This year has been tough for me financially. I'm selling my HD 650's as well as my tube amp to downgrade to something else. I was thinking about getting some in ear buds (something like the Sennhieser CX500s) as well as either a standalone HTIB setup or maybe a couple of powered...

Anyone know? I wanted to be able to switch between a receiver & speakers over a digital spdif connection and have a separate tube amp hooked up to analog for dedicated headphone use. I have an AV-710 right now that can do both if I switch to 'Hi Sample Rate Mode' but then it resamples DTS & DD...

Have you found any better mouses? I was thinking of getting a G9 but one of the primary reasons I want a new mouse is because this one can't track fast movements. Huge problem in CoD4 because it will get stuck sometimes when I try to turn quickly. I heard that the G9 wasn't much better. I...

I bought two of these and discovered they're the wrong size for my case (probably should have made sure before I bought them) I paid $6.99 for each of them and another $7 for shipping from newegg. They are unused in new condition including all packaging unopened. I'm willing to let both go for...

I just got a $4000 0apr (until next year) credit card so I am itching to buy new hardware. I wanted to buy an intel cpu and new mobo/memory and stuff but I heard the Nvidia chipset SLI mobos sucked next to the intel ones. Any idea when the 9800 will come out so I can ditch my sli setup?

Haven't followed new hardware in a while. Have been trying to hold off upgrading for as long as possible since I hadn't seen much reason for it. Anyways, long story short my CPU can't handle running at 2.75ghz anymore, is giving me trouble even at 2.5ghz and my memory has always sucked quite...

I have a friend who is having difficulties with her PC. I was curious how people go about finding kids/techs that could help people who aren't very experienced using computers. Her issues mostly seem to be spyware (probably viruses as well) and other very simple sorts of fixes that a young...

It's been 2 weeks since the Orange Box was released and the HL2 SLI shadows bug still exists. I've put off playing episode 2 until they release working drivers since I'd rather no have to play with low shadows or without SLI. I'm hopping over to ATI the second they release a competitive...

I've had my setup for some time now and I'm starting to get bored with it. I've never really been that happy with the performance I've gotten out of the system and just recently it's been giving me trouble for reasons which go beyond what I'm willing to waste my time on. The PC worked fine...

Anyone know of any that were in the same price range as the Westinghouse 37W3 monitor? I found a link on newegg to a 37" sceptre monitor but it's sold out and other retails are gouging the price on it so I assume it's also been discontinued. Would be great if I could find a 37" or higher monitor...

My main IDE drive is f*ckered and I bought a Sata drive to replace it. Do I need any sort of special drivers to install XP on the new drive?

Here's a strange one. About 2 months back I'd gotten into an argument and subsequently banned a member from a forum I'd administered. Around the same time I started to experience strange instability problems with my net connection dropping and my modem switching itself off. I'd used ZoneAlarm to...

I thought I'd try this game out since I've been bored with most of the games I have. I tried to download and noticed everything was crawling and my dl speed was as slow as dial up. I dled netlimiter, and I see that I'm uploading more than I'm downloading. For someone who has to be conscientious...

I'm trying to make my case as quiet as possible but for some reason I still get a high pitched noise that sounds like a fan spinning. I'm proof positive it's not a fan though becauseI removed them all (including chipset fan) and still got the noise. It thought it might be my PSU so I removed...

What are the best dremel discs for cutting aluminum case material

I have some yate loon fans I want to attach to a fan controller using 3pin headers. Problem is they have extra 4 pin male/female plugs that run off the 3 pin. I wanted to know if it was ok if I just cut the 4 pin plugs off for the sake of keeping things tidy.

Budget is probably around ~300. I want to hook them up to my Panasonic XR-55 (I'm not sure of the quality of the headphone jack) I've taken to watching movies in the evening and get noise complaints, even at 7pm with moderate/low volume levels. So I figure I should probably look into some...

Has anyone compared the two? I'm sort of getting sick of my Copperhead but I'm not sure if I can justify the cost of a new mouse since this one still works OK. I get annoying tracking problems when I move the mouse extremely fast but it's not often that I do that. I used to really like...

I want to add a window to my Tj07 and I saw that pcmods.com has some premade acrylic windows. I have 0 experience what so ever with machining and if I mess this up I'm out $300 since you can't get replacement panels for TJ07's. Anyone have advice on how to do this as easily as possible with...

I'd like to add a window to mine. I'm not very handy with tools though, don't own a dremel or saw or anything. I thought I might like a minimalistic sleek look but after owning the case a little over a year I'm really wishing it had a window. Anyone know of a service that would allow me to...

I've got 8 fans in a silverstone TJ07 case. I'm trying to find a fan controller to control them all so that I can lower the noise level when I'm watching movies. I could just buy any old front drive bay fan controller but the problem is I don't have any front bay slots left because I have two...

NM stupid question

Anyone know how much these go for used these days? From what I've read the panel in these is better than the 2407FPW. I still have the original box and everything so I'm wondering if it might be worth anything. I'd kind of like to get one of those giant westinghouse screens as a replacement.

Doesn't SPDIF offer cleaner sound?

I have 3 hard drives. My main hard drive, up until I installed vista, was a 60gb IDE drive (drive C). I have a slave drive attached to it (drive D). I partitioned a Sata drive (drive F:, apologizes if I'm making this more confusing than it should be. I'm highly sleep deprived at the moment) and...

Anyone got an extra for cheap? The regular 2.0 USB extension cable I bought doesn't seem to work with my keyboards hub.

I have this on ebay and amazon as well (easy to spot because it's the lowest price) I'm asking for 145.99 including shipping. It's essentially in brand new condition, used just over a month and includes all retail packaging, cables and inserts. Here's a nice large photo of the box I'm...

I have an Icemat 2 and an Ikea Jerker desk and the icemat slides around with a small amount of pressure despite it having 6 rubber feet. Same with my SMK 88 keyboard as well. Now this may be a silly question but can anyone suggest some products which would have enough friction and stopping power...

Each time I boot into vista from XP or vice versa I have to unplug my modem, wait some time, then plug it in again in order to get a net connection. This becomes quite tiring since I'm regularly switching back and forth between each OS. Is there any way around this issue?

Anyone know which hardware component would cause something like this? It's strange because it makes a noise like it's shutting down (a clicking + power down sort of noise) but nothing happens, no crashes or anything like that. It began happening when I installed Vista, actually it happened like...

I think I'm going to give vista a shot but I'm trying to figure out whether or not I can create a partition on a slave drive and have vista run off it from there. I have a 60gig IDE drive I use for XP and about 175 gigs free space on a SATA drive. I wanted to create the partition on the sata...

Does anyone here have any experience with Deck keyboard? I guess what I should ask is does this forum have any satisfied Deck keyboard owners? I just spent what equates to a small fortune for one of their 82 key keyboards and I'm not happy with the build quality at all. 2 of the LED lights...

Just wondering if anyone knows whether or not Nvidia is going to release new drivers any time soon. There are a few bugs that have gone unrepaired for over a year now (lost the ability to scale resolutions in the drivers, black arc bug in IL-2 etc) I noticed that the scaling bug seems to have...

My 60 year old father had shown some interest in getting a video card for his PC (it's quite nice, a DUO dual core running vista etc...) but after I had told him decent cards start around $200 and he lost all interest in getting one. Are there any OK video cards around this price range? He has...
