    Trouble with right front speaker: crackling/popping sounds

    Stole, thanks for the reply. It is onboard sound and my mobo is a Gigabyte P35-DS4 (Rev. 2). I called Best Buy and explained the whole thing to one of their Geek Guys. He said it sounds like it could be the onboard sound. Maybe one of the plugs is bad. I was thinking of just getting a cheap pair...

    Trouble with right front speaker: crackling/popping sounds

    I bought some Logitech Z506 surround speakers for my PC, but after hooking them up I found the front right speaker (the one with the thick black cord) was making a crackling/popping sound. So I took them back and got another set and the exact same speaker was again making a crackling/popping...

    Graphics Card w/HDMI for GA-P35-DS4 Mobo?

    I have a GA-P35-DS4 Rev. 2 motherboard and I'm wondering if there are any graphics cards I can get that would have an HDMI hookup? The graphics card I have now is nVidia GeForce 9600 GSO and the TV is a LG 24" flat panel. I just wanted to get an idea what graphics card (if any) I could get for...

    Q6600: So where's the power?

    Everyone says that I won't really notice a difference - speed wise - with my Q6600 because I'm not running any video editing or such which takes advantage of the four cores. My question is - is there a way that I can see the power of the Q6600 on my system and what would I need to do in order to...

    Acer AL1732 Prestige

    I discovered this monitor while doing a Google search. I was wondering if anyone owns this monitor? What do you think of it? How does it perform? It looks gorgeous, but I was unable to find one anywhere for sale.

    The 2007FPW is going for $369 with free shipping on the Dell site. Is there any way to tell if this is the S-IPS (LG.Philips) model before you buy it?

    The Official HP w2207/w2007 Thread

    Easy Duzit, thanks for the reply. I can't afford that much for a monitor, but how about the 2208WFP? It's currently going for $289 on the Dell site. A new wrinkle ... I just found out about 6bit and 8bit monitors. As a designer I would need an 8bit monitor, which translates into 8-12ms response...

    The Official HP w2207/w2007 Thread

    I built myself a new computer and decided to give my old one to my mom. She wasn't too sure about this at first, but now she's "totally geeked". She's spending a lot of time looking up the family's ancestry and searching for antique bottles (she used to collect antique bottles when she was...

    Need some advice on installing front fan on old Antec case?

    What card reader? "...use the 3 extra slots you will have to place a 120mm fan.." is a pretty lazy explanation. If you could elaborate on that reply with a little more details I would appreciate it.

    Multi-fan power port problem?

    I bought a Sunbeam multi-fan port to use with my 120mm fans so they aren't running off the MB (except for my CPU fan). My rear case fan was originally plugged into this header on my P35-DS4 (Rev2.1) board. I unplugged the fan and used a Rosewill 12" fan extension cable to run the rear...
