I have a Corsair CMPSU-520HX PSU that I have been using regularly in my main rig since 3/3/2009. I recently upgraded my system from an x58 board to a 4Ghz 4790K board. Everything seems to be working fine and handles well, but I upgraded because the old pieces were going on 6 years old. So...

I have an i7 950 cpu, but its been quite a while so I was looking at the Intel Core i7-4790K an 1150 based system. I would only add new cpu, mobo, and ram and reuse the rest of my components. That being said, if I'm not getting a really noticeable performance boost its not worth it to me...

I'm fed up with my speakers falling apart. I had the klipsch promedia 2.1 and they were great, except I eventually ran into the loose/din problem. The I went to Bose(i know) companions 2.1 and they sound good to me; but now the stupid din on the sub is doing the same crap. After looking...

Tmobile and Samsung are taking their sweet time on getting an update for the lesser known phones in the Galaxy S II lineup. Such as the Teleus T989D, Skyrocket, and the Tmobile Hercules SGH-T989. If your tired of carriers dragging their feet and feeling like a second class citizen, please...

I had a hard time tracking down anyone that could provide a bench and their results so I thought I would do the courtesy for others that may be interested. This is using a Crucial M4 128Gb SSD Firmware:09, AHCI Mode I benched with and without the Intel RST driver and in this case it actually...

As background I'm a heavy PC user for work and fun. I have used a OCZ Vertex 60Gb SSD over the years and lately have been thinking of upgrading for more capacity. I do have secondary drives and such, but its just so nice having all the software on the ssd. Anyways I have had a pretty good...

Hi all, so I just noticed very small audio stuttering when playing back my mp3's. System specs are in my sig, but this is no slouch computer. I have no audio lag in games or movies, netflix etc... I have a large mp3 collection and I use Aimp 2.61 583 on windows 7 64bit. Audio is 24bit 48Khz...

I do some gaming, lots of photoshop and work (programming/design). Gonna be hitting blackops hard in November. The idea is to recycle most of my hardware, but just switch out MB,CPU, & RAM. Can you check my stuff, I should be good with my current ps right? New parts: Asus Sabertooth X58...

So I'm thinking of upgrading my main rig. I'm on a Phenom II 940 3.0Ghz Quadcore. I play some games(COD,BCB2), lots of photo editing, sometimes 3D animation etc... I recently put in a Geforce 470, but didn't get the boost I thought I would and consensus was I was processor limited. Here's...

Hi All, Easy question, I want to hook up my LCD tv to my computer through the HDMI. My card appears to have two DVI adapters and a some kind of hdmi as well. Do I need some adapter or is this a regular hdmi hookup that just looks small?

So I have been a long time user of HTPC I prefer atoms or ultra low power... Long story short, I wanted to try a modern LCD vs my old Samsung plasma workhorse. I couldn't believe it, but the new LCD's finally hold up and surpass plasmas. Anyways the reason I'm sharing is this tv has built...

Is this game any good, it looks interesting. Only $15 bucks, I'm burnt out of COD/ MW2 etc....

So I run the MB in my sig, I currently keep it oc'ed to 3.4Ghz full time with water cooling, but even with my GTX 470 it still seems a little slow in some games(FPS). Could my cpu/motherboard be holding back my 470? If so should I upgrade the whole board, or just pop in a six core? Also how...

So a while back I built my HTPC using an Atom 330 Ion system. It has been running like a champ for me so far. However I have been getting annoyed with a buzzing coming from my audio system. Now I know realize this was dumb but I was running a vga cable into my tv and a simple stero 3.5mm...

So I have been playing a lot of Battlefield 2 bad company. With my specs below...except I came from a Geforce GTX 260 core 216. It ran pretty much okay, but I liked to turn everything up to high at 1920x 1080 with at least 2xAA. The 260 definitely struggled there and would often times get too...

Looking to trade for a nexus one or android phone. Phone is in mint condition fully functioning - I just learned too late I don't like windows mobile. Let me know if your interested needs to be a comparable phone not something outdated.

Hi All, I have been drooling over the HTC HD2 for quite a while now. They are working on getting my account updated for full-upgrade but the phones are super scarce out here in AZ. So I'm thinking I could just add a line and get the phone, and ditch my old one in another four months. I end...

So I recently transferred but was not able to take my current system with me. So I inherited a IBM 622321U Intellistation Pro Z. Its got dual 3.6ghz xeon's 2gig DDR2 PC3200 and an Nvidia Quadro FX-1300, some maxtor 80gig system drive and a terrabyte storage drive. Now I had a Dell 755 with...

Asus atom 330 Ion build. I recently picked up this new board for my HTPC rebuild. I reused ram, case, powersupply, and remote. Runs great under Win 7 64bit. Most especially I installed the new Flash 10.1 beta 2 plugin and it streams every HD stream I have tried silky smooth even through...

What kind of panel is this using? I'm guessing its not a TN based on the price and viewing angle? Trying to figure out if there is anything remarkable about it, or if its just remarkably overpriced. LG W2241T-PF Sale = $255 Link to view at BB

Picked up a LG w2253TQ 21.5'' $189.99 Came from a Westinghouse LCM-20v5 20'' $270 years ago I was thinking of going bigger like 23'' but not sure my rig could hold up gaming at those resolutions. I don't need more real estate just wanted better colors, and less eye strain....the...

Hey guys, I searched through the forums for info on Atom 330 builds. I'm interested in building a small pc around the Atom for use with my HDTV's particularly for Netflix streaming and Hulu watching... I dont plan on necessarily streaming 1080p or anything like that my TV could only handle 720p...

I thought I would post this in case it might help anyone else out there in a similar situation or just to be aware of. So I picked up an EVGA Geforce 260 Core 216 SC card. The initial gameplay FPS was outstanding, it did put out some major heat though. Eventually I noticed in COD5 I would get...

I have been running Vista fine for a couple weeks now, and low and behold my second internal hard drive as well as my DvD drive and my NAS have all disappeared. I can't see them in Explorer or my Computer. If I go into Computer Management I can see the drives in there and even right click and...

I was a beta tester of Vista and still run rc2 on my Turion laptop. The laptop does okay, but I figured Vista would surely run really well to pretty well on my desktop. XP screams on my desktop. While Vista Ultimate, I just found myself waiting, lots of HD grinding. I mean aero is nice...
