    Tell us your purchase, HD 6900s.

    I'll be getting an ASUS EAH6950 when they're available. Going to replace my EVGA GTX470 SC+. I know it isn't very much of a performance gain, but I currently have an issue with my GTX470 artifacting when starting Windows or at the Windows logon screen. It doesn't happen every boot. I only...

    CyberPower UPS

    Got my APC SURTA1500XL today. This thing is a beast. Windows reported 47 minutes of battery life remaining while idle at the desktop with an 87% charge. There is a slight hum or buzzing type sound coming from the unit, but it's under my desk and I can barely make it out over my computer...

    CyberPower UPS

    I know it's overkill, but I picked up a new APC SURTA1500XL for a really good price. $430.33 shipped, the next cheapest was $790 shipped. It's never been used, but has been tested to fully charge and guaranteed to not be DOA. I wasn't looking to spend much more than $300, but I couldn't pass up...

    CyberPower UPS

    It's missing two out of eight screws on the battery cover. An online UPS would be nice to have though. I've had bad luck with hardware recently. The PSU on my desktop PC died the end of May. At the end of June both the video card and motherboard died on the same PC. Recently I had issues with...

    CyberPower UPS

    Okay, thanks for the information. I'll likely pick up one of those units within the next couple of weeks. Just one final question, is it okay to use an AC Y-Splitter cable to add an extra outlet? I'm asking because I found a TrippLite SU1500XL, which is a dual conversion UPS, for $268...

    CyberPower UPS

    I also found an APC SUA1500X413 open box for a little more, $254.70 shipped, that supposedly carries a "Full manufacturer warranty". I checked into it and it's actually only a 1 year warranty. They had the SUA1000US model as well. That was also open box, but it was $261.81 shipped. Is there...

    GTX 570 release date decemeber 7 Rumour

    Ick, if the product information on that Plait GTX 570 is correct then I'll have to remove the hard drive bay from my case, or buy a new case, to install it. I have a 5 year & 3 month old ThermalTake Tsunami case. I currently have three hard drives. Without the hard drive bay in I lose 5 slots...

    COD: Black Ops Terrible PC Performance

    The only issue I've been having with Black Ops multiplayer is that my game will freeze for about 10-15 seconds every once in a while. I almost always get killed when this happens. I did edit my config_mp and lower a few graphical settings in-game, but it still locks up. I'm not sure if this...

    Removed imported_ prefix from name?

    Is it possible I could have this imported_ prefix removed from my name? It's been like that for a while, but I could never find a way to change it or anything. It's not too big of a deal, but sometimes it's hard to remember to have to add it when logging in.

    CyberPower UPS

    OfficeDepot had the APC BX1500G for $99.99 which is what got me looking for a UPS in the first place. I noticed it didn't have EMI/RFI noise reduction, but it does have AVR. I'm not whether that would matter, but I have the older Z-5500 revision that makes a popping sound when lights on the same...

    CyberPower UPS

    I only need a couple of minutes. Just enough time to shut the machine down. I'll probably be building a new system in the later part of 2011. I figure the most I'll have in it is two GTX580s or the equivalent Kepler part of that and a 4 or 6 core processor. It depends on the whether Intel has...

    CyberPower UPS

    That's not the same version. The version that ends with PFCLCD is the one that is supposed to be active PFC compatible.

    CyberPower UPS

    I'm thinking about getting a CyberPower UPS for my system. I need one that will work with an active PFC power supply. Right now I have a 700w OCZ StealthXStream PSU, but next year I will probably be building a new system. I was considering this CyberPower 1500VA/900W UPS...

    abit IP35 Pro replacement (and weird problem)

    I was able to just barely get it to squeeze in, it ran for almost 10 minutes before artifacting and freezing. I was in the process of downloading 3DMark05 so I wasn't even doing anything graphics intensive. Looks like I'll have to RMA the video card and buy a new motherboard. I tested my X-Fi in...
