Hey guys, I just finished building a brand new system with: -Antec CP-850 power supply -Asus P7P55D Motherboard -Intel Core i5-750 -Cooler Master Hyper 212 -Sapphire Radeon 5770 Vapor-X I plugged everything in but my computer won't start. There is only a click and the fans won't power...

Hey I bought one extra fan for my p183 but I also have a cooler master Hyper 212 cooler which allows for an extra fan on the CPU cooler. Should I put the extra fan in the front of the case or on the heatsink? Which provides better cooling?

I do a lot of audio engineering, and I'm wondering which new CPU has the best value for Cubase or Pro Tools. Any opinions?

Sorry, I can see why there is confusion, let me clarify. I want to keep all my music, videos, documents, and large ISO files, etc. These files take up 500+ gigs, and I don't have an external HD that big to back EVERYTHING up. However, on the same partition I have programs installed that I want...

This may be a stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway. I'm installing Windows 7, and I want to start completely "fresh". I have a 20 gig Vista partition now, and 2 other partitions with 500+ gigs of files, including programs and games, etc. If I wipe the Vista partition, install Windows 7, and...

It's really annoying, but there really isn't anything that comparable around $400. 99% of panels now are TN panels. If you're the least bit discerning, you'll notice a difference. On a TN, the colour and contrast changes if you lean back in your chair or move a bit. Look on craigslist for Dell...

There are a bunch of cases I'm interested in, such as the Cooler Master RC-690, but I hate LEDs (to me its like the tech equivalent of 'bling'). Is there a way of disabling the LED on the fan, or can you replace the fan with a non-LED one?

Hey guys, I'm really looking to combat dust in my next build. Ideally, every air intake would have a filter so I would just have to wash the filters every once in a while and not worry about dust at all. Please try to suggest cases under $200 please, but any mention is good. Thanks.

Argh, I hate it when a company brings out something so glorious and then announces a ludicrous price tag: $700. Can't they use cheaper materials, keep the same design and price it lower?

Well I'm not going to neuter my system in order to make it use less energy. Going green means more efficiency and less waste, not less performance.

Thanks guys, I guess I won't skimp on the wattage. I'll get a 650 to 750 watt PSU for my Core i7 and Radeon 5870 build.

I'm trying to 'go green' with my next PC build, and I've calculated that I'll be using less than 500 watts in my build. However, I'd rather buy a higher wattage power supply to be safe. My question: Does buying a higher wattage power supply mean that you are using more power, or can it just...

Can someone simplify this for me? I'm going to be buying a new mobo, CPU, and RAM soon and I want to jump on things at the most effective time. 32nm is no doubt the future, but will this require a new motherboard? I don't want the motherboard to be obsolete in less than a year's time. I was...

Mid-tower, and are cases with dust filters common?

Which PC Case is the cleanest in terms of dust. Perhaps a case that pushes dust towards a dust filter of some sort. Would prefer if the case didn't look like an LED alien-thing too.
