I'm helping my nephew with a little upgrade for his computer. I believe he really needs an external graphic card. The problem is, he only has about 100$ to spend. (He's 14) Mostly it's used for Diablo 3 and one of the DOTA games. Otherwise it's used for videos, classwork, and I'm sure some...

Today at work I've been cleaning our equipment storage room. Well I came across this interesting little Cisco box. It's a Cisco 1030 Wireless lan controller. It has a Epia Mini-itx motherboard with a 1.0ghz VIA C3 processor. Its dimensions are H: 2.5" W: 8" D: 10.3". I believe this will make...

Ok so to explain my setup, I'm using the HDMI port on the graphics card to connect the receiver (Pioneer vsx-521), another HDMI going from the receiver to the monitor. The problem is that I hear a hiss from the speakers. The noise seems to be generated from the computer, if I unplug the HDMI...

I'm getting a little out of my league with this new setup. I've been wanting to try out 5.1 on my gaming setup. So I picked up an open box Pioneer VSX-522 receiver, I have it connected via HDMI from my 6970. That part was simple. 5.1 content plays back great, all channels are working properly...

Due to unfortunate circumstances, (Mainly beer) my ATCS 840 was dropped hard when leaving a lan party. Lucky none of the equipment inside was damaged but the front of the case is tweaked. So I decided its time for a smaller case! Let me introduce the Thermaltake V4 black. Its an all steel and...

I have a 1st gen GA-P67A-UD3P motherboard in my system. I received the recall info like everyone else, but I decided to wait to return it, since everything was working fine. Today I actually noticed that I had a problem when connected my E-SATA drive and windows wouldn't recognize it. (My...

My current wc setup has a Swiftech Apogee GTX. I'm in the process of moving everything to a 1155 setup. The stock mounting bracket for the block is 775 but I modified the mounting holes so that it will fit. However I have misplaced the backplate. I don't have any other 1155 compatible...

I'm looking for a full cover block that fits a Reference design GTX570. I suppose that I'll try my luck here Let me know.

I do have heatware under nimbyfaygo. And an ebay account under nimbyfaygo as well. I will provide my phone# via PM if asked. All prices shipped. GTX275 still avaliable. EVGA GTX275 90$ (It does have some coil whine when folding.) I don't consider it overly annoying though. It is currently...

I'm going to be cutting back quite a bit for the next few months. Money just got real tight. It looks like I'm not going to have to sell any equipment, but the SR-2 is going offline. My wife got into a car accident Thursday. Some guy pulled out in front of her on a secondary hwy and she...

I got my new 2600 up and running. Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3p, Bios F6.5 beta Intel 2600k 46x multi 1.34 vcore A-data DDR3-1600 9-9-9-24 1.55v Corsair H50 So far I've been able to get the clock up to 4600, I'm at a wall it seems where it won't boot any higher. It was probably the simplest OC I've...

Ok people, I'm selling my EVGA GTX 275. Selling price for folders is going to be 100$ shipped. I don't have current pictures, but I can get a new picture of it after work if needed. I'll be cleaning the card before shipping, as it's a little dusty. It's a pretty good folding card, with the...

I've just recently put together my little media center pc. To note I went with a mini itx build, it would have been cheaper to go with micro atx instead. It consists of an ASUS M4A88T-I deluxe Mini itx. AMD X2 250. 4GB mushkin DDR3 1066 Sparkle GT 430. Seagate 500gb sata drive. Apevia...

Haha catchy title wins.... My new media center PC. Asus Ma488t minitx, with AMD X2 250, 4gb of mushkin ddr3, and apivia 270w flexatx PS. Of course I had to get it set up and give it a good burn in. I don't even have the case in yet:o I have it setup and running smp client. Which makes me...

*Typo in the title....lol To make a long story short, I have my Corsair TX850 in a custom case. I recently moved and in the process I have lost the stock case for it. So I need a case that will fit a Corsair TX 650, 750, or 850, or equivalent. I don't mind if it's a broken unit, or just an...

