    Watercooling a 9950 Phenom

    Okay....so WC isn't my thing, but I have a friend who wants to give it a shot anyway. He's currently running a Zalman 9900 (or 9700) and while his temps are fine, he would like them lower still....and this done more quietly. So to all the WC gurus out there, could you recommend a complete...

    Anyway to add HD audio header to front panel?

    I purchased a cheap Rosewill case to to house a rig I pieced together for some LAN stuff, but I have a problem. The mobo only supports audio out through a HD header, but the case only came with a standard AC97 audio header to the front panel. From what I've tried/read/understand, they aren't...

    Just got a Nintendo DS....

    So I just beat the New Super Mario Brothers game and I haven't had that much fun on a hand-held platform, ever. I do have a problem though.... I know one of the perks of the DS is the dual panel w/touch screen...but I much prefer a standard platforming game that makes use of the buttons, more...

    AM2 mobo that can do 290+ HTT/FSB

    Any suggestions? This is a new rig just to toss around so I'm looking for a mobo that can take my spare 4000+ X2 up to 3GHz. Any suggestions? I'd like RAID (0/1) & to stay under $100. It would also be great if the mobo supported AM2+ for when the new B3 Phenom's drop down in price, but this...

    Enermax Uber Chakra

    Do any of you have the aforementioned case? If so, can I see some snapshots inside to see how you used cable management? I just ordered the case (39.99 AR + Shipping) but from other reviews I've seen it looks like a challenge without some extensive modding.

    750WT CM Real Power Pro (59.99 AR) from MicroCenter

    750 Real Power Pro Great deal on a very good PSU for those that care. Currently much cheaper than NewEgg and all the other e-tailers around the web. Shipping was only 5.99 for me.

    Don't forget about the 8800GS...

    Just wanted to share my results with you guys... So I picked up the "Alpha Dog" XFX 8800GS (580/700) for $150-$20 Rebate with FS earlier this week from the egg. I just sold my other (better) rig and put this one together on a very small budget to be my portable gaming build. Now that...

    Good deals on some cheap cases....close to the best you can get for $20 - $30 AR with free shipping. Please note that these cases don't come with any case fans. Ultra rebates have always been exceptionally fast for me as well (unlike my other Cooler Master "Status-Now" ones which I've had to...

    Wireless PCI NIC

    I'm building a portable SFF/Destkop rig that's going to be used for a few different projects in a couple weeks, and it's imperative I find a wireless NIC that has some great range for both home and abroad. I don't really care if it's above average cost wise (as I expect it would be), and...

    Scan to Vector/EPS format?

    I have a 8.5x11" piece of artwork that a student made at one of our local schools, and I've been asked to help get this document into Illustrator Vector or EPS format. Is this even possible without having to be redrawn? Is there a way to just scan it and save it in one of these formats? I know...

    Socket 775 Backplate

    So I have an old Sunbeam 92mm Tower Cooler that worked pretty good back in the day and I'm going to use it on a new machine I'm tossing together. The problem is, some stupid guy got pissed off with the push-pins after he was reseating them b/c his board wouldn't POST due to VGA...

    80mm to 92mm on the cheap?

    Soooo...The very first computer case I ever purchased (Clicky!) is back from the dead as a torrent/FTP box...and it's a lot louder than I remember it being years ago. I've used a few nice cases since that first purchase and I guess low db 120mm fans spoiled me a tad....so I'm looking to quiet...

    Uber Chakra vs P180B vx CoolerMaster 690

    So my recent video card upgrade bumped up case temps by 2-3C on everything.....and while everything fits fine, I'd prefer a little more wiggle room and better air flow. Two of my friends already have the CoolerMaster 690 and I really like it's price....and performance...I just want something...

    OCZ vs Corsair vs Mushkin

    I'm not one to usually do this but I'm in over my head when it comes to the quality segment of PSU purchases. I'm currently on a 550WT Rosewill with dual 18A on the 12V and it's been doing great, but I'm moving to a new setup in the next 2 months and I'm getting the case and PSU now to offset...

    HP Netserver E 800 - RAID 0?

    So my boss just gave me an old server with dual 1GHz P3's and 1GB of RAM that he used to use up until about 2 years ago. It had Win2k Server on it in RAID 5 over 4 18.2GB SCSI HD's. I'm admittedly new to all of this and RAID / SCSI is a bit intimidating to me. I managed to format all the...
