    NZXT Rogue

    Well, can it? Oh, and I'm also interested in mATX boards. I've never thought of building a small computer before and I think I'm going to try it. What are some of the best mATX motherboards?

    COD4 Profile

    Well, I'm going to reformat soon but I don't want to lose my COD4 profile which would make me level all over again. Is there some file I can copy to a USB drive so I can keep it?

    Looking to build my second PC

    1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. Gaming, Music, Movies, Internet. 2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread Under $1100 CAD including shipping and taxes. 3. What country YOU...

    PSU Wattage

    Let's say I have a 750W power supply but my computer doesn't necessarily need all of it. Would getting a 600W or even a 500W power supply save me money on my electricity bills? Does a 750W power supply use ALL 750W even although it is not needed? Thanks for any replies.

    Black screen when playing games.

    OK, well every time I try to play a game, any game, my monitor just goes black and I can see the power LED slowly flashing. I've tried to Alt-Tab, Ctrl-Alt-Delete, F10, Alt-F4 but the only way I can get out of it is by restarting my computer. I'm running a 2900PRO with the latest drivers (7.12)...

    Q6600 Weird Issue

    OK, so I was about to overclock my Q6600 when I realized the BIOS showed it rated at 1.8Ghz (9x 200Mhz.) when really it should be 2.4Ghz. I know about SpeedStep and it has been disabled and even on full load when I play Counter Strike Source and World of Warcraft at the same time it doesn't bump...

    GA-P35-DS3R

    It's a very rather small memory support list. Should I be concerned considering I'm building my computer in a week? I'm planning on putting in a 4GB Kit of Patriot Extreme Performance RAM. Just because it's not on this list doesn't mean it won't work properly, right? Does anyone have the same...

    Would a PS3 play games at 1080i on my old CRT "HD" TV?

    I have a CRT TV that says it supports 1080i. It doesn't have any HDMI or anything. I know the PS3 can support 1080i but I think I heard that was just for the main menu screen or something and games wouldn't actually play at 1080i. Has a recent firmware update fixed this? Or, is there anyone that...

    If you don't overclock should you still need to run tests?

    Well, if you've just put together the new build you bought and you don't plan to overclock, should it be necessary to run those stability tests such as Prime95? Possibly just in case something wrong with your memory insertion or something? I'm asking this for a brand new put together...

    GA-P35-DS3R and Tuniq Tower 120

    I read a review on xbitlabs I think it was and they said the back on this mobo had like some stuff on it that went through the mobo so some coolers might have difficulty fitting. I would like to know if the Tuniq Tower has any problems. Thanks

    What if NVIDIA and ATI were owned by the same company?

    Sure, flame, but I'm seriously not going to care. Just try to keep an open mind... It could be a possibility, in my mind anyways. I mean, don't the companies' cards' always perform in reaching distance of each other? Like look at this year, at NVIDIA's midrange lineup. It's basically a...