I got all the parts assembled and running today. To reiterate it's 2 E5530's with 6gb Dominator 1600 ram. I haven't really done any kind of tweaking yet, I had to install win7 pro because I didn't know that Home Premium doesn't work with 2 cpu's! Keeping everything at auto I got it stable...

I'm going to purchase my new system in the next week or so. And after doing some research I'm at a stall. I am budgeting myself 2k max for the purchase. I'll be needing the following. Motherboard CPU(s) Ram GPU Cooling solution. I already have a case, new TX850, dvd drive, hard...

This problem is a little tricky to figure out. The system is Q6600, GTX275 running Win 7 64bit. I'm running SMP client with -smp -advmethods set. For example I'm running project 6014 (although I see the same thing with all projects) After a restart, I load the CPU and GPU clients, after...

I'm finishing up my G5 project, and I'm trying to get some very high quality pictures of it. I have made several attempts at photographing it, but I'm just not able to get the results I want. Maybe its the camera, maybe its the way I'm trying light it. I'm using a Panasonic FZ30 The case...

I admit I was a skeptic regarding watercooling. I took the plunge and purchased a used setup from a forum member here. My main reason for buying it was for the case mod I'm working on. I finally got it installed and running on my current system. I tested the setup, and last night I clocked...

I'm going to be piecing together my first WC setup. I'm looking for a pump. I don't have any specifics in the type other than show me what you've got. I'm planning on simple CPU only setup I'll most likely get a 120x2 rad. I figured I'd hit up the classifieds first and see if anything...

I have my E8400 C0 for sale. *Crap... I typo'ed the title! 75$ shipped. I just pulled it out today. E8400 is on the right. I ordered it new from newegg on 5/22/08. I've had it running at 4140mhz 460x9 @ 1.36v for several months. Spec's in sig. Results not guaranteed. It is Lapped. Since the...

I'm working on a G5 mod, its going to be fairly standard and straightforward. Over the last couple years I've wanted to mod a G5 case. Recently I was given that chance. I saw an ad on Craigslist that had a "working Mac Tower" for 125$ As soon as I saw it, I called the guy and offered to pick...

I'm looking to buy a quad core cpu that will replace an e8400 that is going to be moved to a HTPC. I'm not going to be real picky on the model/speed. I would like to keep the cost under 100$ shipped if possible, since I'll probably be rebuilding my PC in the next year or so. But I'm open to...

I bought a Evga GTX 275 from a member here not too long ago. This card has given me nothing but trouble since day one. I installed the card in place of the 9600gt and started the computer as normal. First thing, the screen doesn't turn on. I say OK, so I reboot and try again... Nothing. So I...

I decided to build an ATX tower that will hold a Coolermaster 212, GTX275, full size power supply, DVD drive, and card reader. This is my first Iteration of the case. Mostly trial and error, and to test fitment and cooling of the components. I have a 140mm NXZT fan in front, with exit being...

I just wanted to say Hi, and ask a couple questions. Sitting at work yesterday (it was very slow) I started doing some research on the Folding projects, I didn't realize all the great research that comes from this. My grandmother is in late stages of Alzheimer's, and its frustrating knowing...

I just recently installed a 212+ on my e8400 @ 3.8 with 1.27 volts (as displayed by CPUZ) I'm curious as to why the idle temps are higher than the stock cooler. I'm seeing about 49-51C idle temps, 68C running prime95. Granted it still beats the stock cooler. I've had it installed for about 2...

I'm planning an upgrade to my existing system. AMD 4000+ on a Biostar board. Seagate 500gb sata drive. Single Msi 9600, 512oc video card Antec 600w ps. HP 2207 lcd I'm just looking to keep to to basics. Processor, ram, and mobo. I've got the E6850 picked out. But........The E8400...

I have a Dell Inspirion 9300 laptop that I want to trade for a desktop, I bought it new in January for my drployment to Iraq, now I'm retuning soon and I won't need it any more. All I want to trade for is the CPU portion, no monitor or other items are needed. I'm open to any reasonable offers...
