I recently ordered up a pair of Presonus Eris E5 monitor speakers and a Presonus Tremblor T8 sub for my PC. I have a pretty large desk and was wanting to raise the monitors closer to ear level instead of using angled isolation pads, so I imagine I am looking for 10-12" stands. However I am not...
Last Thursday I got my new Sapphire 7950 OC. Had about $200 in gift cards saved up so I figured I'd use them and see what all the fuss was about with the 79xx series cards. All I can say is WOW. What a fantastic card. Will not go as far as to say it is faster than my OC'd and unlocked...
After some thought, I decided I wanted to try the 2GB Sapphire HD 6950 Dirt 3 Edition. I must say that it is a fantastic card so far. I actually sold my GTX 580 that was a good overclocker because I like the 6950 so much. Plus after selling the free games (Deus Ex and Dirt 3) I will have got...
I am debating downgrading and selling my unlocked 2GB 6950's. I paid $280/ea for them last December and the last couple unlocked 6950's I have seen have on eBay have sold for $278 and $285 + shipping. I originally got them because I was running eyefinity, but have since switched over to a 30"...
I have never rolled with a Galaxy card before, but the one with essentially a Accelero Extreme Plus cooler on it seems to be a solid deal. Only $415 after rebate right now at the Egg.

Anyone tried one out? How is Galaxy support?

I am currently running a i5-750 @ 4Ghz and crossfired 6950's in eyefinity. Looking around I am not seeing much if any information on Crossfire/SLI scaling with the new SB 2500k/2600k cpu's and how they compare to the previous generation.
Are there any reviews that I just must be missing or...
So I am doing a quick emergency new build for my mother in law as her old computer died and she wants a new one asap and cheap.
To speed up the built and ship out process, I went with some of Fry's Friday deals I built the following.
Athlon II X3 440 (using OEM cooler)
BIOSTAR TA785GE...
Looking for a good low profile AM2 cooler for my HTPC. My Athlon II X3 gets warmer than I'd like with my current cooler as I do a lot more than just watch movies and TV on mine. I'd undervolt my proc and keep the stock clocks, but my motherboard does not have any options to undervolt. Looking...
Looking to replace my 24/7 utilized 5+ year old OCZ 520W on my son's computer as I am doing a computer refresh for myself. So he will get my current Cooler Master Real Power Pro 650W and I am looking to update the PSU on my computer.
Going with a i5 build and keeping my HD4890 for now, but...
I recently got a Gigabyte GA-DS3L when I moved some of my older stuff to my family computer. It is a Abit AB9 Quad GT and with the same e4300 and Gskill memory, which would run memtest stable at up to 1100mhz on the Abit, cannot even break 1000mhz on the gigabyte board using the same NB strap...
I have decided to upgrage our family computer, it is a socket 754 3000+ that has served us perfectly for years. But the AGP mobo is long in the tooth and it is choppy in modern games with the vanilla geforce 6600. So I have deemed it time to upgrade, but of course want to do it fairly cheap...
I am currently running a old 7900GT, which is obviously not cutting it with games like crysis. My Abit Quad GT is crossfire capable so I am considering giving it a try. Running 2x3850's seems like a good deal based on some of the reviews I have read. I was wondering if going with the 256MB...
Looking to upgrade from my current 2.1 speaker setup and take advantage of my VNF3's onboard 5.1 surround sound. Any good options out there. Looking to spend $50-75. Currently looking at the new Logitech X-530's, but there are no reviews out there that I can find on them yet. Also looking at...
My old VNF3-250 was killed. Long story, but my 9800 pro was killed as well. So I picked up a new motherboard and a 3200+ to try out. Still waiting on my 9800 Pro.
Both cpu and motherboard are better than my old vnf3 and 3000+ (Which is still good) I have not moved over to my water cooling...
I was changing around my watercooling the other day to see if I could better temps with a t-line compared to a res. When putting my PC back together, it all of a sudden will no longer boot. No power, no lights, no fans nothing. I've tried different ram, different power supply, HD's...
So I have been having some weird problems with my Hitachi SATA drives. They have not been getting along with my Shuttle AN50R. It might be the drives or the onboard SI3112r sata controller, but that is a long and different story, but with all my fiddling opening up my case and swapping cables...
So this is how the story goes. I bought myself a bright and shiney A64 3000+, Shuttle AN50R and a stick of Mushkin PC3500 Level 1. Now this is where the weirdness begins.
Do my initial build and computer refuses to load past bios. Later found it to be a compatability issue between my ATI...
