    Another new build

    I forgot to add I am using Ballistix crucial ram PC12800. I moved the ram and reduced it down to 1x4 opposed to 2x4gb. I tried a different power supply (corsair 650W). There was no change, except it seemed to go into short circuit protection instead of the brown out affect with the larger PSU...

    Another new build

    So I got the parts and built it. I went with the GA-Z77X-D3H mother board from gigabyte, the 22nm I5 processor, the gigabyte HD 7950, and kingston hyper X 250 gb HD, HCG-750 PSU. The cooler master hyper 212. There are some other spinning harddrives I kept in the system as well. This was all...

    Another new build

    I went ahead and purchased the PSU. I have looked at reviews on newegg for raid cards and there seems to be a lot of negative reviews for the cheaper (non server) cards. Storing more information on mechanical drives shouldn't require a lot out of raid card though. I may need to look for a...

    Toshiba is Done with Netbooks (in the US)

    This seems pretty sane actually. Looking at what newegg considers an ultra book, it looks like ultra books are a bit bigger than a net book, but with a faster mobile processor. They are booth computer that put light weight and aesthetics above functionality. Ultra books are more expensive for...

    Funny Letters in POST

    After a hard crash during TF2 that required a power restart I experienced the following problem: I see random letters during the POST. The Bios has them too. It looks like ASCII art (strange characters). During post several sceens are filled with them. I can't get into windows. It hangs and...

    The Best/Worst Box Arts of All Time

    Seeing megaman takes me back, I always liked this one because the box was in the shape of a grave. It also had a hologram, a far cry from the generic boxes nowadays. Did I mention the game came with a hardcover book?

    Blu Ray consumer player question

    I have a AV receiver that can pull music off my computer, however it is very slow (Dennon avr-3310ci). I don't have a stand alone CD player for the receiver. I pull .wav and mp3 files off my computer. I am considering getting on the blu ray bandwagon through a stand alone blu ray player...

    I want to do this the right way.

    Since it looks like no one has mentioned it yet: when you go to listen to nice speakers, the room and the receiver will have a huge affect on sound quality. Some of these high-end places have speakers that sound unbelievable, but they can have a 5K receiver/amplifier. A dedicated audition room...

    m audio AV40 makes bump sound with the sub when turning it off

    My Z5500's have done this for a long time (years) when the power is completely removed, and they are fine. I think its a large capacitor discharging.

    Are there any other space strategy games like MOO2?

    While the "just as good" is subjective, Ascendancy was a great game. I thought the tech tree was particularly nice since a lot of techs were very unique. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascendancy_(computer_game)

    dual montior questions

    I am considering another monitor to go with my 19" Viewsonic (VA902b) monitor. I played around a bit with dual monitors in XP, but I am using VISTA now. I was wondering about dual monitors with gaming. It is also probably relevant to mention I am using 64bit vista, Q6600, 4Gig ram, and a...
