i.e. Silverstone SG09/10 After working on my first front-mounted-PSU case (Lian-Li A05) I've been obsessed with cases that mount PSU's in the front thereby reducing the case size or width to that of the motherboard. I've been out of the game for a while and started noticing more and more...

Not sure if this belongs here but for those using double-wide graphics cards that block other slots, have you used an extension cable to still use a sound card? If so, any suggestions on a cable? The one's I've researched apparently still don't fit behind a double-wide square card.

Hey all, been out of the game for a while and about to put together a new rig. I have a couple of 240 radiators, blocks, reservoirs, pumps,etc and I know it's a bit gunky inside. Can you guys share your methods on prepping / cleaning these components to try and avoid any issues for my new build?

Hey all, I've been out of the game for a while... I have an unused i5-2400 that I want to use for a new build. I don't want to get "too much" video card vs. the CPU and looking to get into triple monitor gaming ( three 1680x1050 monitors). I'm not against dual graphics cards so I'd be fine with...

Hey all, I'm not doing to well on my Google / Newegg searches to find a single slot card to replace my current ATI 5770. I've seen a few AFOX cards but can't seem to find them available... Also saw a more available 6770 but for some reason, it looks like it can't outperform a 5770...

I'm thinkin about slappin on another 5770 but something tells me my 550BE (3.6GHz) isn't going to cut it. No, I can't unlock the other cores. Will a higher overclock on my dualcore suffice or do I need to look at quads? TIA>

My contract currently has an extra 3rd phone line (first two lines are myself and wife). It was previously connected to a Sony Ericson. I have an old iPhone 2G that I want to be able to use as a phone. I do NOT want data services if possible. On my AT&T account online, I changed the...

I've been using ATi's standard executable driver updates but I'm always reading how the "right" way to do it is to uninstall / delete / driver clean etc etc... could someone clarify exactly what I need to do to update my driver to the latest one?

*EDIT (Title) - it should read "access email ADDRESSES of registered users" I'm assisting a client who currently has his forum hosted at FuseTalk. He is the owner / administrator of that forum but he can't seem to figure out how he can access the email addresses of registered users. He's...

Hey all - Looking for some help building a music-producer friend of mine build a Hackintosh. His target rig: 12-core Mac Pro His budget: Make it cheaper than buying a Mac Pro From Apple's site: I've built dozens of rigs - including servers - but never anything of this caliber and this would...

Partition that had OS pooped out on buddy's laptop and he asked me to go see what I can save from his Documents folder. I put the drive in an external enclosure - I can see the folders but when I click a file, it says I "don't have the correct permissions to access the file location"... I've...

As in - when using "save to desktop" or "send to desktop" functions, is there a way to change where the icons start being placed? By default obviously, it starts at the top left... I'd like it to start on the bottom-right. Trivial, I know. But just wondering...

Finishing off a build for a buddy. Re-used a hard drive from his old system to fresh-install Windows 7 32bit. Previously, there was a Win 7 upgrade (from Vista I believe). After passing boot screen, it asks which OS I want to use: Basically two Win 7 choices. I know which one to choose...

I'm seeing threads on how some people are actually DOWNGRADING their OS's from 7 to XP to play Black Ops (lol?) What does Windows 7 bring to the table in terms of 'enhanced' gaming? DX11 compatibility? I'm kinda clueless to what DX games are using vs. all the new DX's showing up...

Hey all, My wife is on my Family plan. I have an iPhone 4 and she has a BlackBerry Bold 9700. I'm not good at deciphering cell phone plans but I understand that she and I have a shared phone plan, a shared messaging plan, but then individual data plans. I grandfathered into the iPhone...

I'm not too strong on the wireless speed knowledge with K's and k's and such... Just wondering a couple things: 1 - Is there such thing as a reliable USB solution for wireless N? 2 - USB data transfer speeds vs. wireless N speeds... Are there bottlenecks / limitations?

I currently have access to both cards but can't figure out which one to use. Generally speaking, is it better to use a higher last-gen card or current mid-range card?

I've been having an issue where certain .jpg's show up as a stretched, squished down image. As in, an 800x600 picture looks like a horizontal line in Windows Picture Viewer. What's displayed is the same image but only about 10-15 pixels tall by xxx wide. Squished and stretched considerably...

I have the hard drive from a dead PS3 that has saved game files that I want to bring into my new PS3. The old PS3 is not working so I have to be able to use the drive itself along with the SATA -> USB adapter I have. I hear that the files are proprietary and unreadable by Mac or PC...

HD4870. Ran cool as a button using a ThermalRight HR-03 GT and supplied heatsinks with a 120mm fan. Never got over 60C under load. Long story short, the card crapped out. Sometimes splatterfuk graphics in middle of game, sometimes complete blackout / no signal during games. What are my...

Yes, an MW2 thread - and yes, it's about hacking. I'd appreciate NO TROLLING please. I jumped into a TDM yesterday and instantly I could see that it was hacked. Neon letters scrolling all over the place and no ability to choose weapons etc etc... Anyways, I immediately back out - like within...

So my brother brings over his old Gateway laptop. I don't know what he was doing but he basically deleted the OS partition on the drive... (as he described). Bought an IDE-to-USB enclosure to see if I could read anything off the disk... nothing. The drive spins and powers up but no data...

My computer crashed the other day in the middle of a MW2 game - don't exactly know why. It's gotten hot around here but my 4870 didn't exceed 70C and my CPU didn't get over 50C... Regardless, it shouldn't have anything to do w/ my network settings. I'm posting this on a fully connected...

Got some concert tracks that are right-side heavy in volume and I'd like to center it up a bit. Was curious to know if there's a program that allows stereo balance manipulation over multiple files? I can convert them to whatever would help make this work... flac, shn, mp3, wav etc
