My X-fi platinum with the break-out box allows me to do this. I can have both speakers and headphones plugged in a the same time. Theres also a setting where it lets you mute the speakers when the break-out box detects a headphone plugged in. You could also change the levels for the...

So i have this tempurpedic pillow and these things are like sponges. After a year of use, my pillow is a lot heavier than i first received it. Does anyone know a way to clean this material without ruining? I've been doing all kinds of searches and can't find much on it. Thanks!

Wow just saw the latest episode. This show rocks! Definitely my top 3 tv shows :)

So, basically your setup will be mostly for music? If so, 2 bookshelves will go a LONG way and its so much more worth it in the end. I was in your shoes about 2-3 years ago asking the same questions and of course, YoYo was there to help me out. :) I spent so much money on computer speakers...

From personal experience, most E6600s will go 3.6ghz and if you're lucky enough to get a good batch you could go higher. Just don't expect 4ghz with air cooling! I've built 5 E6600 machines and all of them did 3.5-3.6ghz but no more.

^^what he said. I use a thermalright HR-05 aftermarket NB heatsink. Works great without a fan.

I'm using 2 IDE optical drives in my DS3 and haven't had any problems whatsoever. I can't say the same for IDE HDs though.

From what i remember reading, isn't the SD1000 a lesser model than say the SD600-SD800? I personally own the SD600 and find it a fantastic performer for the price. I paid $155 for it during one of those crazy dell deals.

Try changing the double-click speed in your mouse settings. If that doesn't work, install a difference version of the setpoint software. And if all else fails, call a priest. :)

The first computer i built was a 1ghz AMD Thunderbird. I was installing an alpha copper heatsink and for some odd reason decided to plug in the power cord before i started installing the block. Well, right when i plugged in the power cable, the system turns on out of nowhere! I didn't know...

I just use warm water to clean my LCD. Easy and safe!

I've never heard of superfetch before this thread but sounds like a logical step up for Vista since it requires a minimum 1GB. So 4GB is worth the extra cost is what i'm getting from this thread?

Go with the FSP. I've built countless machines for friends with that same PSU and never had any problems. Quiet and reliable sums it up.

the HD555/595 are open so scratch those. AT900 can be driven ampless very easily. Another closed headphone would be the Beyerdynamics DT770. Although, the DT770 would need an amp at higher volumes but with my X-fi, it got pretty good volume ampless.

Stock CAS readings does not mean that the memory will be worse. What really matters are the ICs on them. D9GMH are widely known to be highly overclockable with the right voltage and timing. I have some Crucial 10th Anniversary D9GMH sticks and i'm sure they overclock the same as any other...
