    What kind of computer would you build to hold 10,000 cd's?

    Wow that's a huge project. But why is everyone suggesting these big expensive backup solutions costing over $1k? I doubt drive failure will be a really big problem, so you could go with something slower but a lot cheaper, like dvd R/rw. Processor speed won't be a big issue, although I wonder...

    LCDs any good for gaming?

    One thing that wasn't mentioned is if you go to a lot of lan parties, or just need to transport your computer a lot. It's a lot easier to carry around a 10 pound lcd than a 40 pound crt :)

    Should I use a laptop or PDA for college?

    Personally I"ve been using an ipaq this last semester and love it. Got a targus keyboard (same size as a laptop but it folds to the size of the pda) and it's great for taking notes for most classes, not really math equation type stuff though.

    Any good solutions to plugging a monitor into another video source?

    I"d like to be able to plug my game console systems into my monitor so I don't need to waste space with a tv, also, it's a really nice monitor :) I"ve never been able to really find a way to do this, but there must be. I guess something like a radeon all in wonder with tv in might work, but is...

    Monitor making a clicking noise

    welp, it's stopped working entirely now. Yesterday the screen just went black after more noise. I turned it on a few mins later, and I hear a pop kinda sound and smelled a bit like a lightbulb burnt out. So ya, it's dead. Just got a new monitor today.

    Monitor making a clicking noise

    I have a 19" Trinitron tube monitor that is about 5 yrs old. Just this past week when I turn it on or off I get a rapid clicking sound for a few seconds. However it is functioning just fine besides that. It's currently running @ 85Hz on my geforce 2 ultra at 1280x1024. I'm thinking it's...

    How much more performance between pc 2100 and 2700?

    Ok, I found some pc-2700 512 dimms for 150, Samsung brand. Great deal imo compared to crucial, even WITH 20% off right now. But would there be much difference in 2 256mb vs. 1 512 module? My mobo will support 3 gigs I believe so I"ll probably go with the single 512 module.
