    Considering putting freshly built PC by new LCD...to run wireless or hardwire Cat?

    Come on now! 67 views and all I get is a typo correction? I have never tried to stream or game on cable through a wireless connection so I dont want to waste my time/money on a wireless adapter if its going to hiccup a lot or not allow enough data transfer for me to actively game or stream a...

    Considering putting freshly built PC by new LCD...to run wireless or hardwire Cat?

    So I just bought a 55 inch LCD (my first HD TV) and just finished building my first true gaming pc (well budget minded). I put the cable modem and wireless in the office (about 12 feet from where the tv is in the living room) I figured I would just game on my old school 18 inch LCD monitor but...

    I forgot to order my cpu/mobo combo and now its sold out... oops! Looks like with the 640 they are now combo'ing the 640 AMD with thefollowing: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813135241 (for 135 AR!) Is that board any good? Has decent reviews and the price is RIGHT! There are...

    Buying hardware tonight...Picked out Ram and GPU...any input on mobo/HDD/PSU/CPU???

    That combo does seem like a good deal...I will just pick that up (the original one you linked, the 3.0 amd and 3.0 USB). Any small bits I should buy while im doing a newegg order? Are there some "DUH" parts I will not be receiving in the boxes that I will need for assembly? Are CPU...

    Buying hardware tonight...Picked out Ram and GPU...any input on mobo/HDD/PSU/CPU???

    I bought everything but the CPU and Mobo (as they are not really on sale right now). I am hoping I can find a good deal on either a combo or piece together individually a 3.0+ AMD quad core and whatever Mobo will work with it for Cyber Monday!! Thanks for the help so far. Any other good sites...

    So BF/ Cyber monday are pretty much here. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231277 You can combo out the Gskill too... They have over a dozen combo packages including this ram. The one with the AMD quad core for $314 seems decent? Or at the end of the list they combo the...

    Want to build a game rig for ~500 *insert chuckle*

    I would say 600 shipped is doable...preferring to keep it near 550 if at all possible. I guess I am so far out of the loop I dont know what would be good to boost up and what can be sacrificed to be able to play todays games and hopefully some of tomorrows games (Not looking for 200fps @ Max...

    Want to build a game rig for ~500 *insert chuckle*

    1. What YOUR PC will be used for. ~ Gaming. I have a laptop for the net so this rig will only be used for gaming, probably tied to either a 50" plasma 1080 or a 55" LCD 1080. 2. What YOUR budget is. ~500! I know its low :( 3. What country. Good old USA 4. IF YOU have a brand preference...

    Buying Comcast cable...which modem/router? Also, will they run coax to the house???

    Thanks everybody for the info! I was almost at the checkout screen for the same modem you linked to cableguy but then realized it was a Router not a wireless modem. Are wireless modems not as popular anymore? Seems like a lot of simple ethernet modems out there for 40-50 bucks then a ton of...

    Buying Comcast cable...which modem/router? Also, will they run coax to the house???

    ok thats what I figured. And really im good with comcast just running new line TO the house and then into the basement/computer room. From there I guess its dish networks responsibility to make sure the rooms im paying to have service in (4) all have coax running to them from their dish. I...

    Buying Comcast cable...which modem/router? Also, will they run coax to the house???

    Also..I am planning on a Roku or apple tv to stream Netflix, not to mention I would like to get back into some light gaming so a non-flakey unit would be preferred of course.

    Buying Comcast cable...which modem/router? Also, will they run coax to the house???

    I just bought a house and am getting comcast cable (the middle of the road one...they claim 15mb/s or something peak, not sure what average reality numbers are). Which wireless modem should I get? I would like to go Wireless N but am unsure how the whole B/G/N compatability thing goes? I have...

    WOW have monitors come down in price!!! Just a few years ago I paid quite a few hundred for my 19 inch... http://www.frys.com/product/5958434?...H:MAIN_RSLT_PG I take it this is NOT 1080 since its just DVI output? (not hdmi?)

    Been out of PC gaming for a few years and want to build a budget tower, need input!

    I am in no hurry.. I bought a foreclosure 4 months ago and have been spending all my free time working on that (POS). I probably wont have the majority of it done for another 1-2 months anyway. I did not know ATI was releasing a new line of cards thanks for the tip. That build does seem pretty...

    I have been out of gaming for a few years mostly because I did not have the time. Last games I played were BF2, CSS and similar games. I want to get back into gaming (FPS games) and want to build a budget system that hopefully can play most of whats out there now and not be a total dinosaur...

    Thanks for the link storm- good build info! Zero, no offense taken. I am new to the forums and realized after posting the thread it probably would have fit better in a hardware section. Mods can you delete this? I will repost it in hardware Thanks!
