Here's the components I currently have: Case: Corsair 600T (White) Ram: GSkill 8GB DDR3 1333 GPU: Sapphire Toxic 6950 SSD: Crucial M4 128GB PSU: Corsair TX750 Here's the components I'm unsure about: Motherboard (MSI?) I really don't need anything special on the motherboard, but I would like...

I know this is probably an over-asked and ignorant question, but what is the best way to score a modern cellphone cheap without getting an additional contract/line? After my iphone 4 was stolen, I wound up getting some cheap unlocked Nokia phone as a replacement which turned out to last me no...

I'm currently looking to upgrade from a 280GTX but am a bit unsure as to what to choose. A lot of people seem to be recommending the HD6970 over the 580GTX as people say the 580GTX isn't a good value. I'll be gaming on 1920x1200 and would like to play all the newest games (or at least a good...

I have a few general questions (which have probably been asked before) that I couldn't find the answers to by searching or googling. 1.) Why is it that computer monitors are able to support higher resolutions (such as 2560x1600 often found on 30" monitors) than televisions? Is it an issue of...

This may not be the best forum for this, but I'm seeking general audio advice not specific to computer speaker systems. What I'm looking for is a full-fledged mid-high end system (speakers, subwoofer, receiver) that will be used for a computer and TV, and which can be upgraded/expanded with...

I'm currently searching for a good (potentially the best?) mp3 player out on the market right now. I'm kind of hesitant getting on the ipod bandwagon, but if you guys can assure me it's the way to go, then I'll look into it. I don't need much space - my last mp3 was 512mb and it sufficed; I...

My friend is interested in doing a BMW case-mod for his system, and would like some input. I figured this would be the place to get some feedback from people that may know how to progress in this project, or have already completed/begun working on/brainstormed something like this already. Since...

I'm currently in the market for a new notebook, and would like some suggestions. Usage: 1.) No gaming; I have the desktop in my sig that takes that stead. 2.) Office 3.) Internet 4.) Music, occasionally 5.) Occasional movie on plane rides I'd like something with a rather sleek look...

So, I've decided I may upgrade to another GTX 280 with the system in my sig and wanted to see some thoughts. I've heard that nearly all SLI configs suffer from a microstutter problem. Is this present also with SLI'd GTX 280's, or is this more of a rarity than I've been led to believe? Also...

I came across this earlier today, thought it was interesting, and so decided to share (though I'm sure many of you may have already come across the site, too) http://www.mojaveexperiment.com "What do people think of Windows Vista when they don't know it's Windows Vista? We disguised...

So, after having the rig in my sig for a month, I really thought I was taking advantage of my Prelude (the best that I could with my Logi5500's, that is). However, after installing the recently released drivers from Auzentech - WOW. After enabling the Dolby Digital Live encoder within the...

I've recently downloaded this new beta set, but can't really see the upgrade to having the clocks at full speed, even when I'm not gaming. Wasn't that a benefit, in that the card would run at a lower temperature when not utilized? Why was this changed in the 177.79 drivers? For those that...

Upon getting my new box (including my Auzentech Prelude), I've been craving high quality sound. While the system I currently have, the overly popular Logitech 5500's, are good for all around gaming and movie watching, I've decided I want to take this to a new level. I'm not opposed to buying...

With my recent order of a 280, and my computer shipping in soon, I'm a bit anxious to see if my cpu will prove to be a bottleneck for this beast. CPU: Q9450@ 2.66Ghz...probably going to OC to about 3.0Ghz. For a 280, assuming there's nothing else holding me down, do you think a [email protected]...

EVGA introduces inDtube: "A compact USB 2.0 Hybrid TV Tuner capable of decoding both NTSC and the newer ATSC signals as well as over-the-air Hi-Definition Television up to 1080i. Designed to be easily taken with you on vacation, business trips, or for use in your own backyard with a notebook...

buy an already built computer, who would you choose and why? I know that building your own can ultimately be the most cost effective, but this isn't the route I want to take right now (though I do enjoy building!). In no way will I want to buy from boutique stores - rather I would want...

OMGZ!!!%^&&#~ Here's yet another build. I plan to pwn n00bs with this build, and maybe learn a thing or two about building PCs in the process. Here it goes... Case: COOLER MASTER COSMOS 1000 (I love the looks, and love the room. I also love the HD trays)...

I tried to search this, but didn't see much concerning it. ESA cases: I'm aware of what they are, but can anyone comment on their usefulness? I've read much about ESA and it seems like much of what it monitors can be done with other programs. Is there a benefit to actually having an ESA...

So, after much research over the past couple months, I'm definitely set on getting a NEC. They really seem to be top of the line, and that's exactly what I'm looking for. However, just like with all monitors, regardless of specs, I like to actually SEE what I'm buying. My question is: Where can...

I'm looking for the best sound card money can buy within a ~150-200 price range. I've heard that the Auzentech X-Fi Prelude is pretty good, but have also heard good things about the Xtreme Gamer. If you had 200 dollars to spend on a sound card, which would you buy, and why? PS: My speakers...

Just a quick question as I've seen mixed reviews from many different sites and wanted to see [H]'s pov. Is the Fatal1ty version of the X-Fi series really any better than the regular Xtreme Gamer? Or am I really just paying for the name? Thanks, Z

Just wanted to ask a quick question: I've had the Logitech Z-5500's for a little under a year now and have enjoyed them incredibly. Amazing sound for the money. The thing is, I've only used the 6 channel direct (3 lines) and was wondering if it's worth it to buy an optical cable to use the...

I'll get right to the point: What's so good about Lian Li cases? Through my research it seems these cases are very highly recommended, yet when I actually see pictures of said cases they look rather boring and unappealing. Is it the engineering (perhaps the raw materials, design I'm not...
