    PCIe 6 pin to dual 4 pin molex connector

    If you're going to connect a 7800 series card using this power adapter it stands to reason that you'd want to be across both 12v rails of your PSU. How do we go about determining which PSU pigtails are connected to which rail? And are the pigtails in fact separated at all. Maybe one rail is...

    PDP Patriot PC3200 XBLK for $169.00 @ Monarch

    These are 180 to 190 with tax and shipping everywhere else so if you don't live in Georgia it's a pretty good deal. These sticks originally had TCCD chips but I can't get any info from PDP now as to which chips they are currently using on these sticks. Maybe somebody else has some recent info...

    UNinstalling Windows

    I'm installing a new mobo and want to install windows on a drive separate from the rest of my software. I have 2 drives. Is it possible to uninstall windows from the drive where it resides now, after I've done a fresh install on my other drive? I know that the WD software won't let me reformat a...

    Enermax/Coolergiant 480W PSU - 49.90 @ Fry's B&M

    Grabbed the last 2 @ the Fry's in Fountain Valley (one for me and one for me bro). Installed last night and running fine, although my system doesn't really stress it too much. Got a Chieftec Matrix "mid-tower" case which is rather (good riddance Dan) tall but no issues with cable lengths. Also...

    Monarch Price Drop again on 3200+ 939 Winnie

    They've had this CPU at $191, same as Newegg all week. The OEM unit is $180. Just cruised through their site and now the retail box is $180, too. Probably only for the day. I don't NEED one of these but....does need really enter into the equation? Usually not...

    The New Cell Processor

    Found this article discussing the operation of the new Cell processor. The author pulled the patent , read and then "decoded" it for mere mortals such as myself. Pretty neat stuff and boy are Intel and AMD gonna have to pick up the pace soon. Or get left...

    HOT!!!! X-hour at Xoxide

    The UltraX is a gussied up POWMAX. Read the reviews of POWMAX units and then you'll understand all the bashing this unit received. I had one. The 12v rail was low and unstable. But please, buy one if you must. Lord knows their R&D dept could obviously use some additional funding. Once...

    ~Free~ Trojan Warm Sensations Condom Sample

    Probably useful if you're doing refrigerated poultry. Or you're a necromaniac. Otherwise probably not really needed. :D

    Why bother?

    Had a Thermaltake 420 watter. Lasted less than one year, the 12v rail died. But that's one of the things that make electronics SO exciting. The possiblity that anything electronic can die at any time for no good reason! Or at least not for any obvious reason. You don't have to drop it, or pour...

    Why bother?

    Here's a link recently posted at another forum. Good info about PSes. And yes, the Ultra is a POWMAX piece of crap ( I know, I bought one) dressed up like a hooker in her Saturday nite best. http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=792566

    Free SIRIUS receiver w/car dock with one year agreement *Howard Stern Rally Special*

    Of course it's big. It's not just a radio receiver, it's also a transmitter. That way the Sirius, or XM, satellite can communicate with the set. Of course, anytime you transmit anyone else who might be interested (insert your favorite governmental agency here) can also track you anywhere you...

    Obviously for the audiophile with more bling than brains. And I have no doubt that they are out there. These are the same yahoos who pay two grand for a custom painted PC case and five grand for a high end "gaming" system, when, in fact, the only person getting gamed is them. :D

    Red UV Tubing for water cooling setup.

    Looking for some 3/8" ID red UV reactive tubing for an H2O cooling setup. I have looked just about everywhere and no luck. One site has 8mm UV red but that's comparable to 1/4", which is too small for CPU cooling. Hoping somebody has seen or bought something like this somewhere out there.

    What Blue state ?

    Yep. Sure seems to be quite a bit of blue in those states south of the Mason-Dixon line, for all the remarks by libs about "stupid" southern voters. So how did the mapsters decide which color to use for each side? I think the repubs got red because of all the barns and tractors in those...

    Where is the Cmos located?

    I've already cleared the cmos several times as well as pulling the battery and reinstalling. I've tried different ram slots, a different ps, and no change.

    Where is the Cmos located?

    Getting a CMOS error on a used mobo I recently picked up. The post code indicates to check the R/W (read/write)? functionality of the CMOS. Is the area the CMOS info is stored physically part of the BIOS chip or is it somewhere else? Hoping that if I change the BIOS chip I can correct the problem.

    Got mine today. Got in on the 69 dollar deal but there's a bit of a problem. I have the Chieftec Matrix case which is produced for several different companies under different names. I love the case but guess what- when I went to install the supply it goes right through the hole in the back of...

    :D Spoke to Ken this AM to get current pricing. He is now offering the windowed model for $69.99! He says the distributor, for reasons unknown, charges him more for the standard model without the UV windows and fans. So he can sell these UV models for less. I'm in SoCal, where PC POwerzone's...

    Newegg finally has the DFI Lanparty UT 250GB NForce3 chipset mobo

    NO it's not gouging. It's supply and demand. The market decides what the price will be, ultimately. If nobody wanted the damn thing they'd be giving them away. If there was only one left in the entire world they could probably get 300-400 bucks for it. Maybe more depending on how bad somebody...
