    A new build

    Ok, so I got rid of my old computer...which wasn't too old...for a new rig. And before I buy all the hardware, I wanted to know if all the components were compatible with each other. I've been talking to a guy from work, and he says some of the parts have a history of having compatibility...

    Mp3s sound bad on my Zen Micro

    Ok, so I just got a Creative Zen Micro Mp3 player and once I transferred all my music to it, I noticed that almost all of my songs have clicks in them...it almost seems like the speakers are blown. I mainly hear it in the left channel, so I thought it might be my headphones, so I returned them...

    Poll: Does "the perfect rig" really need SLI?

    This poll is just to see how many of us think that SLI is manditory in what *you* consider "the perfect rig". To me, a "perfect rig" is more like "The ultimate gamming pc of all time" and costs around $3000.00 to $4000.00. Soooo...have t it. :)

    A stick of PC3500 RAM in a PC3200 slot?

    So I heard that if you put a stick of DDR433 (PC3500) RAM in a slot meant for DDR400 (PC3200), it would overclock better, and be more stable than a stick of DDR400 RAM in a DDR400 slot. Would a stick of DDR433 or a stick of DDR500 even work in a slot meant for DDR400?

    Ok, so I just aquired a fairly new 19" monitor for free. There are a few things I want to do with it. I have it hooked up to my laptop's secondary monitor output, and I was able to get my Nvidia go 5200 to clone it, so that I see an exact copy of everything that I'm doing. Now what I want to do...

    Is there an online guide for "upgrading" the Zen Micro Mp3 Player?

    Ok, so Creative Labs will be releasing their 4GB version of the Zen Micro Mp3 Player for about $225. To save a little money, a friend of mine suggested that I buy the smaller one, then take my old 30GB HDD out of my laptop (which I'll also be upgrading to an 80GB HDD), then put the 30GB HDD in...

    2 Loop Water Cooling system.

    So a friend of mine suggested that I try a "2 loop" water cooling system if I'm going to atempt a highly overclocked rig. Basicly there would be a dedicated pump and radiator with a common resivior just for the CPU, and then the other two blocks, and maybe a HDD cooler would have their own...

    Help with cable sizes...

    OK, so I'm starting to design a custom case that places ALL the drives at least 5 feet from the motherboard and the PSU. Actually getting the cables isn't the problem, since I'll be splicing them together and then covering them with cusom sheathing. My question is: How long can the cables...

    ATI A-I-W X800XT or X800 + TV Wonder Elite?

    Ok, so I'm at the point in building my custom gamming computer where I need to buy the video card. But before I get ahead of myself, I think I should list my motherboard so no one starts suggesting a PCIe card for my AGP board... My mobo is an Abit IC7-G MAX II Advance motherboard (AGP board)...
