    Places to Buy Custom PCs

    In the past, I built all of my PCs. Now I need to upgrade my old PC before it dies and I'm planning on going with Windows 7, but I don't have time to build it myself. I don't want to go with a Dell or HP type shop. I want to buy from a place where I have a selection of parts and can have...

    Asus P5W DH Deluxe How to Disable Onboard Audio for New Soundcard?

    I have an ASUS P5W DH Deluxe based PC. I just bought a new Creative Labs X-Fi soundcard that I want to install. I've been using the onboard audio. What is the best way to shutoff the onboard audio? Do I just disable the HD audio in the BIOS? Do I remove the onboard audio card from the...

    Great Games/Screensavers for New Rig

    I just got a new PC Core 2 Duo with an ATI X1900 XT videocard and I'm looking for some great new games and screensavers to show capabilities of this machine. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

    BenQ FP241W

    That review isn't very useful. No pictures of gradients, no real data. I'm really looking forward to some hard data on this monitor.

    HIS X1900 XT IceQ3 512MB

    This is part of a PC I'm buying. Unfortunately I don't have time to build it myself this time around so I need a company that can build it for me and Monarch has a good range of choices. If anyone has any other suggestions for places other than Monarch, please let me know. I've bought...

    HIS X1900 XT IceQ3 512MB

    I'm getting ready to upgrade to a new PC. I've been looking at the 7900 GT and the X1900 XT. I'm seriously thinking of buying the HIS X1900 XT IceQ3 512MB. It's only about $70 more than the 7900 GT, is faster and comes with double the RAM. I've heard good things about the ICeQ3 running...

    Conroe Motherboards Intel Chipset Now or RD600 Later?

    I do a little of everything (from photoshop to movie editing, to email & web browsing, to office stuff). I'm really into games too that push my system. As to ATI or Nvidia, I haven't decided yet. I'm learning toward the 7900 GT right now. It seems to be the best deal for performance at...
