When do the new Intel SSDs come out? Specifically the performance (extreme?) version? I can't find solid info anywhere. But I see Kyle's playing with one on the front page already. :eek:
I had enough spare parts around to build a pretty decent second rig with. But I don't know what to do with it. Any ideas?
Here are specs:
Pentium D 3.4GHz
4Gb DDR2 800MHz
nVidia 8800GT
Onboard sound
36Gb Raptor hard drive
CD burner
On a Asus P5LD2-VM mobo with a 400w PSU and 20" Apple...
Will it blend? I mean fit? Looks like it might run into the memory slots.... I'm talking about the first PCI-E x1 slot, as my 9800GX2 muffin-tops the second one. I want to get my PCI X-Fi card out of there and into my backup rig. Anyone tried this combo yet?
Take the x-qpack and all of its clones as a starting point.
Raise the motherboard tray up about 4 inches and mount it there on a shelf. Now just tuck the PSU and the drives underneath. When you put the system together, you'll be able to tuck all the wiring under there out of sight as well...

How do I pick up international RSS feeds in IE7? I get errors when I try to subscribe to foreign language ones, and some I am subscribed to only occasionally post in foreign characters giving me errors only on those days. Do I just need to install more languages in Windows? Or in IE?
I'm looking for a small PSU for a beefy mATX gaming rig. I'm guessing I'm stuck with an ATX psu (which WILL fit my case, btw) but I wonder if there is one with slightly smaller dimensions than average.... It has to be enough wattage to power a quad core and a mean GPU (or GX2 or SLi...
Does anyone make an optical drive with a window in the top of it? I mean similar to the Raptor hdd with the plexi window built in.
I have a window on top of my case over the disc drive, and my disc drive is dying, so I thought this would be an awesome feature in a new one. You know, being...
I've been playing this game for a few weeks off and on. I like it, but it's not really keeping my attention as well as it could because it's really effing hard. I don't understand it. I think I might be playing it wrong or something:
Going from scenario to scenario, I die like every 3-5...
I always make a point of checking out the Shacknews headlines that run alongside the front page every day. I've noticed that sometimes they revert back to a set of headlines from August. So they show headlines about the Bioshock demo coming out and some old XBLA games, for example, and it's the...
Thought I'd let y'all know, in case you've been waiting like I have. Picking mine up now...

I wanted to get a Zalman but the 7000 doesn't fit socket 775 and the 7700 won't fit in the QPack with my mobo (Asus P5LD2-VM) because the socket is right on the edge of the board. Who else makes a good hsf to cool my super-hot Pentium D and fit in the QPack?
I got my Apple CD (20" or 21"?) a few weeks ago and I can already see my desktop burned in when I'm playing games or on the doubleu-doubleu-doubleu. Is this normal? Does it go away? It hurts when I pee?! Aah!
Here's the deal: The logo for one of my favorite bands is a buffalo skull, specifically this image: http://linux.toothandnail.com/solidstate/media/demonhunter/Desktops/dh_wall1_1024x768.jpg
And the centerpiece of my father's art collection is an actual buffalo's skull painted a metallic blue...
I have a stainless steel optical mouse that matches my brushed aluminum rig. Unfortunately it is a lappy mouse and a cheap POS. It moves the cursor around when I'm not using it and has an embarassingly low dpi. Can you point me to a pointer :rolleyes: that is stainless steel or brushed aluminum...
:confused: What is this and why did it suddenly stop working on my computer (even after I reinstalled Windows!)?
I'm running Windows XP x64. My sound card is built-in Realtek ALC882. I was listening to music all day on my comp and suddenly between songs it "broke." The system tray icon for my...
