    options for sound in a non-cable-friendly condo? What have you done?

    Srry if this post too old. But why not just run the wire under the floor? Drill a hole on either end of the room and just fish it through. Or if the floor is a solid slab, the same thing can be done through the ceiling. Even if there's a second floor, there's generally a space between the floors...

    4 pin fan MOLEX to 3 PIN FEMALE to Motherboard header?

    I am curious about this as well. Would a high speed fan be too much for a high-end board? Specifically, I was wondering about this fan: http://www.newegg.com/product/...x?item=N82E16835185054 on the mobo header of this board: http://www.newegg.com/product/...x?item=N82E16813188025

    Mobo rated at 1333, 1800(OC), 2000(OC)

    Thanks for the reply:) The main reason I'm going DDR3 is because I want the 790i :-D. I want to get into the OC scene and want to have plenty of legroom with overclocking and that board seems to be getting some pretty solid reviews all around so far. Is this a bad choice? I'd appreciate any...

    Does all memory need to be in matched pairs?

As you all know, this memory is expensive so I only want to get what I can actually use. I have read in various places that with either XP or Vista...

    8800GTx2 or 8800 GTXXXXX?

    I got my main monitor about 2 years ago for like $800 or $900. It is a 27" HDTV. Its still seems to work great. I'd love to get a new monitor but I'd have to spend way more than I was planning to get one of comprable size and still get the cool graphics card.

    8800GTx2 or 8800 GTXXXXX?

    Hi guys!, Wow, I am very impressed with the great response I got from this question. I won?t be getting my new system ?til I get my taxes back anyway (couple of months yet), and it looks like the new 9800GX2 will be out by then, so I?ll probably end up going with that. One of my main concerns...

    8800GTx2 or 8800 GTXXXXX?

    Hi this is an awesome forum! I have a question about graphics cards. I am building a new system soon. I am debating on whether to get two (2) 8800 GT w/ 512, or a single 8800 GTX. Which would be better 2x 8800 GTs in SLI, or a single top of the line 8800 GTX (pimped out version)? I want to...
