    Do I really need an 800W?

    Wow, its been ages since I've been around here.:D I have returned to ask the [H]ard community their opinion on which PSU I should choose. Way back when I bought an ABS desktop after the XPS 700 fiasco. After an RMA for a dead mobo, UPS trashed it and it ended up being rebuilt by ABS. Of...

    Is ABS in trouble? There is no forum option listed in their support section anymore and I'm not able to find any news about it.

    GA-N650SLI-DS4 Any Good?

    Here is the situation. Picked up an ABS PC way back in 2006 with a 975 XBX mobo. Never plan to SLI and I've heard Intel's mobo's are rugged so I figured it would last. Also I'm an older sort so I decided not to DIY due to a lack of time, energy, and patience. Well it didn't last. A little...

    nForce 590 Chipset Intel Version

    Anyone heard anything on this chipset's release date? The best I have found, so far, is that nVidia plans to release it "around" the time Conroe is released. Ugh, wrong board, where is the delete button?

    DVI to VGA Oops?

    The upcoming Conroe release actually got me excited about PC's again after years of apathy. Spent almost a month checking around to make sure I got the best deal possible for long term performance. Being the old fashioned sort I decided to stick with CRT and ordered a Viewsonic G90F-3. Then...

    I bought an XPS 700

    Yes I have purchased a Dell XPS 700. I, who was so sure I would get a Velocity Micro and wait for Conroe, bought a Dell XPS 700. Why? Well though I will surely deserve flaming for this Dell literally made me an offer I couldn't refuse. My company has an employee discount through Dell and I...

    VM Options on 1500 or DualX

    Being an older "married with children and mortgage" type I believe I would not have the time or energy to safely build my own new PC. I have been looking at Dell and Velocity Micro and starting to lean towards VM despite the Dell discount I get through work. However I am not sure on the best...
