    Directv install/setup

    When I was setup for DTV last year it was one HD receiver. I have since acquired a D12 for a small tv in my garage but I'm unsure how to add it to the setup. Coming from the slimline dish is a single wire. It goes to a ground block on the outside of the house, then into the house, into and...

    Asus P5B mystery

    I know there is an official p5b thread here but it hasn't been visited in a couple of months by anyone so I was hoping someone might catch this one. Problem: I've updated to the latest bios (1803) and now it seems like cpu throttling is on by default. Cpu-id will show the multiplier jump...

    Power problem. Any suggestion??

    A brief description of how this problem manifested itself from my 13 year old daughters point of view. The wireless mouse lost connection with the base unit and she couldn't figure out how to get the mouse and the base to link up (yes...I know how, but wasn't home) so she thought a reboot might...

    Attention Audiophiles

    I'm looking to replace my tired old JBL entry level 5.1 speakers. They're currently running off a Kenwood 500w 5.1 DD (no DTS) amp. So I'd like to replace the amp as well (maybe move it all up to the bedroom) and get all new. I'd like to stay under $1000. $750-ish would be even better. But...

    Dell Dimension 4400 motherboard/processors, and RAM???

    I'm doing some upgrades for a friend on his Dimension 4400. It's the first time I've ever cracked open the case on a Dell and I must say I am impressed with the ease of it all and the clean build of it as well. There's plenty of room to work and it looks like it'll take an upgrade of just...

    What is the best water cooling solution for the least $$

    I'd like to make the move to water cooling but don't want to make the common mistakes I'm sure others have made before getting to the water block/cooling system they're at now. Can someone recommend a good system for small $$? Is there such a beast? I'd like to start out with a CPU (P4...

    What is the deal w/ credit card PayPal transactions

    I see it all the time. "Will accept non-cc PayPal". Can someone fill me in as to why sellers don't want to accept a PayPal payement from a buyer if the buyer uses a credit card to fund the transaction. As a sometimes seller (as well as a buyer), I feel the need to find this out. Do tell...

    MSI Neo 2 or Abit IS7??

    The question may have been asked here before, but here's my thoughts going in to the decision on which board to purchase. A good stable overclock is my main goal, so tell me what you think, or actually which do you think I should buy? I have a retail 2.6C on the way and I'll be powering the...

    The best digicam $800 can buy??

Until tonight, I had no idea of the absolute huge selection of digicams out there. Even in the $800+ price range...

    Do Antec TruePower 330's have adjustable rail voltage pots inside??

    Power supply w/ adjustable rails??

    Is it possible to make my own thermal adhesive?

    I'm wanting to glue a small heatsink on to the heatspreader of a Radeon 9700 Pro and ramsinks on to the ram. I'm thinking Arctic Silver II, (which I have on hand) and super glue. Would that work? The cheapest I can find thermal adhesive (Arctic Silver) shipped is around $12-$15, and that's...

    I'm thinking Arctic Silver II, (which I have on hand) and super glue. Would that work? The cheapest I can find thermal adhesive (Arctic Silver) shipped is around $12-$15, and that's just too much for me to justify for just a one time use. I may never use it again. So I'm wondering... has...

    Another 9500>9700 softmod success story!

    I'm happy to say that I am yet another success story of the now famous 9500>9700 softmod. I ran it stock as a 9500 w/ stock 276 core and 270 mem and scored 12001. I then installed the softmod, ran it again, and scored 15433. Look at the texture scores. Sweet!! I then bumped the core to 325...

    Scored a Smokin' multi-vid 2.53b from outpost

    Okay I sold my last retail 2.53b that was stable at 3.04, but I think I was hitting top speed. So I bit the bullet and ordered a tray 2.53b from outpost. (I usually like to stay w/ retail boxed) It is in fact a multi-vid...or so I think. Here's the markings on the chip: 2.53GHZ/512/533 SL6S2...

    Cleaning a cpu\GPU

    I'm cleaning the GPU on my 9700 Pro before adding my new modded coppper HSF and o'cing the piss out of it. Is it safe to use Goof Off to remove the original thermal pad/gunk around the GPU before I add some ASII and slap it together? Or is that oil based and it'd be wise to stay away from it...
