I'm on the cusp of a LONG overdue rebuild of my general use (Office, web, moderate gaming) rig. It's overdue to the point where I'll only be recycling the following: Monitor (Sammy 245t) Case (Antec Sonata) Optical Drive (LiteOn DVD-RW) Keyboard/mouse I have a mass-storage hdd on...

Yeah, it's another one of those, "critique my list" threads. Bear with me, though, as I haven't been in the game for a while. My old XP Pro rig has an Athlon 64 3000+ (2GHz), 2GB RAM, and a Radeon X800 Pro. In other words, an upgrade is LONG overdue! Aside from the XFX card, those are the...

As stated, YMMV at your friendly, neighborhood, brick-n-mortar Wally-World. Nickel-plated hex core round-wound, 9-42's. .009, .011, .016, .024, .032, .042, to be specific. Ok, here's the catch. They're Chinese imports and branded First Act "Crunchies" extra-light. Yeah, I know...

The fact that these people want almost $400 for a used FX 5800, or that a feeling somewhere between morbid fascination and nostalgia urges me to buy it...

I could have sworn we had a thread going for this. I'm not going to use this coupon, so somebody please snag it (and let us know when you do). If anyone else has a code or codes, hook your [H] brothers up! 35% off select PCs over $999 - JJ46JQ213VGX11...

Looks like these have been discontinued, but they're selling what's in stock for a Jackson, plus tax. I just got the last pair at the east Charlotte, NC store. Good hunting.

The black or the white? I'm guessing the black wouldn't hide scratches nearly as well as the white one, but I'm looking to leverage someone else's real-life experience on this.

Just picked one up marked "clearance" at the University City (Charlotte), NC Circuit City. There was nothing in the sales paper or on the site (it's still $99, there) so I'm not sure how many people are going to find this one. Nothing spectacular, but PERFECT for mom and dad's new PC.

Just saw it on their site when shopping for a new optical mouse for a client. Anybody try it, yet? Specs look pretty sweet. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2142,CONTENTID=10715

Anybody know if the dual-1GHz CPU modules from an MDD would work on a Quicksilver? I'm still researching this, but if anyone's had any experience with it, please post! Thanks.

OfficeMax has that slick little Logitech MouseMan Traveler on clearance for $14. Looks great with a PB.

Just bought another freaking Mac. That brings the total to three, counting the old PPC box. It's a quicksilver 867 w/ 1.5GB RAM, 120GB hdd, superdrive, etc. Got it for about half what the certified and/or refurb sites are asking, so I think I did pretty well. THIS is why I stay away...

http://store.yahoo.com/cdrdvdrmedia/usb-hard-disk-enclosure-black-25.html I like the fact that it takes power directly from USB. If you have any sort of lappy hdd collecting dust, this could come in handy.

I find it VERY difficult to believe that Apple expects people to use a white keyboard and mouse with six grand worth of brushed aluminum goodness. What gives?

Just a (relatively) short time into X. So far, so good. I'm still not too awfully crazy about the whole, "this is IT, like it or lump it" philosophy, but I understand it and make my choices accordingly. Hence, I'm still here. Three quick questions: 1. Where the /censored/ is the...

I finally got around to pulling the old Mac 7100 (G3 260 upgrade/128MB RAM) out of mothballs and firing it up. The hard drive went tango-uniform after about 4 minutes. :( I wish I had a recording of its death-throes. Let's just say that it didn't go gentle into that good night. :D...

Nothing truly special about this mouse but the styling (which I've always been impressed with). They're on the way out so I decided to snag one before it was too late. The only place I've found them so far is at OfficeMax for $18 plus $5 shipping plus whatever tax you have to pay...

This is my first ever post from a Mac. Right now I'm thinking, "So THIS is how a future crackhead feels when they take their first hit, huh?"

I'm updating a Sawtooth G4 (450MHz/768MB) and I'm just about to buy OS X for it. I'm under the impression that Panther runs much more smoothly than Jaguar on older boxes like this. Am I right, or can I save the money and just get Jaguar. If there's no real performance difference, I'm good...

I was having a discussion with a buddy earlier today about my current main rig. I really don't consider it to be "all that" but he swears it's a pavement ripper. Here's what it consists of: [email protected](240x10) on a DFI Lanparty UT 250gb with 1GB HyperX PC4000 and a 150gig RAID0. X800 Pro at...

Just curious what you guys think. Until I get my soon-to-be-delivered new A64 and mobo installed, I'm running this tbredB on an nforce2 board. It's a retail 2400+ but I'm running it at 200x11 for an FSB of 400MHz. Since the barton at 200x11 is a "3200+" what should I consider this tbred to...

Here's my current rig: AthlonXP(Tbred) at 200x11 for 2.2GHz (100% cool and stable) A7N8X mobo 1GB HyperX ATI X800 Pro at 500/500 (also 100% cool and stable) Dell 2001FP LCD I'm trying to decide if I should go ahead and drop $300-400 on an A64 cpu and mobo, or just wait until next year...

Would an A64 3200+ with 1GB of RAM and an X800 (any flavor) be adequate to run FarCry at 1600x1200 with 2xAA/4xAF and about 75% of the eye-candy turned on? Anyone already doing this?

I'm considering buying this case off of Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3669&item=6706314385&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW but I'd like to read more about it, if possible, before I buy. Does anyone recognize it or have any idea who might've made it??

Situation: Brand new freshman going off to college with her spiffy new PowerBook. She needs to get her Office for Mac files from her laptop to a library computer running Windows. Possible solutions: - Email it to herself using an account accessible from both computers - Use a disk or...

I was just given a 450MHz G4 running OS9.x on 3/4 of a Gig of RAM. I'll be upgrading the RAM immediately and the video (currently an AGP Rage128) soon. Two questions: 1. Does anyone know if I can use PC133 instead of PC100? 2. Can I upgrade the OS to 10.x and still expect reasonable...

I'm no longer logging in automatically when I hit the Forums. I've done the kill-the-cookie thing and the rest of the basic troubleshooting techniques. Is it just me? EDIT: XP w/sp1 and IE6.0.2. Updates are current.

Found this quite by accident but it sure is funny. In FC, kill a fish (or a whole school of them) however you like. My favorite is the rocket launcher. Then, take your machete, swim up underneath them, and take a swing. You can REALLY launch the little suckers! I'm talking hundreds of...

Since there are already some great (and even better) deals on Kingston out there this deal isn't putting off much IR. It's more of an FYI than anything. If you have FarCry and go to http://www.kingston.com/farcry/ then put in the proper numbers you can get in on the promo. Examples...

They're not listed on the website at all, but I held an honest-to-God BBA 128MB 9500 Pro in my own two hands at my local CC today. It was marked ~$147, too. The 9500 Pro is, IMHO of course, one of the [H]ardest vcards ever made and it can still hold it's own with the current mainstream...

I'm currently piecing together a new rig (currently lacking only the CPU and mobo) and I have a question on storage. Here's what I'm considering: One 80Gig drive on IDE1 as master One DVD burner on IDE2 as master Two 80Gig drives equipped with HighPoint Rocket100 adapters running in Raid 0...

Ok, I just bought an MX700 from a co-worker and I'm planning to replace the stock 1700mAh NiMH AA's. I want to use Lithium ion rechargables but I wanted to make sure that wasn't going to blow anything up. What to you MX700 users run in yours?

I've found numerous glowing reviews but it seems that no boards are on the market and there's no mention of when they'll be arriving. I considered snagging a 755-A and just flashing the BIOS to A2, but I've read of mixed results when doing this. Can anyone shed some light on the A2's...
