Well I took the plunge and built one of these things over the weekend. It's been long overdue, but after I lost a drive with a lot of my collection on it about 6 months ago, I had no real ambition to finish this until now.
Here it goes...
HTPC:
Thermaltake Bach Media Lab case
ASUS...
Hey guys... I'm back.. again... I finished GT5 Prologue and really I'd like to use the cash instead of letting my 40GB PS3 remain a paper weight until next year when the real GT5 comes out.. so I am parting with it.
I purchased this as a GameStop refurb unit. Obviously it has no issues, runs...
Hey guys and gals. I have an Xbox 360 Elite for sale. I've recently picked up a PS3 and I have 2 of these badboys and I'm keeping one of them.
This one is about one year and one week old. I purchased it April 29th, 2007 when the Elites came out. It has NOT had the RROD, and has not been...
Hey guys. I'm looking to unload one of my three 360's. I bought this 360 on March 3rd of this year, and I hooked it up and updated the console firmware to the latest version but have never actually played a game in it yet. It has been turned on for maybe a total of 10 minutes since I've had...

Best Buy is selling the Raptor X 150GB SATA drives in retail form, 5 year warranty, for $159.99 with no rebates. Just a heads up, I snagged a couple.
Newegg sells this drive in OEM form for $180...
I have for sale a 5 month-old Onkyo TX-SR 304-S 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround sound home theater receiver. This receiver is silver in color, has absolutely no visual or mechanical defects and will come in the original box, with original remote and original paperwork.
Specs are as...
I have for sale a Philips model HTS3450 Home theater in a box. Total power output is 1000w and it has a built-in progressive scan DVD player. The unit also features a USB port so you can hook up your mp3 player. It also has auxiliary input for your computer or other devices to hook up to it...
I have for sale a 52" RCA HDTV with built-in digital tuner. It was purchased in March of 2006. It will support the following resolutions.
480i, 480p, 1080i
This is a rear-projection tv, so it is larger than your LCDs and Plasmas.
Inputs/Outputs are as follows:
Front-
S-Video in...
I'm looking to purchase a 512mb 7800GTX, and I'd really like to stick with an EVGA model. Let me know what you have, I am looking to spend around $260-270. I will not have the cash until Friday of this coming week, but I am a reliable buyer/seller and will purchase if someone has what I want...
I've got an EVGA 7800GTX 256MB for sale. I used it for a couple months, but I recently purchased a 22" LCD and I like the higher res with all the eye candy and so I've decided I wanna spend a bit more and upgrade. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this card at all. It has the stock...
I had an AM2 3500+ that I replaced with an X2 3800+ today. My 3500+ would NOT come out of the socket by hand. I literally had to use force and pry it out with a pair of pliers, thus damaging the chip/wafer around the edges. There was nothing else I could do, I messed with it for over an hour...
I have a less-than-two-months-old socket AM2 A64 3500+ Orleans for sale. I recently purchased a Windsor so this one has to go as I have nothing to put it in. Newegg sells 'em for $91. I'll do $70 shipped. I prefer paypal (CC or non-CC, doesn't matter as they'll ding me anyway) as method of...
...until I got my new Raptor 74GB!
I can't believe how much of a performance jump it is over the regular WD SATA drives. From the time I push the power button on my PC to the time I am in Windows is about 20 seconds, and EVERYTHING is faster.
BF2 loads and verifies client data...
Yeah... I was at Circuit City tooling around and I noticed the G5 was on sale and I wanted to upgrade from optical to laser... it was $59 which I realize is more expensive than the egg or the likes, but I don't wanna wait. What I also had was a $15 off $100 or more coupon.. so I headed over to...
Just wondering what are you temps on your AM2 machines. My 939 3200+ venice would idle about 29C and get up to about 46C when gaming.
This new AM2 3500+ Orleans runs around 20C in Windows and only 34C when gaming.
Is it just me or do these new chips run really cool?
Ok, I built a new system this weekend.. specs are in my sig. I have all of the latest drivers for all of my hardware, Windows runs fine, I can run BF2 and hop onto servers if I find them in the list. However, whenever I get an IP from a friend to join the server, BF2 will either crash to...
Well I picked this game up after work today, and although it is totally different from the demo (in a good way... challenging, HARD on the harder difficulty), I absolutely can't get enough of it. There are a few bugs which they're working on a patch for, but overall, I love this game.
The...
Just an FYI, there are 7 free downloadable cars for Burnout:Revenge (confirmed for 360, not sure about Xbox) on the marketplace today.
Xbox Live car
Alienware car
Dolby Car
Monster car
Spike TV car
Plantronics car
Yellowcard car
Just giving you guys a heads up! Gotta love FREE...
I have for sale an AMD A64 3200+ Venice CPU for the Socket 939 platform. I got this about 2 months ago and have been running it since. Runs flawlessly, stays extremely cool. It will come with everything the retail processor would include if you bought it brand new (the box, the processor...
I may be the only one, and this may be a re-post... but it's hilarious. Some guy recording his Xbox Live while playing Rainbow 6 catches a 9 year-old kid arguing with his mom about bedtime and chocolate milk.
