    ACK! I keep getting all these Cyclical data errors on my HD

    Hey All, I keep getting cyclical data errors on the HD for my primary rig. I was hoping after a disk scan it would solve the problem, but no go. Any suggestions? Do I need to reformat or should I send this Western Digital back. It's still under warrenty. Thank you for any and all help.

    Is there a good website/guide for reformatting etc...

    thank you will, those look like very nice boot disks and a fantstic guide!

    Is there a good website/guide for reformatting etc...

    Hey guys, I'm visiting my parents for the holidays and there are a couple computers sitting around that I'd like to format, and then reinstall the OS & Drivers. Is there a good guide out there for going about that? These PC's are rather old and will require a boot disk etc... and I don't know...

    Time to build a new rig, any advice?

    I would find another case by a better company that does not have a PSU in it.

    Build finished... with PICS!

    WOW, where did you buy the parts for that cheap. That is a sweet rig. I guess it is probably difficult to manage the wires in a MiniTower.

    building with a budget

    It sounds like you need the entire package (PC, monitor, and printer). So with that in mind, the Emachines would be nice. However, if you don't need the monitor and printer, you can build your own PC and it will be nicer. I have an emachines and it has been nice, was just what I needed at...

    3700+ 6800GS y otro amigo

    3700+ and 7800GT, that is what I would get. Forget the X2 3800 for now, a 3700 with a 7800GT would blow it away.

    Does the SPARKLE FSP550PLG-SLI Power Supply Support SATA

    Does the SPARKLE FSP550PLG-SLI ATX12V/ EPS12V 500W Power Supply support SATA? I can't tell from the Pic, and there is no information about an SATA Power connector at Newegg. If so, does it have at least 2 SATA power cables? Thanks!

    Quick power question

    The MOBO I'm thinking of getting is the epox-9npa+ultra and there are some 20+4 pin PSU's that I'm looking at.

    Quick power question

    solet me make sure I have this right, if your MOBO has 24 and 4, and your PSU has 20+4, you attach the 20 to the 24, and then the +4 to the 4?

    EPoX "EP-9NPA+Ultra" NVIDIA nForce4 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard

    So how does this MOBO do with X2's? Does it provide the same level of performance that it does for other 939 AMD's?

    SLi from a financial perspective

    Posted this in the wrong forum last night, hopefully this will work. OK, so I've been doing some thinking about this SLi business, and it seems to me that unless Nividia and ATI are going to start making cards in pairs, there is no advantage to SLi from a financial standpoint. Lets...

    Two SLi or not Two SLi, that is the Question ;)

    OK, so I've been doing some thinking about this SLi business, and it seems to me that unless Nividia and ATI are going to start making cards in pairs, there is no advantage to SLi from a financial standpoint. Lets pretned you have a true SLi MOBO that plays both cards at PCIe X16, well you...

    I'm a Noob, Is this rig going to work?

    Money and time. I'm hoping that prices will go down, but I also don't have the time to build right now. This rig is what I hope to build, but I couldn't afford it right now. Thanks for putting SLi in perspective, I was under the assumption that it would probably be something like Dual Core...
