gave the game a second chance and I couldn't believe it, it was actually fun! Steering is working properly now from what I can tell and I can see what they were getting at with the physics engine. It's not so...
So I've had my first flash freeze experience at the excavation site and I'm making my way towards the extraction point per headquarters advice. I'm pretty much reaching my destination "as the eagle flies" or whatever that saying is, mowing down everything in my path. By the way I'm playing this...
Fileplanet has it and as usual the download speed is crappy (for me at least). I'm downloading from Giganews. I haven't checked any other sites but if the newsgroups already have it then I guess there should be torrents available.
I put my machine to sleep this morning before leaving the house for work. When I got home I twitched the mouse to wake it up and it popped right up to my locked account as it should. However, a couple of seconds later I'm presented with that oh-so-lovely BSOD STOP ERROR 0x07A.
No biggie, it...
Get it at GameSpot
I'm getting about 1.5MB/s from their site. The download manager doesn't work for some reason. I also have a membership to the site so I don't know if that is why I'm getting great bandwidth from them.
Hey guys,
I just upgraded my computer and thought I would post my results with my new gear. I'm currently running the following:

eVGA 680i P25 Bios
G.Skill 6400PHU2-2GBHZ

Hey guys,
I didn't think I would do it this year but since some friends are taking most of the parts of my current rig off my hands I'll move to the Intel platform and go with a Core 2 Duo setup. The sale of my processor, ram, motherboard, 1900XT and 850XT will fund the purchase of an Intel...
I'm starting to think that certain performance issues either have more to do with Microsofts decision to move the audio subsystem out of Kernel mode or some compatibility problem between nForce 4 and Audigy 4 cards. I removed the Creative beta drivers, rebooted and installed the Kx Drivers...
I believe Eidos is the publisher. You can find it on FilePlanet. I played around with it for about 10 minutes and loved it! I would try to finish it if I didn't have to run errands with my daughter. Anyway, give it shot, if you have time, post your impressions.
Go get you some DX9 SLI lovin'. I think. 8800GTS/GTX owners download the damn things and report back. Pretty please? And you 6-7 series owners, NO BITCHING IN THIS THREAD ABOUT LACK OF SLI SUPPORT, DELAYS ETC. Thank you.

I currently own a RatPadz GS and an Everglide pad. Both have worn down quite a bit and are causing tracking issues not to mention they just aren't smooth anymore. I did have these for about 5 years now. :eek: I clean them regularly but that didn't stop the plastic from losing it's slickness...

I'm cleaning my drives to free up a partition to dual boot and try and get this Beta up and running on my rig. I've been using it at work on a Dell GX620 and I like it so far. Fast User Switching while joined...
I just downloaded (6minutes), installed and finished the demo. Pretty cool graphics, good controls and lots of violence. The gameplay was playable and enjoyable at 1920x1200 on my pc with everything turned up except for 2xFSAA, 8xAF and no soft shadows. The FPS freaks will want to dial the...
I really want to buy this panel but I wanted to read honest owners opinions about this monitors real world performance in games and movie watching. I'm currently using an ATI 1900XT video card by the way.
If you are playing games with the panel, how does it perform? What games are you...
