i guess i wont get it after all since it doesnt sound like it would be much of an improvement to what i have now. thanks to everyone who responded.

Thanks for the response. Knowing that now, do you think a soundbar would sound better than my current speakers. I had purchased a Sony STR DE635 years ago which came with 4 small satellite speakers (i dont think there is a model # on them), a center channel and subwoofer. I never thought the...

I recently spotted a vizio vsb200 on sale and was hoping that someone would know if I could hook this up to my PC instead of my hdtv. I want to use it to watch movies or shows I have on the PC more than to watch broadcasts on the HDTV itself. I currently have the spdif cable running to my...

Yes, I've tried hooking it up to other machines ... no luck.

Thank you for the advice ... and sorry I didnt mention that I was trying more to salvage the data than the actual drive itself ... but I think trying to update the firmware may be my only hope here.

My SSD drive just died with zero warning. Is there anything I can do ? So my laptop doesnt recognize a HD in it when i have it in, so I took it out and attached it as a slave drive to machine. It does recognize a drive and shows the drive size and free space but when I go to access it, it...

Thanks again H00fan 1

Thanks H00fan 1 Sorry for the noob questions since I really do not know much at all about PSU's and their specs but so the LS would be better if I had alot more attached devices and/or I did heavy gaming for long periods of time ? Or why would I want/need the LS other than the total W's...

Was trying to get a new PSU and saw that newegg has the LS-550 for $79.99 w/ $20 rebate dropping it to $59.99 or they have the GS-550 for $59.99 no rebate. Is there a big difference in the two that I need to consider to go thru the hassle of rebate for the LS (I know it got a good review here...

Thanks for the info wanderer27. So it was a problem with the 9600's then, so I should have returned it when I first got it then? I am going to refuse my order for the psu then. I'd hate to spend the $ and find out its not the psu, am on a budget at the moment like most ppl and since I dont...

Thanks for the advice everyone. I think I will get the Rosewill 550W and hopefully that'll do the trick.

Thanks for the advice. I was thinking it was something like that and was also thinking about going for a higher PSU instead of the 400 like you said. Maybe I will wait until a good 500W PSU goes on sale then instead of getting this 400W PSU. I dont play games that much anyway so I can wait...

On some games, but not all I lose video after about 5-10 minutes and I basically have to reboot (hold power button to shut it down and reboot). The computer is still running, lights are on, fans still running, but monitor says 'no signal'. This happens when I play Crysis and also Prince of...

Thanks again SerpentRoyal! i really appreciate your help.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll take a look at those other boards. Any recommendations on cheap cooling? I also want to keep the machine fairly quiet too, anything cheap and quiet too? That brings me to another question about building a pc, generally why is it that most pc's i've put...
