Hi, I'm having a weird underscan issue w/ my new system. Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard Asus x1950 Pro video card (PCI-E) My display & connection are the same: Toshiba 46" DLP HDTV (native resolution 1280x720) using a DVI to HDMI connection. It does this in both XP and Vista. I'm...

i agree completely that i'm overpaying for the psu. i had a silencer 270 way back that really impressed me so i decided to go with pc power & cooling again. according to them, "Our Silencer 470 ATX is 74% efficient. Our Silencer 610 EPS12V is 83% efficient." i don't know exactly what that...

thanks to you guys, that's why i'm here! i found the cooler for $23 and somewhere i saw heatsink benchmarks that led me to believe that the stock cooler was awful for overclocking. i have an odd case and think it would benefit from a more "directed flow" of air instead of it blowing straight...

thanks, i'm not tied to the mobo at all. both of those look like good choices at first glance & i'm reading up on them now. DavidoFoo, something wrong w/ that video card? what would you go with? it's a HTPC first, gaming system second so video playback is most important. That made me lean...

Woo hoo, finally upgrading! No specific questions really but feel free to throw some opinions at me I'm looking forward to it! My old specs: Athlon XP 2600+ (Barton) multiplier changed, running at 3200+ DFI NFII Ultra Infinity 1 GB Corsair XMS PC3200 (2x512) ATI Radeon 9700 Pro New...
