    How is this for a cheap budget build?

    8800GT overclocking- Vista 64????

    Atitool is all greyed out and won't allow me to change anything. I've been digging around the past couple of days since I got a new card and so far I cannot find anything explaining exactly what is needed to OC in vista 64.

    Quick tv tuner question- saphire 650 hd

    I was looking into the ati 650 pro pci for a friend and then saw this card listed on the egg: Saphire 650 LITE It's a lite retail and the only thing I can tell that is not included would be the remote. I'm thinking for about half the price of an ati branded card this one would be perfect...

    Trying to find OC settings for a friend

    I don't know too much about oc'ing the quad core cpus and how the numbers work with the fsb and multipliers. He was telling me settings and the numbers are alien to me for some reason. Was hoping someone could post up some bios setting so I can get him headed in the right direction with his...

    Anyone have experience with the SilenX Ixtrema Pro 120mm case fans?

    Trying to increase the airflow in my case for better cooling. I noticed that the two coolermaster fans that came stock with the 4-3 cages don't really move that much air. So I'm in the market for a few 120mm fans. These looked like they could do a good job, but before I buy anything I wanted...

    Fan controller?

    I'm looking for a decent fan controller that will fit in a 5 1/4 bay. Right now I have my hsf, vga cooler and rear exhaust fan all hooked up to fanmates. They work great, but its a pain in the arse to change the speeds. I was going to route them out of my case, but that will look sloppy. I'd...
