I'm looking to upgrade from my Westinghouse LVM-37W3. I sit close to the monitor (regular desk), so anything much bigger will be too big - 36-42" would be the sweet spot. I'll mostly be using it for work related tasks (web, email, etc), photo editing, video editing and occasional gaming. Super...

Just as the title says. Is there any rumored/speculated dates for the release of the 1TB Samsung 950 Pro?

I currently have an ASUS Z87 Pro with an Intel 4770K. My Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD is getting a bit long in the tooth, so I'm looking to upgrade my motherboard to support the new Samsung 950 Pro 512GB NVMe M.2 SSD. Availability for the ASUS Z97 Pro looks pretty scarce; I typically buy ASUS...

I'm currently running a Samsung 840 Pro and I'm looking to upgrade to a larger SSD, but I'm hesitant on getting a 512GB Samsung 850 Pro if the 860 Pro is around the corner. Any known rumors when it may be coming out?

I'm looking for an R9 290 or R9 290X video card, as well as a 850 EVO 250GB SSD. PM me if you have one.

I'm looking to buy a small machine that will be used mainly for web browsing, such as a mini pc or even a box that started its life out as a HTPC or a box built around an ultra-small form factor/ultra-compact form factor board. Just looking for something CHEAP that will do its job as a web...

Looking to purchase an unused Bad Company 2 Vietnam key. Perhaps you purchased a few extra copies during the sale and you've been waiting to sell one to me..? ;) PM me. Thanks!

Does anybody know if the 3TB WD My Book Essential External Drive (WDBACW0030HBK-NESN) contains a single 3TB WD Caviar Green Internal Drive (such as the WD30EZRSDTL), or if it contains a different/cheaper drive? If it's a different/cheaper drive, what's the differences? I'm assuming that the...

Hello everybody, I'm having a pretty unique (in my opinion!) issue with my main box freezing up. I have searched for over an hour, with no luck. I've been damn lucky in the past 10+ years fixing every single issue on my own, yet this one is just BAFFLING. I'm running Windows Vista 64-Bit SP1...

Hello everybody, I just got my new rig built and I'm coming from an ATI 9700 Pro, so I've never used Crossfire, SLI, etc. before so I am new to all of this. ;) I'm running an ATI HD 4870 X2 (Full PC specs in sig) which has a total of 2GB memory. In the GTA: IV Graphics settings, it shows...

Hello everybody, I'm running a Core i7 at 4ghz on air (Ultra 120 Extreme), with a 190 BCLK (x21 Multiplier, Turbo Mode..). I'm running at 1.30 volt and it seems to be completely stable with Prime 95. Temps are around 80-85 c at load. Is it too hot or will it be fine? Specs in my sig...

Hello everybody, I'm just getting everything together to purchase tonight to build a new i7 rig. One of the last items on the list is an aftermarket cooler for the CPU. My goal is around 3.8 GHz, hopefully. I've been planning on going with a True 120 for the Core i7 920, but where is the best...

Hello everybody, I plan on building a new i7 rig within a week to retire the ol' dinosaur in my signature. I would prefer a modular power supply this time around as the concept sounds intriguing; I have always battled the PSU cabling throughout the life of this computer with its fixed...

Hello everybody, I just got back home from my 800 mile roundtrip adventure to Arizona to pick up a second 37" Westinghouse LVM-37W3 to use as a dual monitor. Each monitor has a different firmware version - the first one shows the firmware as "V1. 5" and the second (new) one shows the firmware...

Looking to buy either a 37" Westinghouse LVM-37W3 or LVM-37W3SE to use as a second monitor (Already have a LVM-37W3.) I am located in Southern California (Temecula). I would love local pickup - if you're in Southern California or even Central/Northern California, as well as neighboring...

Looking for a SATA card, adding another hard drive but my motherboard is out of SATA ports :rolleyes: Zip code is 92595. PM me. Thank you :D

OK, so I searched the boards here but didn't really come up with anything. What's the best current deal for a 1 TB drive, that's not a Maxtor or a WD GreenPower drive, in your guys opinion? :) Any good Independence Day sales? Thanks! :D

Looking to buy a X1950PRO or a HD3850.. 256MB or 512MB versions. Must Be AGP. New or used, PM me! Thank you, - Randy

For sale is my own personal NEC MultiSync FP1355 Flat 22" CRT Monitor. I bought this monitor brand new for over $900.00 as it is not your typical low-end crt monitor. The color reproduction is nearly spot-on - perfect for graphics and imaging work. The screen is a TRUE FLAT NEC screen for no...

I just picked up my Westinghouse 37" LVM-37W3 the other day for a mere $500 bucks, and I didn't have this issue before with my NEC CRT monitor.. The contrast seems to be overly boosted in 3D games. It's so high that, say in Battlefield 2, the sky is so bright that the HUD disappears against...

