    Built My System, help me tweak it

    i've already got a pretty good cooler for the processor; just need to OC it now. I also haven't been able to find a good OC guide for the 8800 GTS specifically, just a bunch of stuff for the GT. What about my two 750gig Seta drives? How should I run those?

She is the nicest girl in the...

    I spent $1100 today and it wont turn on!

    well smartass in the other thread like I said some people are running a modified bios designed just for this card and processor to get along, I wasnt sure if asus had released anything to adress this problem, its sorta hard to check that kinda stuff from a cell phone.

    Help me build my tower

    Thats what I'm doing now. What I would think would be appropriate for now would be one video card that has the option of running with another, and then I could decide to either buy one now or just go ahead and buy two. What I'm hoping to get from this is some links to good motherboard...

    Stealth CD Drive Covers

    I did the mod on my cd drives where I removed the face of the drive and attached a drive cover that came on the case to the front of it, then I wired the button to the reset button on the computer (and disconnected the reset from mo/bo) . That has not been working as smoothly as I would like...

    Holy Mother of God

    So I get home this afternoon to find that I didn't close my door all the way. I walk in and the cat had knocked a water glass right onto the tower. This is a very bad thing since I have a 120mm fan on top of the tower. What little water was in the cup poured through the fan grill, dripped down...
