My recent rig is now made better by a Corsair H100i. As per instructions, I installed it at the top of the case, with the fans as intake fans. Since there was a 200mm fan on the top, I repositioned it on the side of the case as an exhaust fan. Outside of the 200mm fan on the front, I have no...

My EVGA 8800GTS has gone to computer video card heaven. Every once in a while, and especially during gaming though it also happened when web-surfing, the video would freeze, fade out, and I'd have the "No video input" message on the monitor. Clearly this is a video card problem, and so I...

I finally got an AT&T representative who understood that I was looking for a competitive offer to make it worth my while to move to U-Verse from Comcast cable. I was quoted a phone/ 10 mbs Internet/television package that's $20 less than I'm currently paying for the combination of 10 mbs...

I recently moved into a bilevel home. This is about a 2000 sq ft home, with a central, open staircase. The modem is on the upper floor on one side of the house, while the wireless pc is on the lower floor on the other side of the house. To get coverage, I bought the N router. I also put an...

I have a stable overclock in my current system. I just purchased an 8800GTS to replace the 8600 vid card (which will now go in the computer I'll be building for dear old Mom :heart:). Obviously, I want to install the new card. I also have a sound card that's been kicking around for about 6...

My Tuniq Tower fan has long, long wires. I've twisted them and tied them, but they still find something to vibrate against. I know they're not hitting the fan blades, but the fan is just, well, noisy. I have a Yates Loon. The Loon fits in the Tuniq without a problem, EXCEPT that the Loon has...

My kid sister is in the data-analysis stage of her PhD research in molecular biology. Her research involves, among other things, analyzing 80 microarray samples. I don't have the kind of knowledge that it takes to appreciate the sheer amount of data, but apparently these can easily have about...

I am upgrading from an old socket A mobo. Obviously, it's more than past time. For the new build, I had planned to go with the following after having read good reviews and recommendations in the Anandtech guides: GA-965P-DS3 E6420 Super Talent 2x1GB DDR2-800 Seagate 320GB SATA HD XFX...

I just got a DS Lite a few weeks ago. So far, I love it! As a dedicated pc gamer, I've not owned a console before, but since it's hard to play games when I visit the family over the holidays (mostly because absenting myself from the family gatherings is considered extremely antisocial), I got...

My husband wants me to get a sub-$1K notebook. He'll need one for traveling, as his company is likely to send him out of town for an extended trip. He also wants one so that he can work remote while we're visiting relatives over the holidays. The machine would have to be able to run basic...

First some background: I had tried Ventrilo back in May without much success. My teammates and I settled on Yahoo Instant Messenger as a result. However, it looks as if our gaming group as a whole will have a dedicated Ventrilo server in the near future. Therefore, I would very much like to...
