How often do you replace your surge protector, if at all? (Other than direct lightning strikes or anything.)

Hey guys! I'm back for more. Please help >_< I am having monitor problems. The monitor resets (turns off and on) randomly. I posted in displays : http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1032229935#post1032229935 But related to power: I have a good Belkin Surgemaster surge...

((Monitor flicks off and on. Surge protector? Unsettling problem...)) How are you gentlemen! It's been a while ^_^ Thanks for your help like 2 years ago, you helped me build an awesome system for the hubby! Right now I have a problem where my monitor at random times turns itself off...

Thanks for your help!! Everything is going great now, finally! It took a few tries to get the installation of drivers done right, but the guide at Sudhian Forums SN25P guide was exactly what I needed. The Shuttle was shockingly easy to build. The instructions could've been followed by a...

Hahahhaa I don't know where they keep chicks like me...if you find any, send them my way coz I need female friends who like the same stuff I do! ;)

Thanks, Homer, I appreciate it a lot. That will get me exactly where I need to be when the parts get here. 3 days! :D BTW...I splurged on it and went with the 150 GB 10,000 RPM 16 MB Cache WD Raptor drive >_<

My hubby wants to go with the Shuttle SN25P so that settles it, considering it does in fact accept what I want to give it. My last question is: Is stock cooling good enough? And what kind of thermal paste should I buy?

Thank you SO much for your info about the Ideq. I hadn't seen anyone else with an x2 in a 330P. What did this part mean though? What won't fit? I plan on a eVGA 7800 GT and I want to be SURE it fits before I get anything!

My final set of parts is: CPU: AMD X2 4400+ (the 4600 doesnt seem to have the full 2k MHz FSB!??:confused: ) RAM: 2 GB Corsair XMS HDD: 74 GB Raptor 10,000 RPM 8MB Cache VID: eVGA 7800 GT (not going to worry about SLI till later on, would rather have a single high end vid card for now...)...

Good point on the splurging call... I tend to feel that buying the NEW thing out isn't worth the extra dough...it's quite a jump in price. As for the X2 4400 or higher, which is where I would begin due to the FSB 1000MHz, what kind of PSU should I be looking for? I am worried that even the...

Hello, I am new here but this seems like the place to ask for good advice! I am building a new pc for my husband. He is into gaming and will eventually do SOME programming on it (C++ and .net school stuff). He doesn't multitask much at all but still runs into lagginess on his current...
