Hey guys,
I'm looking to start streaming PC games via www.twitch.tv and am in need of a secondary monitor so I can play games and manage my stream simultaneously. I'm a bit of an OCD case, and am looking for the closest monitor, physically, to match it. I do not need anything special as I...
Been a while since I've posted here, but I'm in the market for a new PC this holiday season and I'm a bit out of the loop when it comes to parts and pricing so I wanted to check here to make sure everything is kosher. I'll run through the list of questions to keep this organized, then post what...
Hey guys,
With Christmas coming up I am going to get myself something to watch content from my PC on my TV, but I'm torn between the WD TV Live or the Roku 2 XS. I'm leaning towards the WD TV Live since all I really care is that it can play most, if not all of the video files I have on my PC...
Hello everyone, looking for a little advice here and I apologize in advance for the long post.

Anyone know what Socket A motherboards have firewire? If you guys know any, could you help me out? My friend has been looking for a long time and the only one he can find is the Abit NF7-s but its kinda pricey.
This seems to be the right place to ask what I should, well, ask for my system.

Is it possible to fit a ZALMAN CNPS7700-CU Heatsink into one of these shuttles? If you have successfully fit one in please post, and if their was any modding that needed to be done please tell me how you did it :D
Okay, I am using my friends monitor, Daytek 963DF, and sometimes it makes this reeeally high pitched squeeling noise. Its not the refresh rate being too high because I'll be at 1280x1024 @ 60hz and it will be fine, then I'll play a game (counter-strike) 640x480 @ 85hz and then go back to the...
I'm looking for a video card to run HL2 and CS:Source at decent frame rates in gunfights.
My specs are in my signature (the video card there is gone now, I'm using a temporary FX5200)
Thanks for your help.
Okay, I'm wondering if I buy a Socket A shuttle and put my 92mm Vantec tornado on the back of it with a 80 -> 92 duct type thing, will I see good cooling performance? Comparable to SLK947u?
I'm running an Athlon XP-m 2500+ and I would like to push to at least 2.2 with this. (I had it at 2.6...
Can anyone suggest a small case that will fit a full size ATX board? If they arent much smaller than my current case (LL PC65) I'm willing to get an mATX board, but I cannot fit my heatsink and fan into an Aria or Shuttle. :(
How much room is above the socket in antec arias. I need to know if I can get my SLK947u in there. Also how much room from the right edge of the socket and the left edge, thanks for your time (:
I would like to know if there is any SFF case that would fit a SLK-947u with a 92mm Vantec Tornado. I really want to get a SFF but I'm worried about cooling :O
I am planning on modding my computer massively over the holidays. I was planning on getting water cooling, I just don't know what products are the best bang for the buck. I was hoping you guys could give me a list of things I need to buy and some links please ^_^
XP 2500-m @ 2.4 right now...
You know those wire grills, usually come in chrome? I was wondering where I can find black ones, I'm about to chop up my Li-Li and put some wiregrills in and I want black ones. If not, I'll just order the chrome ones and paint them, but it'd be easier to just get them in black.
I just finished installing my 2500m with a Thermalright SLK-947-u and a Vantec Tornado 92mm. I'm at 1.86ghz at 26c idle. What should I push it to? 2.4? 2.5? If you could give me exact specs that would help. (ie 225x12 @ 1.9v). I have tried to overclock it and it just wont do 2.0 2.2 or 2.5 with...
Okay, I'm looking to mid a 120mm fan in the bottom left of my window on my Lian-Li PC65b. I was wondering what size hole saw it would be, and is it easy to cut through the Lian-Li windows?
The thread title says it all pretty much. I'm either going to get the XP-M 2500+ with a Thermalright SLK900A or XP 3200+. What would you guys do?
BTW this is a backup plan just in case my friend can't get the money together to buy my whole computer. I'll just upgrade bit by bit ^^.
Okay, I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I want to get a TV tuner to do a few things:

Edit : I have cable, with about 90 channels if...
I was wondering where I can place blowholes on the Aria. I've tried to look for pictures where I can see the clearance but no luck. If anyone has a modded Aria with 80mm blowholes, please post pictures, inside and out :). Thanks.
I cannot seem to find a socket A Shuttle that supports Dual Channel DDR400 AND Serial ATA. The closest I found to it was the Shuttle SN45G, which lacks SATA. If anyone knows of a small form factor that has both of these features on a Socket A board, then pleaase tell me. Also, Shuttles are...
Okay, I'm going to overclock my XP 1700 once I get a cooling soltution from Thermalright. I would like to know what you guys think of MBM, is it accurate enough so I know if I'm pushing my CPU too much. I've used it in the past but I need to know if it's accurate enough. Also what do you guys...
At the moment my system is running in a LL PC65b. I'm looking for a Chenming Aluminum Dragon, in white. Why you ask? So I can get my mod on :P. Anyways, the chenmind will replace my LL for my main machine once its modded. The LL will be used for my 2nd computer which right now is just collecting...
