    Compact Student Home Build

    They still haven't processed my orders to ship yet. So it's still in the limbo stage. I think...

    Compact Student Home Build

    1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Word, Photoshop, CS:S, TF2, L4D2, and other basic games. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? No more than 600. Less is better. 3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state...

    13sec delay before POST beeps.

    I'm going crazy right now trying to figure out what happened with my motherboard. Long story short, my MSI Z68A-GD65 board was blinking its BIOS light telling me that my primary BIOS had failed and that it was booting of the secondary BIOS. After searching all of the internet, I first...

    SSD rails?

    Cool. Good point on damaging other components.

    SSD rails?

    Is there any reason why one would need rails? I mean, if it's an SSD, couldn't you theoretically leave it hanging until (if) you can buy rails? It's not like a traditional HDD, so I suspect there wouldn't be any serious issues, except aesthetics...

    Is it always the best idea to choose Microcenter over Newegg?

    It's generally cheap if you are only buying a processor by itself. However, I've found that for 99% of my purchases, if I can get free shipping from newegg, it is cheaper to get it from newegg. The lack of tax and shipping + combo deals (cpu+mobo), will usually allow you to get things cheaper...

    ASUS K53SV or ASUS N53SV

    I'm looking to buy a new laptop soon. I've looked at everything from Sager to MSI 16F2 to the ASUS lines. Because I don't feel like paying for a custom built or what not laptop, I think the ASUS line of computers will fit me just fine. A little about usage, I am college student who watches a...

    To Upgrade or To Not Upgrade

    Apparently, the global and us sites are different. http://www.msi.com/product/mb/K9A2-Platinum.html#?div=CPUSupport And people on the internet seems to do it... no?

    To Upgrade or To Not Upgrade

    http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-MSI/K9A2_Platinum_(MS-7376).html <-- Am I reading it wrong? I thought BIOS updates allowed AM3 Processors to run... if not, it's not a big deal. The Mobo was free.

    To Upgrade or To Not Upgrade

    Realized I had a AMD Mobo as well. MSI K9A2 Platinum and a X4 9850 Processor. And if I'm reading the updates properly, I can run a 1055T, 1090T or X4 965BE on this motherboard. Does this change things? The motherboard would also use DDR2 RAm. Also, for clarification, I am currently running...

    To Upgrade or To Not Upgrade

    The PSU is a "Thermaltake Purepower W0121RU 600W". Is the RU different from the RX? Should I still replace it? I'll probably pick up the HDD and SDD as recommended. I'm hesitant to spend more on ram. DDR2 is obsolete and considering I've already sold 12GB worth of DDR2 when the market...

    To Upgrade or To Not Upgrade

    Should I use the mATX Asus Mobo or the ATX Gigabyte Mobo. Maybe upgrade the GPU? SSD? Could I realistically keep this computer until the next socket after Sandy Bridge? Maybe even longer? Also, I have the Conroe C2D. I feel like spending 100+ dollars on a better 775 CPU would be...

    To Upgrade or To Not Upgrade

    Considering if I should switch to Sandy Bridge. What I have now works, but I figure, if I am going to upgrade, it might as well be now. What I'm thinking is getting Microcenter - 2500k - $190 Newegg - Asus P8P67 Pro and 8GB Gskill - $236 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming...
