    GTS 450 from 9800 GTX+/GTS 250?

    I saw a nice deal at Microcenter so I jumped on a GTS 450 for my family's computer (just so I can game over the holidays). I currently have a 9800 GTX+ in my computer; is there any point to swapping the GTS 450 in or should I just install the card in my family rig? I know the difference is...

    Abit stability/reviews?

    I'm looking for a basic motherboard; no overclocking going on and not doing much (only strict requirement is SATA RAID). There are a couple of strong rebates on Newegg, but the reviews are very mixed. Can I chalk it up to people trying to tweak systems and getting frustrated, or is it likely...

    Cheap and future-proof?

    One other note, which chipsets should I look for or stay away from. Are there any that are either notoriously bad or limited (no support for newer processors, etc)? Any chipset that is notable for being cheap by with decent features? I have seen some references to the intial IP35 being...

    Cheap and future-proof?

    Can't believe I didn't see the power search option on Newegg. That will help a lot, and the links looked good. Regarding AMD, my only question is regarding the future of the different chipsets. It appears (at a very quick glance) like they are transitioning from AM2 to AM2+ boards. I'd...

    Cheap and future-proof?

    I need the PCI slots for the server, which will have an IDE and SCSI PCI RAID controller as well as a Gbit network card. Optionally I also wanted to use PCI for sound and video since I have existing cards. If I use the new board for my PC then I don't need the PCI slots. If I get a board...

    Cheap and future-proof?

    Thanks for the memory link. I think my request wasn't clear. I was planning on a cheap 775 motherboard, but wanted any pointers to models to look at. There are a ton out there and I'm having trouble focusing my search.

    Cheap and future-proof?

    I'm looking to upgrade my server. I don't game and don't overclock, so my needs are pretty basic. Looking for suggestions to narrow the field of candidates. I am willing to wait for specials, so multiple options will just let me wait for a good special. I either want a dirt cheap mobo +...

    Repair hints? ACER AL1917W goes black after 1s

    Sad story, bought refurb monitor, went bad at 4 months (warranty only for 3 months) -- most likely same problem as original issue, but bought from CompUSA so S. O. L. Anyway, when I power the monitor on it shows the ACER logo, then shows the picture for about 1s, then goes black. Any...

    CM Black Mystique aluminum case 14.99 AR

    Is it just me, or is it about impossible to get a drive into the external 3.5 bays? The CM 690 also had some problems (drive power cable bumped into support bar) but at least the operation was smooth. I'm returning this.
