Will host a "BIM Cloud" with 4-6 Virtual Machines for the architecture firm I work for. Users will be doing AutoCAD, Revit, Photoshop primarily. Clients will use old (or cheap) PCs to connect to this local server...

Selling my EVGA 8800 GTX. I'm not quite sure when I got it, I think it was soon after the Q6600 CPU came out and I used it until a few months ago. Works great, I just upgraded to a less power hungry ATI card. Don't have original box. $80 Shipped OBO.

I've inherited a Vaio TZ-190n/b from work. Apparently it freezes up all the time making it unusable. I installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 RC and the appropriate drivers from Windows update with no Sony stuff and it was working great for maybe an hour before it froze up again.
Here's a...
Selling my Infrant/Netgear NV+ NAS with 3x Seagate 500GB 7200.10's. It's a year old and is completely stock except for doing the fan reversal to cool it better. It has been used very rarely. The logs show that it was used 39 days since I got it last June (not 39 days of total time, but run...
I need to get a pretty decent 20" WS monitor for use at school with my old computer and don't want to spend a lot or setting for a cheapie TN screen, so I was thinking about getting a VX2025WM since they're about $340 which is roughly the same as the Dell 2007WFP, but the Dell has the lottery...
I'm building a new Q6600 system which will need a new PSU. I'm a fan of PCP&C, so I was thinking about the Silencer 610. Here's the specs of the new system:
Q6600 OC of course
DFI P965-S
4GB Ballistix
8800GTX
Couple SATA drives
I'm assuming this PSU will be more than adequate for...
I have a 360 now and want to get COD3. I'm not going to play online, so I'm wondering if I should wait until I get a Wii to pick up COD3 or just get it now. Are the graphics that much better on the 360 version? Or should I wait until I can pick up a Wii?
I've had a problem the last few days with random restarting and other random problems. Sometimes if I do something as simple as opening firefox, it'll just reboot.
My computer is:
X2 3800+ @ 2.3
2GB curcial value
7900gt with zalman vf-900cu
dfi ultra-d
lian li v1000 plus II
4 HDDs

