    Why is my computer restarting?

    If u dont care about the 1yr warranty then go ahead and get that ... others such as corsair and seasonic offer way way better one. It also depends if u want modular cables or not. What's more important to u? Looks? Warranty? Saving a few bucks? Figure that part out and u know which psu to get...

    Which 939 air cooler is the best?

    I think Sunbeam Tuniq is the best from what I've read so far in the forums. You can also get a Big Typhoon which is highly rated also. If you're low on budget then stick with the stock fan or get the Freezer Pro as suggested. P.S. I returned my 9500 and used my stock fan since I'm not Ocing...

    what is the best way to arrange the many fans one has??

    Have weaker fans blow in from the front and the side. Have the stronger ones blow out from the back and the top. Everyone else agree? That is if they are all different fans, You can have a strong one blowing in from the side also =oP Any case with top and side fan mounts REALLY has a...

    What was the most expensive computer you or your family ever purchased?

    An IBM 386-SX 16mhz for $8000 back in 1988 that ran on 640k ram. Don't ask me about video card or what not because I was still young then. I think it had a 160mb hard drive and I was running DOS 4.0 and Windows 2.0 at the time. P.S. 3.5" Floppy Disk Drives just came out then ROFLz Veno(V)

    Is my mouse shot?

    To give u guys an update ... the problem for my left 2x click was the batteries. I borrowed the same set of batteries from another MX700 and it fixed the problem. It re-ocurred again when the battery started dying. So, try putting in some NiMH batteries rated max at 2000MaH to the OP and...

    Why does my MX Revolution feel like it sucks?

    I concur, I've used the Mx Rev for a day now CS-ing and it isn't balanced for gaming. Whenever I need to lift up the mouse to do a 180 ... ithe weight shifts to the bottom right like I'm slamming it. The Mx700 has way better weight ratio. Only reason I didn't go the G7 route was the missing...

    $200 budget for SuperMid - FullTower ATX Case - wut would u get

    What is the difference between the Stacker 810 and the Stacker STC-T01-UW1? The pix looks identical. I noticed the STC-T01-UW1 has room for 2 PSUz while the older 810 uses that room for an extra 120mm fan hehe. I guess that's it.

    Antec 900 vs P180

    I've been checking cases out like crazy and imo, the p180 wins. Too many holes (LOUD)in the Antec 900 and there are no dust filters at all. Neither case looks nice in my eyes. The p180 is awesome in terms of ease of tinkering and re-arrangment (once the PITA cables are in place). Can you...

    520 vs 620 psu

    $24 pays for extra plugs with extra amps covering 100 watts and self-reassurance of a good deal if you ever plan to move the psu to a newer computer. Who knows, maybe down the line you will go SLI but even if you did the 520 should cover it unless thay are dual 8800z =oP We still dunno how...
