    WTB single slot PCI-E GPU <$50

    Hi there, I'm looking to purchase a new or used single slot GPU for hopefully less than $50. The onboard GPU on one of my desktops has recently been giving me artifacts, so I need something to drop in to replace it. This is not for gaming, strictly just for web browsing/youtube so a powerful...

    Going to college in a couple of years, need some help from you guys.

    Thanks for all the responses. I never knew that degrees werent even that important. Though, I'm still going to get one. Is computer science pretty much the encompassing degree? Or should I go for one more specialized on my interests?

    Building a New Computer for a Friend

    A friend asked me about building a computer for him. I asked him for a general budget, and he told me ~$3500. Though it can be anywhere around there. Even though he has that budget, I'm not really trying to spend it all. Right now, he has a Dell XPS that was very good for the time. I dont...

    Is there a good triple monitor stand for 3 - 24" ?

    I'm also looking into this. I Think im just gonna go with 3x Monoprice. Its cheaper, and you can move the monitors more. http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=109&cp_id=10828&cs_id=1082808&p_id=6421&seq=1&format=1#largeimage

    Currently, I have this nice little WHS server. It does backups for all the computers in the house, as well as operating as a NAS and a small minecraft srever. It has dual core CPU with 4GB RAM. However, I wanted to expand, so I got an AMD FX-8320, and 32GB of memory. I plan to run an ESXi...

    Is this even possible?

    Awesome, thanks for the quick reply. And would it have any effect if I passed a video card to the VM that I am using? or would that not really make a difference And does this full screen console support multiple monitors? does vnc?

    Is this even possible?

    There's probablly a name for this, I just don't know exactly what it is called. I just ordered parts for an ESXi whitebox. It has 8 cores, and 32GB RAM, so it should have plenty of performance for what I need it for. Something I want to do on it, is test out linux distros/play around with...

    How does my build look?

    What cheapish, but good fan, would you recommend? I want to put 2 intake fans in the case? This will be in my room, and its gonna be on while I sleep, so they have to be quiet. And I need to order from newegg EDIT: The front panel takes 120mm fans

    How does my build look?

    Ive looked at both cases in pictures and reviews. They both seem to only come with 2 fans. Am I missing something?

    How does my build look?

    The reason I chose the 220, is because the entire front panel is meshed. Which I imagine is much better for airflow