Any comments about these fans? I need 80 and 92mm case fans that are quiet and am pretty impressed with my PCP&C PSU, so I'm leaning towards these. My existing Vantec Stealths kind of suck, so time for an upgrade.
I have an X2 3800+ running at 2.5, which would suit this cpu better for gaming? Is the superclock worth it for the extra $50-60? I don't think I need the GTX unless I can get a deal, so I'm mainly looking at the GTs. I'm currently running an evga 6800GT.
Anyone have a recommendation for a good 26" LCD TV? will be used *occassionally* with DVI for presentations, but otherwise will be used strictly for gaming. I was thinking about the Sharp Aquos LCG5C26U. Budget is under $1200.
So I finally busted out my 1G 5GB ipod since I had to return my nano and gave away my mini and I was shocked to find out that the battery only lasts about 5-6 minutes before being unuseable (haven't used it since the mini came out).
Anyone know a good place to get a decent replacement...
Anything I can do about my nanos screen which is now cracked somehow? I just had it in my pocket and now it's got 3 cracks in the screen. I have an invisibleShield on it too.
I will be using this setup with a pair of crucial value 1GB sticks. I'll be using my current XP-90 with it. I have a Venice 3000+ currently and am looking for an upgrade. Any problems with this setup? I have everything already except the X2 3800.
I'll also be using the 3000+ over in...
I just built a new computer out of spare parts and my video card's fan does not power on during boot up (or ever for that matter). Also, my screen is black and I don't see any post or anything (like the monitor is not getting signal), so I'm guessing it's fried. I don't have another agp card...
anyone got a recomendation for a cheap P4 mobo to take an old 1.8A? It needs AGP, LAN and audio. Nothing too fancy, the 1.8A is a bad overclocker anyways.
Thanks
Whats a good socket 478 mobo that has AGP, LAN and sound on it? Overclocking is not much of an issue, as it will be used with an old P4 1.8A and 1 stick of SDRAM. I don't need dual LAN, RAID, onboard video, etc.
This is what I was looking at...
I have this old rambus system i built out of my spare parts. the motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-8IHXP which has been sitting in a box for 2 years and I added 512MB of working RIMMs and a P41.8A which also works. When I try to boot up, the system posts, but when it tries to load the Windows XP...
Ok, so I have this old hp 8770C sitting around and it won't power on when I hit the power button (worked a week ago). When it's plugged in, I don't see any signs of life from the leds on the NIC or anything on the mobo. I've never had a PSU die on me, but I'm assuming this isthe prolem...
Ok I know this has been asked a billion times, but I need 2GB of RAM for my 3D stuff and BF2. I don't really want to pay top dollar for the Crucial sticks, but I do want some overclockability. I'll be using these on a DFI nf4 ultra and Venice 3000+.
I was looking at the Patriot sticks since...
I have an SN45G with a 1700+ in it and had some spare parts to throw in it. So I installed a 2500+ and when booting up just got a black screen. After resetting cmos, it still wouldn't work. As a result, I reinstalled the 1700+ and it booted up fine.
I know this 2500+ works because it came...
as the title says, i need a pci card with a digital s/pdif output, not the rca connector. I don't really care about other features, but I'd prefer not to have a front panel and extra junk.
will be used with klipsch 5.1 ultras and dd-5.1 preamp.
Heres what I have:
venice 3000+ @ 230 ht
dfi nf4 ultra-d
evga 6800 gt @ stock
2x 512MB corsair 3200-llpt @ 3-4-4-7 1T for now
my results so far:
3DMark Score 11286 3DMarks (3DMark03)
CPU Score 989 CPUMarks
Super Pi 1M 40 Seconds...
I'm looking for a small (about 14") TV with a built in dvd player (that can also play cds). I've heard bad stuff about the toshibas from amazon reviews.
I'm looking for small and cheap here, any suggestions?
no lcds please.
anyone know of a good brand/model for a 32" lcd tv?
-it will not be hooked up to a computer ever
-I dont want a plasma
-thinner the better
-built in speakers a must
I also don't want super high end, just something good.
Anyone have any thoughts on this evga 6800 card? I was thinking about picking one up since it's about $100 less than a 6800 GT after rebate. The only game I play is world of warcraft right now and maybe battlefield 2 later. Anyone think this is a bad buy?
Ok, so i think I'm getting a Powercolor X800 XL since I need the dual DVI. Any reason to get this card over an XFX 6800GT since they're the same price?
I am looking at pci express cards and will be using the card mainly for Maya and World of Warcraft. I am also obviously using dual...
I'm getting a DFI nForce 4 board with Karajan Audio. I'm planning on using the S/PDIF connection to hook up to my ProMedia Ultra 5.1 and DD-5.1 preamp.
Will I notice a difference in quality or performance (with games) by getting a Audigy 2 ZS rather than use the built in nForce audio?
I'm thinking about the Zalman CNPS7700-Cu or the CNPS7700-AlCu for the DFI lanparty UT nF4 ultra-d non-sli I'm ordering. I will likely have 4 sticks of ram soon, so I need to know if there are any clearance issues with this stuff. I currently have 2 sticks of Corsair CMX llpt but will soon...
I'm looking to get a new pci express card for my Venice build, whenever that may be. I'm thinking about getting either an x800 xl or a 6600 gt.
I'm mainly going to be doing 3D work (Maya) and playing World of Warcraft for the time being. In the past I had some conflicts with Maya and my...
Hi, this is my fist post and i'd like some advice from some of you [H]ard users.
I'm upgrading from my athlon xp 2500+ with 1GB of Corsair CMX512-3200LLPT and will soon be upgrading to a Venice 3200. With this i will likely get 2GB of ram to help me with gaming and 3D work.
So...
