I got an old PC from work that I want to use as a file server and I just noticed it has 2 sata ports labeled sata1 & sata2. I cant find settings for them in bios however and the PC wont detect a drive connected to either of them. I have been all over google but cant find anything about it...

I'm in search of an 8GB flash drive and would like to get whatever the fastest available is but I find that all the sites and reviews I look at say each individual drive is typically slow. So does anyone know of a really fast one? by fast I mean read/write speed of course. I'd really like...

Does anyone know of some good software that would help me manage my music files? I have a lot of misc stuff in different places on my music drive and the thought of doing it all by hand doesnt fill my with joy lol. Not sure anything even exists for what I am looking to do but figured I'd ask...

I really like the look and design of this case so far but I have never seen on in person and certainly don't know anyone that has one so I am unsure of a few things. What kind of PSU's will fit? Whats about the best 775 board that will fit this thing? What kind of video cards and sizes just...

Upgrading desktop soon and settled on most parts but one of which I am a little unsure about is the proc though I have narrowed it down to two selections. The E6850 and the Q6600 I basically use my PC to do it all. Fun, games, media encoding, ect.... but I dont really do it all at the same...

I am looking into getting a desktop replacement. I know what I want to do but still not sure what hardware to go with. I really like the clevo's and more importantly the 2 models mentioned in the subject. My question is what would the performance differences be? Assuming I only use a SINGLE...

Looking at a C90S and on the BTOtech site it says something about a standard glossy screen. I hear from many, especially online that these glossy screens are super reflective and many dont like them. Well I dont spot the C90S as having a matte option so I am wondering about how glossy will...

Is it just the unlocked multi? What are the differences between the denmark core and toledo? They seem awfully similar to me but just wanted to find out for sure. I might make a purchase in the next month or so and would like to know what I would be getting/losing for the $30 or so...

Anyone have any info on this online store? **link removed** They seem to have prices too good to be true but I cant seem to locate any info as to whether they are selling used, new, or refurb stuff. Though the minimum order amount of $750 does seem a bit odd. anyways if it is a legit...

They seem to be all over europe and canada but I havent seen a mention of them from WD or seen a US store carry them yet. I did a search but didnt really find any other threads with much info past "I know one exists". Anyone hear anything recently?

when I go to OC my a8n premium I have to manually set the cpu multiplier otherwise it sets itself to like 8 or 9(3700+, should be 11) when I change the htt setting. It seems that depending on what order I change the options in the "jumper free" settings and "ddr settings" it will reset the other...

My second pair of crucial ballistix pc4000 memory sticks have just crapped out on me since october of last year. Am I just really unlucky or is there an issue with these things? I have excellent air flow in my case and a fan almost directly blowing air on the dimms, I dont "think" heat is the...

I havent had time to run any real tests or tinker with it too much yet but here is whats happened so far. For some reason instant messenger just wouldnt startup when I went to run it, odd. Then shortly there after whenever I would try to reset the machine without fully powering it down it...

I'm going to be moving soon and space will be an issue at my new place so I would like to invest in setting up my PC to be able to watch television on my dell 2405. I know I've seen tuner cards that will due but I dont really have the room in my case to add one and all the hardware in there now...

I'm looking to pickup a compact 5-7 megapixel camera for mostly point and shoot stuff and possibly more should I like taking pictures. I've basically narrowed it down to the casio Z750 and the cannon SD500. Anyone have any insight to share with me on these? Been looking all over the net and...

I've been using shareaza for quite a while now and have noticed lately that I am having a lot of trouble finding certain types of music. I was just wondering what some of the better p2p programs are now especially for music? I am kind of a noob to bit torrent but I get how the tech works and...

Used only for one bootup then decided to use different board that doesnt support the voltages these need. They are still under warranty and I have the purchasing info to RMA should anything ever go wrong. Paid $200 looking for $150 + small shipping fee depending on location. Here is a link...

I need a storage drive mostly for media files but some installers and other junk. Now for storage I dont really think I need 3g serial ata/16mb cache but I would like to stick with serial ata so would I really see much difference in 1.5g/8mb cache? Basically looking for large and most bang...

been a looooooooooooong time since I've bought a drive especially for just general media storage(using 40gig baracuda...) but space is drying up fast. I plan on getting one of the new raptors once they are released for my OS and games and what have you(who doesnt?) and for now just want a...

I retired from the game prior to summer but am feeling the itch to play again but would rather start fresh on a new realm(did it on gurubashi and found it to be pretty fun) then join an already congested one. So does anyone know if they plan to release a couple new ones soon? I'd ask on the bliz...

I really want to ditch my 36GB raptors in raid for a single 74 but I've heard people speak of WD releasing a new raptor drive this year so I am unsure of the purchase. Is there anything other than speculation on this? If not I may just get the 74...

I've been wrestling with my a8n premium for a few hours now and everytime I do the windows install on a SATA drive whether its 2 of them in raid0 OR a single drive connected solo once windows gets through the initial install and I reset I can never again get the drive to boot. I get "boot disk...

I have a set of ballistix pc4000 that was in a dfi lanparty ulta D(modded to sli) that stopped working. This wasnt the first set of memory that this has happened to and I suspect the board may be to blame. For the sake of testing I rigged up an old intel board(865p I think) and began running...

My modded dfi ultra D doesnt fit my 2 video cards with aftermarket coolers really at all and I suspect its having some sort of power issue with the memory cause its killed 4 sticks of memory on me(2 different kits, mushkin and crucial) so after this latest BBQ I'm gonna rma my memory(again) and...

I noticed asus has one listed on thier site but from the looks of it aftermarket video cooler + soundcard = issues. Or maybe I just didnt understand the layout correctly...

I currently have a dfi ultra D I modded to sli and without even thinking just tossed 2 arctic silencers on my video cards. It does not appear like they are going to fit and IF I do manage to jam them in there its gonna be uncomfortably tight. Anyone know of a good SLI board with more space...

I'd like to replace the drive cage fan on my stacker case but am not 100% sure of the best way to do this. Anyone done it and have some tips?

I just got my arctic silencers from zipzoomfly and I ordered rev3 and recieved rev2 with a sticker on it that says rev 3, now the original packaging says rev2 and doesnt list 7800 on it(which is what I have). I just wanted to confirm that these come this way for rev3 before I use the jaws of...

I have the original CM stacker(OG) and was wondering if its possible to fit the intake and exhaust with 120mmX38mm fans rather then the x25mm they have on now, also how much of a job is it, and has anyone else done it? I only ask cause I am having a hard time deciding on fan replacements for...

I'm gonna mod my dfi ultra D to sli really soon and was wondering if I'd be ok using my powerstream 520 in that config? I know its not "sli certified" officially but does anyone have any experience with using it anyways?
