    Intel P35 or the X38?

    I'm currently contemplating doing a new build, since my old AMD 64 S939 3500+ build is getting long in the tooth. As of now, I'm leaning towards a P35-based build, but with the upcoming launch of X38, should I delay my build and just wait until September? I know for certain that some of...

    Would the fan fit?

    I'm considering getting the Antec P182, but after watching the 3DGameman review of the case, I'm was wondering if the middle hard drive cage's little fan bracket for a 120mm fan would work on a P182. Judging by the Newegg photos it would seem like it would fit...do any of you guys know?

    Does a good 22 inch 8-bit monitor exist?

    I'm going to be upgrading soon, switching out my ancient 19'' Viewsonic CRT monitor for something a bit more sleek and recent. I was thinking about going for a new monitor somewhere between 22-24 inches, which definitely has to be widescreen. So I was wondering-does a good true 8-bit 22-inch...

    Keyboard is messing up

    Last night, I did something really stupid. So I was drinking a cup of water and had put the cup too close to my keyboard. I reach over to grab something, and when I turned back, my elbow had accidently knocked the cup onto the keyboard, and water had soaked into it. I wiped off what I could...
