    CRT whine

    Every now and then my monitor will start to emit an extremely high pitched whine that drives me crazy! I did some searching on google and it seems some monitors do exibit this type of behavior but near as I can tell there's no solution to this. Monitor in question is a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro...

    Choosing an ISP

    A friend of mine needs to choose an ISP and would prefer not to spend more than $10 a month. Now there's a ton of ISPs to choose from and I'm not sure which one I should go with. If someone could point me in the right direction to help her make a good choice it would be appreciated...

    Gigabyte's silent X800

    How hot does it get? I've read several reviews of it and while they say it gets "hot" they don't say how hot and if its too hot. My computer typicly has an ambient temprature of 35-40C (according to my FX5900). The gpu (with a LOUD fan, which is why I'm considering this silent option) is...

    MSI x800 $165 after MIR

    Newegg has this: MSI x800 for 165 after a $30 Mail-in Rebate. I will also be purchasing (once I decide on a graphics card) an Venice 3000+ AMD64 in a DFI Lanparty Ultra-D. Is this a good deal? (x800 vanilla @ 6600GT price?) Also, does anyone know anything about this card? Noise? My current...

    Which video card

    There's an OEM X800 for $189 which is not too much more than the Leadtek 6600GT at $169 that I was planning to get. Will the X800 be any kind of significant boost? EDIT - One thing I forgot to mention was this was a 128MB model of an X800 which is probably why it is a lot cheaper. Pretty...
