    Replacing a 6 year old Desktop, looking for build help.

    I double checked with my tape measure and 20.5" ends up being ok. Thank you so much for the help guys, looks like I have some triggers to pull.

    Replacing a 6 year old Desktop, looking for build help.

    Wow, this looks really good, thank you. One quick question: how much of a difference is there between the i5-4670K vs the i7 4770? Is it just the 2MB difference in L3 cache?

    Replacing a 6 year old Desktop, looking for build help.

    1. What YOUR PC will be used for. I will be using this computer for Gaming, web browsing, watching Twitch.tv streams, Netflix, and watching downloaded videos. I would also like to watch BluRay movies on this rig. 2. What YOUR budget is. $1800 3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts...

    Cant decide between these 2 keyboards.

    I don't know how deep into competitive FPS you plan on going when you're looking at fairly cheap keyboards such as these. From what I understand, a mechanical keyboard is the way to go, and I haven't seen one that's under $80-$90 because of the difference in build quality. Competitive gaming...

    Why does my second monitor flicker a little?

    Where would I access my registry in Vista 64? I don't fiddle with the registry and I want to make sure I'm accessing it properly.

    Why does my second monitor flicker a little?

    Even with a factory OC? I haven't done any OCing myself, it came OC'd a bit by Gigabyte out of the box. Should I try to "underclock" it some?

    Why does my second monitor flicker a little?

    I'm having this problem too. Just upgraded from a Sapphire x1950xt to a Gigabyte 5850 (factory OC'd: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-318-_-Product) and I'm now having the same problem on my second monitor, a Dell 2005fpw in landscape. My desktop is extended onto it from my 23.6" Asus...

    ipod classic concerns: itunes alternatives & file compatability

    Title pretty much says it all. I've had a Creative Zen Vision M for over 3 years now and the 30gig capacity is wearing a bit thin, as is the size and battery life to a lesser extent. As the Zune 120 was discontinued a year ago and I didn't have the money at the time to purchase one and I'm not...

    Can my PSU handle a 5850?

    So I'm looking to upgrade my video card from a x1950xt to a 5850. I'm using this PSU: http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16817194003 and looking to make sure that it'll be able to handle the card's power requirements. I'll be running a DVD-R drive and three hard drives (two 500GB, one...

    Brag if you got into the SC2 beta

    At the lowest possible graphic settings and resolution, why not? Obviously it won't run it at 1200x1900, but that's not really what the "minimum" in "PC Minimum Requirements" implies now is it?

    Brag if you got into the SC2 beta

    For some reason I wasn't able to submit my computer settings with the little blizz tool months back when the opt-in started. Probably just a router setting and I was too lazy to figure it out. Re-downloaded the tool a couple hours ago and it worked just fine, odd. Crossing my fingers to get in...

    PLEASE recommend a Sci-Fi Show [Bonus eye candy for viewing thread]

    First season of Lost was great, I watched it all in a week's time when I was with my ex. I don't suggest watching anything after that. I started watching season 2 and it just became annoying, absurd, and just not interesting in the least bit. I'll also echo an earlier recommendation of...

    what will happen if california legalizes marijuana in 2010?

    I look forward to voting in support of legalizing marijuana in the great state of California in 2010. I despise stoners but i despise those who would sacrifice liberty even more.

    $150 for a 27% alcohol by volume bottle of beer. Who's in?

    I purchased this two years ago, and it was delicious. The bottle is 750ml and when I purchased it there was a voucher for a free glass to drink it in (still had to pay shipping though). Glass holds about 2oz. It really was a great drink, shared a few sips with some of my buddies. There's also...

    SATA vs. IDE DVD drive ??

    I say SATA over IDE just for the ease of installation. I've always found it easier to use SATA cables instead of the IDE ribbons, not to mention it makes for a much less cluttered and messy mass inside your case.

    Verizon to double ETF fees.

    The rates are what they are because the expectation is that everyone on those rates got a subsidized phone. There is no cheaper rate for people who pay the full price for their phone, that's what he's getting at.

    Motorola Droid officially announced

    My understanding of why the FTC allowed for cable monopolies in areas was due to the high cost of installing cable service in the area. If cable companies didn't have monopolies in their designated areas then they would have never installed cable service in the first place due to this high...

    Verizon to double ETF fees.

    From the article you linked: So this will only affect corporate customers. Still shitty, but it's not a fee everyone who buys a Droid will see.

    Why is killing someone taken so seriously when the government is doing it?

    Like the above person said, killing someone cannot be undone. Furthermore, there are plenty of examples where people have been freed from DNA evidence and all other sorts of things. Then there's the cases of misconduct on the part of prosecutors, detectives, etc. I find you put too much trust in...

    Why is killing someone taken so seriously when the government is doing it?

    It's clearly not. I'm not sure what that has to do with the death penalty though.

    Why is killing someone taken so seriously when the government is doing it?

    The death penalty is wrong for the sole purpose that the government can't implement it without also putting to death innocent people. And rest assured, when someone who is innocent is put to death, we all become murderers. How many things does the government fail at running properly? And people...

    Official Zune HD Thread!

    Just read today that all other Zune models are discontinued now that the HD is out. This kinda sucks, I've been thinking about buying a new MP3 player and probably woulda gone with a Zune 120 since Creative hasn't released a replacement for my old Zen Vision M 30 gig.

    Newcastle 5 liter mini kegs

    Mini-kegs are more expensive than the bottles. I bought a Heineken mini-keg a few years back and personally the beer tasted worse than in bottles. Furthermore, a mini-keg holds about 14 beers, so unless you happen to only buy (overpriced) 12 packs at 15 dollars or more, buying bottles is much...

    wow late night with jimmy fallon really sucks

    Looking at IMDB, Conan O'Brien is only credited with writing on four Simpsons episodes, from 92-93. Do people generally realize that it was only four episodes he contributed to? Because from the way it's talked about by those who bring it up, one would think it was quite a bit more, or it'd at...

    i lost faith in rottentomatoes

    That's like judging Trading Places on the crap edited for TV version. Watched it one time with a buddy who wasn't really thrilled since he'd seen it on basic cable a few times. As we watched the DVD he kept telling me how much better it was than the edited/chopped up version he was familiar with.
