I figured I'd post a little update. We ended up buying an EVGA GTX 750ti oc 2gb. The card is a considerable upgrade for his system, and he's pretty happy with the choice. Purchased it refurbished from Tiger Direct for 82$

Thanks for the advice, I think a 750ti will be a good option, and the lower power consumption is a bonus. He didn't really want to, but I think spending the extra 30$ was a good idea.

I'm helping my nephew with a little upgrade for his computer. I believe he really needs an external graphic card. The problem is, he only has about 100$ to spend. (He's 14) Mostly it's used for Diablo 3 and one of the DOTA games. Otherwise it's used for videos, classwork, and I'm sure some...

I've had the same problem in the past on my Maximus IV. I ended up using a DVD to complete my install. I actually ended up thinking I had a corrupt file on the usb stick. I never considered that my front ports are all USB3. Would have saved me several hours of frustration if I knew this before...

I'm slightly kicking myself for getting rid of my pair of 570's a while back and going with 6970's instead.

Today at work I've been cleaning our equipment storage room. Well I came across this interesting little Cisco box. It's a Cisco 1030 Wireless lan controller. It has a Epia Mini-itx motherboard with a 1.0ghz VIA C3 processor. Its dimensions are H: 2.5" W: 8" D: 10.3". I believe this will make...

I have a very similar setup. A 6970 with a 2560x1600 monitor connected via dual link dvi, and a receiver connected via hdmi. Try getting into windows without the hdmi connected. Once your loaded, plug in the receiver's hdmi cable. Open Catalyst control center and make sure that it recognizes...

This makes since, because the volume changes the level of the hiss and it comes equally from all speakers. I'll test and see when I get home.

5.1 setup. Using the ASUS Maximus IV motherboard.

Well, the noise is coming from the computer. I connected the xbox via HDMI to the same port the computer is using and the noise was gone. I also tested by plugging my phone's hdmi up to it, once again noise free. And to verify I'm using the AMD high definition audio device when connected to...

Ok so to explain my setup, I'm using the HDMI port on the graphics card to connect the receiver (Pioneer vsx-521), another HDMI going from the receiver to the monitor. The problem is that I hear a hiss from the speakers. The noise seems to be generated from the computer, if I unplug the HDMI...

The people that frequent this section of the forum seem to have something against them.

These are probably going to be your best bet in that price range. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121002 We use those at work for our portable AV cart. They are decent sounding and have enough volume for 25+ person presentations.

Any reason why the Dayton APA150 http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=300-812 isn't recommended more often? I've had mine for over a year, it's a beast. It will cleanly drive a good pair of bookshelves to their limits. The only complaints would be it's a fair bit bigger...

It turns out this receiver has a mode called EXT.STEREO, it appears to do exactly what I'm wanting. It makes 2 channel audio play out of all speakers with some reasonable processing included to keep imaging fairly intact. Other wise I've just been keeping it on auto surround mode. That way all...

I'm not sure what the correct term is. I'm referring to upmix as taking 2 channel material and playing it through all 5 of the speakers connected to the receiver.

I'm getting a little out of my league with this new setup. I've been wanting to try out 5.1 on my gaming setup. So I picked up an open box Pioneer VSX-522 receiver, I have it connected via HDMI from my 6970. That part was simple. 5.1 content plays back great, all channels are working properly...

Wrong on all counts, stop trolling.

Maybe the Dayton SUB 120. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=300-635 100 bucks for the 12in model. You will be hard pressed to find better for the money. They also have a 10in and 8in model if space is an issue. The driver itself isn't very impressive looking but the entire...

I have a ex360 xspc rad, xspc water block, and a pump (maybe danger den I can't remember) all of it has 1/2 barb fittings attached. I also have some misc lengths of black 7/16 tubing. I'm almost sure that I have the 1366 bracket for the block, I'll have to pull the parts from storage to be...

If your looking for small, you may want to look into the Audioengine set. http://www.amazon.com/Audioengine-A2-Black-Powered-Speaker/dp/B000VKEFN2 They are pretty small and very well reviewed. I'm actually surprised they aren't more popular.

I have one, I'm currently using. I really love the case, it has very well thought out design.

I have to check when I get home. I have been folding a lot of the 10xxx wu's over the last couple weeks.

I just bought the TJ08-E. It's a very versatile case, well built, and with very good ventilation. The case is pretty compact regarding height and depth. However it is wider than I expected, it leaves a lot of room for routing cables. If you have the case on the desk or relatively close to your...

I noticed that I was reading that as .83 amp per fan. If they are .083 then stick as many as you want on there. For a nearly 10 amp load my advice still stands. Drawing 10 amp from a 25ft 18 gauge wire is asking for fire.

Granted I'm not an expert. But I believe that the only true way to tell if the wire is sufficiently sized is to do a check for voltage drop when a load is placed on the line. Ideally you'd want less than a 5% drop at the furthest connection. (Coming from installing amps and whatnot in cars) Or...

I probably got one of your 6870's LOL. I sent an m4a88t-i in for rma and in return they send me a 6870. This actually worked out for the best, since I bought a replacement motherboard anyway.

I still have one as well. It's running the 760 Pentium and 6800go. I ended up giving it to my mom, since she likes the 17in screen. It still handles netflix, flash, and web browsing without any problems.

AMD was the cpu in the first real computer I ever built. Athlon XP 1600, how I miss you. And I have a system with an X2 250 that needs an upgrade.

Its all pretty impressive. I noticed this because I just recently started folding again. However I noticed that I'm rocking some crazy numbers on my 570 with these newer Wu's. I'm seeing 18.5-19k ppd with it. Its been a while since I've folded but I don't remember the ppd being that high.

Wow I can't believe the increase in production. The top 10 is insane right now!

Don't get me wrong. I really don't drink very often and that's the first time I have ever damaged a case. (I banged into the porch rail with my arm and dropped the whole thing onto a concrete step) My old case was way to big to be carrying around anyway. It may have been aluminum but it was...

Due to unfortunate circumstances, (Mainly beer) my ATCS 840 was dropped hard when leaving a lan party. Lucky none of the equipment inside was damaged but the front of the case is tweaked. So I decided its time for a smaller case! Let me introduce the Thermaltake V4 black. Its an all steel and...

I have a Biostar T-force 6100. I purchased it in 2005. My parents currently use it still. Other than the fast that its ugly as sin, it a great board.

Its a good idea, I never liked how they looks all glossy. It took all of 10 min (except drying time) and your able to use speakers in the meantime.

I have the back of the cabinet open. As far as dirt, its no worse than anything else. Besides I blow it out every few months or so. Its never given me any problems. It may overheat if I ever had the volume cranked up for a long period of time. Having an efficient and near field setup means...

I don't have any idea if they will or not. I would like to think that they will though.

Truecrypt 7 is utilizing the I5 and I7's AES-NI instruction set that greatly boosts performance for the cpus that support it. Since the I5 and I7 are supporting hardware encryption/decryption and the AMD isn't, its a pretty terrible comparison.