Pretty funny stuff, although, if he was my kid, he would be slapped upside the...
and the line for the "second shipment" of Xbox 360's is longer than it was on launch day. It's about 10 degrees outside, windy, wet and just bitter cold and people are lined up camping out like launch day again (good going announcing a second release date Best Buy). So glad I got mine when the...
Hey guys, I just sold off my AGP/Intel rig and bought replacement PCI-E/AMD parts. I have a question about my PSU.
I have an Antec TruePower2.0 430W PSU with the ATX2.0 connector and dual 12v rails with 17a each. Will it be sufficient to power my new rig or should I look at upgrading it...
Ok, I am selling off my entire AGP Intel gaming system and going AMD and PCI-E (finally). I am going to be using a mobo that supports AGP and PCI-E (Asrock 939Dual-SATA2 w/ an AMD A64 3200+), however I don't want to keep my AGP 6600GT. I cannot afford something like a 7800GT right now, I wish...
I am using an eVGA 6600GT AGP. With the 78.11 drivers I was using I had the option of selecting "M/NTSC" or any range of the HDTV resolutions when I went into the nVidia control panel. With the new drivers I do not have any option like that, only M/NTSC and "auto-select" for the video output...
Ok, so I downloaded the Linux server files from EA since I recently switched my old P3 machine over to Linspire. It installed the server files fine, no problems, Punk Buster installed fine as well, but I can't open the file. Am I just retarded? Why can't I figure this out, it asks me if I'm...
Ok, I have for sale a Super Nintendo Entertainment System, complete with 2 SNES controllers, the AC adapter and the RF A/V cord. I do not have any games to use with it, but I can confirm that it does power on and the TV gets the signal (it changes from fuzz to a black screen with no game in the...
I am selling my Sony PS2 since no one ever plays it and I don't want to see it just sit on the shelf. It is the slim model, it only has a handful of hours of play on it. I believe I still have the extended warranty receipt along with original sales receipt with it. It will come in its original...
Ok, so I put my old rig into a new case and use it for a websurfing box, specs are as follows:
Celeron D 315 2.26GHz Skt478
Gigabyte 8VM-533RZ mobo
Antec SP 300W PSU
512MB Viking PC2100
Netgear PCI wireless G card
Now, this setup ran around 32*C at idle in my Antec case, in this case...
So I've been doing some looking and playing with my 6600GT AGP, and I'd really like to know what the temps are on this thing. All of the research I've found leads me to flashing the card's BIOS to enable the temp sensor function in the control panel for this card. Now, how stupid is that? I...
Hey guys, I seem to have a slight issue now that I have onstalled all of my new hardware. I recently upgraded my mobo, RAM, and vid card (processor will be upgraded too, it gets here Wednesday) and am running into some weird things.
First off, I have extremely choppy video, whether it be in...
I'm looking for something with a lifetime warranty. So if it's an eVGA I guess it would have to be pretty new to fall under their lifetime warranty?. But I am looking to spend around $180 shipped. I realize that may be a *tad* low, but I was only going to budget myself around $150 for a...
Ok, so I am piecing together a budget gaming rig. Nothing fancy, and I really don't care to spend $500 on a video card for gaming. Around $150 for a card is my limit and I want something with a lifetime warranty. Anyway, here is what I have picked out.
P4 2.8A 533FSB 1MB L2 (non HT... why...
Well, I am going to try and sell this laptop once more. I have finished my HTPC build and really don't use this thing much anymore, so it would probably be better off in someone else's possession. It is a Gateway 7215GX with the following specs.
15.4" widescreen TFT LCD
AMD Athlon XP-M...
Ok, since the buyer has backed out two times now, which is hardly a good way to earn good feedback, I have this processor for sale again.
Mobile P4, socket 478/9, 1.8GHz, 400FSB, 512KB
I used it for a total of one week, it was new when I bought it. I am looking for $40 shipped.
Heat is...
Ok, so my HTPC that I just built was using a VisionTek ATi Radeon 9250 AGP 128DDR card. It was running everything in windows just fine, Media Center ran great and all was well. The only problem was the memory interface was only 64-bit, which frankly, sucks.
So I returned the card in favor...
I have an ASUS graphics card for sale. It is an ATi Radeon 9250, 128MB DDR AGP card.
It has been used for a week, there are no problems with it whatsoever, I just upgraded. It has TV out (composite video), VGA out, and DVI out. I was able to play BF2 at 1024x768 on lower settings with it...
So I have an ATI 9250 128MB DDR AGP card in my rig, and it has DVI-I output. Coincidentally, my TV has Component input (it's not an HDTV, the HDTV I wanted had DVI input but was not in stock, go figure). I am using a DVI-I dual link to Component video adapter with selectable supported...
I still have this P4M 1.8GHz 512k 400FSB socket 478/479 (fits desktop and laptop boards) processor for sale. It works fine, I only used it for a week. $40 shipped. I can accept all forms of Paypal. Email address is
I'm looking to get rid of this ASAP, I won't be needing it and it would...
Ok, I have a semi weird issue with my sound while gaming, and frankly it's bugging the hell out of me. While I'm in a game (say BF2, especially this one) and there's voice-over going on, the voice-over part is choppy as all hell, all the time, every time. The rest of the sound is flawless...
