Looking at a couple TV suggestions. We're mostly playing PS3/360 games as well as some PC gaming (skyrim, etc). We'll also be using it as our main HTPC monitor. 60 vs 120 vs 240 Hz? Which TV has the lowest input lag? Should we wait for newer TV's to come out with HDMI 2 or no? Sony...

We're looking for a new laptop for mom. She uses one right now for skyping, browsing the net (google, facebook), and looking through pictures and videos. No games or anything beyond the basics. We're looking to spend around $550 give or take. Basic specs I'm thinking so far should be: -...

Hi! I received my third u2311h yesterday and finally got eyefinity all set up. I did have some questions about eyefinity and maximizing Windows applications. As of right now when I maximize a window such as Firefox it spans all three monitors. Is there a way to make it maximize on just one...

I'm looking at a laptop for my uncle. His price range is $600-650. So far I've looked at the Dell Studio 15 and the basic specs seem good enough for him. Any other suggestions?

I have an XFX 5770 and I just purchased 2 u2311h IPS monitors from Dell. Currently I have 2 19 inch monitors running off the two dvi ports this card offers. But I'm wondering if it'll be possible to run three monitors (the two 23 inch monitors and 1 19 inch)? There's conflicting information...

I need help with this. The story: I fixed a computer that was given to me and decided to make it an HTPC. It's got a decent gaming graphics card and we have a decent 1080p tv to match. The Layout: There is a small couch that sits directly in front of the TV and a larger one that sits...

Currently I'm running a dual monitor setup with both monitors supporting up to 1440x900. I am looking to upgrade to something bigger and found the ST2410 on Dell's website for what I think is a really good price.

Current system in sig. I just purchased the Antec EarthWatts 750W for $68.20 which I thought was a pretty good deal. I got it at ebay. Also, I got an XFX 5770 from Newegg. What I'm wondering is if any of my other parts are going to severely hold me back, namely my processor?

I have accepted a co-op with a fortune 500 company and the pay I'll be getting is great. I'm going to be working May-Dec so I need to take a semester off from school. Since I'll be working full time and be living at home during this time I'll be able to save a lot of the money I earn. So what...

Our price range is $600-750 and we're hoping to get anything over 40 inches. Here's what we are looking at thus far: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/allReviews.do?product_id=10993796 Let me know. This is going to replace an old sdtv so my parents would probably be awed by anything we get. I'm...

Hello. I am trying to overclock my e2180 @ 2.00 GHz to a safe OC with stock cooling. Maybe 2.8-30? Is 3.2 dangerous on stock cooling? Also my EP35-DS3L came with the F4 bios. I downloaded the F5 bios from GIGABYTE's website. How should I go about flashing the bios? I read something about...

My parents are going to be purchasing my little brother a new computer very soon. I was just wondering what the best COA would be regarding this purchase. I believe the budget is around $300-$400. A little over/under should fly. My little brother will be using it for a little bit of everything...

Ok so we have an old HP Pavilion 9870 with an upgraded gfx card and cd-burner. The rest is all the same pretty much. It came with ME and for the last year or two it has been running WinXP. The only real problem was the 128megs of RDRAM. But other then that no issues. Today I decided to reformat...

I recently purchased a Nokia 6133. I love it so far and the reviews are all good but one thing is bothering me. When I talk to someone after any random amount of time it just gets really quiet. I can only hear them if I am in a quiet room. If I am driving or something I would not be able to hear...

My uncle is working on that stuff now and my family wants to buy him a new PC. We're not looking to go all out on it. Something in or under the $1000 range. I'm not too sure on the reqs of autocad programs but I imagine a good processor and ram would help?

So a while ago out of nowhere my friend and I are no longer able to play Counter-Strike in the same servers. It worked before now it suddenly dosent. We are trying starcraft right now and we can both see each other in the Blizz channel and when I host a game he can join it. BUT neither of us...

My parents are in the market for a new pc and I want to build my little brother a nice little gaming rig but it will also become the family pc and will be doing scanning, printing, etc. This will need to last a few years. My dad was thinking of buying him a laptop for about $800 because he...

Its a sweet program!! But I want to know if theres a way to get rid of multiple tray icons it creates? I've already removed the battery ones but theres also the CPU load one with bars, the flag which shows what kind of settings your running on with processor speed, and lastly an icon shows...

Ok my friends pc died the other night. He had some el cheapo Antec case with a 350Watt PSU in it (came with case) and as he was playing a few nights ago it just fried on him. he smelled the smell. His HD made a noise (probably from the sudden loss of power or something). Anyway he got a new...

Ok I'm in a little pickle. I have a few DVD+R movies that I brought to Europe recently and they worked just fine on their DVD players. While there I made copies of my cousins wedding DVD's which were DVD-R so thats all nero would accept to copy them. For some reason they dont work on our DVD...

I've had my Sager 5720 for like 2 months now and its running great! I'm not rich so I need to get the most bang for the buck. So can anyone recommend me some decent speakers. I've been looking at the x-530 and the Audigy 2 ZS notebook sound card. Do I even need the sound card? I've never had...

Ok so I have this old HP Pavilion 9870 pc sitting around and I'd like to invest some ram so my little brother can mess around with it. He likes playing CS and classic UT and some older games and it works just fine with WinXP and 128mb rdram but I want at least double because it is quite slow...

Can someone tell me a few locations of stores? I've explored quite a few places but maybe not enough since I havent stumbled onto a store yet to sell/buy at. Thanks

and I wanna know if there is any way of dropping items you pick up? I havent gotten to a merchant yet and so far the only way items have left my inventory is if there are 0 of it left.... But can I drop them like I pick them up? Also I'm not very far into the game but I completed the sewers...

Im gonna be recieving a new pc and its time to start thinking about a possible way to network them. The best way would be to somehow split the coax cable into RJ-45 is that possible? Because we have coax going into every room (that matters) and it would be a waste to buy a router and wires the...

My mom wants to get one for our trip to Europe this summer. I could also use it around hte house for sales or at my games or something. Her price range is anywhere up to $300 or so bucks. After seeing my aunts Olympus Stylus 410 and how I was able to drag the jpeg images straight to my pc...

Going to Europe this summer so I'm not sure what to get. Lately Ive had my eyes on laptops but I could get so much performance out of a desktop for cheaper. Then again I could take a decent laptop lanning so much easier ;) If I go desktop I'd most likely be constructing it in a SFF case...