My Western Digital 200GB "Caviar" HDD (IDE) is running pathetically slow. I've ran CHKDSK and it found no errors. When I attempt to Defragment the drive, no matter what program I use (including O&O Defrag 8.6) takes at least 30 minutes to Analyze 50% of the drive. I ran HD Tune and the...

I was thinking about this sweet little, tiny light-weight application that tracks your PC's Uptime with detailed statistics the other day that I used to run years ago.. all I remembered that it had "Uptime" in the title and the icon was a hot air balloon. After about twenty minutes of...

I the old saying is correct; "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Well... I formated my box a couple days ago. I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2 with all of the latest updates. I'm having a problem where Ctrl + Alt + Del won't end frozen applications. For an example, GTA:SA froze and I attempted...

I have a Home Theater with a Denon 2307CI Receiver. I often want to watch my "home movies" thats on my PC (not a dedicated HTPC) on my Sony VPL-VW50 Projector. What will I need? I will soon be rebuilding my PC and I will get a nVidia 8800GTX as it has Dual DVI-out. The distance is...

OK - I'm not sure if this is a bug/glitch or meant to be this way, but I have 100% in Career Mode with all of the races completed. My problem is, there is still tons of Wheels, Spoilers, etc. that are still locked. The wheel I'm most interested in is the AR Torq Thrust II's and it's still...

Please put on your thinking caps - I cannot for the life of me think of two good alternate words for the following two words: "Landscape": Horizontal orientation. I need a simple word to describe a photograph that is landscape style (length ways, vice versa of a Portrait orientated...

Just received my new WD SE16 320GB SATAII today and just got everything installed, formatted, partitioned and the drive letters moved around. Are there any good programs out there to test the HDD to check if it's bad or not? Thanks. :D

Call me an idiot but I've never really stayed up with the tech on HDD's, so I've got a few questions. My motherboard is an ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe and I currently have a WD Raptor SATA 74GB and a WD Caviar PATA 200GB. I'd like to purchase a WD SE16 Caviar 320GB from NewEgg (Link) but even...

I have no idea if such a program exists, but with a libary of over 15,000 home digital pictures there is quite a bit of Blurry or Out of Focus images. Now, I was wondering if there was some type of program that exists that will locate ('scan', 'find') these Blurry or Out of Focus images and...

KOST 103.5 is having a Rewards Program for a Free Family 4-Pack to Disneyland. I checked it out and basically we have to listen to their station at 8:50am, 12:50pm, 2:50pm, 3:50pm and/or 7:50pm to get their daily Disneyland codes. Each code is worth 100 KOST points. Their website says that they...

I have a NEC MultiSync FP1355 22" CRT. Bought it about 5 years ago. No problems at all, but just now while playing Battlefield 2, I kept hearing a very high pitch whine. I then toggled everything in the office I could think of with no luck. I then tried the monitor. Bingo. It stopped. I turn...

I built my current rig that's in my signature March '04, while keeping my 9700 Pro from the old system. I plan on upgrading within a month or two. I'm thinking about purchasing an AMD A64 X2 4400+ with an ASUS A8N [Non-SLI] motherboard and a nVidia 7800 GTX. I will keep my 74G Raptor and put...

I'm installing two security cameras and would like to put a monitor in our new entryway. I found a good deal on an HP L1530 (Only $120.00) 15" LCD monitor. It has Dual input (VGA and DVI); 15-pin mini D-sub VGA, Digital DVI-D inputs. My security cameras use RCA (Yellow = Video, White =...

I need a LCD to put in the wall next to our entry way for the outside security cameras. A 7" LCD seems too small to me and I think a 10", 11", 12" etc monitor would be perfect. I'll need it to have 2 A/V inputs, or just 1 A/V input and I'll use a switch box. Need it to be cheap, but a good...

Get it now.. http://www.getfirefox.com ;)

Just as the title says. What is the easiest, yet most effective way to give a limited user account on XP SP2 no internet access, that won't 'undo' itself over time? Thanks. ;)

I hate to make a new thread.. I'm really sorry. ;) Formatting early tomorrow morning and want to be sure I'll (hopefully!) have an answer by morning.. anyway: I downloaded both SP1a & SP2 in an .exe format. (120 - 220 MB each) Is SP1 required before SP2 would be installed? If it isnt, would only...

I currently have a P4 3.0C at 3.3 GHZ. I would like to upgrade around, say - February to the latest hardware, but not a complete system overhaul. (Top of the line CPU, Motherboard, Graphics & PSU.) I can keep my memory, disks, case etc. Anyway, I'm curious if anybody knows if there is...

Hello everybody, I've had SP1 since it came out and had zero problems. Of course, I read about all of the horror stories when SP2 was first released, but I havent followed it since. I'm getting ready to format soon and purchase Ghost, so here's the question of the day: Should I keep...

Here is a warning to EVERYBODY: If it aint broke, don't fix it. I was in the mood this morning to upgrade. I checked out the Catalyst 5.7 drivers and saw that it gave a huge performance increase with 128MB cards. Cool, I thought. I could use it. I downloaded them, uninstalled my old drivers...
