    Thinking of upgrading PSU - Corsair

    Currently I have a Corsair TX850W PSU. I've been thinking of upgrading it, either the HX1050 or the AX1200. Would the AX1200 be overkill? The price difference between the two right now on Newegg is a mere $50, which isn't a problem but I wanted to see what everyone here would recommend...

    EK 5870 block, corrosion?

    I recently purchased this block and noticed something odd, it appears there might be corrosion on the nickel plating surface, almost like its tarnished. Is this normal? I have sent an e-mail off to EK asking for their input. The block functions fine, this is merely cosmetic but I'm curious to...

    Had a clearance problem with my H20 setup

    I installed my new LG Blu-Ray burner today and cut it damn close. The drive is about a 3/4 of inch longer than my previous IDE burner (Samsung). The power adapter got in the way and prevented the drive from being fully installed. I managed to create an easy compromise and simply moved the...

    4870X2 at QuakeCon 2008

    Here are a couple of photos from the AMD event a few hours ago at QuakeCon 2008 here in Dallas, Texas. The AMD showing was very :o in my opinion. I remember when Intel displayed off the Core 2 Duo overclocking during 2006, now that was worth attending. What ticks me off is the gentleman in...

    TeamFortress 2 dedicated server question

    Im playing around with the dedicated server for TF2 and I was wondering if it is possible to connect to the server with the client on the same machine? I keep getting a "cannot create port" error. Is there something that needs to be added to the server.cfg file or is my router blocking ports?
