Thank you guys, I feel a lot better spending a few extra bucks to make this thing gamable. I mean good for working from home. I really appreciate the knowledge of people who know what they're talking about. :)

It's got two pci-e 16x slots. 475W power supply. I hadn't googled the specs before your post, seems like it's a pretty beefy pc. Specs here.

I'm a very cheap guy, and was asked if I wanted a retired workstation - it's a Xeon W3565 (3.2ghz), 8gb ram, but the video card is garbage. PCI card (not PCI-E, just PCI) I have been out of the PC building game for a very very long time. I'm wondering if this machine is worth throwing a...

I am itching to put together an mITX haswell pc, and waiting for the Asus motherboards to arrive has me keeping a close eye on all the local stores. Today I noticed a new board that I've not seen before - the Z87i-Pro Is this a new board? Or just the European version of the Z87i-Deluxe...

All I have access to is 400, and the minimum my board will run with apparently is 533 (per ASUS's website). I don't have anything else to work with though. It's good samsung memory, I was hoping a small overclock might be possible, but I have no idea how realistic that is.

I'm trying to narrow down some problem hardware, with as little RMAing hardware as possible. My system was stable for ~2 months. Then, last week, I started getting some system instability. My HDD was getting corrupt files, so I checked that out. Nothing out of the ordinary (seagate drive...

I searched a bit, but I'll still probably get mocked horribly for being too incompetent to use the "search" button..... but there you go, and here we are: I just got a Stacker T01 case, and have a ton more space for fans. So I'd like to add some. My PC is in my room (where I sleep), so...

I'm trying to figure out if this is a really bad idea or not. Basically, I want to add a file server to my home network (2-3 machines accessing it at once, serving/recording media/data) but I want it to be expandable. Say, I start out with a RAID5 array in software, running under linux. I...

Are any of these good for us lefties? That Razer Habu mouse looks universal, but apparently some buttons make it righty only? I HATE having such a limited selection in good left handed mice. I have an old MS mouse that looks a lot like these, but it's showing its age, and I'd like to line...

What about a 1950xtx crossfire, and a vanilla 1900xtx? Will they cohabitate at all?

I need advice and fast - I ordered a 1900xtx YESTERDAY. 479 + $150 rebate (there's been a thread about it)... I *had* previously been set on ATI, but I'm not really a hardware loyalist, so I'm trying to figure out if this new GTO is worth paying a restocking fee for. 250 vs 329 is still 79...

Looks good to me, but I can't seem to find that coupon anywhere.. are they commonly available?

With the x1950xtx release driving down the prices of the last generation cards, I'm seeing a lot of good deals on the x1900xtx. I just want to check my logic before I pick up a x1900xtx at these new lower prices. The major (by major, I mean "real world") differences between the two cards...

The deal is dead. My order yesterday was accepted, they billed my CC, and today I got an email saying it was cancelled. The link to the product in the original post no longer works as well. Just a heads up.

I was hoping for something in the 4-600 range, without a monitor. Considering it's really just for WoW and maybe The Sims 2, a beefy videocard is far from required. As long as it has the slots for it, upgrading to more than 512 ram to a gig can be done later too. It's not for an enthusiast by...
