    Anyone else using Cox Communications in Phoenix/AZ?

    I'm near Camelback and the 51 and I haven't really had issues. There was one time it slowed down significantly, but all I did was restart my computer and the speeds were fine again. I've also had sporadic issues maybe once or twice a month where internet dies for a few minutes and then comes...

    DLP HDTV Question

    Hey all, I've noticed a problem with my Mitsubishi 52" DLP lately (I don't have the exact model available with me atm). There is a dark blue vertical band on the very left side of the screen that recently appeared and I have no idea what it might mean. Anyone know if it's a sign that the...

    Ugg this sucks bad..

    That has little or no relevance to what the OP is asking. $800 and $2400 is a significant difference.

    How long is your commute to work?

    Previous job I had was 25 miles away, but I worked at odd times (3pm-10pm) so I never hit bad traffic. Took about half an hour to 40 min each way. I never really hated the commute. How I commute 15-25 min depending on the traffic. :)

    EVGA 7900GTX Fan At 100%

    No, the card doesn't seem to be overheating (39°C Idle @ 100% fan speed). Probably a driver issue. BTW, is your TF2 screen name the same as your ATOT username? :) Might have played on a server with you.

    EVGA 7900GTX Fan At 100%

    Yeah, I've been reading around, and it seems to be a problem with the latest driver versions. I don't want to have to manually change the fan speed when going from regular PC usage to gaming. Does anyone know a fix?

    EVGA 7900GTX Fan At 100%

    Hey everyone. It seems like everytime I turn on my computer, my EVGA 7900GTX has the fans blasting at 100%. Using nTuner I can manually set the fans at 70% for less noise. However, as soon as I use the automatic fan control setting, the card blasts at 100% all the time. Is it supposed to be...

    Stock E6750 cooling fan - is it supposed to do this?

    I just recently upgraded to a E6750 which is currently being cooled with the stock fan on a Gigabyte P35-DS3L. When I turn my machine on, the fan spins and stops a few times (4-5) before it begins to continually spin. Is this normal? Or should I RMA the thing?

    I melt into this chair after work http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?level=SK&id=198455 . Although I'm never in it too long, it's very soft, comfy, and inexpensive (i think i got it on sale for $99).
