    SATA hard drive not showing in My Computer

    Hey guys, I hoping I can get some help here. I just purchased a 1TB Saturn Hitachi drive to replace my 500GB Hitachi. Both are SATA. I unplugged the old 500GB one and installed the new 1TB drive. I formatted and installed Vista on the 1TB. Then I decided to copy some files from the 500GB...

    You are given 1700.00 dollars to buy a TV...

    I'm a first time projector owner, with a Epson 6100. I set it up last night projecting a 100" screen. All I can say is.....wow.

    Dim the lights and get a projector! :) I picked up the Epson 6100 for $1599, put $10 worth of blackout cloth from Joann's on the wall, and instantly upgraded from a 32" TV to a 100" movie screen. ;)

    Do I go for LCD or Projector?

    I ordered the Epson 6100 from HHGreg today. Yeah, a bit more than my original budget. ;) I will report back when it arrives.

    Do I go for LCD or Projector?

    What do you guys think of this? http://www.visualapex.com/LCDp...t5DmkJgCFRo-awodC2zVng I am looking for a cheap one under $1000 for a bedroom that can just sit on a desk and face the opposite wall. I figure that projector technology is changing so fast, it's better not to invest too much...

    How do I make the Sidebar background transparent in Vista?

    Hey guys, I would like to change the Sidebar background from the default shadow gradient to completely transparent so only the gadgets are visible. Do I need to download a skin program for this? Which is the best one that uses the least resources? Thanks!

    Logitech G25 racing wheel

    Anyone have experience with this wheel? How does it compare to the Driving Force Pro? Is it really worth the extra $150?

    Not very impressive.

    Should I get a 9600GT for $164?

    If you play the latest games, you probably want to get a 8800GT since games are already starting to strain on it.

    TV Tuners

    I've owned the ATI 650 and the DVICO Fusion 5 Gold. The Fusion 5 beats the 650 hands down and then some.

    8600GT, HD3850, or 9600GT?

    Just spend the money on a 8800GT and call it a day. Trust me, if you play any games, you'll need all the horsepower you can get. The cards you listed will get choppy at max detail.

    Why are there no reviews on the 32" NEC ASPV32-AVT?

    That is not a bad thing. I've had my Westinghouse 32w6 since 2006. It's a great TV AND Monitor. It actually sits on my desk and is not too low resolution. Especially not bad for my $850 two years ago when everything was $1000 plus. It's a pleasure to work on and watch HD movies.
