    which 400w power supply?

    Hmm, looks like I misread the power requirements of the gts450. My fault, although she could probably get away with a lesser card, I'll step it up to 500-550w. She doesn't want a Dell. She was considering a custom pc by a local shop anyway, so I suggested she just build her own. I'm...

    which 400w power supply?

    Looking for a 400w power supply to replace a failed unit in an old s754 system. It's for my sister's pc. She want's a new pc, and I've almost convinced her to build her own, so hopefully it would be able to power a low/mid-range AMD X4 rig with (at most) a GTS 450 (or ATI equivalent)...

    Racing Games on PC...

    I still play GT Legends, GTR2, and rfactor. I have Rac07 and GTR Evolution, but I never really got into either of those. I've played Dirt2 and NFS:Shift; they're fun and look nice, but too arcade-y for me I'm currently using a Thrustmaster Ferrari F430 wheel. I like the wheel, but I've had...

    i think I have a virus/trojan

    issue appears to be fixed Results from the Google search string "cmd regedit redirect" gave me lots of other similarly affected users. So I followed at thread at another site (major geeks) and thru a combination of MGTools and avenger, I was able to get my cmd and regedit functions back. I...

    i think I have a virus/trojan

    symptoms: - browser started crashing a lot (I use Opera 99% of the time) - then browser gets highjacked/redirected to other sites - can't run regedit or cmd prompt (there's no error message, just my taskbar disappears along with my desktop icons for a few seconds; same result in safemode)...

    CoH question *answered*

    If a group of engineers are killed while building a weapons emplacement, isn't there a way you can get another squad of engineers to finish building said emplacement? Apparently I'm doing something wrong or it just can't be done.

    The Cell Phone...

    It's not that important for me, but it's nice to have for entertaining myself during those idle times of sloth. Plus, I'm not that important and nobody likes me, so I don't get many calls, so it's not an annoyance either.

    Do you brush your dog's teeth?

    The vet said I should. He noticed my dog has a chipped canine tooth and commented that there is quite a bit of tartar/plaque build-up. Ha, there's no way she'll let me brush her teeth. I assume there's some type of chewie or something that dogs can chew on to get the same effect? I...

    Do you have eye floaters?

    Yeah, I still see a few things, even after scleral buckling surgery on both eyes. It's like my own personal kaleidoscope :P Both procedures were done during my late 20s.

    Help me pick a guitar amp - updated with pics

    used Peavey Classic 30 for $300ish - good all around amp, though it's probably too loud if you're just a bedroom player - spend the rest on tube/speaker swap, effects, etc.

    force a game to run in window mode?

    I tried alt-enter - that didn't do anything. I also tried adding -win to the target line, and that didn't work. I can't find a .cfg or .ini file to mess with either. Oh well, no big deal, I've since developed other pc problems that need more urgent attention :)

    tv tuner has vertical lines

    I picked up an Ati Theater Pro 550 card at the local Best Buy and all is good - no more vertical lines and the picture seems less pixelated than before. I'm using it with GB-PVR which, after some configuration, is working great. Just thought I'd give an update 'cause I know y'all are...
