I look for efficiency and durability in a power supply!

I'm thinking about replacing the rear fan of my Gigabyte Poseidon GZ-XA1CA-STS, as it only spins at 1000rpm. However, it is fastened to the case with some sort of plastic rubber thing, that looks like its one time use. Anyone familiar with this case, or with fan fasteners? I'd like to remove...

I think I bought that lamp at Meijer in 2004. Maybe I should take better care of it since its such a hot item!

Thought I'd share my setup as well. Recently bought 2 2007FP's to flank my 3007WFP. Enjoy!

Thanks for all the replies! I ended up getting a pci card (35 bucks) since the pciex1 cards all seem to be double or more. I thought about modding the 7 series card but being in an apt, I don't have the tools that can cut PCB. Hope it doesn't lag! Will post some pics of my setup in the...

Actually that was what I was suggesting, after reading some descriptions of ppl doing it. Anyone have experience with this? With all the crazy setups here, i'm sure someone has some more experience with getting their third monitor going (without multiple pciex16 slots)

I just realized i have a 7800gt lying around. Will that work in an x1 slot?

Hi Guys, Just ordered 2x 2007fps to flank my 3007wfp. I'm currently using a gtx285 to drive the 30", which is fine for my needs. I'm not looking to play games on all 3 screens (using the side screens for non game stuff while in-game). If i were to try it, i know xfinity won't work with...

I'd put up the money for a ventrilo server. That's what I did back in the WoW days anyways. The hard thing is with these fps games, there isn't a place to queue up like there is in WoW where everyone is logged on all the time. Anyways, I play the following: TF2 WC3 - Mostly DotA Civ4 - BTS

Since you are the one to respond to my post, I'm going to direct this towards you. I agree with you here, you are not in the wrong, or being a douchebag. I think the sticking point that the buyer has with you is that intentional or not, (clearly it wasn't intentional, and I believe you), it...

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say something paritally in support of eclypse. While I do think that "legally", the seller does not need to return any of the money, there was a little misrepresentation/deception going on. It may not have been intentional, it may have been, I don't...

The 1600 DOES support clearQAM. I'm using it for clearQAM broadcasts exclusively. Also if you're in need of pvr software, check out gbpvr (gbpvr.com). Completely free!

I'm building a NAS box and wanted some advice on which of these platforms to use. I've read about some problems with data recovery with freenas but the pages were 1 year old. Do these problems still exist? Is there any advantage to using openfiler or naslite? Openfiler is 3rd choice for me...

Well my opinion differs a little (or a lot) from the previous poster, but we're both entitled to our own opinions. I bought a 24" dell about a year and a half ago. I was moving to it from a 17" LCD. At first I thought it was the best! It felt really big, and the new widescreen aspect ratio...
