Thanks, which company makes the most reliable haddrives, WD? And does it matter what type of HD i get if I currently have SATA on my PC?

I'd also like to know the best backup solution for <$150. Is it better to buy a regular external harddrive, or an internal harddrive and an enclosure? What should I be looking for in an enclosure? Does it need a fan? And what's the best brand to buy that's the most reliable - maxtor, WD...

I have these cans too but ever since I replaced my first pair (the headband cracked - check under the foam cover on yours) they haven't quite sounded the same. For some reason they sound underpowered. Would they sound better coming straight from the sound card or through the volume control of...

help?

Ever since I installed my Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, my windows Audio keeps adjusting itself. I like the volume setting in Windows/TBSC to always be at the max and adjust the volume using my Logitech Volume Ctrl stilling on my desk. But whenever I play BF2/CS:S the volume always gets adjusted...

How do you think it would be using an MS Sidewinder instead of KB&M?

I'm trying to buy a used LCD for my friend, who doesn't want to spend too much. I found a used Eizo L66 (18", .28mm, 250:1 contrast ratio) for $120. I searched high and low for reviews, but being as how this came out when LCD's were first hitting the market (I think retail was like $3500 at...

Could you be a little more specific on how you came about these prices? Thanks!

hmm okay so i take it PC World and PC Magazine arent even worth the $2 subscriptions. Thanks~

How is PC Magazine? Are the reviews on hardware, games etc. unbiased and accurate? What about PC World, which is better? Anyone have any experience w/ Stereo Review's "Sound & Vision" magazine? This all has to do w/ $2 subscriptions here

haha well i dont necessarily use all the programs at once, but they ARe running at the same time. Steam for CS is just a program that shows servers/players/maps etc. and is not the actualy game. But i do often alt-tab out of the game to chat or do other stuff between rounds.

OK thanks. When i hit Ctrl+Alt+Del and check performance it shows PF usage consistently at 1+ gb (I'm assuming this is the virtual memory?) and about 100-200mb of free physical memory, and I already have 1gb installed. I usually have the following running simultaneously: iTunes Winamp MS...

so if you have 2gb of memory should you or should you not turn off virtual memory?

Deal is warm at best. I got the following Dell 8400 for $1750 a few months ago and been extremely happy w/ it since: P4 3.4 ghz 800mhz fsb 1gb PC4200 533mhz 74gb Raptor 160gb Barracuda w/ NCQ Dell 2001fp 20" LCD ATI 256mb X800XT Win XP Pro w/ SP2 Dell POS printer Logitech MX700

My sound setting in Half Life is set at high quality maximum volume. All 4 speakers work fine and i have no problems within COunterstrike itself. It's only the Santa Cruz control panel settings - after i play CS i notice that the volume settings in TBSC is turned all the way down, probably...
