I'm hoping I can get a few suggestions on parts for the file server I'm planning on building. Currently I have: 1) An ATX case (6 3.5'' bays and 4 5.25'' bays). 2) A fairly generic 350W switching power supply out of my current INWIN (again, generic) case. 3) At least one WD Caviar...

Hi, I recently upgraded to vista 64bit, and I'm looking for ways to make it faster. In xp, i would disable minimize/maximize animations totally, and this seemed to help when alt-tabbing to and from full screen games. However, with aero I don't want to see the animation effects for normal (not...

Hi all! I have been around the world of DIY computers for a while, and I'm finally wanting to do some upgrading and possible modification to my PC. I got the computer a few months back from a local custom PC shop, and they did an excellent job with it. However in my rush to get it as soon...

So I did a bit of research, and I found out that the Saitek Eclipse was a pretty sweet keyboard. One day I was at Fry's and I found one on the shelf! I bought it and set it up as soon as a I got home (it was $50). And just today (about 2 months later) I found out that I actually bought the...

Hi everyone, I currently have a pretty generic 200gb sata hard drive in my comp, and it is quickly filling up. So, I might want to upgrade, what are the best options? Should I get a pair of hdds and run them in raid-0? (not too familiar with it) Should I just add a second, larger hdd...

Hi guys, I'm having an issue with both Ati tool and motherboard monitor 5 not starting up properly when windows starts. I'm running XP pro, my mobo is an asus p5b deluxe, and my graphics card is a pny 8800gts 320 I can get both of these applications running after I boot, but they won't...

so here's the story. I bought a custom comp from my local comp shop, and had to settle for a modest case (functional, but not that nice looking) and I'm thinking of upgrading to something like an antec p182 with the gunmetal finish. I have built computers before, but do you think it wise to...

Hi I'm looking at getting a cheapo hdmi switch for switching between my PS3 and PC (DVI to hdmi) attched to my lcd. I looked around and found this one. Will that be enough for what I need? Is there any noticeable downside to buying ridiculously cheap cables and switches from monoprice.com...

I'm looking to get a pair of bookshelf speakers for my dorm room. Right now I have my Xbox360, PS3, Wii, and PC (soundblaster x-fi fatality) all connected to a Denon AVR-1907. My budget is about 300-500 for a pair, but I'm not sure if this is reasonable. Let me know your recommendations. I...

I am planning on buying an LG L246W in a few days to use with my PC, Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3, but i need to know what to do about sound. I am moving into a college dorm this September so I wont necessarily be able to use a full 7.1 surround setup or anything (at the moment I have some Sennheiser...

I think I have finally decided on this monitor over the LG L246WP, but I am at a loss at where to buy it. It can't seem to find it at local retailers, so i guess i have to buy it online. I am looking for: 1) What site do you recommend for buying stuff like this? 2) What sort of...
