    getting a home office pc to double as a gaming pc

    Got the pc in a few days ago, working as expected. Had to do some trial and error in Windows display configuration, got it going after some tinkering. Edit: Meant to ask something about the audio side. Is there any way to have both a standard analog output (goes to my office speakers) and...

    getting a home office pc to double as a gaming pc

    Hadn't thought of that...does the game have to have been purchased from Steam for that to work? I have a laptop pretty much permanently connected to the TV that should be more than enough to do streaming. Will have to check the speed of my network. It's wired but may be 100Mbit.

    getting a home office pc to double as a gaming pc

    Recently ordered a new pc for my home office and would like to also try and use it as an occasional gaming pc. Have two 1080p monitors in my office, both connected via DVI to my old pc. Also have a 1080p tv in my living room, would need a 25ft cable to connect it. The card in the new pc has...

    I wasn't sure if I should list both monitors, but for gaming purposes I'll only use one screen.

    So I am looking to get back into pc gaming, my current system has an AMD X2 at 2Ghz, 4GB RAM, HD2400 video card. I know I'll need to replace the video card...is there anything that y'all would recommend? Best I've come up with is a Radeon 5670, it's cheap and doesn't require external power (my...

    is it safe to use a fan with a bit more amperage?

    Thanks, was 95% confident but wanted to get some reassurance. For anyone with a similar concern and who happens across this thread: I've been running the fan in question for over a week now with no issues, been very stable.

    is it safe to use a fan with a bit more amperage?

    I have an old HD2400 videocard in a secondary system, recently the card's fan failed. The fan's sticker indicates it uses 0.08 amps. A spare fan that I happen to have is rated at 0.12 amps. Would it be safe to run the card with that extra bit of amperage being drawn? Power connector size is...

    ATI Radeon HD 3400 & HD 3600 Series Slide Deck @ [H]

    Disappointing that y'all aren't reviewing these cards. Not everyone wants loud $600 cards. These look ideal for HTPC use which is what I'm interested in. Hopefully some other site will have a review soon.

    Got my Westinghouse LVM-37W3 37" 1080p display today!

    For the faulty DVI port, does the source you used require HDCP? Only one of the 37W3's DVI ports has HDCP support. I've forgotten which one is which.
