    I posted this issue a while back, and still haven't came to a conclusion. I'm having some problems with my display recently. I was wondering if anyone had any advice/help. The affects of whatever is going on is leading some images to appear 'grainy' or whatever. Also, my display will...

    Video Problems

    I'm having a slight problem with my display. Whenever I'm viewing images on my computer, whether they be on the web or local on the hard drive, most all of them appear with little teal or white dots in them, making them look slightly grainy. I've never saw this before. I've tried...

    air circulation

    It's common knowledge to most everyone that heat rises and cool air stays at the bottom. It's a principle I learned at a very early age but recently was reminded of when thinking about how to cool down my rig. My idea was (and I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this) to put some...
