i sometimes connect my PC to my TV, and run it at 1280x720 when i'm playing games. for benchmarking purposes, i'd like to do the same while running thru my ViewSonic. when i look at my display properties, that resolution (in fact, ANY widescreen resolutions other than 1680x1050) is unavailable...

let's say i have a blue 120mm fan, and a red one... i want to swap the fans themselves, putting the blue fan in the red housing, and vice versa -- kinda like a poor man's Vantec or AC Ryan. reason being, i'm not worried much about sound, and if it isn't hard, i'd rather buy a couple of 5-dollar...

a coworker of mine gave me a Pentium II (i think it's a 300mhz, but i can't be sure until i hook the whole dang thing up -- read on), along with a mobo and some ram (128mb, i believe). i've got about 6 old AGP cards lying around, and one of them waiting to be thrown in, as well as a few old HDDs...

i have an X-finity, and while it's a fine and stable PSU, the Flex Force cables aren't as useful as i thought they'd be. sure, they're flat, and they fold and snake well, but i thought Ultra could've come up with a better way of routing them out of the power supply, without actually being...

i heard great things about the Coolermaster "Silent UV" fans, but i can only find them in blue. i'd really like to find some in orange and green, but everywhere i've looked, they seem to be sold out. while the AC Ryans seem to show up on the modding radar, i've never really found many ppl...

DFI Nf4 Lanparty Ultra-D... i've got my 3700+ OC'ed to 2640.2 Mhz and my ram is running on a 5:6 divider. after an hour of Prime95, in Everest (and Speedfan) i get the following numbers: Motherboard 48C CPU 37C North Bridge 41C GPU 41C HDD 28C HDD2...

TRADE PENDING i bought this kit and installed it in my case a couple days ago. it works perfectly, and everything is as new (still have the package, all wires, and plenty of velcro adhesive). i just don't like the LED look, and i want to try CCFLs. anyone care to swap? i'd be interested in a...

i have a single UV reactive fan, attached to my Ninja; it has 4 blue LEDs that glow a fantastic color when my PC is running. i also have 2 12" UV LED lamps. they don't seem to give me the real deep UV that i'm after... it almost seems like the very bright blue light coming off of my fan is...

here's a pic to make things easier: this is the inverter included with my Meteor UV LED kit. the two plugs you see are coming off of the LED tubes. this whole affair then is then hardwired to a switch/settings button that mounts to one of my card slots (like a PCI card)...

included with my Antec case are two temperature probes, with an LED readout on the front of the case. from just about every review i've read, they're very accurate (within 1-2 degrees) when compared to various other methods (mobo readout in the BIOS, external measurement equipment, etc.)...

well, after sweatin' it out for a while, and trying to decide if i want to buy a cheap "in-between" video card (i'm testing my new build using a 2mb PCI card!!!), or hang on 'til the 7900 series comes out and then wait for the 7800s to come down in price, i gave up. i caved. i went against my...

please share in my joy! :) sorry if my happy mail-day thread is a nuisance. (i hope not!!)

anyone know of a definitive list of the hierarchy involved in Nvidia's video cards? i see plenty of deals involving the cards i listed in the subject, with the 6600GT, 6800XT and the 6800 (vanilla) all hovering around 100 bucks. seeing as i just want an "in-between" GPU solution, i'm struggling...

as stated in a recent thread i started, i bought some G.Skill ram (2x1GB) from Newegg. i can't get them to run stable @ stock for the life of me. i've tried all kinds of different timings and voltages and settings for the past 4 hours, and it just ain't happening. i'm using memtest to check...

i have 2GB (1GBx2) of G.Skill ram (the ones linked here). i am using a DFI Lanparty Nf4 Ultra-D, and an A64 San Diego 3700+ (not sure if the CPU matters). i'm running the CPU at stock voltage and speed (2.2mhz). my ram reside in the orange slots on my MB in dual channel. i've set some of...

i'm looking at the Sunbeam 5.25" Silver Rheobus. i have two fans i'd like to connect that are only 2 pins. seeing as this unit uses 3-pin connectors, will i need a convertor of some kind? also, when using a Rheobus of some kind, should i connect all of my fans to it (ie; both case fans, the HSF...

i have a brand new inexpensive 450W PSU. i have no intention of using the thing, and i have to wonder if it would really be worth my time to try to sell it. an alternative i've been devising is to remove the 80mm and 120mm LED fans from the PSU. peering inside, i can't see how the two are...

these two both garner very good reviews, they look okay, and they seem reasonable (but not the best) when it comes to noise... i can get them each for ~$30-35. anyone have a reason to go for one over the other? i confess i like the look of the B.O.II with it's crazy blue fins (the...

i'm looking to add a couple UV fans (those AC Ryan two-colors are nice), some UV sleeving, zip-ties and a light source of some type (12-15" UV CCFL). can anyone recommend a good all-in-one online store that carries quality stuff, has fair pricing, and ships fast? i know of several places, but...

i've been piecing my new PC together slowly but surely over the last 2 weeks. case, CPU, RAM, mobo, HDDs, DVDR drive, PSU, all of that has been taken care of (as well as the mouse/kb/monitor). aside from HSF, and few accessories here and there, i'm about a week from turning this bad boy on and...

im' gettin' this case tomorrow, and i would really appreciate if any and all of you could send or post pics of your rig, especially the CPU and HSF. i'm interested in what fits, and how you've all stowed and hidden your cables. any tips or advice you have on what to expect during my install...

i'm building a system around a 3700+ Sandy, evga 7800GT, and DFI LP Ultra-D, but i'm struggling to keep it within the budget i promised the wife. :p i decided that i may as well go for 2GB of RAM, since i do like to have a bunch of crap running while i game (at least, from time to time)...

i ran a search for threads similar to this, but didn't find anything specific. sorry if i'm cluttering the board. i had my mind all made up to go with DFI's Ultra-D, but Epox and Asus' non-SLI boards sure do come cheaper. i plan to try and OC the crap out of everything i can, so is the DFI...

i like plain and simplistic designs (Praetorian, Wavemaster, etc). ideally, i'd like one with a 120mm fan in the front as well as the back, and i'd like to get it all for 100 bones or under. also, should i care much about a slide-out MB tray? tool-less is handy, but not essential. i'm in love...
