I'm building a new gaming rig and I thought everything was all set but turns out my Corsair case does not accommodate a water cooler. I'm looking for a good mid size or full size ATX case with room at the top to fit a 280 mm radiator. Using a Corsair H100i GTX water cooler.
(by the way, I'm...
I use a mixture of Seagates & WD at home. Never had an issue except for 2 somewhat "older" WD drives. Too many read/write errors. If I was to buy a WD now, I wouldnt' consider anything but their black series. The blue series is... well... not any better than the mass of products out there...
Oh I see. Just because I prefer brand name A bersus B means I'm "behind the times". LMAO. It's not because I said something like Oh I dunno... I like USB 1.0 versus 3.0. Good point man! I'll be sure to agree with every brand name YOU like and then I'll be with da times. What a neat idea...
There is always the brand name A is > brand name B arguments.
I disagree completely with your remark saying Samsung has a been a "leader" - Both WD & Seagate have been around much longer when it comes to hard drive manufacturing.
Just for what purpose did you quote my post when you made those remarks? I already told the OP that a $500 budget is not realistic with what he's asking for. Sounds like you're just quoting for the sole purpose of being a troll.
I don't like your attitude; it's completely ridiculous for a...
That could be right. the way I read his post, he made a comment saying "I've been chugging along...." so I figured he wanted the 16 GB right away. At any rate, 16 GB with the $500 buget is not very realistic. And tinpanalley, 16 GB will probably NOT EVEN BE NECESSARY - given that a new system...
mvbighead & I cross posted.
Having read his list of parts, there are a couple of minor things that i would change.
First of all, there is nothing about Biostar motherboards that I like. I have seen one too many those piece of crap motherboards go out after a mere 2 years of service. However...
Welcome Tinpanalley,
Just a couple of quick comments off the top of my head. First of all, I think it's a good idea to salvage some of those components you've listed for the new build. However, you've listed above DDR2 memory. If you're looking to build a new system using recent component...
Very excessive.
Back when i was using XP, I used to reimage back to a baseline install once every 18 months or so. I've only been using Windows 7 for a year - thus far, registry rot seems to be much less minor issue. Based on my experience thus far, I suspect I will not have to reload windows...
No, I think you should dismantle it and spend a goodly portion of your day trying to "fix it".
C'mon dude - what did you think we were going to say? A new DVD burner can be had for as little as $18-$22. Did you really think it was feasible or worth your time to "fix" that buggy drive?
What are the system specs for that laptop?
Saying is Windows 7 is just a "service pack" for vista is wrong. Just wrong. Win 7 performs faster and boot time has also reduced. There's a lot of changes made 'under the hood' and you can Google til you eyeballs fall out on various articles...
That just silly on Intel's part to offer a new CPU within their lineup that is within a 10% differential than the core i3. Seriously what's the point?
If they're going to offer a CPU that's so similar the i3, they had better drop the prices on it -- enough so that buying it over a similarly...
Checkboxes on WHAT? Are you talking about checkboxes on websites? I don't know of any software for Windows apps. However if you're using a browser such as Firefox, there might be an add-on available. Check on Mozilla's website.
And I think we are "saying" to you, that the skin in question is NOT appropriate or ill designed for a desktop model. Fine for a mobile device maybe but just porting over the skin for desktop use is not appropriate because the interface (in this case the keyboard & monitor) are DIFFERENT. In...
