I'm looking for a budget sound card for my new Logitech Z-2300 since I was recommended to not go with an old Live! card in my other thread. I took a look at the Creative Labs eBay Store and found a couple refurbished cards for a great price. There is a ten dollar difference between the Audigy 2...
I got in on the Logitech Z-2300 deal from Amazon, which are actually on the truck, and should arrive any-minute today (despite Amazon's tracking saying to expect it from the 15th to the 18th). I'm currently using the C-Media on-board sound on my MSI mobo. I have a friend who offered me he old...
Now, yesterday, for my 18th birthday, besides the tons of cash I received which I will ultimately spend in Puerto Penasco, Mexico next week, I also received two Seagate 160GB NCQ SATA drives. Now, I do a lot of video editing... as I have an analog TV tuner and HDTV tuner. But, I also do a lot of...
I just got a Samsung 710n for Christmas, and am enjoying the hell out of it. It is a beautiful monitor and came with just one dead pixel, which isn't really bothering me much at all. I'm running it at its native 1280x1024 resolution and am wondering what refresh rate I should set it at? The...
My current beige GEM 17" CRT is about to die any minute now. CompUSA has the Viewsonic A71F+ for $69.99 after $60 Mail-In Rebate. Does anybody have any experience with this monitor? I am planning to run it at 1280x960 aor 1280x1024 and want to know if it'll be fine for me?

Not even Apple can justify spending $30 for six socks... I can buy six pairs for $5 at JCPenny's!
It just doesn't do anything for me, I'll just continue to use my awesome $25 DC/Incase case.
I had won a Copper Heat Sink from eVGA a few days ago. Sent them my information, and UPS decided to surprise me at around 7:00. In the package was a box including the very beautiful and heavy copper heatsink, a congratulation letter from eVGA, instructions for installation, and a thermal paste...

That's a pretty good bargain right there, don't you think?
I need a bootable version of DOS which can read and write to my NTFS partition and use MS-DOS commands. I want to flash the BIOS on my 6800GT but I do not have a floppy. Am I all out of luck here?
I am going to be diving in to replace my current case/cooling setup. I will be purchasing a Lian-Li PC-65 to replace my Antec PlusView1000AMG. I have been looking at different 80mm fan options and I don't want to reuse my Cooler Master Blue LED Fans in my new case. I have almost decided on the...
Can anybody suggest a really good northbridge heatsink for P4? The crappy heatsink on my MSI 865PE Neo2-S has got to be the reason for my crappy temps. I've been looking around, but I really can't find anything that'll use the dumb P4 style mounting. Ever since I took off that paper crap from...

I am deathly sick of my Antec PlusView1000AMG and I will be starting a huge project which I am currently brainstorming. Does anybody have any paint ideas for this case? I have no idea weather to use Krylon Fusion, Dupli-Color, or any other kind of paint. If anybody has any suggestions for the...
I am looking to trade my Intel Pentium 4 2.40C, MSI 865PE Neo2-S, and Zalman CNPS-7000AlCu.
The processor currently runs at 3.3GHz with little added voltage, stable, and cooled by this Zalman fan. With proper cooling (water) and voltage (1.7), it will run at 3.6GHz. I am particularly looking...

Has anybody else notices how Newegg is totally dead. Nobody is able to check-out at the store since about yesterday morning. This comes at a crucial time, when I was supposed to order my brother's computer for his Middle School Graduation tomorrow. It's definately too late now, and he'll end up...
The 4GB Hitachi MicroDrive (a CompactFlash II form factor hard disk drive compatible with all CF II devices) usually retails for $499 with a PC Card Adapter. Well, Creative Labs released the Nomad Muvo2 4GB for $199. It turns out you can take apart the MP3 player, take out the 4GB Hitachi...
I have an Antec PlusView1000AMG with 5 Cooler Master fans. My current layout consists of two blowing air in from the front, one blowing in from the side, two blowing out from the back, and the Vantec Ion also blowing air out. I'll put my hand in the back, and the air doesn't even feel warm, and...
I have a 2.40C running at 3.3GHz at 1.575v. CPU-Z displays it as 1.536v. I want to get this thing up to 3.6GHz but my 865PE Neo2-S doesn't have the option of 1.65v, just 1.6v and 1.7v, etc. I was wondering whether 1.7v would be ok, or should I just forget about it?
My dad is a manager of an apartment building, and we have this room on the garage level which can not be used as a real apartment because there are only so many escape routes (2 or something, no windows) and we use it for storage. Right now, we have a crap load of old computers in there ranging...

I got rid of Suse; I didn't enjoy it too much. I've installed Mandrake 9.2, and I'm currently setting up the monitor and video card. The driver for my Radeon 9800 Pro is set as Radeon (fglrx) and the monitor (a GEM beige CRT) is set as Generic 1024x768 @ 70Hz. When I go to test it I get "An...

I have to build my cousin a super budget computer to give to him on his birthday, and I am wondering whether I should get a GeForce4 MX 440 (275 Core/512 Mem) or a GeForce FX 5200? This will be on a 1.6GHz Duron machine. Or what about the MX4000?
Fry's Electronics currently has the Hitachi Deskstar 160GB 8MB Cache available for $138.99 - $60 mail-in-rebate. It comes to a sweet $78.99 plus tax. That's less than fifty cents per GB. I traded my dad my 80G 8MB Western Digital drive, and my old GeForce4 Ti 4200 64MB for it. I say I got a...
I finally got up the balls to attempt to overclock my Pentium 4 2.4C up to 3.6GHz. Regularly, it is at 3.0GHz (1.5375 vcore) and I wanted to juice it up. I'm using DDR400 so I switched from a 5:4 ratio to a 3:2 ratio. I threw up the vcore to 1.6 and noticed it fail Prime95 stress test before the...
