    Future PC Parts

    There's a 320gig WD SATA hd in the Hot Deals forum for $115 AR. Why not get twice as much space for the same money?

    Why did I lose my files?

    I have never had HD issues before this one so I'm if it was overheating. Maybe the movement of such large amount of files was taxing the drive and did make it overheat. I just hope the problem doesn't reproduce itself after I put my files back on that I copied onto DVD...thank god! I used...

    Why did I lose my files?

    Maybe I wasn't too clear in what I wrote. I have two internal HD's. 1. 80GB with my OS and programs installed 2. 120GB with backup files, music, and movies. I purchased the 200GB drive (which I placed in an external enclosure) to store the movies only. I was in the process of moving my...

    Why did I lose my files?

    This weekend, I bought a new 200GB hard drive that I put in an external enclosure. For a while, I was moving files from my slave 120Gb hard drive (where my music, backup files, and movies are located) to the new 200GB. I restarted my computer, not provoked by any computer issues. After it...

    TiVo $150 MIR Newegg price $89.99 before rebate

    Jassi, basically, the rebate and 1 year service is a wash. You just pay the price for the cost of equipment.

    Board and system opinion

    That was some great reading. So the gist of it is the Abit IS-7 is the value pick, the ASUS P4P800 is the mid-level pick and the a sleeper because of lack of availability is the Epox -4PCA3+? Sounds about right? Which RAM for which boards if anyone has a good idea? Thanks again for all the...

    Board and system opinion

    If you think the 875p boards are the way to go, which of the ones I originally listed would you suggest? Also, what board and RAM combination would you suggest? EJ

    Board and system opinion

    So is getting the 865PE chipset over the 875 the prevailing majority here? Or just what you feel is best according to what I said? Most of the responses of the sticky threads are on the 875 boards. Any thoughts? EJ

    Board and system opinion

    I was looking to go the 875 way instead of the 865. What is the disadvantage of going with a 865 over the 875 chips?

    Board and system opinion

    I will be an OC novice. And I would like an opinion on what some of my choices are for an 875p system. What choices for MB in the sub $135.00 range? All of these i chose from newegg based on # sold for Abit and the ratings on the other 2 since they dont have as much sold. Any preferences on...

    Why is this happening?

    Well...here's the situation. I recently upgraded my sound card to the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz. Now...since I made the change two odd things happen: 1. The computer, after running for a while will randomly shut down and restart. 2. Sometimes when the computer starts up it does not recognize...
