    Steel Series Engine Problems

    Has anyone had very much trouble with the Steel Series Engine software? My Sensei raw works just fine on the windows drivers.....as soon as I load up the Steel series engine and set everything up the mouse becomes intermittent and starts to freeze up. Works for maybe one or two boots of my...

    Nostromo 52 replacement

    I'm looking to buy a Nostromo 52 replacement.....something with a D pad or quality thumbstick for movement as I never did like the keyboard much in FPShooters. The mouse is best for aiming. The new Razer Nostromo seems to get lackluster reviews so have looked at other options. I've narrowed...

    Painkiller worth getting?

    Is Painkiller worth getting? Or should I look into a more modern games like Doom 3? If so which version of Painkiller is the best. I see listed on Ebay the Black and Gold versions.

    Best Board for Wolfdale Penryn

    I'm getting the Penryn E8400 in January.....looks like the only Abit motherboards right now that support it in the Bios is the Abit IP35 Pro is that right? None of the other abit boards such as the IP-35E have Wolfdale and Yorksfield listed in the Bios updates. So unless they bring out an...

    AMD Venice 3800 to Intel 6750 duo core

    Thinking about upgrading my AMD venice single core 3800 to an Intel 6750 duo core. My question: what kind of frame rate increases will I get on games like Fear or some of the newer games coming out like COD4? I'm running a BFG 8800 GTS video card. If the benefits aren't too high I may just...

    Airflow direction on Lian 1100 and 2100 cases

    Converted my old Lian 2100 to a plus II.........noticed that airflow in their airflow examples shows air coming in the back of the case through the CPU aluminum duct. I've ran the main back fan as exhaust before .....so which way is the better route to go on these Lian cases? Exhaust the CPU air...

    Lian 2100 case with ThermalRight Heatsinks

    Anyone running the Lian 2100 case with any wide Thermalright heatsinks like the SI-120? The CPU/Video card aluminum heat divider will not work unless I go with the stock AMD heatsink in this Lian case....or a smaller one. I didn't use the heat divider in the case with my 7800gts and I think it...

    How is BFGs Lifetime Warranty?

    Is the company BFG pretty good about honoring their warranties or should I get New Eggs additional warranty of three years? Just placed an order for a BFG GTS 8800 640mg card. Didn't have luck with EVGs lifetime warranty program as they said my card had a slight chip on the edge. I didn't...

    Lian Li 2100 and 8800 GTS

    Have a Lian Li 2100 and getting a 8800 GTS BFG video card. I have the plus vertical fan for the top but cooling for this case has always been a concern as the CPU and ThermalRight Cooler sits right below the video card. Had a EVGA 7800 KO gts but it suffered a heat stroke which may or may not...

    BFG GeForce 8800GTS?

    Before I pull the switch....is this GTS a good deal? www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814143081 Can't decide whether to wait until around Oct-Dec or pull the switch on this one now. Plan on possibly upgrading to the Quad core late July when the price is below 300 and pair it...
