    Media Computer for Family

    There's onboard video? Didn't even know. It seems like a waste of a 6850, especially since utilities are included in her rent. I'm using one of the Velocity Micro Lian Lis, full sized ATX.

    I don't see why not... I assume I'd be using the stock Intel cooler?

    Media Computer for Family

    Hey guys, I haven't been in the computer scene since Core 2 Duos were the hot stuff, and everyone was trying to overclock their C2D 6400 Conroes... anyways, I have a build question. I need a motherboard, RAM, and CPU (and cooler) for a general use computer running Windows 7 for my mother. I...

    Battlefield 3 General Discussion Thread

    No issues with disconnection here, the game apart from the crappy UI has been a blast. For some reason I've really been going to my sidearm- Nice to see it's actually useful. (Ran out of rounds in my M16 as I was storming the subway station escalator, pulled my Glock and dropped a good 4-6 guys...

    Video Card for Early 2007 Computer

    So an update on what I eventually did. Got an amazing steal on a XFX Radeon HD 6850 Pro which I might pull over to a new system, and an Kingston V+100 SSD. Popped in 4 gigs of RAM, and pushed my overclock to 3 Ghz. For video editing, design work, and moderate gaming, it should last me a couple...

    I know, it was just a weird observation.

    Video Card for Early 2007 Computer

    strangest thing here... a 260 is about 100 dollars more than a 460, at least brand new in Toronto.

    Video Card for Early 2007 Computer

    This PSU's a OCZ GXS700... I thought they were made by the same company that made Corsair's? It's been in a gaming rig of my friend's for two years, he just recently upgraded to a 1KW PSU. Ah, that throws a wrench into my plans.

    Video Card for Early 2007 Computer

    I'm Canadian... but the ASUS 460 card posted earlier is 162 on Newegg's Canadian site. I might grab that then, especially if it drops to 142 CAD due to a 20 dollar rebate. Do I need to upgrade my 500W PSU or is it capable of handling the card?

    Video Card for Early 2007 Computer

    To be honest, I haven't tried OCing my CPU past 2.66... wasn't sure how much my RAM could handle. It's DDR2-667. I would have gone for the 7900 GS, but the ATi was cheaper for better performance. I'm looking to spend a max of 200 dollars.

    Video Card for Early 2007 Computer

    So, as listed in my signature, is my trusty Velocity Micro computer. It's been through a lot, and I haven't asked for much more from it. I might toss some extra ram in there, as 2GB might be a bit anemic, but eh. However, what I've been noticing lately is that my X1950 Pro (One of the ATI ones)...

    Multiroom Output (Cheap Amp)

    Well, it's outside, so audio doesn't need to be that loud to cover the 20x20 patio.. But as long as I can hook the wires up to the device, then it should be okay. 129 seems pretty pricy, given I could get a stereo with line in for a bit less.

    Multiroom Output (Cheap Amp)

    Before we start, let me completely state that I feel like a retard at the moment and am out of my element. A buddy of mine is working on a restaurant. He wants to have sound from his personal collection on his iPod playing in the dining area. Also, he has a TV mounted facing out towards the...
