    Installing HIS x1950pro AGP with ICEQ cooler

    I recently bought this card used from a fellow ATer. The card works, but the fan on the cooler doesn't spin up at all, and am looking for troubleshooting steps/advice. I wasn't sure if perhaps I've missed a connection or something. My power supply is a new ThermalTake 430q. The only other...

    Worth waiting for Black Friday for an HDTV this year?

    I know it's early, but curious if anyone has any insights or guesses yet as to whether the holiday shopping season will be worth waiting for this year? Our primary TV, a 6 yr old 32" Toshiba CRT died out this week. I had hoped to get another year before switching to HD, but I find myself...

    Best video card deal ~ $200 at a retail chain right now...

    Sorry if this doesn't belong in video, but wasn't sure where to put it. Through a series of unlikely events, I find myself with a comparatively large (for me) window of free time this weekend, in which I'm hoping to get some Half life 2 action. Unfortunately, this is forcing my hand on my...

    Does a Gunman Chronicles CD KEY== a Counter Strike CD KEY???

    Does anyone know if I can use a gunman cdkey for my counterstrike installation, and use it to play online? My kids lost the Jewel Case (no, really, they did!) to my Retail CounterStrike. I figure the only feasible thing to do is purchase another copy of SOMETHING. And, since Gunman can be had...

    Removing a Taisol CGK w/phase change material.

    Ok, My processor and MB got here a couple of days early. So, of course, like any good geek, I am anxious to rip into them and get my system running. My question is that I haven't gotten any defogger kit yet, and don't think I'll have time to stop tonight and get any. If I install the...

    Question about fan voltage (12v vs 5v)

    Fixing up my fans last night, noticed that they didn't seem to blow fully when they were plugged red-red blk-blk (12-12, gnd-gnd). Noticed that the case fan that came with my case was spliced into yellow (5v?), so moved the 12v (red) to the yellow, and left the blk where it was. Worked much...

    Anyone heard of Enermax 251PV-B ps?

    I am looking for a ps for my new system. Saw an Enermax 251PV-B for a good price at computer123, so was thinking about picking it up.

    What is negative/positive pressure for airflow?

    I am going to add a fan to my new case in the back, but I want to get rid of the &quot;holes&quot; that they have back there, and just slap a grill on it. What should I use to remove the metal back there? Keep in mind, don't have a dremel. <EDIT> Changed Title since the cutting situation...

    Which 92mm fan: Sanyo Denki or Panaflo L1A?

    Ok, getting a 92mm fan for the front of my case from 2cooltek. I know the Panaflo is really quiet,27dba, and moves a decent amount of air, 42cfm. The Sanyo moves lots more air around,55 cfm, but has a noise rating of 36dba. I've heard that despite the 36dba, the sanyo is actually really...

    Quiet Dvd Rom

    Looking for a new DVD drive for a system I am building. I want something that is decently quiet when playing DVD so that it won't be too frustrating in the living room. I'm not really worried about the noise when it is acting as a data drive. Was thinking about a pioneer 10x (heard they are...

    Help, confused about video capture.. Radeon AIW or 64....

    Ok, I've read all of the stuff going on here about how the Radeons don't support VfW, etc... That's not really the crux of my question. Basically, what I want to be able to do is take 8mm home movies from my camcorder onto my system to clean them up a bit, then push them back out to 8mm or VHS...
