    Problem: SB Audigy 2 ZS PCI

    I have had this SB Audigy for a little over a year now. it is the retail SB Audigy 2 ZS. normal card. As of this week, it began playing audio, then muting, then playing audio, then muting. so it sounds like someone was changing the mute setting every other second. I rebooted...

    Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS problem.

    Last night, I played MOH:AA, no problems. This morning, I come to my computer and when I try to play anything with sound, the audio seems like someone is hitting mute, unmute, mute, unmute the entire time. video is fine. I tried to uninstall old drivers, reinstall current drivers with...

    Will a 9800 Pro save itself if the fan dies?

    I replaced the fan with a better fan i had in house. a vantec I believe. slightly larger, but only 3% more power consumption. its even quieter.

    9800 Pro ---> Buy a New Card or Save?

    I also realize the I own an ATi AIW 9800 Pro. with 128 MB ram, and a 256-Bit interface memory setup. almost every other video card Ive seen short of 7900 and 7950 nvidias show the flaw of smaller memory interface. When will they get it? 256-Bit is a no brainer? for the OP, get a 7900...

    9800 Pro ---> Buy a New Card or Save?

    dont aim for anything less than 7600 GS AGP. anything lower is less performance on the AGP front. and a waste of money. I am in the same ship. I have a 9800 Pro AiW with a 256-Bit interface. and in all seriousness, only a 7600, 7900 or 1600 Pro 256MB is worth the upgrade. my 9800 pro plays...

    Silverstone customer service rules!

    its so damn quiet, I hear the CoolerMaster fans in my Praetorian over the power supply unit. go figure. besides, if they sent you the wrong cables, they should send you the correct ones for free. thats called a company standing by its product.

    Your comment on Antec PS?

    check my previous posts. return it. i paid abit more than you, and i took it back. my expensive scsi U320, sound and other items are worth more than the $60 i COULD save instead of spending $100 or so on a good unit. ALL antec stuff dropped in price. we are sure its because of the...

    Antec PSU related questin: how and why

    Even that review above of the TruePower 550 said it had secondary Fuhjyyu caps. which are known to NOT tolerate heat as well as other caps. Here is my point- I currently have a Generation 1.5 TruePower430 watts ATX. it has never skipped a beat, and to add, its single 12v rail never dips...

    Antec PSU related questin: how and why

    because my operating room is on average 77degrees F. add that two machines on 24/6 ... 6 days a week i mean. and then, add to that the reports of high ambient temps causing capacitor explosions. why would i consciously buy a faulty unit?

    Antec PSU related questin: how and why

    One additional question on the table, I am now looking at the Enermax EG565P, 535 watt version ... it does not show the 20 and 24 pin connections in the manufacturer website. but in the [H] listing, you list it as 20 and 24 pin compatible.

    Building new Rig: ideas, assistance

    yes I have. The only issue i have, it wont hold 4 internal 3.5" HDD. the 120mm in front is nice though. Does anyone has a good site that sells the Cooler Master Praetorian with a clear side window?
