    You have KILLED PC Gaming

    Well here is my opinion, I have not bought a console since Atari days but I will be buying the PS3 when it comes out and if it has all the features they described. Why? First of all, PS3 will make a big leap toward converting many pc gamers to console. PS1 and PS2 never addressed the needs...

    Just couple of things, use teflon tape when installing fittings, plan out carefully where everything will be going, cut tubing longer than you think you need just in case, and dry fit everything. Once all tubing are cut, run the whole loop out of you computer and check for leaks. Best way to...

    IEEE 1394 on Mobo vs. PCI card

    I think ribben makes way too much money and she has way too much free time. I'm very envious.

    Yes I would say that you can connect the VG to any one of the 3 ground pins and connect the VP to either of the 2 12v power pins.

    printer problems, could use some assistance...

    Well there is certain steps you can take narrow down your problems. 1= cable bad? 2= printer bad? 3=lpt port bad? We can probably rule out the cable since you say that the port itself don't show up in the device manager. Also lets rule out the printer since you said that you ran a self...

    ASUS V9999GT 256

    Just hook up everything and see if it runs stable, if it does that, try some overclocking just the CPU, if it does that, keep the power supply. Only change it if you run into problems.

    Water Wetter and Tygon tubing

    Yeh I am glad I went with Primoflex, UV reactive green. $1 a foot. This tubing is really easy to work with and bend really tight without kinking. Also, once you install it on a barb, it is really hard to remove because is grips so well. I used all colered zip ties with my rig, no need for steel...
