    Using an Old AIO Cooler

    I'm currently piecing together a new system using a Ryzen 1800X (yup, I was tempted by the $300 price tag), which does not come with a cooler. I have a Corsair H60 that I purchased about 4 years ago for use in an unrelated project. I never finished said project, so the cooler has been sitting...

    Unlocked AT&T HTC One M8 on T-Mobile?

    Hey all, The USB port on my T-Mobile HTC One M7 is failing, so I figure that's a good excuse for an upgrade. :thumbsup: I'm considering purchasing a refurbished HTC One M8 Windows, but ones I can find are for AT&T (here and here, for example). The AT&T version seems to support T-Mobile...

    YouTube: Silicon Chip Wafer Fab Components

    I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I saw this video on YouTube and thought it was neat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0WEx0Gwk1E That probe jig is absolutely bonkers! :eek: More info here from the guy who sent in the equipment...

    Decent Used Car For About 10K

    Hi all! I might be overexplaining this, but I figure more info is better than little info. (Edited to shorten it a bit) Right now I drive a 1998 Buick Century that actually belongs to my mom. It has the 3.1L V6 with 136k miles on it. It has been in two accidents, damaging the front end...

    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html Just tried YouTube on 64-bit Firefox in Ubuntu Hardy and it worked fine. Haven't tried it yet on Opera, though (which is what I normally use).

    Warm? Westinghouse 22w2 22" LCD Refurb......$185 + shipping

    Found this deal when looking up monitors online. Also found a pretty detailed review here at Widescreen Gaming Forum. eCost's basic ground shipping is about $17, I think, and about $33 for two-day shipping. I sprung for one last night, so I'll let people know how it goes. It'll be...

    Westinghouse L210NM, where to buy?

    So I've been wanting a nice 24" LCD that I can also hook up game consoles to for a while. Shopping around lead me to the Westinghouse L2410NM, which posters here and at other forums seemed to really like, especially since it was pretty cheap for the features. Well, now that I actually have the...

    Found this on the Creative forums: http://forums.creative.com/cre..._date_ascending&page=1 Looks like the only things he needed to remove was checking for EAX 5 for the Audigy cards and EAX 4 for the Live! cards. I haven't tried it personally yet, but other posters are saying it's working...

    Goin' Budget HT

    I'm updating the first post here for anyone else who may be in my situation (want HT but don't have a lot of money). I had the Cambridge MegaWorks 550, but wanted something better (and they started screwing up). At first I didn't think I could get anything decent on such a low budget, but...

    Need New Canalphones

    Note: I've looked at the other "Best Headphones for iPod" topic, but the phones mentioned there were about $100 and were not portable. The topic did give me a few ideas, though. I have a Neuros HD 20GB (link goes to open source development site) digital audio player and I was using Sony...

    Different Cable for Cambridge MegaWorks 550 THX

    I've had my Cambridge MegaWorks 550 for about 6 months and I am very happy with them. One thing that does annoy me at times, though, is that there is an amplifier hum that can be heard within some of my music (at lower volumes) and when nothing is playing through the speakers. This problem...

    DVD-ROM Drive Recommendations

    I'm hoping I can fix my current one, but I don't see that happening. Not too long ago, I upgraded my computer with an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and an Athlon 64 3200+ Winchester. Basically, my DVD-ROM started out reading discs very, very slowly until it eventually stopped working. It will no...

    Athlon 64 3200+ Winchester with 1GB PC2700 RAM

    I plan to get an Athlon 64 3200+ Winchester and an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum. I was hoping to get some PC3200 RAM with it, but that would be too expensive for me at the moment. I currently have a gig of Apacer PC2700 RAM (2.5-3-3-7). How much of a performance decrease would there be. I did a...

    Yay!! Another "I need a new case" topic.

    Okay, a week or so ago I made a topic about getting a new PSU since my Powmax one is sucking severly (it sparked and took out power in my dorm overnight a few days ago; luckily, nothing was hurt as far as I can tell). I found the Silverstone SST-ST400 PSU, which others said was a good one...

    Silverstone 400W PSU

    OK, so I have this case (Powmax w/450 PSU) and I don't like it. Feel free to laugh. It's flimsy, full of dents when I got it, and the panels are bent so it's difficult to put them back on. I also fear that the Powmax PSU will destroy my computer (I already need a new mobo, don't know if it's...

    Help Interpreting Prime95 and Memtest86+ Tests

    The Problem Within the past two weeks, I've begun to have problems with crashing in my games: FarCry, Doom3, UT2004, and The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. The game will crash to the desktop in the middle of it at seemingly random intervals. It does not happen all the time, but happens quite...
