    Building 2 budget gaming rigs

    Would the 4850 need a more powerful PSU? I was looking at the Sonata case myself, I'm using an older one right now and I still love it.

    Professional Sound Card

    Thank you very much guys. I'll have to get an even closer look at the board next sunday. This may be a lot less complicated than I thought it'd be, but honestly I'm a hopeless software guy so these practical things take getting used to. Those Echo products look great but unfortunately the...

    Professional Sound Card

    Thanks for your replies, it's done much to help me prepare! The sound mixer used by the church is an Allen & Heath GL2400 and I've tried to get to know the nitty gritty but there isn't exactly a help site to understand the terminology here. Or my google-fu is weak. Looking around for a pro...

    Professional Sound Card

    Thanks a lot guys, this narrows it down a lot! I do believe the equipment can output multiple channels. I'll need to take a closer look. Any specific recommendations for a mid-level DV camcorder?

    Professional Sound Card

    There's an open-source program called Audacity that I'm trying to get to know. Looks pretty cool actually. M-Audio Revolution or Audiophile 2496, I'll start from there. Eventually they want a website, which I'll be building as well, to put these things in. Any ideas for a camera that can use...

    Professional Sound Card

    Hi guys, I'm in need of a rig to record audio straight to the hard drive of a purpose-built PC. Will probably need to add a decent video card for vid conversions and so on, but for now, just the audio. I'll be taking in the input from a church's audio systems probably the whole 3+ hour...

    New Gaming PC (E6850)

    I'll look deeper into the Q6600 guys, thanks for that head's up. I am looking to keep this for quite a while. For the HD I'm not too keen on Samsung, it's what I have now and I've had some failures. Probably less than others though, and it is fairly quiet. Probably going to go WD. If I go for...

    New Gaming PC (E6850)

    Thanks, I'll look around for a P35. Should've mentioned no overclocking. This is more powerful than what I think I'll need for a while, having some OC'ing ability down the line would be nice but apart from the BFG card which comes pre OC'd I'll stay away from it. As I understand it the...

    New Gaming PC (E6850)

    I will be purchasing these in Canada. No newegg deliveries up here sadly. I have no brand loyalties, I'm in it purely for the efficiency. That said, I do like the Antec P182 case but if there's a cheaper alternative I'll go with it. This system will be for gaming primarily but some...

    CPU Upgrade: Athlon 64 939 3800 Venice or 3700 San Diego?

    Well I kinda built this system to be OC'd somewhere down the line, hence the DFI board. I read several reviews praising this Enermax EG425P-VE so I bought that as well. Runs quiet, which seemed nice for a change. Guess it's time to head to DFI Street and seriously go over the OC details.

    CPU Upgrade: Athlon 64 939 3800 Venice or 3700 San Diego?

    I'm mostly worried about wear and tear on an overclocked system. I'm sure it varies greatly but I can't take the chance just yet. Besides, nothing I'm playing right now is suffering tremendously from not having the extra 200 or so mhz. It is tempting though. The other thing is that I'm...

    Upgrade to AM2 from S939?

    But would an upgrade to an X2 lead to an increase in performance for gaming purposes? 939 to X2 that is.

    CPU Upgrade: Athlon 64 939 3800 Venice or 3700 San Diego?

    It's been a year since I bought my PC and in keeping with my plans to keep it mostly up to date, I've decided to look into the CPU first. I kept that to an Athlon 64 939 3000+ last year. Plus, it was 50 dollars cheaper and on sale. It's primarily a PC gaming system and let me play all those...

    Medium Duty Office Printer

    Hi guys, I'm in need of a new printer and I don't really follow that scene. I need one that can print color, send faxes and scans. Nothing truly high-end, I just need good resolution and fast printouts on the black and whites. Any recommendations? Non-Dell if you please.
