    Dual Monitor Help

    : GIGABYTE GA-Z97N Sorry for the lack of info, I thought it said the model in there. I thought it would run but Windows 8 is not detecting the second screen for some reason. Only the HDMI plugged into the gpu.

    I have two 24 inch led tv's. One is plugged into the HDMI port on my gpu, the other is plugged into an HDMI port on my motherboard. I realize that only one of the screens would be able to use the gpu but would I be able to run a second screen on the mobo's integrated graphics? Thanks! I'm...

    Online games with immersion? weird question I'm sure.

    Thank you for all the advice. It looks like I may have to try to make some real life friends...how awkward is that? With wife and child, it seems a tad weird to roam the streets of Phoenix saying " Hey you guys want to join my party? Yeah, we're going to play Baldur's Gate 2...yeah. Now...let's...

    Online games with immersion? weird question I'm sure.

    Thanks, are they action rpg-ish or click-to-move and turn based? I was contemplating trying TOR but I've had so many failed attempts at starting new games lately that I'm hesitant haha. Any thoughts on Torchlight 2? Or Diablo clones?

    Online games with immersion? weird question I'm sure.

    So I recently got back into PC gaming after a five year hiatus ( minus RTS games, because that's something I've done since I was a child fortunately ). Bought Guild Wars 2 because I really enjoyed the first one and thought it was very anti-MMO. Well, I did not enjoy GW 2 at all. I am not sure...

    Ripped DVD collection...

    Just ripped all my DVDs to a 1tb hard drive. For lack of a better way to explain myself, what is the easiest way to watch. Them on my tv now without an htpc?

    Gaming Laptop?...yes another thread

    Not sure what the specs on the Sager were but it was definitely what I wanted. I've been looking at the Lenovos and thus far they seem to be my best bet. There was also a 13'' from ibuypower.com I believe that had a great gpu ( forget the model and I am lazy ). Looking for that elsewhere and...

    Gaming Laptop?...yes another thread

    My last system was a MSI from XoticPC over a year ago. It died, a terrible death and just really wasn't the build quality I was looking for. Granted my budget of 1000 w/shipping doesn't leave much room for luxury. I am in the market for another laptop. Looking for whatever, 12''-17'' laptop...

    New to HTPC's...

    My family is in the market for an HTPC. I would be downloading movies and tv, and hope to watch them on the tv. I have been looking at the Eeeboxes from Asus and it seems like they would do the trick.I am absolutely not in the mood to build my own pc and in somewhat of a hurry as I have been...

    Haven't built a pc in a decade...let's do this!

    Understood on all accounts. If I am not water-cooling, what are the best cases for airflow? I honestly have no idea where to begin looking. The last time I built as SFF was when the xqpack was the greatest thing around and Shuttle still made gaming pc's. Absolutely no idea how to pick a case...

    Haven't built a pc in a decade...let's do this!

    Logged on for the first time in 8 years...nice to see things haven't changed. I am building this system over the course of a year or more while my 2 year old son watches.He is fascinated with me putting things together, be it Lego or furniture so I figured it would be a great time to build a new...
