    Recommendation for gaming on the go

    So, I just took a job where I'll be spending about 50% of my work week in a city four hours north of where I live. Given that I'll be living in a hotel for 2-3 nights a week for about 18-24 months, I figure it's time to look at some kind of mobile gaming rig (SFF or laptop). I'll be driving to...

    Games suddenly unplayable

    I just built a computer for myself and everything has been working fine for about two weeks, and as of yesterday I can no longer play anything. The graphics are incredibly choppy, regardless of what resolution I choose or graphics settings I choose. This is a fresh computer, and all I've...

    Issue with new build

    I completed a new build last night, but something seems to be wrong. It seemed to be fairly slow while installing Windows 7, and eventually bluescreened once immediately after I selected which update settings to use for the computer. I was able to complete the Windows installation after that...

    Suggestions, please

    I'm putting together a computer for my brother, as his current computer has recently died. Currently I'm going with: Seagate 320GB HD eVGA 8800GT 512MB Antec EA500 Patriot 2GB DDR2 800 C2D E6750 (Is the jump to the E6850 enough performance wise to justify the $80 price difference?)...

    Building a PC, suggestions?

    I hope this is the right section, and I'm sure many people post threads like this so I'm sorry for yet another one. Recently my system has been showing its age (AXP 1900+, 512MB ram, 9700 Pro), and by recently I mean for the past few years. But lately I've been getting all sorts of random...

    Upgrading from 9700 Pro

    So after four years my graphics card is finally nearing death and since the rest of the system is running fine, I'd prefer not to just dump it. Anyway... The processor is a XP1900+, and I'm eyeing the X850Pro at the moment. I'd prefer not to spend too much on it, but I also don't want...

    My dad is looking to get an external HD, can anyone tell me brands to stay away from or tell me their experiences with them?

    Recommendations on laptops

    My parents have offered me a laptop for graduating from university, so I've been running around to various websites checking out prices and what's available. Through my dad's work I can get a discount on Dell, though I don't know how much. At any rate, I was looking and found that the...

    Suggestions on motherboards

    I've been out of the PC loop for a few years. But anyway, recently my 9700Pro is dying and I'm currently looking at getting a 7600GT, at which point I need a motherboard that supports PCI-E. I was looking at getting a 2800+-3000+ and spend maybe $70 or so on a motherboard, but don't know which...
