    Really want to build a new system....

    Can't figure out which mainboard to buy to save my life. I have been reading reviews and forums for days. Several boards look good but all seem to have some major flaw according to the reviewer/poster. I want to use: Element S Case GTX295 Viewsonic 28" LCD - might add a second one at...

    Need to get a new game.

    I played Q3 Excessive online for years. These days with family, job and second job responsibilities I don't really have the time to master online deathmatch twitch games. ;o{ I guess I like corridor fps type games like Q4. Rickman

    Display Choice Help

    Running in my system with the Westinghouse and I can see that the card is taxed a bit more at 1920x 1080 than at 1280x1024. Its not awful but now its a point for upgrade when the next deal comes along. I would guess that a Dell 30" would really require a top of the line video board between...

    It takes 2-3 days to get store delivery. If their website has the $75 off sale they will match it if you ask. Rickman

    Firing Squid Wastes their Ink

    I prefer apples to apples settings to evaluate hardware. IMO the "what is the max AA/resolution settings that give playable framerates" is highly subjective to the reviewers opinion and results in graphs that are less than optimal at imparting information. Rickman

    I've Been Out Of The SFF Arena For A Long Time, What's Good Nowadays?

    Looks like in these forums more folks run Q-XPack based MATX systems than Shuttles these days. I had several Shuttle systems a couple of years back and got tired of the proprietary nature of Shuttle parts. Rickman

    Some Qpack questions and ned some feedback also

    The stock QPack power supply might run that without a problem. I have a QPack with 7800GT, 1GB Ram, 2 WD 250GB Sata in a Raid 0 config, floppy and DVD drive and it runs fine on the stock P/S. I did pop the front cover off and tape over the prongs on the on/off switch that can make contact with...
