    BenQ T241W 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor

    I've been researching LCD monitors lately and I've come across the BenQ T241W 24" widescreen monitor. The specs look good but it appears to be released recently so there isn't many reviews. Wondering if anyone has any experience with BenQ monitors and can comment on their quality. My dad is...

    Computer won't boot from CD?

    I'm trying to install Windows Vista, but for some reason my computer won't boot from a CD. I've set my CD rom as the first boot device and I've also tried pressing ESC at the post screen and choosing the CD rom as the boot device and it still won't boot from CD, just loads Windows XP. I've...

    Pentium D 805

    Just got a Pentium D 805 machine up and running using the stock HSF and the idle temps are about 65C degrees breaking 70C degrees under load.. Is this waaay too high? Should I check to see if the HSF is mounted correctly, and maybe replace the stock thermal paste with something else? I know...

    Decent mobo for Pentium D 805

    Building a budget computer for a friend and she is very very tight on money. I'm goin with the Pentium D 805 since its the cheapest dual core processor by quite a bit, compared to AMD. I know Conroe's are outrageous performers, but its simply too much even for the lowest end cpu. Plus, the...

    EVGA Step-up

    With the release of the 7950GX2, I was just curious how long it typically takes EVGA to add newly released cards to the step-up program. I'm runnin short on my eligibility time period. I know with the release of the 7900 series of cards people were stepping up fairly quickly it seemed. I have...

    7900GTX Overclocking

    Coolbits won't pass the test past 670mhz core and 870mhz memory clock.. I know I could go a little higher since Coolbits is usually on the safe side.. Rivatuner doesn't seem to support 84.20 drivers yet.. anything else to use?

    New power supply!

    Just received my 7900GTX today, and found out my OCZ 450w PSU provides BARELY enough power to run.. which means no overclocking and what not (plugged in a 120mm fan and computer won't boot, post, etc.) So, looking for a new power supply. Looking for a name brand, nice power supply for around...

    Dell 2405FPW + Monitor Scaling

    First question.. I'm currently using a Viewsonic VA2012wb 20.1inc widescreen monitor using the DVI connection. However, whenever I try to use any form of scaling other than the default it doesn't work correctly (like if I wanted to run in 1280x1024 with black bars on a 1680x1050 native...

    EVGA 7900GTX Cards

    All of the evga 7900GTX cards are the same correct, just the higher priced ones come pre-overclocked? So basically, to save a few bucks, buy the $499 one and use coolbits to easily overclock it? Or is there a possibility it will not reach the speeds of the other preoverclocked cards? Thanks...

    Northbridge Cooler

    I've been toying with the idea of overclocking my A8N-SLI Deluxe. Currently I have replaced the crappy stock HSF that came on the northbridge with the Zalman NB47J, however I am not overclocking so I think its suitable right now. My case is the Coolermaster Centurion 5 case which has an 80mm...

    1 gig or 2 gigs?

    I'm looking into purchasing some new RAM and have narrowed it down to a few choices. When I built my computer a year ago I knew nothing about RAM and saw "Kingston HyperX PC3200" for a cheap price + mail in rebate at Fry's.. Well, needless to say it was the lower end HyperX that cannot...
